SEIZED NEEDED CAR OF COAL
People Of Bushnell Take Fuel Which
the Company Had Appropriated.

Bushnell, Ill, March 21.-Residents
of Bushnell. headed by Mayor J. E.
Harris, took car load of coal that
was standing on a side track of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
in this city, and, dividing it, took it to
their homes.
For the last two weeks impossible
roads have prevented the delivery of
coal in the city from the country coal
banks. Fear of a strike has caused the
railroad company TO confiscate coal in
tended for local dealers and the result
is that many persons here are out of
fuel and are unable to keep warm.
Monday men became desperate. On
a switch in the center of the town
stood a half-doxen cars of the rail
road company's coal. The mayor was
appealed to, wagons and drays were
obtained, and, when the agent of the
railroad appeared, he found car of
coal disappearing as fast as a half-doz-
en- stout teamsters could shovel it off.

MILAN TOWN HALL TOMORROW
Hear State Highway Engineer johnson
FELL How to Use King
Drag.

ROCK Island business men sbouId he
Wen represented at the good roads
meeting to be held at the town hall in
milan tomorrow afternoon at 1870 I'M
der the auspices of the officials of that
village and the highway commission
ers OF Black Hawk township. A. N.
johnson, engineer to the state highway
commission, will tell how to make
good roads and keep them good with
out taxation and if conditions permit
there will be a demonstration in the
use of the King split log drag.
the particular interest that this city
mas in good roads in the territory to
ana beyond Milan in all directions is
apparent to all. Rock Islands avenue
OF trade with the country is narrow
and the city's highest welfare demands
that 1t be well constructed and kent in
repair. Rock Island business men are
almost equally interested with those
who use the roads and it behooves
them to lend not only their moral
put their active support to any project
that tends to the betterment of the
highways of the lower end of the
county. John w. Parker having taken
the initial step in this direction he
should receive united backing in
spreading the propaganda and in put
ling it into effect. That the people of
Milan and those living in the country
for miles around are awake to the sit
uatlon is growing more and more ap-
parent. They are ready TO join the
great road drag movement that is
sweeping over the middle western
states.
Work of National Association.
Illinois good roads advocates will
have the active support and advice of
the newly appointed state highway
commission and the latter will work in
harmony with the National Good
Roads association. This larger organ
ization is accomplishing much One
of the great schemes it has fathered is
the repair and rebuilding of the ma
tional road across Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Ohio and Indi-
ana.
That memorable road was intended
to be one of the highways between the
east and west before railroads were
known. 1t was built at great expense.
costing the federal government over
| S7,00O,000, and during the early days
was a famous highway over which
thousands travelled every week When
railroads came into existence the ma
tional road was neglected. and today
it is only a skeleton of what it once
was
1t is proposed to rebuild it, and the
National Good Roads association has
undertaken to have it done by the gov.
eminent. The length of the road is
about 700 miles, and it can be rebuilt
for less than s7O0O,OOO. That is about
the cost of one good battleship. The
appropriation of that sum to make this
old road across five states would do as
much good as the average battleship,
for not one such ship in ten will ever
get in a fight Then, when the old
road has been put in good shape to the
Mississippi river. it may be that the
price of about three other battleships
will be set aside to build the road to
the Pacific coast.

Highly Entertaining Lecture De-

FAITH IN THE ANGL0-SAX0N
Deals With Future RuIership of the
Wor;d-Last Number on the Au-
gustana Lyceum Course.

THE Anglo-SaXon and the Future
RuIership of the World was the sub
ject of lecture, quite out of the or
binary, delivered by DIR. John Merritte
Driver of the Peoples church. Chicago
at the auditorium of Augustana col
| Iege last evening TO a very large and
thoroughly interested audience. DIR.
Driver seems especially adapted for
this line of work, possessing all the es-
sentials of oratory, learning, logic, hu-
NOR. originality, splendid physique,
and power, together with the close
study of the history of all lands in all
ages, which makes him especially fitted
to deal with a subject such as he chose,
which deals with the destiny of the
human race. DIR. Driver told of the
ever onward march of the Anglo-SaXon
and the characteristics which have
made him world power.
Never to Haul Down.
Democracy" he said, lis an expert
mcnt No democracy has ever had a
successful colonial government, and 1t
is for the American nation TO solve
the problem" Continuing. he said that
of all nations. with his hopes, desires,
lodgings, sufferings for the sake of
others, has carried the flag to foreign
lands. and there planted it, assuring
glory and liberty. and he said: Some
how | have the deep conviction that
the American people will never haul
down old Glory from one foot of ter
ritory on which it has been placed.
The American people will not only not
relinquiSh one foot of ground, but shall
enlarge their possessions to cover the
whole earth
Union Jack and stars and stripes.
DR. Driver said he wished to impress
three facts on his hearers, namely.
that il is the conviction of the far east
that its present form of government
cannot long exist. and they believe
that the United States will dominate
the destiny of it and all the peoples OF
the east will rejoice in it; that sturdy,
solid England has the conviction that
changes are inevitable, but that Eng
land will do the work; that America
has the conviction that it will domin-
ate the far east. but does not want
these possessions but that Providence
has overruled and put the possessions
already acquired into its hands, and
viii continue to do SO. The result must
be that England will push its efforts
eastward and America will push west
ward. and the two powers will join in
collation. in the far east. Deliverance
shall come from the Anglo-Saxon and
cosnate races when on one side shall
be planted "Old Glory" the banner of
the United States-the cluster of stars
and on the other side the Union Jack,
