The lawyer asked him If he could get
any more of the banks money before

first did not know what the attorney
meant. He explained. He had to have
a fee, and it had to be large one,

taking another $4,000 would not add
to bis crime. The bargain was made.
The cashier drew down another $105

The lawyer went to the bank pres1-

THOSE WITH THE DOPE.

OF those interviewed last Saturday
for opinions on the outcome of the
Jeffries-Johnson mill at Reno only
two, Gus Tegeler and H. o Rolls, had
the correct dope, although w. o. Negus
insists that he was on the right side.
Mr.. Tegeler said Saturday: at must
be pretty difficult for a man to keep
his mind on his work in Reno, with
all the beauties from the east who are
reported to be fitting about waiting
the grind of the divorce mill. But I
understand Jeff and Johnson both have
their wives with them. I'll play the
black in this instance" Mr.. Tegeler
confesses to winning $25 bet.
H. o. Rolls said:
I'm watching the weather. If it's
cloudy, you know what that means. -
He claims the sun was obscured by a
dark cloud momentarily just as the
men were about to enter the ring. He
is talking of an extended vacation,
and that lends color to a suspicion
that he did pretty well.
w. o. Negus said:
When l was in Chicago last week

not giving out any tips yet. When the
time comes may decide to let few
of my friends in. l have not deter
mined how / shall invest my earn

Would Kill Wife's Affinity.-With
large rock in his hand and shouting
at the top of his voice, which shouts
were mild when compared to the fug
tive in the case, Louis Corners,
Thursday night shortly before 10
o'clock, created a stir on East Second
street, near the entrance to the gov
eminent bridge, by chasing an I'M
known man several blocks, shouting
that he would kill him, before Of
fcer Randolph appeared on the scene
and arrested Corners. Yesterday
Corners appeared in police court and

other man, whose name is not known.

MOLINE

Big Postoffice Gain.-Three remark
able gains were made by the Moline
postoffice during the fiscal year which
ended June 80 last: The postal re-
ceipts increased $z9,4S754 over the
figures for 1909. The increase in do
nestle and international money orders
was $89,106.S5. The international
money orders issued amounted to
$l00,038.04, almost double the amount
for help. The postal receipts, which
include sales of stamps and stamped
paper in 1910 amounted to $131, 345.9S,
as compared with $101, 85S.44 in 1903.
The total receipts include $15,S7S.O4,
which was paid for stamps and stamp
ed paper sold by the Moline Office for
use in other cities. Some of the fac
tories supply their branch houses
with stamps from the Moline office.
These sales are not included in de-
termining the salary of the postmaster
and assistant postmaster. The money
order figures for the fiscal year pre-
sent some interesting features. Espe-
cially do they emphasize that with
postal stations distributed about the
city the public at large each year feels
less and less necessity for visiting the
main office. The totals for the fiscal
year ended June so show that the
seven postal stations of Moline issued
1898 orders aggregating $133, 473.40
as compared with II ,S75 orders aggre-
eating $92,312.9S. In other words, the
seven stations report a gain of 5.133
orders and $36,S23.O3; the main Office
gained only Is orders and $4,066.46
during the year.

filling a long felt need This bureau,
in beginning operations, is undertake
ing what the manufacturers have up
to this time been unable to do-solve
the housing and rooming problem in

check the increasing exit from the city
of skilled workmen and others whose
retention would benefit the commun-
ity. and who are a necessity to the
manufactures. According to the pro-
moter of the bureau this can only be
done by placing desirable rooms and
houses at disposal of workmen. The
management of this bureau is blazing

try. there being no similar concern

by the commission in Washington yes
terday are for the purpose of securing

the belief that permission should be

There Is an increasing feeling"
