Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-11-08
UP TO ROCK ISLAND TO SAY
NHE Ether ROAD COMES HERE

therefore Muscatine, alive to the sit
uation, is ready to offer strong induce
ments to become a terminus
That Muscatine is in earnest was
shown by the request made that they
be allowed to furnish the balance of
the money for the preliminary survey
and that they be given the controlling
interest in the stock of the company.
The farmers, however, declined to
give them any encouragement under
the latter head, saying 1t is their in
tention to keep the control of the COM
pany at least till the line is in opera
ton.
Two Routes Discussed.
Two different plans for reaching
markets were discussed and they were
considered equally attractive from the
standpoint of the promoters. One was
to run the line from Rock Island
through Milan or down the Mississippi
from the west end of this city, passing
through Andalusia, Edgington, Buffalo
Prairie and on through Mercer county,
connecting with the Iowa Central near
Keithsburg. The other was to run it
from Muscatine to Aledo and Gales
burg. In either case the rich farming
country in the lower end of this county
would be tapped.
Aledo men were anxious to have
their city included, because, as they
stated, the Rock Island Southern has
given up the plan of building a stub
line from it's Rock sland-Monmouth
road, the understanding being that the
Burlington road has notified the Rock
Island road, which is back of the Rock
Island Southern, to keep out of Aledo
on pain of forfeiture of rights the Rock
Island now enjoys in the Burlington
territory elsewhere. So it is plain that
Muscatine and Aledo will work for the
MISUNDERSTANDING route and the
chance of Rock Island being a ter
minus will be slight unless this city
Immediately gets busy.
Show Their Enthusiasm.
After the meeting NJ. ]. Murphy of
this city, who was present, and who
has been identified with the promotion
of the line, accompanied the Musca-
tine men to that city and there found
% business men awaiting at the hotel
to receive the report of those who
they discussed the subject indicated
that they meant business. eve want
the road and we are going to have it, -
was the sentiment that prevailed.
1t is the intention to survey both
routes at once and to form a building
company as soon as the report of the
engineers is ready. In the meantime
Rock Island business men will do well
to get together and agree upon some
thing definite to offer in the way Of
facilities and other induce
ments.

B. WASHINGTON
HAS RIVAL HERE
Jesse Alex, Barber Shop At
tache, in Training for Plat
form Orator.
HAS MESSAGE FOR HIS RACE
Has Been Studying Negro Problem,
and Knows Faults and Weak
nesses of His Fellows.

Rock Island may furnish a rival to
Booker Washington, the negro leader.
Do you know the keen-eyed, toppy
young colored fellow who shines shoes
at the Harper house barber shop?
Well, he is Mr.. Jesse Alex, a young
man with ambitions to do something
for the intellectual, industrial AMI
moral uplift OF his race.
Jesse don't expect to put in all his
days bending over shoes. Not him.
He has been pretty we'll over the coun-
try and has observed the faults and
weaknesses Of the members of his
race. Too many boys, when they
strike a job such as he has, effect
fashy clothes, and seek to star as crap
shooters. They don't do anything for
their minds, Jesse says. He finds that
they lack direction. This, he main
tains, must come from people Of their
own color.
PerfectinS fn Stage Manners
Jesse has been studying the race
problem. He has a remedy for his
race. He has a message to deliver TO
his people, and to the white folks, and
he intends delivering it over the en-
tire United States.
Just now Jesse is grooming himself
for platform work. He has thoroughly
digested his subject, but as yet lacks
perfection in stage manners In the
late afternoons of these days Jesse
may be seen driving his message
home to the bare walls at the rear Of
the Harper house, taking his inspira-
ton from the orators of old who sent
their voices against the ocean waves.
Jesse has already had negotiations
with several of the lyceum bureaus,
and expects. within a year, to blossom
forth as a full-hedged platform orator
"a Moses to the black man.

Chair FOR WEAVER
Retiring Superintendent of the
Rock Island Club Pleas
antly Remembered.
SURPRISE AT DINNER PARTY
CompIimented on Excellent Record
He Made Here in Three Years
Takes Place at Oak Park.

Rock Island Club members, at a din
ner at the clubhouse On Sixteenth
street, Saturday evening presented
George L. Weaver, the retiring super
intendent of the club, handsome easy
chair. Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver and their
daughter Nina departed yesterday for
Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, where
Mr.. Weaver is to be superintendent of
the Oak Park club.
There were 16 at the dinner Satur-
day evening. w. A. Rosenf1eld, presi-
dent of the club, made the presenta-
ton, in which he highly complimented
Mr.. Weaver on the capable manner in
which he administered the duties of
his position during the three years
that he was connected with the club.
He said Mr.. Weaver, aside from his
efficient supervision of the culinary de-
partment, showed himself to be a fl
nancier of exceptional qualifications,
and to his energies in that direction
was due the present healthy financial
state of the club exchequer.
Boys 'Put One Over"
Mr.. Weaver, in responding, confess
ed that the boys had put one over"
on him, as the first intimation that he
had that he was to be so substantially
remembered was when he was called
before the dinner party. He had form
ed close attachments during his resi-
dence in Rock Island, he said, and he
was reluctantly leaving. However, he
believed the new place offered him a
larger field, and in justice to himself
he could not do otherwise than he had
done. B. T. Hartz, Charles Nourse and
]. W. WEIGH, members of the board
of directors, had charge of the ar
engagements for the presentation.
The gift chair was purchased of
Clemann & Salzmann, and was one of
the finest in the stock of that concern.

FIND $1,000 IN AN
EMPTY GALVA HOUSE
Bills Scattered Over the FIoors-Oc-
cupant Moves TO Daven-
port.

A rather startling discovery was
made in Galva when H. c. Bailey, who
had been appointed conservator for
Miss Della Bailey of that place
searched her home. Lying about the
house were bills and currency amount
ing to approximately $1,000. The
house had not been occupied for some
time, Miss Bailey having moved TO
Davenport to live with her mother who
resides there. Owing to the fact that
no one was looking after the house,
application was made for a conserva-
tor for Miss Bailey and the court ap-
pointed Mr.. Bailey.
Enlisting the services Of Frank Bur
nette and o. A. Hampstead Of Galva
as appraisers, Bailey proceeded to
draw up an inventory of the personal
effects. The sight which met the men
when they searched the house was a
genuine surprise Scattered through
out the house, with no apparent at
tempt at concealment, were found
quantities of money. The appraisers
took charge of the cash and have
placed it In safekeeping. All the per-
sonal property has also been stored in
a safe place, and detailed report Of
the findings will be made by the three
men to the county court.
Considering the length OF time the
house has been unoccupied, it is re-
garded as remarkable that the money
has been left unmolested.

New York.
MONTHS IN THE HOSPITAL
Sufferer Given $3.50 in Cash and
Clothing as He Leaves for the
East.

The following is taken from the
Grand Junction (Colo.) Daily Sentinel
OF Nov. 2:
Last night the Elzs in session held
a most pleasant meeting. One of the
acts of the session is one
that usually creates a great deal Of
happy feeling in the lodge. 1t was
one of the numerous acts of charity
that have been done by the lodge, Of
which the people rarely hear. Ross
Olson is a young man who has been
lying sick in one of the hospitals of
this city for several months. He
joined the E1ks at Rock Island, Ill.
and when taken sick here the Elks
of this city took him IN charge and
have done everything possible for his
comfort since. He has not seemed TO
grow any better from the aggravated
case of rheumatism from which he
was suffering. and something had 20
be done to secure cure if possible.
In Care of Specialist.
ct was understood by the lodge that
Ray Hunter, son of DR.. Mary G. Hun
ter, was going to New York to take
care of Arthur Currie, and that he
would be willing to undertake the care
of young Olson to New York to place
him under the care of the same physi-

Currie is at the present time.
ITO raise the money necessary 20
place him in the hands of the special

dressed themselves. They took the
matter up before the lodge last night,
and without a dissenting voice the
lodge unanimously voted the young
man the SUN of $3.50 and then took a
collection among themselves and
raised $40 for a new overcoat.
THE Joy of the young man when
he heard what had been done for him
by his brothers in this city knew no
bounds. He can hardly contain him
self for Joy at the thought that he IS
now placed in position where he can
receive the most expert medical at
tention.
General Rejoicing.
"The lodge took as much pleasure
out of the matter as the young man
did, and there was general rejoicing
last night because of the opportunity
to do the handsome thing that was
done.
"And this is only one of the hun
dreds of acts of practical charity re-
corded in behalf of the lodge the past
year.

Farmers of Lower End of
the County Will Have
Interurban.
READYWlTHTH THEM N EY
Muscatine Business Men Offer
Big Inducements at Buffalo
Prairie Meeting.

That the lower end of Rock Island
county means to have interurban IA
cilities to reach the markets of some
nearby city and that it is in fair way
to get them was made manifest at q
meeting held at the Buffalo Prairie
hall Saturday night. If Rock Island
wishes to be the favored city it is up
to the business men here to sit up and
take notice.
There were $50 men, practically all
farmers and land owners from Buffalo
Prairie, Drury. Edgington and Anda-
lusia in this county and the adjacent
townships in Mercer county, with a
number of business men from Musca-
tine and Aledo present. The greater
part of a fund of 81 500 to make sur
veys was raised on the spot.
3 Assurances were given that 100000
worth Of stock will be taken in the
territory tapped by the proposed road,
not including the cities to be made
terminals Thirty-two of men present
at the meeting pledged themselves
verbally to subscribe $4,000 each and
there is absolutely no question that
the balance can be raised inside of
two weeks when it is certain that the
project is go.
Effect Permanent Organization.
William Kistler presided over the
meeting and DR.. E. L. Marston acted
as secretary. A permanent organiza-
ton was effected by naming Dr. Mar
ston, B. Y. Marquis, NJ. ]. Murphy,
George Rausch, Ferdinand Mewes, J.
G. Britton and A. W. Elliott as an ex-
ecutive committee to have charge of
the collection and disbursement of the
fund of $4,000 to be used in making
the surveys. Three thousand and five
hundred dollars of this sum was
pledged at the meeting in SIS subscrip-
lions.
A dozen men addressed the meeting
and all were in favor of going ahead
without delay. B. F. Towndrow of Mo-
line, who has taken the lead in the
promotion enc OF the enterprise, stated
that he had absolute assurance that
If 100000 worth of stock were taken
by the property owners along the line
and the right Of way given New York
capital would be forthcoming to build
the road.
Muscntine Offers Much.
Muscatine business men. of whom
there were half a dozen present. in
GLIDING President James GeisIer of the
Commercial club, President Henry
Geisler of the German-American Say
ings bank, George Titus, who promoted
the Muscatine North & South, and Mr..
Collins, head of the Collins Lumber
company, held out an offer to subscribe
for $4,000 worth of bonds, to give free
terminals end to bear half the cost of
crossing the Mississippi as an induce
ment for the road to enter that city.
This proposition led one of the other
speakers to point out that it is Musca-
tines interest lies wholly in keeping
the trade of the territory on this side
of the river So long as there are no
rail facilities the farmers within a
radius of II Or Is miles on this side
of the river drive to the Iowa town for
the bulk OF their supplies. Should a
line be built to the tri-cities without
crossing to Muscatine a great portion
of that trade would come this way.
