One of the old landmarks of Rock
Island county will soon fall before the
reaper of progress. The old brick
building south of the Modern Woodmen
headquarters, which was constructed
in 1886 and was used for 20 years as a
county Jail, will be destroyed and a
modern building will be erected on the
site. The property on which the Jail
now stands was bought last week by
the Modern WoOdmen of America. but
to what use it will be put is not known
Major Halves of the Woodmen said
last week: The next requirement in
the way of new buildings for this or
ganization is a building to be used as
a storehouse. 1t is probable that
warehouse will be erected soon in
which to store our paper stock. The
title to the property was acquired I'M
der the direction of the board of direc
tors upon advice which was received at
this Office after the adjournment of the
January session of the board"
The old Jail was built in 1886 to be
used as quarters for lawbreakers. 1t

sor Spiering has now finally announced

noon. with Kurt SCHNEIDER at the piano.
The recital is being looked forward o
as one of the biggest musical events

Notwithstanding this assurance, T.
A. McLarney, formerly the night OPP
orator at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, who had shipped with the YES
sci when it left this port, refused to
continue on the voyage because his
parents at Monticello, n. Y. had a
premonition that something would
happen. They bombarded him with
messages to this effect, and in defer
ence to their wishes he obtained a
substitute operator, w. D. McGinnjs,
who sent out the call which saved
the lives of his shipmateS.

rection given by the Kentucky, and as
it drew within range of the latter

thick black smoke from its tunnels
to give heart to the crew of the dis
abIed vessel and warning of the ap.
proach of the Alamo.
In the wireless room of the Ken

hammering away on the call for aid
and receiving the assurance that hell

on the Alamo, publicly thanked the

until the vessel was found. Just as
the electricity failed the first sign of

seen.
The work of transferring the crew
was attended with little danger, and
no one was injured.

NEEDED CHANGES
WITH new PAVING
Enlarged Water Mains and
Placing of Wires Under
the Surface.
GATHER DATA FOR COUNCIL
Whole Question to Be Taken Up at
Meeting of Municipal Body Next
Monday Evening.

At the meeting of the city council
next Monday evening it is expected
that Dan Kelly, superintendent of wa
terworks, will have a report on the
condition and capacity, compared with
demands, of the water service pipage
in Second and Third avenues, the in
formation to be for the benefit of the
aldermen in connection with the con-
sideration of the ordinances for the re-
paving of those thoroughfares, togeth-
er with Twentieth street between Sec
and Fourth avenues. AS known gen.
orally, the recommendation of the board
of local improvements is that asphalt
be substituted for the present worn
brick pavement.
1t is known that it will be only few
years until the water mains in Sec
ond and Third avenues will have to be
replaced with enlarged pipes to meet
the requirements of the increasing
population. The members of the coun-
ell are DESTROYS that this improvement
be taken care of simultaneously with
the new paving, in order that the lat
in place. and not be torn up by subse-
quent changes in the water main sys-
tenn.
Wires Under Ground.
Another change that is to be weighed
with the paving ordinance is that of
putting the telephone wires under
ground. Those of the Union Electric
are now buried. but those of the Cen
trail Union are still hung on the IN
slightly poles that sprinkle the city.
The company is ready to rebuild it's
local plant and to place it's wires be-
meath the surface when the council
adopts a new ordinance which has been
submitted to the body by the company
The contention on which the adop-
ton of the ordinance hangs is the union
labor clause that members of the coun-
Gil insist be embodied as a part of the
telephone ordinance. This is contrary
to the general policy of the company,
and the local officials declare will
never be granted The council and the /
company seem to be entirely agreed on |
all other points. The ordinance. it is |
said, will be up before the council /
again Monday evening.
The council. in giving attention to I
the water mains and the telephone I
wires, should not lose sight of the bus /

in favor of the new paw

WHEAT DECLINES
ON GENERAL selling
Crop News From All Points Is
Very Bearish
WEAKNESS is ACUTE.


Chicago, June 13-Lowest prices to date
for the wheat crop Of 1910 were made
this afternoon. AS if to emphasize by
contract the bearish outlook regarding
the current year May delivery for 1911
scored a net advance of &c. Large yields
and fine quality of new wheat in Texas
were today recognized as so certain that
Kansas City millers offered flour to the
Atlantic seaboard at 75c a barrel below
Minneapolis quotations. The effect of this
action was immediate on the wheat mar
with active futures ss911c to nc under
the final figures of Saturday Corn fin
ished sc to aG7sc down and oats 9sq1kc
to 15c.
During the last part of the day there
was continuous pressure on the wheat
market from influential sources. The July
option weakened more relatively than the
deferred months. Indications pointed to
persistent liquidation in that delivery.
The cables and fine weather led to a
weak start. and Canadian wheat was
1,554,000 bushels more than ever before
The Hungarian market was authorta-
lively estimated at 1882 1000 bushels, as
against 1895 900 bushels last year. Many
resting orders to buy on a dip came to
place and caused a reaction somewhat
more than the early decline.
Shorts who oversold at the outset were
also forced to buy. New crop news from
the southwest interviewed roughly at this
juncture. Acute weakness set in and
tho close was easy at only slight rally.
September f1uctuated between SSas@SS1kc
and s97sc and closed at SS5sc.
Fine weather and increasing offerings
from the interior made corn weak. The
range for September was from 571a to
5SAc, with the close easy at 57ss@57%c, a
net decline of &c.
Cash grades were in some instances
cent off. No. 2 yellow closed at 5S@5S1sc.
Because of selling. by farmers. and on
account of lack of support the oats mar
ket declined. Prices varied between 35l4 q
34ssc, closing at the first-named figures,
a net loss of 1ac.
The western hog run today was way off
the total year ago. In consequence
pork closed 121ac to 15c lower; lard, sc
and ribs 21kc to &c.
