FOURTH OF ISLAND
Area Required for Government
Powder Plant That Doesn't
Come Here.
mKINNEY Is HEARD FROM
Says Decorations from Testing Expio-
sives Would Have Been Very
Unpleasant.

In letters which he has written re-
as the site for the government powder
plant, Congressman Mckinney says
Secretary Taft called upon him Mon
day and informed him no further de-
lay in the choice of site was posi-
BILE. Therefore, in view of the fact
that no sentiment had been expressed
in favor of Rock Island arsenal, SO
far as the congressman was aware,
while many had opposed having the
factory here, Mr.. Mckinney felt justi-
fed in waving all claims for this city.
Requires Fourth of Island.
Prior to that time, in conference
with General Crozier, chief of ord
nance, the congressman learned that
the powder factory, should it be loca-
ted here, would occupy at least one
fourth of the area of the island. which
would be enclosed. 1t would be diff
cult to lay out suitable proving grounds
and the detonations from the tests of
powder in heavy charges would be
rather Earring on the nerves of the
sensitive ones in the three cities. 1t
was also found that the river water
would have to be filtered before it
could be used for manufacturing pur-
poses.
Settle POStOHice Site.
Congressman Mckinney writes that
the Moline postoffice- site will be select

CAUGHT IN WHEEL
William Beehier, Whiteside Far.
mer, Met With Injuries That
Caused Death
AFTER TERRIBLE SUFFERING
CrawIed Quarter of a Mile Over Frog
en- Ground With Leg Torn Loose I
at Knee.

William Beehler a Whiteside county
farmer. aged As, died yesterday at his
home in Fenton township as a result
of one of the most terrible experiences
ever recorded in this part of the state.
Last Monday Mr. Beehler went to Nor
rison driving a team hitched to a bug
by. He returned home late at night
and when within a mile of his resi-
dence the horses became frightened
and ran away, throwing him out. In
falling his right foot caught in the
spOkeS OF the front wheel and held
fast.
The unfortunate man was dragged
along for an unknown distance pound
ing upon the frozen ground as he was
whirled over and over. Finally the
muscles and tendons at the knee joint
gave way and were soon twisted and
broken till the lower part of the limb
was nearly torn. loose. This seems to
have relieved the strain and the foot
was released.
Lay Unconscious.
Mr.. Beehler lay for time half con-
scious. bruised and battered and with
blood flowing from his many wounds.
When he recovered sufficiently he at
tempted to crawl home. The broken
leg. over which he had no power. was
dragged for almost a quarter of mile.
The distance that he covered in this
manner was marked with blood that
dropped from his nose and mouth. The
pain was unbearable. and finally eX-
hausted. he dropped into the road. His

he rent the air calling for help During

Evils of Amateur Qietinn.

Someone who has found facts On
which to base the opinion thinks that
the amateur dieting to which so many
are given just now is productive of far
more ills than it can cure. Dieting, no
doubt, nationally and with due regard
for the needs of the body, does in most
cases improve the health. But for
Smith to change his diet according to
the formula Brown found beneficial,
without help or advice from a physi-
clan, is often a means of aggravating
an already existing i'll or of bringing
on fresh ones. One mans diet may
be another mans poison is as true a
word, perhaps, as has been spoken,
and accepting it as truth in this day
of indiscriminate dieting may save
many a good man from going from
bad to worse in his attempts at self
help.-Boston Transcript.

VERY LIKE THE ICE TRUST.
Attitude of Grasping Corporation and
Thieving Waiter.

Mayor Brush, of Mount Vernon, had
been describing to a visitor the mu-
nicipal ice plant that, thanks chiefly
to his work, Mount Vernon had set up.
"Reproachful? said Mayor Brush.
Eyes, it is a fact, the ice trust is re-
preaching sorrowfully the cities that,
sick of it's extortions, have at last set
out to make their own ice.
I'm this respect the ice trust re-
minds me of a certain waaer in a
Partisan cafe.
''An American ordered at this cafe
an hors douvre, agneau pre- sale,
artichoke salad, peche Melba, and so
on, and, when the waiter brought him
a bill of 80 francs, he paid it like a
man.
after his change was brought, he
counted it, and pushed a franc toward
the waiter for tip.
But the man, pushing back the
franc, said in gentle reproach:
Pardon, monsieur, but that is the
counterfeit franc"

The CATERPILLAR.

If any schoolboy were asked to give
the derivation of caterpillar" he
would say that it had something to do
with "cat" And he would be right.
The common explanation of cater
pillar is that it is the old French
"chatepelose," which means literally
hairy cat" and is very like the Eng
lish 'piller," a plunderer, and eater
piller' was the regular spelling until
the seventeenth century. DR.. Muir
rays dictionary suggests that the
word may have come straight from
"cat" and pillar" A Lombard word
for caterpillar is "gatta" (cat), and a
Swiss word "teufelskatz" (deviPs eat),
while a "catkin" is the vegetable imi-
tatiou of the caterpillar.

TREsPAssING ON RAILROADS.

The following news item is quoted
from the Philadelphia Record;
Mount Holly, N. j., Oct. 25:TIn
the case of Joseph A. Davis, Jr., who
brought suit against the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to recover
damages for the killing of his infant
son on the Pennsylvania railroad at
Palmyra in March last, a non-suit
has been granted by Judge Lloyd I'M
der the statute which sets forth that
a trespasser who suffers injury or
death along a railroad is guilty Of
contributory negligence. This acct
dent occurred after the infant had
wandered from his parents home 10
the railroad tracks nearby"
The point we wish to make in this
is that this same Judge Lloyd, who
granted this non-suit, is the man
who, last winter, was haunting the
legislative halls at Trenton as the
special agent of the combined rail-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-10-27

road corporations in their fight +,
see that the legislature did. nothins
in injure the railroad interests
Judge Lloyd, although not a iudo
at that time, was the chief attorpo,
for the railroads and did all he could
to prevent the taxation on railroad
property being raised.
A few months later he was an.
pointed to the circuit court bench b,
Governor Stokes and now we find
him using technical points in the law
in favor of the railroad against the
parents of a child that had been
killed.
Because a little boy wandered
from his fathers door and got upon
the railroad and was killed. the faith.
er has no grievance against the rail-
road, for the little fellow should have
kept off of the track. Such is the
ruling of Judge Lloyd, the former
railroad representative.
To be sure, but what If the rail
road runs through the middle of the
street in 1.-The town at grade, and for
a child to get upon the track is no
different than a child running out
into the road in any city and getting
upon the trolley track? Such is the
case in Palmyra. The railroad tracks
run beside the road through the
place and houses face upon that road.
Technically It may be true that the
child trespassed upon the railroad,
but in reality is not the railroad
trespassing upon the rights of the
citizens of the town? Where a rail-
road runs through a place in this
name it should be compelled to
so protect it's tracks 10 that children
cannot get upon them. But this
would cost the corporations a little
money and it is easier to kill a few
children and have the parents cases
n~on-suited than it it is to give the
necessary protection.

CITY CHARTERS.

mo city in New Jersey more gpeat-
ly needs a new charter than Bridge
ton," says the Bridgeton Evening
News. "a very excellent commits
sion of representative citizens have
been requested to take up the mat
ter, and it has been suggested that
the commission present to the city
council a proposed charter at a meet
ing in January. If this is done the
city council can approve the work
of the commission and it will then
be ready to place in the hands of Ser
ator Minch the first month of the
session, giving the Cumberland rep
r%esentative ample opportunity to
make an effective campaign"
The Paterson Guardian quotes this
editorial and places over it the fol
lowing heading: Paterson Does"
Perth Amboy might readily join
in and cry, Eyes, and me, too" But
other cities are taking measures to
remedy the defect under which they
are laboring. What is Perth Am

claim to the honor of making the
giant octopus bite the dust. The
latest to come forward with this
claim is Passaic. There is no doubt
but that Passaic did give the Public
Service a hard tustle; in Orange ac-
ton has already been taken toward
securing a municipal lighting plant;
Newark is agitating the same idea
and here in Perth Amboy we have
the Independent lighting company
about to go into business, There
are others, too; in fact so numerous
have such instances become that,
taken altogether, they have given the
big Newark monopoly a scare and the
wholesale reduction in prices is an
nounced. OF course, this is to kill
off much of the municipal ownership
agitation as possible, but it should
not be dropped entirely for the mo-
ment the Public Service knows that
it has the field to itself again it will
doubtless make the public pay for
the coming reduction.
1t is safe to say Perth Amboy will
continue to have competition for
some time to come and this will aid
the other cities. There is little doubt
