HOBO WITH ABNORMAL
APPETITE HITS TOWN

y big and husky hobo this morning
started down the line in the region
of Twentieth street and Eight avenue.
lie stopped at the residence of Il we'll
known business man and, as he offer
ed to work, he was given a square
meal and sent on his way. Instead of
going along as he might have been eX-
pected to, he stopped at the very
next house and worked the same sort
of graft with the same result. After
eating the second meal he seemed
ill,unsatisfied and started in to beg
third. Some of the llind-hearted
ladies who had been watching his
course became solicitous in regard to
his health and notified the police.
Officer Mccarthy responded and took
the stranger to the station, it is
hoped, i'll time to prevent his falling
victim to dyspepsia.

A PIONEER CALLED
Mrs. Martha ReardsIee Dies at
Home of Her Daughter,
Mrs. Ague.
LIVED HERE NEARLY 10 YEARS
One of Very Earliest Settlers of
Yuma and Later a Resi-
dent of Geneseo.

Mrs. Martha Beardslee, one of the
very earliest pioneers of this portion
of the state, died at 4 o'clock this
morning at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Clinton Ague, at Fifth
street and Fifth avenue, after an ill
ness of about seven weeks with drop
sy.
She was born in Guernsey county,
Ohio, in 1918. Her father, James
Cherry, first settled in Henry county
when the daughter was 10 years of
age. Mrs. Beardslee and her hus-
band, erasmus Beardslee, were
among the first, if not the very first
of the settlers in Yuma township,
this county. Before the Black Hawk
war they lived several years in Rock
Island, then a mere village, afterward
returning to their farm in the upper
end of the county. Late in life they
retired to Henry county, living a
number of years in Geneseo. where
Mr.. Beardslee died 10 years ago.
Had Remarkable Memory.
Up to recently Mrs. Beardslee en-
joyed very good health for one of her
age. Her memory of the days of her
youth was very clear and she recount
ed many interesting anecdotes of the
days when the Indians still numer-
ously inhabited this section and life
was fraught with hardships that
seem almost incredible now. There
are left one son, n. Il. Beardslee, of
Hennessy, Okla, and two daughters,
Mrs. Mabel Ague, Of this city, and
Mrs. Alice Kinney, of Rice county,
Kans.
The remains will be shipped to Gen
eseO tomorrow morning for inter
ment beside those of the husband.

LIvERYMEN UNITE.
Tn. City Organization Perfected
at Meeting Last
Night.
louis WIESE Is PRESIDENT
Uniform Price Scale Adopted to Go
Into Effect Sum
day.

ABOUT eighteen liverymen of the
three cities, representing every indi-
vIdual livery firm in Rock Island, Dav-
export and Moline, met at Lair
mann's hall, in Davenport, last even
ing and formed a permanent organic
alton, which will hereafter be known
as the Tri-City Liverymen's Protec-
tive association. The agitation for
the organization of the association
has been going on for some time and
a number of preliminary meetings
have been held, but it was not until
last evening that the organization
was really assured.
Officers were chosen last evening as
follows:
President-Louis Weise. Davenport.
Vice President. \. Murrin, Rock
Island
Secretary and Treasurer - Frank
Dou, Davenport.
Board of Directors-G. S. Atkinson,
of Davenport; Henry Frick, of Rock
Island, and Robert S. Blackwell, of
Moline.
Charges to Be Higher.
The purpose of the organization
and the motive that prompted its
birth is the regulation of the prices
charged by liverymen of the three
cities. The desire has been that these
prices should be uniform On ac-
count of the price of feed, which is
somewhat higher now than it was
previously and a recent rise in rubber
for the rubber tires which are used
by local liveries, the men state that
they cannot in turn supply the public
at the same price without a loss.
\ scale of uniform prices has been
adopted, to go into effect Feb. 15.
The minimum price on funeral trips
after that date will be 81, while other
service will be from so cents to ST.
while that for parties will go up from
about So to 81.

Postal Notes.

The street letter boxes will short
ly receive a coat of paint, and the
first small boy, or big boy either,
who is found marking or scratching
them up in any way, will find
Uncle Sam after him with sharp
stick. This is no joke.
The postmaster would again Ii
to remind the business men and the
public, that all letters and packages
should be mailed at least thirty
minutes before the schedule time
for the arrival of all trains, in order
to insure the dispatch of such mail
matter on that train. The law re-
quires that mails shall be closed at
least thirty minutes before the ar
rival of all mail trains.
It would be a great saving of
time and vexation of spirit, both to
the people who are now beginning
to send out their Holiday presents,
and to the Postal Clerks who must
handle them, if the sender will take
plenty of time to properly wrap and
securely tie up their packages.
Another important thing that must
not be forgotten, is to properly ad-
dress them. See that the name and
street number is plainly written, as
well as the name of the town or
city and state Several packages
were dropped into the postoffice
last year without any address upon
them at all. Many were SO loosely
tied that the string or twine came
off when they were dropped into the
package box. The Postoffice de-
partment cannot possibly take the
time to see that all packages
handled by the clerks and others
whose hands it must pass through,
are properly tied. Be sure that
you use ordinary precaution and
Judgment in these matters and the
postoffice will do its part.
A prominent citizen accosted the
postmaster on the street the other
day, with what he thought was a
good sized kick" He held in
his hand package of papers which
he had mailed to his son in Califor-
mia, which he had dropped into the
postoffice the day before, but which
had been returned to him through
his brothers box. The postoffice
clerk had made the mistake of put
ting the package in the wrong box,
but was partly eXcusable because
the son bore the name of his uncle
in whose box the package was put.
The aforesaid prominent citizen
had made the mistake of not weigh
ing up his package, or having it
weighed, before it was deposited in
the postoffice and placing thereon
the proper amount of postage to
take it to its destination. If it had
been letter, the clerk would have
marked the amount due on it and
forwarded it to its destination, but
the postal laws require that all
packages, papers, merchandise,
ETC., must be prepaid in full, before
they can be sent forward. If the
public will remember this ruling of
the department, it will save them
much time and annoyance, and the
department a world of trouble.
P. M.
