IN THE SUBURBS.
ILLINOIS CITY

Many of the residents of the town
were Muscatine callers Saturday.
Mr. Sheppard was a Moline business
caller last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Bunker of Moline,
are spending the Christmas vacation
with the latter's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Morrow.
Mrs. Earl Ellsworth of Moline, is Wis
iting her parents, Mr--and Mrs. Tho
mas Martin Jr.
George Morehead and Charles Sc
dams of Nebraska, are visiting friends
and relatives here.
While crossing the high bridge at
Muscatine the Argus correspondent
observed with surprise the jubilant
smile upon the generally sad counte-
nance of the president of the bridge
company, Mr. Lillabridge Upon be-
ing asked the cause of his JOY, the
worthy president explained that dur
ing the past 10 days there had been an
average of 100 teams per day, each
carrying at least two passengers. Is it
because he desires to see the jolly
farmers of Illinois enjoying a Christ
mas shopping tour that he wears this
smiling mask? Not much, good peo-
pie. His reason for this: Each of
those teams represents 60 cents,
which means $50 per day or 5000 for 10
days all cash. Experience teaches us
that this is oppressive, that this great
expense forced upon good, industrious
Rock Island county citizens is unjust.
These same citizens spend thousands
of dollars in Muscatine that Rock Is
land merchants should and would reap
if we had some means of transporta-
ton. If the business men of this
county seat would explore this fertile
part of the county, which they call the
foothills, they would find TO their sur
prise that it is teeming over with all
kinds of produce that Rock Island
needs to feed her thousands of Iaborer-
ers. We are obliged to cart our pro-
duce, which they are entitled to. to
another state to market Give us a
steam or an electric road. Give us
some means of transportation to Rock
Island

HADN'T AUTHORITY
Attorney General Stead Renders
Opinion as to Fees Charged
by Treasurer Lyons
IN ADDITION TO SALARY
No Right to Collect as Supervisor of
Assessment Unless Money Had
Been Appropriated.

According to press dispatches re
ceived today from Springfield, Attor-
ney General Stead has sent an opinion
on the case of County Treasurer Ly-
ons' credit of $3,416 ON his books, in
which the attorney general holds that
the county treasurer had no right to
collect compensation as supervisor of
assessments unless the money had al
ready been appropriated for that pur-
pose. II will be remembered that in
checking Mr. Lyons accounts, the
finance committee or the board of SUI
pervisors found that he had credited
himself with $1,000 a year as supervis-
or of assessments, in addition to his
salary of s1.700 as, county treasurer
The committee refused to check the
books as o. X, and reported to the
board, which then instructed the states
attorney to secure an opinion from the
attorney general.
Means of Collection Questioned.
Until the opinion of the attorney
general is received, the views of de-
tail of Mr.. Stead as to the legality of
Mr.. Lyons charges will not be known.
The finance committee was of the
opinion that Mr.. Lyons was in the
wrong both in the claim itself, and in
the manner in which he collected the
amount.

NEED NOT PROVE VIOLATION
important Decision Against Franklin
Union in Injunction Case.

Chicago, Dec. ~ The Franklin
union yesterday lost its famous four
years fight in the courts. Four of its
members, including the president and
secretary. will be obliged to go to Jail
for periods ranging from so days to sig
months, under notable decision hand
ed down by the supreme court of Hi
nois. The two officials of the union
also must pay fines.
Beyond sustaining the sentences i'm
posed by the lower courts, the interpre-
tation placed on the injunction law in
labor contempt cases by the supreme
court will have, it is believed, an i'm
portant bearing on future labor dis
putes. The court held that it is not
necessary to prove a VI lation of an
injunction beyond a reasonable doubt"
as contended by the union, but that
only a ''prepcnderance of evidence"
must be submitted.

AT THE old RATES
Postmaster Mcdonald Notified to
Collect Box Rents on the
Former Schedule.
TELEGRAPHiC INSTRUCTIONS
Box Holders Who Paid New and High.
CT Charges Will Receive Rebate
of the Difference.

Notwithstanding that the general or
der was issued by Acting Postmaster
General f. H. Hitchcock Nov. 2S, pro-
viding for a uniform scale of postoffice
box rents, Postmaster H. A. ]. McDon-
aid was notified by telegraph last ev-
ening TO collect the box rents here at
the old schedule of rates, unless 9TH
erwise instructed. The new schedule
of rates would have been considera-
BILE increase here. Many of the box
holders have already paid the rent for
the box for next quarter, but Postmas-
ter Mcdonald has issued an announce
ment that if these people who have
paid at the new rate will call at the
stamp window they will be refunded
the difference between the old rate and
the one which they paid. The rents
for the next quarter will be based on
the schedule which has been in force
in the past.
The Former Order.
The opening statements of the or
der of Nov. %, which was followed by
a schedule of rates, is as follows:
BOX rent rates have been fixed here
JOIOTe upon no GSldDllSH4u OASIS, Win
the result that at certain large post
offices rates are lower than at many
small offices; that the charge for small
boxes is in many cases higher than
that which should be made for large
boxes; that rents are sometimes col
lected at the same rate for boxes of all
sizes; and that at postoffices of like
class, in the same vicinity, equipped
with similar boxes, rents are collected
at widely different rates. In order to
remedy these conditions and to provide
a definite and satisfactory rule for the
collection of box rents the following
schedule, based upon the kind and ca
pacity of boxes and the gross receipts
at postoffices. has been adopted and
will be strictly adhered to by the de-
partment in the establishment of all
box rent rates. from and after Jan. /.
