MOLINE MENTION

At the meeting of the Retail Mer
chants Tuesday evening the matter of
the annual excursion was discussed
and Rockford was mentioned as one
of the objective points for the next
excursion. President Quick was en-
powered to appoint committee of
five to secure some facts about trans
portation and as to what arrange
ments can be made with the various
railroads to several cities. The sec
rotary reported that 65 merchants
had reported to him on ratings and
that he had 10000 ratings. A com
munication from the Patriarch Mill
tant who asked the merchants to
decorate in honor of the state en-
campment to be held in this city. y
unanimous vote was cast to do this.
Four new members were taken in.

The Y. NJ. c. \. is to have an eXhi-
bition tomorrow evening i'm connec-
ton with the closing of the gymnasi-
um classes for the season. 1t is to be
for ladies and gentlemen, and no adj
mission fee is to be charged. Here is
the program: hDumbbell drill. high
Walt contest, high-dive contest, dog
fight-Matteson and Payton, special
rings, Indian club swinging, matwork
and pyramids, lnapsack race. chariot
race, human race, barrel race, bar
work, gladiator fight, fancy march.
Soon the busy wheels of the three
large factories in this city will stop
revolving and for several weeks the
monstrous plants will be given their
regular annual overhauling and the
repairing of the machinery to make
them ready for another ten months
run next winter. The season promises
to be as busy as the last one has been.
| Deere & Mansur company has decided
to shut down its plant Saturday, June
| 13, but this, however, is only to take
inventory as plenty of orders have
been received to start the shops in a
very few weeks. This shop will pro-
badly be shut down from two weeks
to month. The Moline Plow com
pany had intended to shut down the
last of June but as the work has been
growing very slack they will probably
shut down a week or two before the
end of the month. Supt. Lawson is
not prepared to say when the plant
would be put in operation again as it
all depends on the amount of nipple
ments needed and other matters.
Tuesday afternoon wedding took
place here which came near being
abandoned for the present on ac-
count of the flood in Kansas. The
groom journeyig to this city from his
home i'm Kansas was storm-stayed and
his non-appearance at the appointed
time caused much agitation and wor-
ry in the home of the bride. He was
safe, however. and in order to get
here had to take a three days jour
ney. He arrived i'm time for the cere-
mony which was the more happily
celebrated because of his adventure.
