ALL IN GOOD TIME;
ALL PROJECTS TO COME
No Phase of the Greater Rock Island
Fund Proposition to Be Neg
IeCted

III view of the fact that the Indus
trial commission has shown its purpose
to make good at an early date, there
has been some inquiry as to the other
conditions under which the pledges to
the Greater Rock Island enterprise
were made-that of territorial eXpan-
sion. As to this accomplishment, the
commission will also devote its labors
with, it is believed, the full measure OF
cooperation and successful in due
time. The proposition is one that is
bound to possess so many mutual adj
yantages that it will be attended by the
best possible results when il is brought
up 10 the point of public discussion.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION
FOR NJ. w. A. CLERKS
Head Office Employees Are Undergoing:
Test at the Hands of the So
ciety's Regular Examiners.

BY order of Head Clerk c. w. Halves
the employees of the Woodman office
in this city are all undergoing a physi.
cal examination, and the medical de
partment has been busy for the past
few days examining the different en-
ployes. There are about one million
five hundred letters and death proofs
in the files in the Office building, and
these letters and death proofs come
from all parts of the United States.
There is no way of knowing whether
they carry germs, and the only offset
otherwise would be to have each one of
them fumigated. To save this great
expense the medical department has
been authorized to give the employees
the examination Part of the occasion
for this move is the fact that several
of the employees in the last six or eight
years have died from tuberculosis, but
of course this is no greater ratio to the
employees than i'll any other institution
OF factory. The preCautiOn is for the sole
purpose of protecting the employees.
All of the employees i'll the local office
examined so far have passed the ex-
animation If any of them should fail
to pass it. it is probable that they
would be given a vacation for time
but would not be expelled from service
entirely. All who are employed here
after must show a certificate of health

That Insult to the Flag.

The jamestown Sun. published
on the spot where the alleged out
rage" to the flag occurred, gives
the following account Of the Incl
dent. 1t is a easily different story
from that published in the other
papers:
Recent issues OF many Of the
daily papers in different parts Of the
country have commented on the in
suit to the National Flag here a
short time ago. Some OF these
papers have it that Mr.. Lancaster
cut down the flag and threw II into
the James uver. In justice to Mr..
Lancaster. we wish to state posi-
lively that he did not cut down the
flag. We believe that Mr.. Lancas-
ter has too mnch respect for our
National Emblem 70 allow It TO be
inSulted n his presence. W. A.
ChIdry. a hireling of the A. P. V.
A. is the one who cut down the flag
and threw it into inc James river.
The outrageous insultto the National
Flag was perpetrated in the presence
of Mr.. VIM. L. Leal. ST.. who is
U. s. postmaster and custodian oi
the A. P. V. A. reservation or
jamestown Island. After Chldry
had cut down the flag. he said tc
Mr., Leal: "Tn throw the flag intC
the river. so the people can see the
old thing swimming around.
