TO BUILD \ COUNTY JAIL.
Work of the Leaving Court in
 Annual Session this Week.


 Annual Session this Week.
 The county levying court, composed of 8 majority of the justices of the peace of the coun- ty, met in annual session at BerryviiIe Monday, County Judge H. N. Pittman presidiag
 An appropriation of SI3,000 was made for general county ex- penses, &3,000 for the completion of the rebuilding and enlarging the county court house and 3D. 800 for the building of a st5no jail house, to be erected upon Q lot in the rear of the court house, in which is to be placed the steel cages now in use in a corner of the court house building.
 A levy of 3 mills was made upon all personal and real prop erty in the county for a puplio road tax, in accordance with the wishes of the voters as expressed in the recent election.
 The townships were redistrict- ed with reff8rene to roads and the various OVerse9r8 have been duly appointed by the court.
 The matter of the election of county road supervisor was passed, it being at the option of the court whether one be elected or not.
 An effort was made to get an appropriation for the erection of 8 court house in the Western district, but 1t failed. The de- mand was for SlO 900 at first, but a committee compromise, reached by four outof the five members, agreed to recommend an appro- ] priation of s, 600, but the mo- l ton was defeated when brought l before the court.
 Justices who attend this court are allowed the sum $500 per day and all in the county may attend if they desire, but attend anee is not compulsory except in case 5 majority IS not found to ] be present.
 Work on the rebuilding of the court house is progressing splendidly. It is of a very sub- stantial nature. The credit for this is largely due to the personal interests exercised in the matter by county Judge Pittman, vino is devoting much of his time to overseeing tie work.

BREAK IN BRIDGE
Large Boiler Enroute to New Arsenal
Storehouse Bears Wheels
Through the Flooring.
TRAFFIC BLOCKED FOR A TIME
Big Wagon Sinks to Hubs Under Sew,
en-ton Weight-Strineers are
Gone to Decay.

\ boiler weighing about seven tons,
which was being taken from the Grupe
boiler works in Davenport, yesterday
afternoon, to put in the new store
house at Rock Island arsenal. proved
too heavy for the stringers of the Rock
Island bridge and as a result the
bridge will need considerable repair
ing.
A gaping hole in the floor of the
center span is but one of the many
marks left by the wagon and it's load.
The boiler is one of the four that the
Grupe boiler works is constructing for
the government and is claimed to be
as large as horizontal tube boilers are
made, the dimensions being 72x1O. 1t
contains 30 4-inch fiues and is so heavy
that the transfer company was forced
to furnish four horses in order to de
liver it.
An immense wagon was used. and
unfortunately was too wide to use the
street car track. so the driver had to
mOnopOlize the center of the bridge.
The Tri-City Transfer company di-
rected the haul Meanwhile all
traffic was stopped by order of
Lieut.. Col Blunt. and it remained so
until the difficulty was removed, con-
Stunning nearly half an hour.
TimberS Are Rotten.
In is very probable that the supports
of the flooring would have held the
weight had they been in proper cOndi-
ton, but where the wagon went
through the timbers were so rotten
that it is doubtful if they would have
held the weight of a horse. 1t is I'M
usual for such a bulky article to cross
the bridge but as it was for the gov
crnmCnt it was ordered TO be delivered
that way in order to minimize to the
greatest extent the slime consumed.

Stevens, and he procured a carriage
and was showing them the pleasant
sights. The time had arrived for them
to go to the depot, and while on the
way they encountered some piles of
dirt along the curbing where repairs
to the street were in progress. In at
tempting to escape street cars that
were coming in opposite directions the
horse became frightened and the bug
gy was run into one of the dirt piles
/ This overturned the vehicle and all
three occupants were thrown to the
pavement. Fortunately Mr. Stevens
was able to control the horse until all

the first opportunity and dashed up all

HOW PRICES HAVE INCREASED
Paul Hennebcrg Points Out Facts as
Shown by u. S. Labor Bulletin.

Rock Island, Sept. 3. Editor Argus:
According to bulletin 81 of the United
states department of labor it takes
$149 to buy as much coal as $92 would
buy ten years ago. 1t takes Sis to
buy as much vegetables as SIS would
buy eight years ago. 1t takes 1921 to
buy as much lumber and other building
material at $40 would buy seven years
ago. 1t takes SIP to buy as much in
drug store as SS7 would buy nine
years ago. In women's dress goods If
takes $10G to buy as much as $SS
would buy seven years ago. And on
an average $113 in your pocket today
will not buy as much as $50 would
buy seven years ago. How is this for
the benevolent prosperity which is
so much wanted for the workers of
this country by the republican party?
