LINES BY ROBERT RExDALE
Pretty Verses on Pope Daily Memoran-
dunn by Rock Island Poet.

The Pope Bicycle Daily Memorandum
calendar for 1905 contains as usual a
convenient memorandum leaf for each
day of the year and 365 original say
ings from the men of letters and litera-
ture in the country, favorable to good
roads, bicycle riding and the healthful
advantages in general of liberal out-Of-
door exercise. Among those who have
responded to the invitation to contrib
ute to the literary excellence of the
calendar is Rock Islands poet, Robert
Rexdale. whose lines appear under date
of Oct 6, as follows:
Over the hills that stretch away
Love rode with Life a summer day
They heard, afar from the haunts of
men.
The piping of the goat-foOt Pan.
The jocund winds. at early MORN
Called gaily from the waving corn;
For them the song of bird and bee,
The road that leadeth to the sea.
And then beneath the starlight glow,
The homeward path true lovers know.
o. Time, you thief, fOrbear to steal
The joy of Life and Love awheel.

RIOT ON A BRIDGE LINE CAR
Conductor Assaulted by TWO Drunken
Men,

The passengers on one OF the bridge
line cars which left this side last ev-
ening at Sis O'Clock were spectators
of a disgusting bit of rowdyism on the
part of two men on the car. The men
had evidently been drinking and were
lust enough intoxicated to be trouble
some They began making trouble
when they first boarded the car. and
their talk was vulgar and indecent.
The conductor, when he asked for
their fare, was subjected to a TRADE
of abusive language. The coins, in
stead of being handed to the conduc-
tor, were thrown on the floor When
the conductor returned, near the other
end of the bridge, he informed the two
men that unless they paid their fare
he would put them off the car. They
paid their fare, and when the car was
over the bridge, they went to the rear
platform. and removing their coats.
prepared to "show the conductor" as
they expressed it. The street car man
was aware of their intentions, and pro-
ceeded to stop the car and put the near
est of the two rowdies off the car. This
gave an opportunity to the other. who
assaulted the conductor from behind.
The passengers on the car began to in
terfere, and the two men started down
Rock Island street on a run. They
were pursued, but made their escape.

RYAN AND cRIPPs.

According to . dispatch which sam Fitzpatrick, manager of Arthur Cripps received yesterday, the Aus tralian middleweight champion has se- cured match ill that city. Crtpps urges Fitzpatrick to leave New York at once for the Pacific coast. Sam however, cannot go until the latter part of next week, as he has some prl- vate business to attend to here. When Cripps left town last Saturday Fitz- patrick gave him q letter of introduc- tion to Harry Corbett. The latter is personal friend of Fitzpatrick and in all probability has secured Tommy Ryan to meet the Antipodean. Such bout, many believe, would be a big drawing card in view of the inter na- tional flavor of the encounter. 1t is many years since an international bat tile was decided in California. Fitz- patrick said to a reporter last night that the bout is to take place before (fhe Yosemite A. c. and the date may Joe June IS, which is the night before Hhe Jeffries- s-Munroe scrap. Cripps in
 two bouts in the east has done

 glieve that he will give Ryan the mill

There are fewer life romances stranger than the one which came to Miss Ada Vail, of Keokuk, Ia One night while the family were living in St. Louis, after leaving Keokuk, Miss Vail dreamed of the man she was going to marry. The dream was vivid one Tn it she not only saw her future husband, but learned his name.
