Owing to repairs now being made on
the east wall of the Moline Pillow

been laid off and will probably not re-

inventory. The old foundry is still
being used and will be kept busy I'M
til the entire plant is closed down
about July l for the annual inventory.

George {. Dorst. the 3-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gust Dorst of Cor
dova. died at the home of Seth Hicks
| in Stewartville yesterday, from the
effects of the lodging of a small tin
whistle in his throat. The accident
occurred last Sunday morning and the
child was brought to Moline Tuesday
by his parents for attention by a
physician. The whistle was small
toy and it slipped into the child's
i 4. L.
ing with it. 1t lodged deep in the cpl
CLOTHS behind the breast bone, and
every effort to draw il upward failed
when DR.. Arp and his assistants at
| tempted TO remove il. So it was de-
cided to push it down into the stom-
ach from which it might be removed
in an operation if as last resort
such a course should be necessary.
Inflammation set in and the child
rapidly sank to its death. The child
was born in July, 1900. and is sur
vived by his parents. The remains
were taken to Cordova yesterday af-
ternoon for interment.

| The volume of water now standing
in Sylvan pool has been exceeded but
once since the great rise of 1880. when
the water stood 1872 inches higher
than the coping stones of the original
tailrace wall. Few people have real
| lied that only once in a period of
% years has this years mark been
surpassed. That other time was in
1883 when the water pressure was so
great that the bulkhead dam went
out. Had the dam held, the mark
that year would undoubtedly have
surpassed the one reached in 1880.
| The water gauge at the arsenal
bridge here has been removed so
there is no way of accurately measur-
ing the depth, but it is safe to say
that 10 feet above high water stands
in the pool. and still the stage is 4
feet below the high water mark of %
years ago.
| The song and piano recital by Ada
Lucille Entrikin and Mrs. James w.
| Cook, (better known as Agnes BiXby
Cook attracted an audience of nearly
hundred people to Hawthorn Thurs
day afternoon, despite the weather
and the necessity for carrying UNI
brellas After the music had been
heard all felt amply repaid for their
trouble. Miss Entrikin is a pupil of
Carlton Hackett, the eminent vocal
teacher in Chicago. She graduated
some two years ago, and has since
that time taken postgraduate lessons
at stated intervals. Mrs. Cook, who
is organist in the Broadway Presby-
terrain church in Rock Island, is a
pupil of Mrs. Atwell, of Davenport,
and her piano playing yesterday was
| excellent.
George +. Holt, the city editor who
has been handling the city for the
Journal, has severed his connection
with that paper and win take charge
of the cigar trade of the Union News
company. in which he is a proprietor.
1t is the intention to enlarge the retail
business and go into jobbing. Mr..
| Holt has the best wishes of his many
acquaintanees for increased success.
