.RINCK A POLITICAL PROPHET
Deputy County Clerk Wins Four Hats
On Election.

John Rinck. deputy county clerk. has
the palm as the political prophet OF
the court house. John has won four
hats on his predictions in the recent
presidential election. John told Judge
l.. E Parmenter and Master i'm Chan
Gerry F. II. Kelly that the city of Rock
Island would give Roosevelt a bigger
vote than the city of Moline. They
did not agree with him, but hoped he
was correct. There was no wager
made. bat they promised to buy Jonn
a new bonnet If his dope panned out
right. This morning they accompan-
led John to a Second avenue store AMI
told him to take his pick Of any hat
in the store. They wanted him IL
have u tile, but John demurred. he
thought an ordinary block would last
longer. AS a result OF the vote on
president the city of Rock Island gains
two convention delegates and Moline
loses nine.

II to the West End of
Island.

met in monthly session at Manufac.

ter dinner there was a short business
session at which four new members
o. B. Hampton. NJ. W. Campbell and

Discussion of an annual entertain.
ment was then taken up. a letter re
ceived from Ella Wheeler Wilcox by

stated that she does not make prac-
tice of reading CT lecturing. A spec
ial committee was ordered appointed
to take up this yearly feature of the
club and correspond with others who
are considered worthy to be presented
to a tri-city audience.
Musum Of Early Relics.
The preservation of the old Daven-
port homestead on the upper end of
Rock Island was brought up by mem
bers who had recently noticed that
the historic landmark is apparently
on the verge of collapse. 1t was sug
gested that there is a strong sentiment
in the three cities for its preservation
and a plan has been advanced by Col
Blunt, the commandant. for its removal
piecemeal and reerection in the public
triangle just east of the Rock Is'and
railway tracks at the west end of the
island Parts that have decayed could
be replaced and the building placed in
charge of a custodian and kept as Q
museum for the display of souvenirs
of the early pioneer days of this To-
cality. President ReXdale was IL
structed to appoint committee to get
something more in detail upon the
plans and the outlay that the project
would involve and report.
May Meet I'm One City.
The matter of the clubs meeting in
or or other of the three cities instead
of changing in rotation was also con-
s;dered and the entertainment commit
tee was ordered TO take vote of the
membership By letter ard report.

JOLIET INSANITY is GROWING
Warden Biames IdIeness, But Says
Law Can be Made Practicable.

Warden Murphy of the Joliet peni,
Tertiary admits there has been some in
crease in insanity among prisoners due
to idleness and the consequent rest
lessness and worry. He thinks. how
ever. that with a few amendments the
anti-contract law could be made prac-
ticable and that all convicts could be
kept at work under it. He says tho
principal difficulty at present is find
ing a market for the goods that are
being manufactured. These are shoes.
reed and rattan furniture. school fur
niture and brooms. OF the l.400 pris
oners only 300 are working. The force
are shifted. so that all get turn. and
there are daily marching exercises for
the unemployed.

VindicaliOn Not the Real Thing
Davis Is Alter.


At Texarkana the other day
Judge Wood gave Gov. Davis a
severe drubbrng before a large
crowd Judge Wood began by
saying that he was running for
governor, while Davis was run
ming for vindication. If Govern
or Davis had done no wrong he
needed no vindication, while if he
had done right his record should
be sufficient vindication, and he
was utterly without cause in call.
ing upon the people to violate the
cardinal, unwritten law of Dem
ocracy, which was uncompro-
mlslngly against a third term for
any governor. He declared the
governor was resorting to the
lowest kinds of politics, to low
demagoguery, in the hope of di,
vldlng the voters. Gov. Davis
ooasted that the newspapers, law
yers, townspeople and other in
telIlgent people were against him,
but that the red necks and hill
oIIIles formed his old guard and
would pull him through, that he
was a one-gallus Baptist and
would be taken care of by the
boys from the forks of the creek.
Inc governor had branded the
supreme court as thieves and had
promised to swing them from the
temple OF justice. That was itself
enough to retire the governor to
political oblivion forever.

John Walker, a supposed beg
gar, died at Omaha, Nebraska, a
few days ago, in a howell barely
decent enough TO shelter a shoat
over night. But when his body
was taken in charge by the proper
authorities, it was found that his
rags contained all sorts of money,
and in all he possessed $4,000.
There are many John Walkers ia
milder types; many who hoard
money at the expense of personal
comforts and the actual necessities
of life, and when they shuttle off
this mortal coil the fruits of their
penuriousness passes into strange
hands. The greasy-handed mis-
err and the man who sees nothing
in life but hard coin is nothing
more nor less than an insane
creature, who is as dangerous as
he is foolish.

Mr.. Bede Is Frank.

Representative J. Adam Bede,
of Minnesota, is the very essence
of frankness, and he tells repub-
ljcan secrets with refreshing can
dor. At a speech before the Es-
sex Club, of Boston, a few days
ago, in speaking Of President
Roosevelt and praising him high
ly, he said: "Some people may
think he is little impulsive, and
others say that his watch was a
few minutes fast when he took
Panama. Well, he may not have
set it just at Standard time. But
We are going to take Panama
anyway, 1t was a question of
ten or fifteen minutes, and what
difference did it make whether
you took it at sunrise or noon?"
This leads the Atlanta Consti-
tuition to say:
Certainly it made no differ
ence-if we were going to take it
II one is going to rob
his neighbours hen roost it really
is immaterial whether he robs it
at 3 a. m. or 3:15. The import
ant thing is to grab the game and
get home with them in time for
the mornings devotions. Ac-
