HAS NOT THE BEE.

It is reported that Uncle Joe
Cannon in a recent interview re-
garding his presidential aspera-
tons was somewhat coy when
approached as to the possibility
of his candidacy. He would not
say "yes," but ON the other hand,
could not refuse the nomination,
were it handed to him on a silver
platter. The interview, which
is quoted by the Alexandria Bay
correspondent of the Washing.
ton Herald, is as follows:

CELEBRATION STATISTICS

CELEBRATION STATISTICS.
The Journal of the American
Medical association reports some
interesting data of the "jolly
celebration of last Independ-
ence Day. One hundred and six
ty-four persons We're killed and
4.249 injured. many Of these be-
ing manned for life.
Besides the deaths due to te-
tanus sixty-two in all, there were
twenty persons who lost their
lives from gunshot wounds;
giant crackers caused thirteen,
and thirteen deaths were due to
explosions Of powder, torpedoes
and dynamite. Ten deaths were
due to falls or runaways caused
by fire crackers. One person was
drowned because a practlcal
JOKER threw giant cracker in
to boat crowded with young
people. The extremity of toler-
ance is reached, however, when
we know that thirty-one persons
were burned to death, the major
ity of these being young girls
and children whose dresses SO
easily catch fire. Of the injured,
twelve persons were completely
blinded, seventy-fve lost l eye,
ffty-seven lost an arm or hand
and 237 persons lost one or more
fingers, and so forth.

a success, SO that my party will
deserve and win success in 1908,

Congress must act wisely at

ism; if it makes great mistakes
and fails to meet the approval of
the reasoning American public,
there will not be much need for
the election of delegates to the
next national convention. of the
republican party.
"The great masses are not
talking politics now" continued
the speaker. "They are busy.
Their ambition is to see that
nothing is done to make them
idle. This country is very pros
porous. It would be a crime if
congress should do anything at
this time to upset business and it
might make mistakes in half a
dozen ways"

AN ERROR WHICH WE ARE
PLEASED TO CORRECT.

The Inter-Ocean was misled,
as were many other state papers,
by the report that the Board of
Equalization which met at Bis
marck voted unanimously to
leave the railroad assessment
the same as previous years. The
vote was not unanimous. The
facts are as follows:
When the Board of Equaliza-
ton met, the railroad attorneys
appeared before the Board and
consumed one whole afternoon.
When they got through with
their arguments Gov. Burke sug-
gested that as the Board woulc
be in session for a week or more,
and as the question of railroad
assessment was one Of great i'm
portance, that they should take
all the time and seek all the in
formation possible in order to d.
it justice.
On the following Afternoon
tn ere was no one present but tn
members of the Board. Gov
Burke stood for raising the as
sessment. One of the othe
members made a motion to leav
the assessment the same as i
was last year, which motion wa
seconded. AS was his duty a
chairman, Gov. Burke put tn
motion, and all members vote
AYE Of course, as chairman
he then called it carried.
The Inter Ocean desires I
publish nothing but the trutl
and when erring, is glad to re,
tify. In this case, how ever,
was misled by what it suppose
was a news report" of the .wo1
of the Board Of Equalization.

FEVER PATIENTS
Reports of Scourge in Moline Circu.
lated Here Are Somewhat
Exaggerated.

Reports that have become current in
Rock Island that there is a scOurge OF
contagious diseases in Moline are eX-
aggerated. The fact is that scarlet
fever has prevailed and is still in evi-
dence to a somewhat unusual degree
and there is some diphtheria. The re-
port of Health Commissioner r. J. c.
Meyers shows that there are 6S cases
of scarlet fever and of diphtheria in
Moline now. The health department
is active in the fumigation of infected
houses. in enforcing quarantine and
generally making the city more health
full. While scarlet fever made some
gain during the month of December
diphtheria was largely overcome.
In Rock Island there has been till
recently little of either disease. though
a few cases have developed within the
last few days. the infection, especially
in the case of scarlet fever, apparently
coming from Moline.

NOT IN APT TIME
Judge Gest Sustained Demurrer
to Amended Bill for Injunc-
ton Against the City.
OVER THE INDEBTEDNESS
Held That Compliments, Matthias
Schne!l and Henry Tappendorf,
Delayed Action Too Long.

The bill for an injunction against
the city of Rock Island brought by
Henry Tappendorf and Matthias Schnell
was ended this morning at far as the
w. II. Gest sustained the demurrer to
the amended bill Judge Gest, in pass
ing on the demurrer made very brief
oral ruling, in which he held that the
bill had not been brought in apt time.
Judge Gest declined to pass on the 9TH
er points involved in the case. The
ruling of the court on this point leaves
further litigation to the supreme court
The supreme court may also be called
upon to decide the other points of law
involved in the suit.
Above Constitutional Limit.
The bill for an injunction was
brought to restrain the city from en-
tering into any further contracts, and
for writ to compel holders of water
works certificates and bonds of the
city to repay to the city all payments
made on this Indebtedness, on the
grounds that the citys Indebtedness
exceeds the constitutional limit and
that for this reason all Indebtedness
contracted since the limit was exceeded
is void.
First Demurrer Sustained.
The demurrer to the original bill was
sustained by Judge Gest on technical
grounds, and leave granted to amend
the bill. 1t was a demurrer to the bill
as amended which Judge Gest sustain
ed this morning. Arguments on the
demurrer were made at the last term
of court, H. A. Weld and J. L. Haas
representing the compliments, and
