PART OF THE RIVER
BED is STILL DRY
Partly Filled-Labor Day Doings
at Watch Tower.

Saturday evening at G O'Clock the
water was turned into the river bed
in Rock river where it had been cut
off by the building of two cofferdams
one above and one below the Watch
Tower This was to have been done
Friday evening but the work went a
little slower than was expected and
il had to be put off until the following
evening. After all the water that
would run in was allowed to flow
through the old mill race it was found
that the upper part of the dry portion
was still dry as the fall in the bed OF
the stream was greater in that dis
lance than the level of the water al
the lower dam. This will make nc
difference, however, as it was princi
pally for the benefit of the Watch
Tower that the water was allowed tc
fill the place at all.
The management of the Watch
Tower has decided to hold a picnic
Labor day and to make it one
of the days of the year. There
will be plenty of music and a number
of other attractions out of the ordi
nary A ball game is being arranged
but the names of the teams have no
yet been made public.

County Judge R. w. Olmsted had a
number of dependency and delinquency

pose of. Police Matron OCOnnor of
Moline had filed petition Saturday

were incorrigible. The girls are aged
II and Is years, respectively, and since
the marriage of their mother the sec
ond time they have become uncontrol-
able Several times they nave been

clared delinquents. Mrs Effie Head,
their mother, testified at the hearing
that she could not control them, and
Judge Olmsted ordered them commit
ted to the training school for girls at
Geneva, where they will be taken to-

Several years ago the father of the
lad brought him to the home and EN-
deavored to have him taken in there

has rested entirely OH the institution

dren were taken out of the home. AT
ter two weeks the father and his sister
deserted the children. leaving them il
house on FoTty-fOurth street, without
any means. The weather was very
cold and the condition of the children
was soon known to the neighpors, who
notified the police of Moline Wher
they were questioned as to where theil
home was, they told the officer that il
was Bethany home where they belong
ed. and they were taken back there
1t is understood that a home has beer
secured for the older boy and the lit
tie girl. Leon, 7-year-old wideawak'
lad, has an ambition to be sent to
farm. and an effort is being made t.
