TALK OF ELEVATING ROCK
RIVER BRIDGE AT HILLsDALE

The bridge committees of the Rock
Island and Whiteside county boards
of supervisors who have in charge
the construction of the bridge being
Jointly built across Rock river near
Hillsdale. are negotiating with the St.
Louis Bridge company, which has the
contract, for the raising of the bridge
Il couple of feet above the elevation
provided for in the specifications. 1t
was provided that the structure be 2S
feet above low water and the tubing
for the piers has already ben put in
place. Those who live near the river
at that point now assert that the top
of the tubing is but two feet above
high water mark and express the fear
that unless the bridge is made higher
the ice will place the structure in ser
ious jeopardy every spring and there
will be danger from an unusually high
stage of water at all times. The com
pany wants 5000 to make the bridge
two feet higher ana the supervisors
consider the sum excessive.

WARNER WEATHER BRINGS
INCREASE IN HUMAN ILLS

Local physicians declare that there
is great deal of sickness in Rock Isl
and at present, and that pneumonia
is prevalent to marked degree.
Many of the cases are of a serious
nature
While the weather was severely cold
there was not so much sickness. but
as soon as the temperature began to
rise people became careless in going
out without their heavy clothing and
consequently many caught cold, which
developed into pneumonia. Doctors
advise all to be particularly careful
at present and to do all that is posi-
BILE to prevent catching a cold. When
the streets are wet and muddy the
greatest precaution should be taken
to keep the feet dry. as wet feet are
largely responsible for a great deal
of the sickness at this time of the
year. \ great many are suffering
from grip also. In some families all
the members are afflicted and the
homes resemble hospitals.

sent to do so. The action is taken as
side swipe at Hon. Henry V. Fisher,
of Geneseo. who wants the nomination
for lieutenant governor. His name
was not even mentioned in the CON
vention of his home county, thereby
putting an end to his boom.
Contest in Fulton.
Fulton county will have contesting
delegations in the state convention,
one elected by the Chiperfield adher-
ents in favor of GOV. Yates. the other
by friends of Lawrence Y. Sherman.
The Sherman delegates bolted the

a motion to appoint, Il committee con-
sisting of one delegate from each of
the precincts in the county. as has
been the custom for years, to select
the Is delegates who are to so to the
state convention.
The delegates in the Snively4Chiper-
field convention were instructed for
b. NJ. Chiperfield for attorney general,
and will be for Yates for governor.
w. II. Emerson will have the Clipper
field delegates in the senatorial con-
vention for representative. The Sher-
man men selected an uninstructed del
egatiOn. which if seated in the con-
vention will be for sherman for gov
ernOr.

structed delegates in Hamilton coun-
tY for him for governor. j. Il. Camp
bell was indorsed for congress and
DR.. j. Sorgan fer the legislature.
