But the Dreamer Did Not Interpret II
Correctly.


"As a rule | place little faith in
Dreams" said Bob" Stone of Weber's
Music Hall, "but one l had the other
night impressed me so strongly that
looked upon 1t as a special 'hunch'
and followed It up.
II thought I was at a country fair,
or some other outdoor gathering.
There was a race course in the dis
tance, and all about me were people
decked out in holiday attire. What
most impressed me was a couple COM
ing along the path | was walking.
They were negroes and the woman
was gorgeously dressed. She did not
seem to be the ordinary type of neg.
ress, but appeared to be more lille a
queen of some African tribe. The man
hardly noticed, but kept looking at
the woman as she approached with her
escort. So intent was my gaze that,
without intending to, separated the
couple. they passing on either side

New Roentaen TerminoIoay.

At the recent Roentgen congress in
Berlin special committee adopted
the following terminology for the new
science. Roentgenology is the study
of Roentgen rays. Roentgenography
is observation by Roentgen rays.
Orthoroentgenography in place of
orthodiagraphy, Roentgenotheraphy
and the verb to roentgenise in their
obvious meanings.

Titled Engine Driver.

Probably the only occasion on
which a titled lady acted as engine
driver was when the Marchioness of
Tweeddale drove the engine of the
first train that crossed the new Fourth
bridge. Notwithstanding its enor-
nous length and the keen wind that
was blowing in her face. the mar
chioness carried out her self-imposed
task, and was congratulated on the
uniform speed that she maintained.

COMPANY C At GALESBURG
IN PREcARi0US CONDITION
Many Discharged For Absence From
Drills and Officers
Resign.

Col. Kittilsen of the 9th regiment
will pay Galesburg a visit within few
days. at which time he will seek infor-
nation that may decide the fate of
Company c of that city, as it has been
rumored about during the past few
days that the company is in danger of
being mustered out.
That the company has been greatly
weakened since last summer when it
had a membership of 80 is selfevident
from the fact that the membership is
now but a little over 40, and within the
past few days nearly all the minor of
fcers' terms have expired or they have
handed in their designations.
The membership of the company was
materially reduced a few months ago
when Is or 20 of the members were
discharged by the state because they
we're not paying sufficient attention tc
drill and because of certain practices
at the armory that were not in accord
ance with the military code and that
did not meet the approval of the Off
GERS. During the spring the terms OF
several of them have expired and few
of them have reenlisted.

So Three. Eye Teams All Had
Another Day OF
ldlsness.
TWO OPENINGS POSTPONED
Big Crowd Of Fans Will See Islanders
At Peoria Sunday-Exeur-
sion Popular.
GAMES TOMORROW.
Rock Island at Bloomington.
Davenport at Decatur.
Dubuque at Peoria.
Cedar Rapids at Springfield

Again ii rained Not a game was
played in the Three-Eye league yes
terday. Pretty hard luck, the mana
gers say.
So discouraged was Peoria that it
was announced that there would be no
game till tomorrow. as it was believ.
ed that the ground would not be in
shape this afternoon.
At Bloomington the opening cere.
monies were put off till today A
great turnout of automobiles was ar
ranged for this afternoon, the baseball
players and officers of the local asso-
citation riding in touring cars through
the principal streets of the city pre-
coded by a band
Friends VIII Greet Them.
Tomorrow the Islanders finish the
Bloomington series and then go to
Peoria, where at the opening game
Sunday they will be greeted by several
hundred Rock Island fans who will go
to the Still city on the excursion over
the Rock Island. Peoria has already
begun to see visions of the pennant
but perhaps they will not be so san
quine when Rock Island has finishdl
there. In the little opportunity that
the local team has had on the road an
unusually good showing has been
made. but the god of rain has won the
majority of victories.
When the team returns home it will
have completed the longest opening
trip of any in the league and partici
pated in two opening games. 1t is
needless to say that no matter what
the result is in the remaining games
on the road the reception here will be
enthusiastic and there will be record
crowd to- formally open the Island City
park.

PEOPLE WILL PAY
Increased Cost of Mining Coal
Under New Law Will
be Light,
YET 1T BREAKS AGREEMENT
Miners Have Till June to Answer
Operators UItinatun and Peace
Will Hold Till Then.

The coal operators of Illinois have
put the question of the shotfrers bill
up to the governor. who is asked to
veto it. and the miners, who are ask
ed to disregard it until the close of the
contract now existing between the OPP
orators and miners, which will be April
l, 1906.
Under the present arrangements the
miners pay the shotfreTs wherever
they are employed.
Under the new law the operators
must pay them and they must employ
shotfirers in all mines where more
than two pounds of powder shall be
used at blast. The operators contend
that the miners should continue to pay
for the shOtfirers and the miners say
that it doesn't make any difference to
the operators as long as the consumers
of coal pay the bill.
According to the statement of high
mining officials the extra cost of pay
ing shotfirers in the mines can be paid
by adding a cent a ton to the selling
price of coal.
1t is frankly admitted on both sides
that any increase in the cost of mining
coal comes out of the pockets of the
customers of the coal mine, but there
is a principle in this shotfiring bust
ness that the miners are fighting for
and that the operators are arrayed
against
Answer by june 1.
The miners have until June l to
answer the operators ultimatum. This
means that there will be no final de
cision until the miners have deliberat-
ID over the matter and probably no
suspension of mining until after June
in case there should be an open rup-
IRE. The high officials of the miners
decline to make any statement at the
present The matter will probably be
submitted to the locals or TO a dele
gate convention.
Some operators may evade the oper-
1tion of the law by insisting on the re-
duction of powder used to less than
,wO pounds.
