Judging from the enthusiasm and

evening for the purpose of discussing
the proposed park in the Seventh

a reality. The attendance at the meet

himself in favor of the proposed park,
including Mayor Schaffer and the five
aldermen who were present. The

UP BEFORE STATE SENATE
Rock island County Placed With Mer-
Ger and Henderson in the Four
teenth District.

Under the terms of a judicial reap
portionment bill, completed yesterday
by the state committee assigned to
that work, Rock Island county is plac
ed in the Fourteenth district with the
counties of Mercer and Henderson,
while Henry, Putnam, Bureau and
Whiteside compose the Fifteenth dis
trict The bill, it is stated, win be

hope of passing it before the judicial
primaries April Is. 1t contains an

effect Immediately upon being signed
| by the governor
The state outside of Cook county is
divided into p circuits, each with three
judges. 1t is the outgrowth of three
bills that have been referred to the
committee.
The bill, as proposed, will, if passed
have an important bearing upon the
Judicial election in which Rock Island
county is interested. Under its terms
Judge E. c. Graves of Geneseo and
Judge F. D. Ramsay of Morrison, who
Iare candidates for reelection, would
be eliminated, so far as this county is
concerned. With Mercer and Hender
son counties in the district, the likeli
hood of electing two judges from this
county would be greatly increased.
Helps Rock Island Candidates.
Among the candidates who have
declared themselves the individual
lchances for nomination at the primary
would be considerably altered. The
Moline aspirants, who hope to draw
Support from Henry and Whitesid,
counties, would be the losers, and tn,
Rock Island candidates, notably Judg,
R. w. Olmsted, who is considered
lstrong in Mercer county, would gain.
The object of the reapportionmen
is to make a more equitable distribu
ton of the business and to reliev
counties in which the dockets ar
chemically crowded. Rock Island i
one of the counties needing relief, an
the proposed measure would withou
doubt provide it.

this reason, one-third of the $4,000
would have to be paid in cash, but the
owners offered to allow the remaining

for the park as the land would proba-

have madeFto u.s. he said, lis certainly
a fair one in my estimation. They ask
less than $500 an acre for this land
which is located between two of the
principal street Car lines of the city.

CLEAN THE ORCHARD.
If You Have not Already Done So Do
II Now.

No orchard should be allowed to 90
into winter with the ground covered
with weeds, cornstalks, straw or any
thing else under which mice can hide.
This has been the undoing of many an
orchard. Sod often produces a growth
of grass late in the fall that mats to-
gether and makes good hiding place
for the field mice. From their hiding
places they sally out and attack the
trees. making paths under the snow to
the trees. The burning of the dry
grass and the narrowing Of the soil.
If it be plowed, viii do away with the
refugees OF the mice The danger does
not come from mice far from the or.

Especially is it undesirable for the
grass and weeds to be allowed tc
grow up Immediately around the trees
as this increases the danger.

PROTECTING APPLE TREES.
Make Your Own Shields of Lath and
Wire.

Apple trees need to be protected
against rodents, but the safest way is
to use iath held together by means of
wire. Any farmer can take lath and
wire and make the shields himself
and this win remove the necessity OF
paying high prices for patented ar
ticles. The lath should be brought as
close together as possible, so that not
even a mouse can get between. The
shields thus made for TIE tree should
not be so small that they will INTER
fere with the growth of the tree If
they are left on, but should be large
enough to permit growth and also to
permit the air to have free circulation
between the tree and the lath. These
lath shields should be placed about tie
trees at once and pushed down in 20
the soil around the trees, so that nc
mice can get under them. The sooner
this work is done the better.

Cumberland, is in critical condition
from an amputation of the leg per-
formed by fellow countrymen. Seppi
boarded freight train to ride a short
distance. Several of the cars were
wrecked, and he was caught in the
debris. His left leg was crushed al
most to pulp, and, as the services OF
a ply stefan we've not available, fellow
countrymen severed the crushed leg.
All went well for few days, when
the stump gave the boy SO much pain
that physician was summoned The
boy was sent to a hospital.
