ICE MOVES IN NIGHT;
NO DAMAGE is DONE
Small Gorge at Rock Island Bridge
Ferry Robinson Up
Next Week.

At 1870 o'clock this morning the ice
in the Mississippi broke the gorge
and quietly slipped down the stream
The river is clear as far as one can
see down stream. The ice in moving
formed a gorge at the Rock Island
bridge, in the channel, and at span 5
On the Iowa side of the river, from
span 4, the bridge is clear, and the
river open.
The ice last year did not move until
March 81, and then simply moved
down stream, gorging in the bridges
1t was not until $3.50 o'clock in the
afternoon of March % that the ice
broke and ran out at this point Two
years ago the ice moved on March Z.
1t has been known to remain in the
river as late as April II.
The ice did little or no damage, but
moved quietly down the river. The
shores have been clear for several
days. the ice being at places over one
hundred feet from the bank. There
was no piling on the banks, and no
commotion in it's movement. This is
the fourth time that the river has been
cleared since it was frozen solid in
the fall.
1t is expected that the ferry Robin
son will begin the seasons business
in few days.

TO REST
Death of Mrs. Catherine Hoffman,
a Long Time Resident,
Aged 81.
HAD LIVED HERE SIS YEARS
For Over Half Century in Little
Home Where She Died-Fu-
neral of George Ross.

Mrs. Katherine Hoffman,. aged near
~ So, and resident of Rock Island for
over half century, died this morning
at $50 o'clock at her home, 404 Eigh-
teenth street. Death was due to chron-
ic Bright's disease, from which she had
been suffering for three years.
Mrs. Hoffman,, whose maiden name
was Katherine Applicants, was born
Aug. 16. 1922, at Ostofen aus Herrzo-
thumhessen, Germany. She came to
the United States in January, 1850, and
Aug. "a of that year was married in
this city to Andreas Hoffman, who
died in 1891
Mrs. Hoffman, for nearly % years
made her home in the little house
where she died. She and her husband
first occupied the building in 1852, and
both spent the remainder of their lives
under its shelter. Mrs. Hoffmann was
from early childhood a member of the
German Lutheran church, and was one
of the early members of the church in
this city
She is survived by two sons. Ed
ward and Robert, and by four grand
children, all residing in this city The
funeral services will be held Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home
The services will be conducted by Rev
c. A. Mennicke, pastor of the German
Lutheran church. 1t is requested that
flowers be omitted.

mains of George H. Ross, who was

Burial was made at Chippiannock GEM
etery.

SQUIBS ABOUT
LOCAL POLITICS

Try and fix it so that your children's
children will see someone other than
Frank Knox or William McCOnochie
mayor of Rock Island.
Perhaps Black Hawk left it in his
will that Frank Knox should be mayor
of Rock Island every alternate two
years-but won't some patriot please
burn the will!
The future is best judged by the
past Another Knox administration
means a big grist for the grand jury
each session with its attendant court
fees for trials where nobody is punish
ed and consequent heavy costs for the
taxpayers to shoulder.
1t may please a few to see the same
old crowd playing the same old game
all the time but it gives most people
a pain.
If B. Frank Knox doesn't know that
the city could struggle along few
years at least without his services,
then he ought to be given a good hard
jolt on election day to wake him up.
It's up to the intelligent voter to
decide if he wants some new blood
in municipal affairs and vote accord
ingly.
There are a great number of repub-
licans who aver that a candidate for
any office before a convention who is SO
lost to all things except his own ad-
vancement as to be willing to sacrifice
the most important office, deserves as
much to be beaten as the incompetent
head of the ticket.
The more the delegates themselves
reflect upon what the republican con-
vention did the other night in the
choice ora mayor the more they won
der what ice they cut after all.
The republican city-township CON
vention did not meet at Turner hall at
ter all, the future historian of local
events will say. 1t met at Mr.. Knox
Office the evening before. All the as
semblage at Turner hall did was TO
verify what was done the previous ey-
ening. When delegates legally elected
TO a convention to intelligently voice
their own sentiments are voted like s.
many cattle for man who does not
know any more than they do for mayor
of the city simply because that man
has made political deal that calls
for their delivery. it is not small won
der that they think the time has arriv-
ed for something beyond a protest.
