BANKS REFUSE A
LOAN To COUNTY
Moline Financiers Demand Six
Per Cent Interest on Bor-
rowed Funds.
LAW PERMITS ONLY FIVE
Committee of Board Putting in To-
day interviewing Heads of Rock
Island Institutions.

Moline banks yesterday refused
Rock Island county a loan of $4,000
at per cent interest. NJ. r. Carlson
and J. E. Larkin of the county board
finance committee conferred with the
bankers. The credit of the county
was not questioned, but the financiers
took the position that 1t would be a
poor investment for them to put mon
ey out at 5 when they could place all
the funds at their disposal at a cent
better.
Under the law, however, the county
is not authorized to pay interest in
excess of 3 per cent on borrowed
funds. 1t may be that the fact that
the incoming county treasurer, w. ii.
Whiteside, has decided to make Rock
Island banks depository for the funds
of his office during his term may have
Influenced the latest action of the Mo
line banks.
Needs Money to Pay Bills.
The same committee of the county
board this afternoon is interviewing
the bankers of this city, but as far as
learned has not had better success
than was met with in Moline. The
county needs $4,000 to meet current
bills that will have accumulated oy
the time of the December session of
the supervisors. Previous to the Sep
TENDER meeting, at which it was ex-
pected all bills would be met, the fin
ance committee failed in an effort to
raise $4,000 among the banks. The
same objection as TO the rate of in
terest was encountered at that time.
The bills were put over until the ses-
sion of next month. The committee
wants $4,000 to deposit with the coun-
ty treasurer to meet court jury fees.
In the event the committee is unsuc-
cessful in its effort to raise the desir-
ed $4,000. no bills will be paid at the
December meeting. Creditors will be
obliged to wait until the tax revenues
begin 20 come in.

Burke May Not BE Man.

Charles Burke, who was arrested in
Bettendorf yesterday and brought to
this city upon suspicion of having
passed bad check here, will probably
be released Mrs. Bertha Baker. who
cashed the bad check, was not able to
state positively that Burke was the
right man, although she said he great
ly resembled the fellow. His trying to
escape from the marshal of Bettendorf
upon being arrested was thought by
the police to indicate guilt, and they
are trying TO connect him with some
other crime. The injury he received
when shot by the Bettendorf marshal
is not serious.
Harrison Howard, the colored boy
who shot and seriously wounded his
brother-in-law, Harry Saunders, will
receive his preliminary hearing next
Saturday. His case was continued
from today until that time.

Speak The Truth.

A twelve-year-old boy whose name
was Walter was summoned into court as
a witness in a case. The lawyer had a
rather weak case, but as there was but
one witness against him he did his best
to get that witness ratified so that he
might contradict himself. That only wit
ness was Walter. In his cross -eXamina-
ton the lawyer did his best TO make the
boy say contradictory things, but the boy
always testified TO the same things and in
the same way.
"Your father has instructed you as to
what to say, has he not ?" said the lawyer.
yes, sir, said the boy.
"Now, then" said the shrewd lawyer,
"tell us Just what your father told you TO
say"
"Well," said the boy, in his chld-like
and innocent way, "father said that the
lawyer would try Ito rattle me SO that
would get things mixed up, but as truth
was always the same, he told me to tell
nothing but the truth and that would be
the same each time. "
The lawyer tried no further to rattle the
boy. Tell the truth. 1t is always the
best policy and the only right thing to DO.
He who does so will always come out
right in the end.

Many Postal Cards Used.

The new machinery in the Government
Printing Office, where postal cards are
now made, will produce 100000 cards a
day when they reach their full capacity.
They are turning out about 100000 for
each working day of eight hours.
II is only recently that the &c, p. o.
began TO make postal cards. Previously
the Postoffice Department contracted for
the supplies with private manufacturers.
But the Government Printing Office,
which bids for work OF the Government
just as private printers do and receives
contracts only on Lowest and best bids, "
The new and modern machines print,
score, "cut or slit or both" and count and
deliver paper banded packages of25 cards
which are made from web stock not more
than 95 nor less than IS ten thousands OF
an inch thick The cards are 3 IA by 5
l-2 inches.
The estimated use Of postal cards sold
by the Government is about 100000 a
day, but the output for each day is made
larger 10 avoid possible embarrassment
resultant from the breakage Of machinery
or other contingencies.

How the Bishop Swore.

Bishop Olmstead, of Denver, tells a
Thanksgiving story illustrative OF the fact
that clergymen must keep very much
farther away from evil than the ordinary
man.
The Bishop was once talking in Ohm
Stedville with an old fisherman about
neighboring divine.
"A very good man" the Bishop said.
"A good man, yes" assented the old
fisherman. "He swears a good BIT for
preacher, though"
"SwearS - exclaimed Bishop Ohm
Sted. 81 can't believe that"
But heard him." said the old fisher
man, obstinately. 81 sat beside him at
our Thanksgiving treat, you know, sir.
We were both hacking away at turkey
leg. His got away from him. II slid
across the table toward me, and lot OF
cranberry sauce was scattered about.
81 said to him, sympathetic like. for !
could see he was worked up:
"TheSe legs are id tough, amt they,
Sir?'
Yes, George, they certainly are.
"Now if that amt swearing" conclud-
ed the old fisherman, "what is it ?"

Hairs Upon Horses Lips.

The fine hairs about the mouth OF the
horse are organs OF touch OF extreme del
icacy. They serve TO a certain extent the
same purpose as our finger ends, the
whiskerS OF the cat or the trunk OF the
elephant. SenSitiveness is due 10 spec
tally developed endingS OF nerves in the
skin, which are continually sending mes
sageS 10 the brain. The lip hairs OF the
horse first receive the stimulus. which is
communicated TO the end organs and so
passes on TO the brain. They come into
play when the horse samples a new ar
ticle of food. He first smells II and, hay-
ing so far satisfied himself, touches Il del
icately with those sensitive hairs. The
upper lip moves softly in quick sympathy
and confirms the opinion suggested by the
hairs. The tongue judges finally as to
the fitness OF the food. When the horse
wishes to drink, these hairs assure him
that the water is free from foreign matter
on the surface, for he drinks from the
surface only. They detect the smalles
particle Of dirt and guide him TO the pur-
est place.

The Spider.

OF all the solitary insects ! have ever
seen the spider is the most Sagacious,
and its actions to one who has attentiyely
considered them seem almost TO exec
belief. The spider is formed by nature
for a state OF war, not only upon other
Insects, but upon its fellows. For this
state nature seems to haYe formed it with
singular perfection. Its head and breast
are covered with a strong natural coat Of
mail, which isimpenetrable to the attacks
of every other insect, and its lower parts
are enveloped in soft plant skin which
eludes the sting OF wasp. lis legs are
terminated by strong claws not unlike
those Of a lobster, and their vast length
like spears serves TO keep every assail-
ant, at a safe distance. Not worse fur
nished for observation than for attack or
defense it has several eyes, large and
transparent, covered with horny sub
stance, which, however, does not i'm
Dede IFS vision.

Fly-Paper To Stop Talking.

''l'll teach you 10 keep your mouth
shut, exclaimed Mrs. Clara Brandon, to
her mother-i Law Mrs. Lavinia Brandon,
of indianapolis, Ind, and, fitting the ac-
ton TO the word. slapped apiece OF sticky
fly-paper over the elder Mrs. Brandon's
mouth.
She did not hesitate TO pick out piece
that would have been less Objectionable
because it had not been.on duty so long,
but chose the first one she ran across and
made a good job OF il by pasting the edges
around her mother -in-law'S ears.
AT least that was the story told by the
elder Mrs. Brandon when she appeared
in court against her daughter-in-law. Her
features still bore the marks OF the paper,
and her face and ears were decorated
with fly wings and glue. She left "the
evidence" on her face over night TO con-
vince the Judge, she said.
The daughter-In-law was arrested, and
when the elder Mrs. Brandon went 10
police headquarters to talk the situation
over she was advised by Matron Gregore
not to remove the battle scars.
The elder Mrs. Brandon said She was
sitting on the front porch, when her
daughter-in-law ordered her TO depart.
She moved over TO the corner, she said,
and then her dlughtef-in law kicked her
on the ankle. But Mrs. Brandon said
she refused to move further, and her
daughter-in-law rushed TO the kitchen
and picked up the fly paper, which she
pasted over her mouth.
The Judge fined the younger woman $40
and costs, although the mother-in-law
admitted that she was very tedious old
person. Judge, just couldn't stand it.
She criticised my hair and my dress. did
use the fly paper, but she deserved it."
said Mrs. Brandon She said Alonzo ID.
Brandon, son and husband, had promised
to find a new home for his mother. The
wife has appealed TO the higher courts TO
determine whether or not she is guilty.

Mrs Inngworth Discussed.

The report that Mrs. Alice Longworth,
formerly Miss Alice Roosevelt, smokes
cigarettes. caused a lively discussion yes
terday among members Of well known
Pittsburg women's clubs at meeting OF
the Pittsburg Playground Association S
flower committee.
81 look on a woman who smokes Gig
aretteS as do on one who bleaches her
hair-with suspicion" was the statement
of Mrs. ]. H. Armstrong.
Mrs. Minnie o. Roberts and Mrs.
George Kramer took leading parts in the
discussion, which was listened to with
great interest by the women present,
among them being members Of the fol-
towing clubs WimodausiS, the Woman's
Club of PittSburg, SoroSiS, the Daughters
of the American Revolution, the Daugh-
ters of 1872, the Daughters of Pioneers
and the Women'S Southern Society.
"The higher the position a woman
holds the more womanly she should be, ="
asserted Mrs. Roberts, and number oi
others said they thought Mrs. Longworth
ought to be ashamed OF herself OF setting
such an example to the young women OF
the land.
One dissenter, a member Of the VIM
odausis Club, said ANY woman has a
right to smoke cigarettes, if she wants to,
so long as she doesn't tread on any one
elSe'S toes"
The spirited discussion was ended ra-
ther abruptly, when prominent Daugh-
ter of the American Revolution arose
and said:
eve needn't all get up our feathers
simply because Mrs. Longworth smokes
cigarettes. Why, one hundred years ago
our great-grandmOtherS sat with their
husbands and smoked corncob pipes"

1.-The Habit of Immortality" ;"

III TIC SulISHl uulluCl Vi lilS OulIOOh
DR.. Lyman Abbot writes as follows:
We live in two worlds, a world that
we can see and touch, and world that
is invisible, inaudible, intangible world,
is the important world, the real world,
the. enduring world.
The invisible makes the home. 1t is
made not by stone or brick, or wood, but
by faith and home and love, binding to-
gether husbands and wives, parents ard
children. The cynic Sneers at love in a
cottage. But love in cottage makes
home, which hate in palace can never
make. DR.. Abbot goes on in the same
way 10 make clear that it is the invisible
that makes the school, the State, and
even commercial prosperity. "For COM
mercial prosperity, says he, is built on
credit; and credit is faith in the honesty
OF our fellow man; and honesty is inyiSi-
ble." DR.. Abbot draws an illustration
from music. He says, "Ihe orchestra
does not make music; il is only an inStru-
ment for conveying music from one spirit
to other spirits. The orchestra no more
makes the music which it conveys than
the telegraphic wire makes the message
which it conveys. Music is not vol
ume OF sound; it is an experience which
sound transmits from one soul 10 another
soul. The composer creates in himself
the symphony. He translates this crea-
ton into symbolic language upon sheet
of paper. The orchestra translates this
translation into chords. These chords
received through the ear awaken in the
hearer an experience similar TO that which
was in the soul OF the original composer.
Consider it well; each tone OF scale
in itself is naught; it is everywhere in the
world-loud and soft, and all is said.
Give it to me to use ! mix it with two
in my thought, and there we have heard
and seen, consider and bow the head J.
"What has the hearer heard and seen
He has heard and seen the invisible, in
audible experience that was in the soul
of the composer.
In the upbuilding OF our city and State
are we looking sufficiently to the invisl-
BILE, the real world? Are we developing
the things that administer to the spirit OF
man, along with the upbuilding OF our
town? Every thoughtful man must feel
some sense of regret when he realizes
that the view OF the West Virginia hills
now to be seen through Capitol street
will soon be almost completely cut OIL by
a sky scraper. He appreciates the en-
terprise and the spirit OF the men who are
building this temple OF business, and he
will share their pride in it, but he some
how wishes that another site may be
found for it and that the city might take
some step to save our river front. 1t is
what the hillside might say to the hearts
of men passing through Capitol street
that goes to make up the invisible but
nevertheless real world.
When are we going to begin support
ing heartily, and with true sense OF pro-
portion, the things that belong to the real
world q? The library, the lecture course,
the series OF concerts, the gallery and the
play that gives an uplift? Are we going
to leave it 10 the future, or shall we carry
our invisible but real world along with
us as we 90? Which course is best?
