BOY is INJURED BY
BLANK CARTRIDGE
Premature Celebration of Fourth Re-
suits in Sunday Accident
Hand Lacerated.

The first Fourth Of July accident
occurred last night about 10 o'clock
when a 16-year-old lad shot himself
in the palm of his left hand with a
blank cartridge. The boy was down
On the levee front playing with a toy
revolver. He had no shells, but mau
aged to procure three blanks from a
bystander by paying 10 cents for
them. In loading one of the car
tridges into the revolver he pulled
the trigger too soon and the wadding
and the powder was shot into his
hand. A physician was summoned
and the lad was taken to the police
was dressed. The hand was badly
lacerated but prompt treatment
makes it seem that blood poison will
be avoided. The police did not secure
the name of the boy.
Mayor McCaskrin states that he
will seize the first accident that oc-
ours for issuing orders preventing
the use of the dangerous kinds of
fireworks. He says that he is busy
trying to raise money for a safe and
sane celebration of the day by putting
off a considerable quantity of fire
works on the levee where everyone
can see the display. He and Warren
H. Reck made a round of the bust
ness houses Saturday evening and
about $3.50 was collected towards the

ton. I'VE may have something to give
out tomorrow he said.
The Union Electric was established
in the three cities eight years ago, and
never has been a winner, partially be.
cause the people did not give it the
support they thought they would and
partly because of its lack of outside
connections. 1t has a fine modern
building on Fourth avenue, and it is
not impossible, If the Central Union
gets the property with the consent of
the council, it will move its plant there,
abandoning the one on Nineteenth.
which has outgrown the requirements
of its expanded service.
News to Him, Says Mann.
w. d. Mann of Indianapolis, gen.
eral solicitor for the Central Union
Telephone company, arrived in Rock
Island this morning. He is here to
attend al meeting tonight of the Mo-
line city council at which an ordi-
nance renewing and extending the
franchise of the Central Union will
be offered for passage. 1t is the de-
sire of the company to have its fran
form as to the period of existence.
$50 far as l know there are no nego-
tiations of my company and the I'm
ion Electric here" Mr., Mann said,
"and it is likely / would have some
knowledge of the deal if one were
on. The officers of the Union Elec-
trio company would not come to Rock
Island to sell their plant to the Cen
trail Union. They would more likely
do business in Indianapolis, where
our head offices are located. They
may have something on their mind,
but we are not in the least inter-
ested." Mr.. Mann intimated that he
would be disappointed if the Union
Electric representatives were not at
the meeting of the Moline council
this evening in an effort to block the
passage of the Central Union ordi-
nance in the hope of forcing a con-
solidation.
Side of the Public.
How public sentiment would view the
remains to be seen There
are those who object to the expense of
two separate telephones.
and there are those who are averse to
an absolute monopoly in the telephone
field. All would probably depend upon
what proof the Central Union would
offer of prompt and reliable service, its
rates having already been fixed by the
council in the ordinance adopted last
spring.

NEAR-BEER MUST PAY
TAX, SAYS GOVERNOR
Will Soon Take Definite Steps to En-
fore Collection

Definite action looking toward an
enforced collection of the near-beer
tax may be expected within short
while from Governor Brown.
Since reports have been coming to
the governor that nearbeer dealers in
many sections of the state show
disposition to ignore the near-beer tax
law the chief executive has taken the
matter under consideration.
Governor Brown has not determined
the course of action he viii take IN
collecting the tax. He may appoint
one inspector fer the entire state, as
he did last year, or he may appoint an
for each county in which
near-beer is sold. In either event the
duty of the inspector will be TO see
to it that every person selling or
manufacturing near-beer shall have
paid his state license and in cases
where failure to pay the tax is noted
under the statute will be
instituted.

A DELIGHTFUL CONCERT.
Large Audience Greeted the Schuberts
at Grand Last Night.

Last evening at the Grand the Schu-
bert Symphony Club and the Lady
Quartet of Chicago gave beautiful
entertainment, which was under the
auspices of the ladies OF st. Marks
Episcopal church. The playhouse was
packed and the audience was very
appreciate one.
The entire company deserves the
highest praise for the great success of
the concert.
The first. number was March Nup-
tial" (Mendelssohn) and was sung by
the lady quartet. The selection was
beautifully rendered and the quartet
responded to an encore with another
selection.
Miss Weatherington gave charm
ing monoIogue, The Dumb Waiter"
and her grace and beauty voice and
expression make her one of the fore
most readers ever seen in this city.
The violin solo. Gypsy Fantasie,
by Thomas Valentine Purcell, was
beautiful. He plays with sympathy
and feeling and has been from child
hood a violin player of unusual ability.
Miss Leeta Corder sang the soprano
solo, Aria from "Rigoletto' in a mag
nifiicent style Her voice is clear and
of fine range and sweetest melody.
The Schubert Symphony Club was
next heard in Fond Memories" This
was a medley specially arranged for
the company and was easily one OF
the features Of the program.
One of the prettiest numbers was
a mandolin solo. Concerto rendered
by Mr.. Purcell. Mrs. Purcell sang q
pretty contralto solo, Non e Yer"
which was we'll received.
Other delightful numbers were rem
dered by various members of the COM
and in each instance the audience WIS
literel with applause. The program
closed with a grand finale. Sunlight
'Twilight'' and Morning" by the in
struments and voices of the company.
The club is a remarkable one. The
manager, E. H. Purcell, is the compos-
er of many songs. He is also the an
thor of "The Californian" Virginia
Tales" and other stories.
The concert was a great success IL
nancially. as well as otherwise, the IA
dies realizing a neat sum for t1e

A., 3. G. A. Being Assisted in Their
Work for This Section by the

,Glynn County.

The United States government, at
the suggestion of Senator A. S. Clay,
has entered into active cooperation
with the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad in demonstrating the
agricultural possibilities of south
Georgia by means of experiments on
the model farm the railroad is con-
Quoting with the famous Byron cor
poration at Byromville, in Dooly
county.
The governments aid in the great
work of opening the wiregrass region
to truck farming and other agricul-
tura lpursuits is being applied through
the agricultural department at Wash
ington An expert on soils has al
ready made a trip over the region EN-
braced in the experimental efforts OF
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
road and a complete analysis OF the
soils, together with the products that
can be raised on them, has been pub
1ished by the department and issued
as Bulletin No. 81, In addition to
this bulletin, which relates partisular-
lv to the soils Cf Glynn county and the
OTHERS of similar composition through
out the territory, the government
through Senator Clay, has sent spec
ial shipment of cotton seed and gard
en- truck seed to be used on the By
rom model farm to demonstrate the
accuracy of the analysis and at the
same time the productiveness OF the
soil.
The experiments with these seed
together with the results to come
from the 1910 operations of the scien-
tifc farmers at Byromville, will, OF
course. be watched with considerable
interest by all the people of south
-Ge rgia and those Who contemplate
locating in that section of the state.
The Atlanta. Birmingham and Allan
tic through Passenger Agent W. H.
Leahy will keep complete record OF
the experiments and send the results
out from time to time in circular form'
The bulletin published on the soils
. of South Georgia by the government
gives a glowing account OF the possi-
bilities of the section for truck farm
ing. It states that the soil is pecal-
iarly adapted to the raising Of celery,
and contains the surprising announce
ment that these lands are as well suit
ed to this purpose as those about San
ford, Fla, where $1,000 an acre is the
average price of the land.
The railroad officials are highly graf
fled at the active cooperation of the
government and state as their bellet
that it will eventually bring about the
complete subjection of the wiregrass
region to the highly profitable truck
farming industry.

MONTHS AGO, is NOW TO
BE ENFORCED.

Alderman Ludwig's pet ordinance,

the buildings effected comply with the
provisions of the ordinance.
Work was yesterday started on a
fire escapse at the building occupied
by the Brunswick Bank and Trust
Company, which is the first to be
started, but it is understood that work

escapes on such building as those dsed
as lodge rooms, armories, etc, and al
together there are only several in the

HOWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOWS
Elephant Worth $4,000 is Carried BY
the Circus.

"A large elephant as gentle as a
kitten and trained to act in the ring
like our Babe is wCrth 100000 or
even more. | very much doubt if the
management would take $4,000 for
Duchess. From a commercial point Of
view, very few men are worth as much
as such elephants.
ut is a pity that the elephant can
not express himself by means of ar
ticIlate speech. He is certainly the
most intelligent of beasts. He has a
brain two and a half times the size
Of that of man, and, what is still
more significant, it is richly ccnyo-
luted. He learns readily and never
fOrgetS. He is not mere cipher OF
other mems thought and acts, either,
but when occasion demands he can
do his own thinking. In India some
years ago an elephant chanced to fall
into a pit There was some lumber
and odd pieces of wood at its bottom.
After some deliberation he went to
work and made a pile of lumber and
wood; then, ascending to its top was
able to climb out of the pit.
Nor has the circus department been
neglected fer more special feature
acts will be offered than ever before
enlivened with new and amusing an
tics by over two score OF funny
clowns.
The big show will exhibit at Bruins
wick Tuesday, April 5th.

FIREMEN HAD QUITE A BUSY
TIME OF 1T EARLY THIS
MORNING.

Two fire alarms were sounded In
rapid succession this morning and be-
fore the department had returned to
headquarters from one blaze they had
to respond to another
The first alarm came in shortly af-
tier O'Clock and sent the department
way out in Brooklyn, where small
house was on fire. The blaze was
soon eXtinguished with a small dam
age. Most of the household goods
were saved.
While the department was returning
from this fire another alarm was sent
in from box 20, corner of Lee and Lon
don and again a small house was on
fire, and was considerably damaged
before it was eXtingaished although
the department did good work after
it arrived.

Local fishermen evidently rested un-

characters were sent, telephcned ana
brought to the Office last night. In
each instance, however, a reporter
carefully took the facts with thanks,

fake stories will probably 6e niue
fooled when they look over the paper
fer their stories.
One fisherman landed a monstercoW

BIG HAULS BEING MADE
AT NEW FISHING GROUND

Local fishermen are having a great
time of it at present pulling in trout
at the new fishing ground discovered
some time since out near the bar and
some cf the biggest hauls of trout ever
made in these waters have been made
during the past few days.
1t is said that the fish are so plen-.
tiful that they bite at anything used
for bait and often two or three are
pulled in at one time. The largest
haul Of the week was made by one
boat with five fishermen, when nearly
fifteen hundred pounds were landed.
1t is understood that one Of the steam
ers will operate an excursionS-o the
