A NARROW ESCAPE.
La dsIide Under Railroad Just
South of Village July 4th.

A washout and landslide occurred
about one-half mile south of Middle
bury Saturday afternoon. The fast mail
had just passed and had not gone hum
dred yards when about 100 feet of the
railroad bed pushed out 30 feet into the
river and left the railroad track sus-
pended about Is feet in midair. The
slide was first noticed by some boys who
were swimming a few yards away.
They Immediately gave the alarm and
several men with axes were got to work
chopptng away a tree that had fallen
across the track when the slide occurred.
1t was some hours before wreck trains
arrived. In the meantime sections hands
for miles north and south were fastened
to the scene and pressed into service.
Railroad ties were obtained with the
hopes of building temporary trestle
work, but this plan was abandoned and
the track for one fourth of a mile was
carried about 80 feet to one side, to safe
ty. All trains from the north and south
were delayed for several hours. Passen-
gers, mail, express and baggage were
transferred.
The wreck train with large force of
men arrived in the evening and worked
all night. Sunday morning the work
train passed over the defective track.
Two of the regular trains were held at
Rutland and Burlington. The cause of
the Landslide is mystery as the water
in the creek is very low. 1t is thought
that spring in the opposite side of the
track undermined the high embankm ent,
which to quite an extent, is composed of
quicksand.
Seventy five carloads of sand and
gravel that had been dumped into the
big hole i'll the roadbed caused by the
landslide of July A, disappeared Monday
afternoon, leaving cavity 100 feet long
and ten feet deep.
After the landslide the railroad track
was moved to one side and Mondays
sinking left only two feet of solid earth
between the new cavity and the tracks.
Traffic was delayed for about three hours
and trains are now allowed to pass by
running very carefully.
A large gang of men has been at work
endeavoring to fill in the cavity.
Hundreds of railroad ties piled near
the track have been carried away. Otter
creek at this place is usually about so
feet wide but it has been filled with de-
bris and earth until it is not more than
80 feet wide at present.

1t is with regret we announce the
death of Mr.. Frank Brown, which oc-
CURED at his home on Wednesday, July
8, at the age of rs years. Mr.. Brown
had been resident of town SO years,
and until failing health deferred him,
his familiar figure could be seen daily at
the stone shop, where he did blacksmith
ing. A man of strict business integrity
whose word was as good as his bond,
whose character was above reproach,
quiet and unassuming in manner, great
reader of good literature, with a great
love for nature, especially flowers; in
fact his place of business was often re-
ferred to as the ''stone shop with the
bouquet of flowers in the window" ."
Mr.. Browns affectionate regard for his
family and friends was very marked;
and those who have known him best
will ever cherish his memory and to his
children is extended the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the community. He leaves
three sons, Alex and Dan of Stockton
and Frank of Milton, California, and two
daughters, Mary and Jennie of town.

more than "a months at hard labor at

Hurst Makes Democratic
Votes.

From Chicago and from other parts
o. the state comes through the press
praise of the speeches delivered by
Hon. E. w. Hurst of Rock Island dur
ing the last two weeks of the cam.
paign The Harvey Independent for
instance says:
There was a big turn out at the
democratic lally in Saunders hall
Monday evening and the crowd was
evidently well pleased with Hon. FL
more w. Hurst of Rock Island. who
delivered the principal address of the
evening. Mr. Hurst is a well known
attorney and democratic politician of
Rock Island, formerly served in the
state legislature and was chairman OF
the democratic state convention when
Sam Alschuler was nominated for
governor in 1900. He is a personal
friend of William Jennings Bryan
democratic candidate for president
and certainly no ADLER man could have
been sent here to present to the PEG
rle the issues of the present campaign
from purely democratic standpoint
Suave and silver-tongued, he played
al will upon the emotions of the big
audience. Subtle irony and thinlv
yelled sarcasm were the implements

ows, first dainty gray, and gradually
very black. Mr.. Hurst is a clever
well informed gentleman and con
vincing speaker and held the individ
ual attention of the large audience
throughout his address of some length
Now and then he would pause 10 worl
in good story to clinch the point he
was making. and the result was tua

tempted, Politically Speaking,
Under Primary Law.

Hampton, ILL.,, Oct 26.-To the Peo-
pie of Rock Island County: | wish to
call your attention to the existing con-
ditionS regarding county officers NOM
mated and to the injustice of the pri-,
mary system and to the predictions
made April %. 1906-over. two years
ago-and published in the Moline Dis
patch, of the geographical shortcom-
ings likely to develop from the primary
election law. Thus We see that almost
every prediction made has come true
OF the four candidates nominated for
county Offices on the republican ticket.
three are from the city of Moline, and
still they are not satisfied, for they
have candidates Tor sheriff and county
treasurer. So strong are they getting
politically in their own estimation that
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-11-02

they openly advocate taking every
county Office to the city of Moline.
On June 30, last, during the Deere
picnic on Campbell's island, John Rose
told me personally with his own mouth
that he was in favor of taking every
Office to Moline if they could get them;
that he had every Swede vote in the
city of Moline, and the Seventh ward
of Rock Island. What do the people
OF Rock Island think regarding man
who makes such statements. Is there
a Swede IN Rock Island county who
will sanction his statement regarding
his vote? We are Americans, and no
man should run for any office on his
nationality and expect TO be elected,
for every other nationality would COM
bine against them.
Is there any well versed republican
in county politics who will presume to
say that John Rose is the choice of a
majority of the republicans of Rock
Island county for coroner? 1t is esti-
10 bring about his nomination. | am
informed that he made the statement
that the position was worth $4,000 a
year to him. No person holding the
position of undertaken in my estima
ton should hold the Office of coroner
at the same time, for there are hun
dreds of cases where it would be in
his power to favor himself in his OWL
business, and the county pay the bills
The people of Moline may succeed
this time in electing all three of Their
candidates for county offices, but
make this prediction, that those living
in Moline expecting political nomina
ton for county Office at later date
will be up against it good and hard.

severely arraign lukewarm ministers

to be believers and yet doubt and even

There is much talk nowadays con-

permits. The bible is the only source
of truth and by means of the little
consciousness of light and truth which
they have gained from part of the
