union MOLDERS
ARE RESTRAINED
Judge Gest Issues Injunction
Against Former Plow Com
pany Employees.
LARSON IS GIVEN VERDICT
Jury Awards $4,000 for Life of Al
bert V. Erickson, Killed by
Train in Moline.

Judge w. H. Gest has ruled on the
demurrers and motions which have
been made by both sides in the ROCK
Island Pillow company injunction pro-
ceedings, and a temporary Injunction
has been granted against the molderS.
The writ, which will probably be serV-
ed Monday, is not against the iron
holders union, however, but is against
the men as individuals. They are re-
strained from interfering with the OPP
erations of the plow factory or from
intimidating or in any way preventing
the present employees of the company
from doing their work.
Several months back the Rock Is
land holders union and the pillow COM
pany had a disagreement which ended
in the company declaring the shop an
open one. The places of the old en-
ployes were filled at once, and at first
there was some trouble when the
union men tried to get the newcomers
to join their ranks and hold out for
organized labor.
Stay Order Granted.
Then came a request on the part Of
the company for an injunction re-
straining the men from interfering IN
any way with the operation of the
shop or from using persuasion with
the non-union employees to quit work.
Judge Gest, before whom the petition
came up, took the matter under ad-
visement, and granted a stay order
until such time as he could pass judg-
ment upon the injunction proceedings
proper. The stay order was in effect
a temporary injun ction, practically
what Judge Gest granted today, so that
the status of the case is not materially
changed.
Verdict for Plaintiff.
Charles A Larson. administrator Of
the estate of the late Albert B. Erick-
son of Moline, was given a verdict for
$4,000 yesterday afternoon against the
Rock Island road which he had sued
for the recovery of $4,000 damages
as a result of the death of Mr.. Erick-
son two years ago.
Feb s, 1908, Mr. Erickson was driv-
ing a wagon across the railroad tracks
at the -Twenty-fifth. street crossing,
Moline, when a freight train came
along and struck the wagon, killing
Mr.. Erickson, and one Of the horses,
and demolishing the wagon.
The case had occupied the attention
OF the circuit court the entire past
week, the final arguments having been
made yesterday afternoon, after which
Judge F. D. Ramsay gave his instruc-
lions to the jury. The verdict was
brought in during the evening. Attor-
ney G. w. Wood of Moline represented
the complainant and the firm of Jack
son. Hurst & Stafford represented the
corporation.

Make Garden Snakes Work.

A new use for snakes was discovered
on the farm of Samuel X. Mclaughlin,
a few miles east of Cadiz, Ohio, by
Charles Albright, a farmer. He saw
a garden snake coiled about potato
plant near him, and killed it.
He was surprised in a few moments
to see another snake coiled about the
top of a plant in another row, and, be-
ing curious to know what the snakes
could be doing in such position, he
watched for a few moments, and was
rewarded by seeing the snake gather
the potato bugs from all over the
plant, and eat them with an apparent
relish. He allowed this snake to have
its freedom, and he says there would
be work for quite little army of these
reptiles in his potato field.
Many farmers refuse to allow snakes
of any kind found in this section to be
killed, as they declare they destroy
hundreds of field mice, rats and even
ground squirrels, that are such a pest
to farmers in destroying grain of diff
ferent kinds at different seasons of the
year.-New York World.

Author, Margaret Hill McCar-

IOLDS THE ATTENTION

The Price of the Prairie" is a new
book. The fact that it was written by
a Topeka woman isn't so important as
the fact that it is a mighty good book.
This novel surely is destined to have
a successful career. 1t tells the story
of the struggle with the Indians on the
Kansas frontier and it is brim full of
interesting things that will hold the at
tention of the reader from the time he
opens the book until he has read the
last line which probably will be in the
early morning hours, for once started
there is no stopping place.

an to Her Niece.
Dear Niece Joan:
A girl in an Office near mine has
just lost a corking good position be-
cause she didn't realize that a bus
mess office wasn't either a sail boat or
an afternoon tea.
The man she worked for has half
a dozen stenographers and is very
proud of the good tone of his office
force They are an exceptional crew of
sensible and refined young business
women, and he takes almost as much
pride in their good manners and SEN
sible clothes as he does in their work.
This girl was different She was
good worker. too-good at punctua-
ton and spelling, and a neat and ac-
curate stenographer-but there was
one thing she didn't know the A, B, c
of, and that was how to dress in a
business office.
One day she would appear in a
Lombardy blouse with a smashing red
sailors tie. the next she'd wear an
alarmingly peekaboo waist with a
very Dutch neck and a firtatious
showing of blue ribbon underneath,
and the third she'd be logged out in
a half-soiled afternoon dress, for she
was the kind of girl who thinks
wornout fnery belongs in the kitchen
and the of-ce.
Then, of course, she'd always wear
the trimmings to match-low-cut
pumps and gossamer stockings, white
gloves, big snowy hats fancy neck
chains that would get caught in her
typeWriter-and all that sor of thing.
The employer stood it for awhile.
He thought the sight of the six other
girls, who always looked both charm
ing and business-like in regular BUSH
ness get-ups, tailored suits and finish
fngs to match, would soon tone her
down.
| When it didn't he mildly suggested
more appropriate form of costume
and she was vastly insulted and left in
a huff.
Now. niece, of course I know that
you aren't that kind; but it won't do
you any harm to be reminded to keep
good and plenty away from 1t.
That man wasn't exceptionally fussy,
I know, but I've heard a good many
business men talk. and I know that.
while they may f1atter the overdressed
| girl about looking pretty. they really
/ admire and approve of the woman who
dresses in a business-like way for
business
Don't worry about looking dowdy.
Most women look about as well in
a we'll built tailor suit and well
fitted tailored waist, or simple blouse,
as they ever do.
There is a girl who goes in on the
same train I do in the mornings: VINO
! always wears a navy blue tailored
suit. a white shirt waist, and stock
| of the latest style, and always has
fresh looking gloves and perfectly
/ kept shoes.
1 have heard a dozen men admire
that girls appearance.
| oh, by the way, that sample of
fawn colored corduroy, with braiding
to match that you sent me as sug-
! gestion for a winter suit is awfully
pretty. but do you think it looks ex-
actly business-like?
Now, don't be cross with me, will
YOU, Joan? Just say, it's only my
/ hardheaded, but softhearted,
