Moline Property Owners Seek In
junction Restraining City from
Making New Cemetery.

H. E Winter and Andrew Schell,
both residents Of the southeast poi
ton of Moline, filed an application for
an Injunction in the circuit court to-
day in which they asked that the city
of Moline be restrained from turning
into a cemetery certain section of
land which has been laid out and grad
ed for that purpose. The two com
plainants are the owners of ground
just back of Riverside cemetery In
Moline. At present a section of the
burying ground lies directly west of
them and the new section lies just
east of them. They dislike being
hemmed In on three sides by a GENE
terry and the Injunction is to restrain
the city from doing this. Among the
reasons that are cited are that the
water supply will be contaminated and
that it will hurt the laying of sewers
and watermains to have the cemetery
located on both sides of them. Attor-
ney H A. Weld appears for the appli-
cants.

Mo SHILLING in Art

The visits of Mrs. Harriet Hutchin-
son Horton, the well. known artist,
are always a source of inspiration to
lovers of beauty and subtlety of arts
tic portraiture. Many splendid samples
of her art are cherished possessions
in prominent families of the tri-cities
and she has now completed commits
sions given her to paint the portrait
of Miss Alice French, the late W. P.
Bettendorf and the late Mrs. Anthony
Burdick, of Davenport
Mrs. Horton thoroughly believes in
the artistic creed expressed by crit
ical writer in a contemporaneous pub
lication,-that the resemblance an ar
fist should strive to express is the re
semblance of the soul, which is the
only resemblance that really matters,
and that the eye of the painter should
