Industry that Hon. Ben I. Gable
Controls aud May be Moved
Here.

Exceptional local interest attaches
to one of the devices that is on eXhi-
bition in Rock Island in connection
with the conventions of the bankers
associations of two states here
and in Davenport. The particular de-
vice is what is known as the Universal
Adding machine, and while it is for
the present being manufactured by
the Universal Accountant Machine
company of st. Louis, it is in reality
Il Rock Island institution, for it was
the capital and enterprise of Hon.
Ben T. Cable. of this city, that put it
on its feet and still controls it. What
is more to the point, it is not unlike
" that one of these days it viii be a
Rock Island industry in fact, in com
mon with some other enterprises in
which Mr.. Cable is extensively inter
estcd and which he has always plan
ned to eventually have located in this
city.
OOerated by Electricity.
The universal adding machine Is
both hand and electrically operated.
but it is in the latter respect that il
eNcels all other labor saving inven-
tions Of its kind. Apart from the per
lection that has been attained in its
mechanism, by the attachment for
electricity which may be conveyed 10y
wire from an ordinary cleo
trio light burner, it becomes not only
machine that runs by lightning. but
| like lightning. 1t is almost human III

accounting houses in the country have
demonstrated its practical value. anC
the demand for it is quite up to the

| facture.

Mexican
The warrant was issued at the in
stance of F. Garcia. a sheep raiser,
living near this city. The defendant
appeared for his preliminary hearing
before Justice Garcia yesterday and
was bound over in the sum of $500 to
await the action of the grand jury. His
bond was signed by Anastacio Con
zales and j. Frisco Garcia. The plain
tiff alleges that the defendant agreed
to work for him during the lambing
season and secured part of his wages
in advance. He reported for work, but
according to the allegation of the CON-
plainant, was caught in the act of kill
ing a lamb. A remonstrance at this
action caused him to quit work.
