want HUI to Test On.-A pet1tlOl
will be presented at the next regular
meeting of the city council by the
Velie Motor Car company requesting
permission to use one of the paved
hill streets during certain hours each
day for testing machines Every en-
CINE is tested thoroughly before the
automobile in which it is used is put
on the market. A hill test is neces-
sary, as the engines must have ability
not only to develop the required horse
power and speed claimed for the car,
but must be capable of climbing the
hills. 1t has been suggested that use
of the Eighth street hill be permitted.
as there are no avenues crossing this
street from Eighth to Eleventh ave
nue., and the danger of accidents TO
pedestrians or other vehicles on this
hill is reduced to a minimum.
Propose to Enlarge Hospital
Plans have been completed by w. H..
Whitsitt, the architect, for proposed
improvements on the city hospital
buildings and bids are being asked. 1t
is proposed to raise the roof and add
another story to the building and this
will be undertaken if the improve
nent does not cost too much money.
With a growing city the hospital IS
fast becoming inadequate to take care
Of it's patients A third story will pro
vide ample room for some time TO
come.
Wedding Surprise.-The many
friends of Miss Besse Davis and
Clyde West, both of Moline, will De
very much surprised to learn of their
marriage, which took place last Thurs
day morning at Galesburg. The we'd
ding was solemniZed at the parsonage
| of the First Methodist church at II
| o'clock and they were unattended.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs Be-
tina Davis of 505h Fifteenth street
and is graduate of st. Joseph's
school of Rock Island Mr.. West is
| the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert West
of 1923 Fifteenth street and is EN-
ployed at w G. Putnam & Co. They
will make their home in Moline.
SiIvis Barn Surns.-The barn be
longing TO Henry Stoneberg located at
Thirteenth street near Second avenue
in Silvis was totally destroyed by fire
at midnight The crew on a passing
interurban car noticed the blaze and
aroused the neighbors by footing the
car whistles. Assistance came and the
horses were taken out just in time
as well as the buggies and wagons
However, the building was totally de
! stroyed The extent of the damage is
4 estimated at $500 and 5000 insurance
/ is carried on the building 1t is
thought that tramps who had been
making a practice of sleeping in the
barn set it afire.
Meeting is a Failure.-Three people
attended the Humane society meeting
at the First Baptist church Tuesday
evening and it begins TO appear that
there is very little in the cause. Al
a meeting called for two weeks ago
there was but one man present, and
those who have interested themselves
in organization of the work have be
come so discouraged that they have
about decided to cease their efforts.
