This letter, and its plea for further
enlightenment on the unhappy Incl
dent, moved the Astorian to get into
immediate communication with Cap
tain Connick, OF the Ocean Park sta
tion, and he was called on long
distance telephone yesterday after
noon, and closely questioned regard
ing the personality Of the unfortunate
man whom he and his men found and
buried, and who is believed to have
been Frank Sullivan.
In describing the body, Captain
Connick stated clearly and distinctly
that he was wcll-knit, stout bodied,
young man, Of about Is years, with
light brown hair, eyes Of blue Che

TOOK GLIMPSE AT THE
OLD COUNTY JAIL
SOME OF THE COUNTY BUILD
INGS WERE LOOKED OVER
BY THE GRAND JURY.

The members Of the grand jury ha
comparatively free day yesterday
because of the fact that the prosecut
ing attorneys Office was engaged il
the circuit court with criminal tria
and they spent the day variously
They looked over some of the publ,
buildings, including the county jai
and the court house, and some citi
zens may be hopeful enough to thinl
they may report that the county
Jail is old and dilapidated and ought
to be replaced by new one on some
other site.
1t is also said the jury looked over
number of saloons in several parts
OF the city, apparently seeing just
what the characters of the places are.
Judging from the witnesses who
have appeared before the jury it may
be true that it is looked into the
question of the Sunday closing law
and other alleged violations with
some care.
But entirely irrespective of the ac-
ton Of the grand jury, it is known
that the prosecuting attorney, Mr..
Tongue, is preparing plans for the en-
forcement Of laws that heretofore
have not been enforced as they
should be. Mr.. Tongue talks freely
OF this matter and he has stated that
if the laws are not strictly enforced
IN this community it will not be from
lack of proper activity and zeal on
the part of that Office. If Mr..
Tongue is enabled to make good his
desires in this matter there probably
will be shaking up of things in gen
eral and cessation of the game of
shuttlecock that has been going on
for quite time between several de-
partments
Meantime the presence OF the grand
jury has been observed with much in
terest by many citizens and there
seems to be general feeling that
the calling OF this body, as provided
by the new law, is good thing.
There also seems to be an impression
hat this jury is composed of worthy |
md intelligent citizens, and that if I
here is anything they can take up
md deliberate upon that they surely
will do so, though as far as is known,
here does not seem to be a very wide
ield of activity for their energies just
low.

The Mileage Graft.

For years the United States has been
paying members of congress 20 cents
a mile for travelling expenses, or mile
age" as it is called. This is far in
luxurious style-it is more than three
times the cost For example, 20 cents
q mile from Springfield to Chicago by
the nearest route would be $3.50; be-
tween this city and Washington about
$3.50. The expense from Springfield
to Chicago would be called extrava-
giant at SO. Then, why should the
government pay mileage at 20 cents
mile? At the present cost of travel
it is a species of graft and should be
put stop to. 1t is a survival of the
times when travel in the United States
was slow and therefore more expen-
sive per mile.
A bill has been introduced in con-
gress by Representative Crumpacker
to reduce the mileage to members of
congress from 30 cents to cents. 1t
should be amended so as to apply to
all government officers who are al
lowed eXtravagant mileage, if any such
there are. The proposed allowance of
8 cents will cover all necessary charges
and leave a handsome profit Indeed,
| it might be reduced by % per cent and
then be enough to furnish comfortable
travel for our statesmen.
Congressman have known for years
that this mileage allowance is eX-
cessive, but have been taking it right
along without the CULVER of an eyelash.

She Hrgus Daily Short Story
AS 1t Happened. BY Troy Allison.
(Copyright. 1905 by c. II. SntcIife.l

ChestertOn, first honor man, captain
of the football! team and all around IA
vorite. walked down the elm avenue
leading to The college, lost in medita-
ton. He never even chose the best
spots on the slippery, sleety path. ana
beyond rubbing his ears and nose Oc-
casiOnally in the most absentminde1
way he seemed not to know that the
winter was getting in its very worst
blizzard.
He kicked piece of ice out of his
faadll viciously. all the fervor of his
heart concentrating itself in the wish
that it could have been Johnson of the
junior class who had INSTRUCTED his
path in the same manner The mere
thought of it caused him to walk ont
of his way to find another larger and
mora kickable obstacle.
The night before ut the senior prom
Esther Dillon had danced six times
with the insufferable Johnson and
had steadfastly pleaded Il full card
every time ChestertOn approached her.
CheSterton didn't know what was the
matter. Her GOODNESS had been first
perceptible on Christmas day, and the
thermometer had dropped steadily un-
til it had. he realized. reached absolute
freezing point In his steadily grow
ing desire to see the image of Johnson

overreached himself and sat down on
the ground with a badly sprained an

worthy of the cooperation of every
citizen who believes in high morals,
good order and the best type of citi-
ship. 1t is the means to the end that
is at stake, and this can only be real
lied by calm, impassionate and I'M
prejudicial consideration of the sub
ject in all its manifest phases, on the
Part of the elector.
But TO the initiatory proposition
that good will come of the agitation
now existing should the prohibitory
proposition fail. That good will re-
suit cannot be disputed or doubted.
That the liquor INTERESTS, both as it
applies to the manufacture and sale,
will see to it themselves that there is a
better regulation seems reasonable to
suppose. That they will be forced to
do it without evasion or delay is
equally certain.
That they should be required to sub
scribe to the requirements of order
and decency, and that every reliable
agency that looks to the peoples
highest welfare should and will be
enlisted to the attainment of that end
is not a debatable question.

you don't mind I'll put my hand on
your shoulder to steady myself, and |
think l can manage some kind of n
hating gait
The girl in her sympathy forgot the
grievance she had against him, and
with every limping step Chesterton
grew more firmly convinced that being
a cripple for life might have its com
penSations.
what made you do it, he asked
abrupt. The shoulder he was lean
ing on twitched violently.

feminine ignorance.
Freeze me. ignore me, cut me, slight
me- neglect me-

the library you might consult the die
tionary and find a few more transitivc

amusement
ChestertOn heard the note of laughter
and came down on his lame foot with
so buoyant step that he grimaced
with pain.
"Why did you do it, Esther?' he ask
ed pleadingly.
"Why didn't you even thank me the
tinieSt little bit for the Christmas pres
ent sent you?" she faltered.
Chesterton stopped and, balancing on
one foot, faced her in unfeigned aston
ishment.

Real Good Will Come.

Out of every reform movement
some good must come. However rad
ical the crusade a better condition is
certain to follow in its wake. The
endeavor at the present time TO fasten
upon Rock Island a strictly prohibit
tive system of dealing with the liquor
traffic, even though it should fail be-
cause of the rare extremity to which
1t goes, in the abridgement of the per
sonal prerogative of the individual
must of necessity bring a greater
boom than even its temporary success
could accomplish.
While the twin proposition linked
az local option" and "anti-saloon ter
ritory" has in many instances been
misleading, hence misunderstood, in
telligent deliberation resulting in COM
plete comprehension of it's scope
and significance will surely bring
about a steadying of the pendulum.
The desire for efficacious remedy as
the only means to permanent
cure is all-pervading. No drastic
treatment can be otherwise than re-
dictionary. Absolute humiliation, far
sweeping though it may be and which
carries with it the intent 10 control
the human inclination. and which at
best is but a temporary experiment
is to the conservative mind, eventually
but the opening of avenues to greater
and more penetrating evils than now
exist. There has been more than one
instance in the history of this land
where the cure has proven worse than
the disease. 1t may be possible to
curb and correct the human incentive
o: better perhaps, the human weak
ness, but whether it can be dominated
and dictated by absolute mandate is
a question that has puzzled the ages.
No right thinking man can set his
face against that which looks to the
reformation of his kind No man
whose way in life is guided by the
higher impulses will venture upon
such premises. The loftier aim is

Where Bribery is Punished.

A decision of the appellate division
of the New York supreme court gives
vitality and force to what is called
the anti-tipping law, enacted three
years ago. Massachusetts and Wis
COnsin have similar laws, While call
ed an anticipating law, it is in reality
a law against bribery. A purchasing
agent made a purchase in considera-
ton of what is euphemistically called
a commission of 5 per cent. AS a mat
ter of fact, he took a bride of SIS for
buying bill of 81 500 worth of goods.
The decision of the court was that the
employer need not pay for, or return,
the goods bought of him under such
The practice of brib-
ing employees has become very COM
mon, not to say general.
AS in all cases of bribery, the evil
dence is hard to procure; but, when it
is found, both civil and criminal pen
alties ought to be inflicted

Ninth Street in Worse Condition Now
Than Ever Before.
Though the Ninth street road was
patched in spots last summer it is
now in as bad or worse condition than
ever before. The worst portion is
south of Center station Much of the
roadway in that section is completely
worn out and merely patching it will
avail little. Experience has shown
that the dirt roadway of Twelfth
street will not stand the heavy traffic
that is forced upon it in the present
condition of Ninth street and it is up
Ia the city to do something. The
paving of Ninth street within The city
limits will be good as far as 1t goes,
but it will not help the worst part of
he thOroughfare.
Moline is steadily working for a bet
Ter highway and a more direct route
TO the southeastern part of the county

Need of New Labor Laws.

In response to the recent call of
President Samuel Gompers, a large
number of labor leaders of national
prominence assembled this week in
conference at the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor in
Washington, to discuss and take ac7
ton in regard to the recent decisions
of the United States supreme court
concerning labor. Some of the decis-
ions recently handed down by the SUI
preme tribunal have dealt the hardest
blows to organized labor in the his
tory of the United States. One of the
most important of these decisions was
that which declared Illegal the form
Of boycott practiced by the labor or
CARNATIONS against alleged unfair en-
plOyers. Another decision of equal or
even greater importance was that de-
livered by the supreme court in the
sO-called hatters' case in which it was
decided that a labor organization is
| financially responsible for damage suf-
fered by an employer through a boy
colt instituted by labor organiza-
| ton
AS there is no appeal from the de
cisions of the supreme court, the labor
leaders are at sea as to what course to
pursue in the matter. 1t is probable,
however, that some form of legislative
relief will be sought at the hands OF
congress.
