being introduced by Captain J. M.
Beardsley. More cheers went up to
the veteran from the crowd assembled
below. and although it was apparent
that his campaign had worn him con-
siderably, he spoke briefly.
This demonstration you give to

N which to arrange the details after
the election news reached Rock Island.
Bleuer's band played patriotic airs in
the line of march and at the stand and

There was one error in the parade:

CITIZENS TO MEET TO
DISCUSS TELEPHONES
Rock Island Retail Merchants Issue
Call for Conference at Turner
Hall This Evening.

Tonight at Turner hall will be the
meeting called by the Rock Island Re
tail Merchants association for the pur-
pose of discussing the telephone stu
alton as it pertains to the Central
Union Telephone company. Speakers
will be present who will present the
matter in detail, and the principal ques-
ton to decide is as to whether or not
the taxpayers desire to push the litiga-
ton to the courts of last resort and
stand the costs of the same in case
they lose, or whether they deem it
wiser to enter into compromise ord
nance with the company.

Your watch in the hands OF
the repairer is as clay in the
hands of sculptor.
The result depends entirely on
the art of the man. The man OF
mediocre talent produces me-
diocrity, and the master creates
a masterpiece.
The first is commonplace -
thousands are producing the
same things; the other is I'M
common - extraordinary - won-
derful! But its limitations -
though they may be fiatteries-
are never accepted for the orr
einaI, genuine art.
You never chance it at ingalls,
there is always something to
put our work above your expec-
tations rather than have it fall
short.

envy, Tor 1t was well ehtrencneu.
Got Country Vote.
Former Mayor McConochie was call
ed upon to tell how it was done, but
like Colonel Buck, he had just come
out of a three days engagement, and
spoke only few words. He said that
they had allies in counties all over the
state. The delegates from Chicago,
Peoria, and other large eenters were
against them, but the farmers ano
country members were in the fight fol-
Mr.. Buck. The opponents tried to tel
the Rock Island delegation that it was
all over, that it had been fixed up in
Chicago, but they refused to stand by
the will of the bosses, and by staying
in the fight won the glorious victory
Mayor McCaskrin.
Upon closing his remarks, William
McConochie called upon Mayor Nc
Caskrin to address the gathering from
the standpoint of the city that had
been honored. Mr.. McCaskrin said that
when the old soldiers honored E. II
Buck, the private, they rekindled the
fires of patriotism and principles of the
republic of 1861 to 1865. He recogniz
ed in the work of the Woman's Relief
Corps a labor that figured in the cleo
ton of Mr. Buck. He emphasized the
fact that the man who had been elected
was a private in the civil war and that
the old soldiers might be proud of this
event as it goes down in history
After the Battle.
George Buck of Geneseo is given
credit for showing the great Galesburg
gathering the spirit of the Buck cam
paign. When William McConochie was
making the nominating speech, some OF
the opponents supporters began call
ing Time" You did not call time
ON the others, and you are not going to
call any on u.s." shouted Mr. Buck to
his comrades. and they came back with
an enthusiastic endorsement of the
Henry county mans sentiments, the
nominating speech going on. George
Buck is not a relative of the new com
mander. but was interested as a neigh
Dor and comrade. 1t was Mr.. McCon-
ochie's pharse, stand by the private"
that caught the convention.
John Rinck, who. as member OF
the Sons of Veterans. had taken up the
work on behalf of Mr. Buck in this
campaign and followed it through to
the finish, is entitled to much of the
credit for the effective campaigning
that was done.
Another feature of the campaign for
which Colonel Buck expresses himself
as deeply grateful is the treatment he
received throughout the state at the
hands of the press. The Chicago pa
pers gave him only opposition from
the opening of the campaign to the
election, which indicates the power of
the country press when exerted. His
candidacy was taken up with the down
state papers through the Tri-City Press
club. and it is equally grateful for the
service rendered at its request.
The demonstration was noble one

City Schools Reopen.

+ The following teachers have been
secured by the board of education
for the remainder of the year: Miss
Clara F. Helliwell will assist in the
high School. Miss Jessie Houk will
teach the room vacated by Miss
Reid, and Miss Julia Mahoney will
take charge of the room which Miss
Stevens taught during the tall term.
The schools opened Wednesday,
with an increased enrolment in all
the buildings. The teachers we're
all present in their places on the
opening day, and all report very
pleasant vacation spent at their re-
spective homes. :. Several of the
teachers were in attendance at the
Minnesota Educational Association
meetings held in St. Paul last week.
The term just opened bids fair to
be the best in the history of the
schools. Parents are asked to see
that all the children of school age
are kept in school to the end of the
year. There is nothing better than
a good education that parents can
give their children. Every day the
boy spends in school at good, hon.
est, effective study will be worth
many dollars to him as future as
set. Keep the children in school.

While the failure of former cor

may have caused some-to consider
the idea an inpracticable one it is
evident that others. hold a different

their opinion by a practicable test.
F. B: Myers, cashier of the State

Wednesday was granted franchise
for right-of-way over the county
roads, the document being in the
name of the Mesaba Range Traction
Co., of which Mr.. Myers is named
as president.
Mr.. Myers states that preliminary
surveys have already been made,
and that negotiations have been
opened for equipping the proposed
line with gasoline motors~cars. It
is the intention of the promoters to
have everything id shape for active
work in the early spring and push
the line to completion as rapidly as
possible. -:
The proposition should certainly
be paying one, the ira vel between
