Two damage suits against the city
we're filed in the circuit clerks Office
yesterday morning as result of the
widening Of Main street last spring.
1t will be remembered that during
the early spring. the street referred to
was widened by five feet being taken
off the front of some of the lots along
that portion of Main street between
the court house and the Mississippi
Central railroad.
AS an echo to these improvements,
Mr.. F. H. Powe has field suit against
the City of Hattiesburg for $3.50
for damages. In his declaration he
endeavors to show that he has been
damaged to this extent by the taking
of strip five feet wide and no feet
long from the front of his lot, de-
stroying five live oak shade frees and
a fence. He sets the value of the
land at $1,000, says the trees were
worth $50 apiece, or a total of $500,

Prved Honesty.

To illustrate certain type of hon.
esty, District Attorney Jerome, at a
dinner in New York, told the follow.
ing story, says The Circle.
There was a man." he said, who
applied for place in dry goods

possessing, and references were de-
manded. After some hesitation he
gave the name of driver in the firms
employ. The driver, he thought,
would vouch for him.
"A clerk sought out the driver and
asked him if the applicant was hon
est.
Honest?' the driver said. Why,
his honest's been proven again and
again. To my certain knowledge he's
been arrested nine times for stealing,
and every time he was acquitted. >"

ARSENAL SHOPS
ARE ALL CLOSED
Low Head of Water, and Accident al
Moline Plant, Cause Difficulties
With Power Supply.

The low head of water, coupled with
an accident at the Peoples Power COM
pany plant at Moline, resulted in the
closing of the Rock Island arsenal
shops today. The water head was quite
low yesterday afternoon, and the gov
eminent power plant was unable to
supply sufficient power for all of the
machinery and ventilation system. The
armory polishing shop was closed in
the afternoon. A hot box on one of
the engines of the Moline plant caused
further difficulty, and it was impOssi-
bic for the power company to supply
the arsenal with the surplus power,
according to the mutual contract for
such emergencies. If repairs are made
at the Moline plant today, the shops
will be run again tomorrow, the sur
plus from the Moline plant being used
for the arsenal. The ice and snow
cause a gorge at the point where the
water power channel begins, and, cou-
pied with the naturally low stage Of
water. causes more or less difficulty ar
this time of the year.

START new PUMP
Naterworks Equipment Does
First Pumping Under 80
Pounds Pressure.
RUN THREE QUARTERS HOUR
Was Built by Snow Company and Cost,
Including Building Addition, Be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.

The new Snow pump at the water
works plant was put in operation, this
afternoon for the first time, and was
run for about 40 minutes, starting at
LIS. The pump, which has capacity
of 100000 gallons, was run under
10 pounds OF steam, with 80 pounds
water pressure The capacity test will
not be attempted until later, when the
pump is running in first class shape.
The test this afternoon proved very
satisfactory, according to Superinten-
dent ]. w. Cavanaugh. The pump sup
piled the reservoir during the time it
was in operation. 1t has been COM
plete and practically ready for use for
about two weeks, but the initial test
was delayed on account of the condi-
ton of the water.
Installed ut Big Cost.
The new pump was installed at a
cost of about $25 1000 for the machine
itself. and between $4,000 and $4,000
for the addition to the building and
new equipping which was necessary.
The installation of the pump necessi-
tated the erection of an addition to the
building at the east end. The work
of setting the pump in place has been
in progress since the last of July.

Care of the Police Officers
for Nearly Two Weeks.

Ralph and Dewitt CLANCY in Queer
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Still
Has Menagerie, Too.

For nearly two weeks the police sta
ton has been the home of two little
boys, Ralph and Dewitt CLANCY. aged
10 and . years. respectively. The lads
were taken in charge by the police
two weeks ago tomorrow, and have
been at the police station since that
time. The fact that the lads were be
ing cared for by the authorities was
mentioned at the council meeting Jan.
Z. and Mayor McCaskrin at that time
stated that he had secured a home for
the boys. and that they would be plac-
ed in a Rock Island family the next
day.
The boys are bright. Clearly little
robe has been added to to some eX-
tent by the city officials who have be
come interested in them. since they
have been at the station.
The police station IS hardly a fit
place for the boys. and Bethany Home
or some other institution would be far
more suitable, since the boys mother
is unable to care for them.
Is MennGerie Headquarters.
Not only have the duties of the po-
lice been made 10 include those of
caring for the little children, but for
months the barn at the rear of the city
hall has been the headquarters for
small menagerie, and the duties of the
officer at the station include the care
of these animals. The collection in
cludes several wolves, foxes. and two
white mice. and formerly a ground
hog was included. but this member of
the menagerie made it's escape a few
days ago. The collection is also said
to have been decreased a few months
ago by the fatal result of an encounter
between one of the wolves and a fox.
The wolf survived the combat, but
what became of the fox can not be
learned at the police station.
These animals We're brought to Rock
Island from Muscatine last fall and
since that time they have been at the
police station. Mayor McCaskrin Sc
cured the collection and had it brought
here.
