ELECTION PASSING OFF
QUIETLY IN THE COUNTY

The prevailing weather today has
not been such as to stimulate inter
est in the election, and while there is
an apparent indifference on the sur
face throughout the city. yet the vote
that is going in does not denote that
the first duty of the American citizen
today is being entirely neglected in
Rock Island.
Considerable scratching is being
done, and the outlook is that Con
Donovan will run ahead of Heider for
sheriff in Rock Island as we'll as
Throughout the county, and will hold
the republican candidate down in Mo-
line into the bargain. In fact the pre-
diction is as freely made among re-
publiCans as democrats that Donovan
will be the next sheriff of this county.
The Indications are also favorable to
the election of George w. Henry as
county treasurer.
On the question of minority repre-
sentative. democrats in Rock Island
are as rule disregarding the advice
of the Moore faction to bolt and are
voting the ticket straight.
Returns of the election. locally
speaking as well as all over the coun-
try. will be received at The Argus of
flee as usual this evening.

night bath, stepped back against a
hot stove, which burned him severely.
The child was in great agony and his
mother could do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had n
bottle of Chamberlain Pain Balm in
the house. she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks
was well. Mrs. Benson is well

TRAIN NEAR DISASTER
Passenger Cars Pass Fifty Miles
an Hour Over a Broken
Rail.
JUMP sPCF WITH TERRIFIC JOLT
Repair Men at Work When Engine
Shows Up Over

n special from Morris 0ll.) to the
Chicago Tribune of this morning
says: Passengers on n westbound
fast train on the Chicago, Rock ISL
and d PacInc road, which passed
through Marseilles last night about
q: 80 O'Clock, will probably never fully
realize how close they were to death.
At the rate of so miles an hour the
train leaped over Il broken rail just
as it passed the station. and Il score
of persons stood by expecting every
second to see the cars leave the track
and pile up. The broken place in the
rail was over Il foot long. and the
heavy wheels leaped the space with
terrific jolts. Section men discovered
the broken rail just before the train
was due, and were repairing it when
the train showed up over hill. Some
of the spikes had been pulled out
There was a delay in tagging the
train. which usually went through
Marseilles at about GO miles an hour
The engineer apparently did not heed
the signals until almost on the spot
where the broken rail was being re-
paired. An attempt was made To-
stop the train, but the distance was
too short
Another New Line.
The Rock Island system continues
to stretch out. If it keeps on grow
ing as it has been doing since the
Moore brothers took it it will cover
most of the map west of Chicago,
and will not be long in doing it. This
is the latest dispatch about it, dated
Colorado Springs
1t is said that Colorado Springs is
to have another outlet to the Pacific
coast, as well as new road which
will tap the immense coal fields at
trinidad. Witnn GO days il is said,
contracts will be let for the building
of POS miles of railroad by the Rock
Island system. connecting Pueblo and
Santa Rosa, \. NJ.
The Rock Island line from Liberal,
Kan. which connects with the South
ern Pacific at FL Paso, runs through
Santa Rosa, and the proposed line
from Pueblo to Santa Rosa will be
the connecting link i'm the Rock ISL
and system between Colorado and the
Pacific coast.
The Rock Island uses the tracks of
the Denver and Rio Grande between
this city and Pueblo, and when the
line from Pueblo to Santa Rosa, y.
NJ, is finished it is understood that
the Rock Island will lay its own
tracks from here to Pueblo.

NO MORE TRAIN COLLISIONS,
CLERGYMAN'S DEVICE MAKES THEM M
POSSIBLE. IT Is SAID.
[sY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIpuxE.l

Omaha, July 25.-Railroad collisions will be-
come a thing OF the past If a invention
which the Rev. Kurtmann Mueller. pastor Of
the German Lutheran Church - Hartford. S. d.
comes into universal use By it two trains can
not, It is alleged, get within 1000 feet Of each
other on a single track. When the trains reach
a point where they are 5000 feet apart danger
signal in the form OF electric globe is lighted
in the engine cab directly i'm front Of each engi-
neer. If the engineer for any reason falls to
stop his train the engine will automatically stop
itself The train moves .. 600 feet after the dan
ger signal is first displayed. and then the device
automatically blows the whistle warning
and stops the train.
This is not all that Is accomplished according
to report by this almost human piece Of ma
chnery In the superintendent's office hangs a
dial with indicator and the superintendent
may look at this dial and find out the exact
point where every train on his division is To-
Gated whether running or standing still II
running he can tell the speed each is making.
He can also. by simply throwing lever. turn
the automatic device every working engine
on his division, and bring them all to a stand
still at one time. He also stop any
train anywhere and then flash lights in the cab
TO the engineer to give him orders by code or
signals.
The communication between the superintend-
ent's office and the engines is by two electric
wires which are strung along the telegraph
poles then attached to the track at certain
points by two wires running down the poles and
under the ground to the track. The scheme Of
stopping the trains requires no electric wiring OF
the rails The only extra equipment consists or
brass plates placed under the nshpIates ana next
10 the rails to insure connection. On the 'front.'
of the engine above the cowcatcher is placed an
iron box about IS inches square in which the
battery and device are placed. If a switch is
left open the danger signal is given in the cab,
because the connection with any train which
nav he on the side track Is at once evidenced on
the approaching train, the connection with the
main track being broken while the switch re-
