STRONG TICKET IN
SOUTH ROCK ISLAND
Democratic Township Nominees Seem
Certain to Win Out To-
morrow.

The South Rock Island democrats
have one of the strongest tickets il
the pending election that they have
ever had. and should command the
confidence of the people of the town
ship tomorrow.
John Graham, Jr, the candidate for
town clerk, was born and raised in the
township and is competent to fulfill
the duties acceptably.
Andrew Paulson, the candidate for
collector, son of Hans Paulson, was
likewise raised in South Rock Island
and is in every way qualified for the
office.
William Kurth the nominee for as
SCISSOR, is carpenter and contractor
and has the advantage of thorough IA
miliarity with property values
William Heidermann, the candidate
for highway commissioner, is one of
the most substantial citizens and tax
payers of the township where he has
grown to manhood and is the right
man for the office.
The entire ticket ought to be elected
without exception.

COAL MINERS OUT
About Eight Hundred Leave
Mines in Rock Island and
Mercer Counties.
NO BITTERNESS EXISTING
Rock Island Begins ReIoadine Product
Stored Here to Distribute Among
Other Points.

With the general coal strike going
INTO effect today, between 700 and 500
coal miners in Rock Island and Mer-
Ger counties have left the mines. The
situation, though giving promise of a
long and hard struggle, is not charac-
| terized by the bitterness that has been
| experienced in other coal strikes, and
this fact is commented on with salts
| faction by both sides The mine pre-
SCENTS much the appearance it would i'll
case of holiday shutdown, and the
most friendly feeling exists.
Contrast il Noted.
Robert Lee. the superintendent of
the Coal Valley Mining company, who
attended the conference at Indianapo-
lis, says that this disposition on the
part of both sides was in marked con-
trast to other occasions when confer
ences were held, both then showing
bitter enmity and hatred The only
bitter feeling existing is that of the
western operators toward f. l.. Rob
bins. for his action at the conference
at Indianapolis. Mr. Lee will attend
the operators meeting in Chicago to-
morrow.
Railroads Remove Coal.
With the exception of the small
quantity of coal left on the tracks at
the mine last week, and delayed, no
coal was received in Rock Island to-
day. The Rock Island to-day began
reloading the coal it has stored for
weeks along its tracks in the west end
of the city and near Silvis, preparatory
to transferring it to points where
needed The railroads have been stor-
ing coal at every available point, and
will feel no shortage for many weeks.
1t is expected that as a result of
closing the mines one of the Rock Is
lands trains on the Mercer county
branch will be discontinued for the
present. The train to be taken off ar
rives from Cable late in the afternoon
and leaves at 6: 10 i'll the morning.
May Need Militia.
The local members of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard are watching the coa.|
strike situation with more than pass
ing interest. Should the strike con
tinue and the government take charge
of the coal mines it is certain that the
national guard will be called out and
that Illinois will be more seriously at
fected than any state in the west, and
Company A would be apt to see action.

 There is, by the way, another type of up-to-date thief who, while he does not make a special practice of steal ing motor cars, finds the latest mode of conveyance exceedingly useful in the carrying out of his nefarious plots. That is not to say the modern thief prowls about the country in his own automobile. But if he can obtain the loan of one, with or without the ow- ner's permission, he much prefers it to railway carriage, which may reached at every station by the police.

To Meet the Kansas.

Governor Hoch has written to Sen
ator Long in Washington requesting
him to get the members of the Kan
sas delegation together and make a
formal call on President Roosevelt,
asking him to order the battleship
Kansas to Galveston, where the silver
service purchased for the battleship
by the state can be presented. A let
ter was also sent to the secretary of
the navy formally notifying him that
Kansas would present a silver service
to the vessel and asking him to use
his influence with the president in
having the battleship sent to Calves
ton.
According to information from ad-
miral Capps, the Kansas will not be
completed and ready for service in
less than four or five months. He says
it will take that ZENITH of time to
man it and get everything in ship
shape. 1t is expected by state officials
that President Roosevelt will not
hesitate to accede to the wishes of
Governor Hoch in this matter and
that the Kansas will be sent to Gal
weston some time in March for the
benefit.of the citizens of the state for
which she was named.
The silver service to be presented
by the state has been ready for pre-
sentation for some time. 1t was furn-
ished by a Wichita jeweler and is said
to be equal to the service on most of
the battleshIps. 1t is Governor Hoeh's
Dian to have a delegation of Kansans
go to Galveston to atteud she presen-
tatioD ceremonies. He will appoint
delegates, and it is expected that
many others who are DESTROYS of see-
ing she great battleship will add to
the delegation. The occasion will be
made a big holiday.
Governor Hoeh's idea in asking that
the ship be sent to Galveston is to get
it as near to Kansas as possible. Gal
weston is the nearest deep water point
and is easy to reach from Kansas. If
a sufficient number of KansanS express
their intention of attending the pre-
sentation ceremonies Ii is probable
that special train will be run TO Gal
weston, earring the Kansas delegation
and the silver service.-Kansas City

1t has been demonstrated by Prof.

that if you use yellow paint you cheat
the optician. 1t makes more light
and softer, more mellow light in a
dark room than white does. Oil
paint seems TO absorb light-black, of
course, more than any other. White
