Chicago-Intends to Make
Good the Shortage.

Addison Flynn, the . Silvis black
smith and treasurer of the black
smiths union, who left a note to his
wife Sunday saying that his body
would be found at the bottom of the
river on account of his being short
5000 to the blacksmith's union, reap
peared this morning. He had been
on a visit to Chicago. He appeared
very penitent over the shortage and
emphasized his intention to make
good the amount He stated that he
had recklessly sqandered the sum
entrusted to his care. He has APP
piled for his old position at Silvis and
there is a sentiment among his fellow
employees to aid him by raising a
Subscription, as he appears earnest in
his intentions to reimburse the union.

SALOONSlOSE OUT
Judge BoIlineer. Rules That
Past Agreements Do Not Re-
move Responsibility
IN DAVENPORT INJUNCTION
Breweries Instruct Agents to Live Up
to the Letter of the Mulct Law
Hereafter.

The Davenport Civic Federation won
an important victory yesterday in the
injunction cases against u number OF
saloons alleged to have violated the
mulct law which are being heard by
Judge Bollinger. The defendants
raised the point that the objections to
the chairs, tables and rear doors had
been waived i'll the agreement with
T. II. Kemmerer at the time the en-
forcement of the law was started, and
that with the understanding that the
abolition of these features would not
be insisted upon, the saloon keepers
had filed the mulct bonds as the law
requires. Judge Bollinger, however
ruled that no side arrangements could
be taken cOgni2ance of by the court
and that his course in issuing or deny
ing the injunctiOns prayed for must be
determined alone by the letter of the
law and the evidence as to its viola
ton or compliance.
Ordered to Obey Mulrt Law.
Practically all the brewing interests
doing business in Davenport have in
structed their agents in charge of Sd
looms to obey the mulct Jaw to the
letter from this time on. 1t is under
stood the same policy is to be Observ
ed over the state, wherever the law is
not fully lived up to. This, it is figur
ed, will go IA long way toward ending
the agitation which, if continued, may
land the state in the dry column once
more

up against doors that opened only
inward and one of them locked, strug-
eled to fight their way to safety.
All of the victims were between
the ages of and 10 years. The
school contained between 80 and 325
pupils. and of this entire number only
about 80 are known to have left the
building unhurt.
Children Packed in Hall.
The school house was of brick, two
stories and an attic in height. The
number of pupils was more than nor
mally large and the smaller children
had been placed in the upper part OF
the building.
There was but one fire escape and
that was in the rear of the building
There were two stairways, one lead
ing to a door in front, and the other
10 a door in the rear. Both OF these
doors opened inward. and it is claim
cd the rear door was locked as well
When the flames were discovered
the teachers, who throughout seem Il
have acted with courage and self
possession. and to have struggled
heroically for the safety of thei
pupils, marshaled the little ones int
column for the fire drill" whicl
they had often practiced.
Led Wrong Way.
Unfortunately the line of march il
this exercise had always led to tn,
front door and the children had no
been trained to seek any other exit
The fire yesterday came from a fun
mace situated directly under this par
Of the building.
When the children reached the foo
or the stairs they found the flame
close upon them. and so swift a rusl
was made for the door that in an in
slant a tightly packed mass of Chi
dren was piled up against it.

The only known race of hairy human
beings reside on the island of YezZo
adjoining Japan. They are about
100000 in number and are known to
the Japanese as the "Mosinos' or ''all
hairy people" They have the entire
body covered with profuse. and re-

ception being that the faces of the
women are bare, but usually stained
with kind of juice so as to resemble
the boards of the males.

March 1.-The intersociety debate took
place Saturday night in the college
chapel, and proved very interesting
occasion. The champions of each So
ciety entered into the discussion with
much vigor and both sides maintained
their respective positions with deter
animation. The question was: "Resolv-
ed, That United States Senator's be
elected by direct vote of the people"
the Union Society maintaining the af-
firmative and the Philanthropic the
negative. That the question is an open
one was clearly shown, and though the
decision went TO the representatives of
the Union. that does not mean that
their competitors did not give a good
account of themselves. The speakers
were: From the Union, 7. K. Young
and r. Brooke Price; from the Philan-
thropic, W. Dixon Foster and r. Lee

1lers twice out of the three last times
