Abandon Merchants Day. - Unless
there IL q sudden reversal Of opinion
on the part of the members Of the
Moline Retail Merchants association,
there will be no merchants day out
ing this summer. This much was
made evident In the discussion In
Tuesday nights meeting Of the asso-
citation. On account of the warm
weather, only a few of the members
were in attendance. The board OF
directors held a meeting preceding
the regular session. While the as
sociation took no definite action for
or against the observance of mer-
chants day, the staremen's annual
frolic Is as good as abolished. Many
objections have been raised. 1t is
stated that the association lost
money on last years outing, which
was in the form OF an excursion and
picnic to Petersen's island. Those
who were active in promoting the
outing of last summer assert that a
majority of the members did not sup
port their own organization. Some
devoted the day to their own pleas
ure and did not even attend the ex-
cursion. There is also some opposi-
ton from those who do not favor
suspending business. These are in
the minority The matter will come
up for definite settlement in the near
future, probably at the next meet
ing.

Island Light. Fullerton went out a few
days ago in a gasoline launch, carrying
with him his young daughter. When
he came to the range light he left her
alone in the launch, while be went over
to the light in skiff. He must have
moored his skiff insecurely, for whom he
went to return the boat had broken from
it's moorings and was adrift, and as the
child could not manage the launch alone,
Fullerton undertook to swim out to the
child, but sank and drowned before he
could reach her.
Nelson, the lighthouse-keeper, find
ing late in the afternoon that his assist
ant had not returned, and fearing that
something was wrong, climbed up in the
lighthouse tower to take survey OF the
sound. and saw the drifting launch out
near the range light. He went to it in
skiff and found the child alone, from
whom he learned the details of her faith
er's death.

interesting one. Although the ennisy

In substantiating his efforts to isducs
other roads to enter here, copies of let

given, which disproye any disposition
on his part to continue the enterprise

In referring to Edward Hines, Cap

"If Hines had gone ahead and COM

In concluding his letter Captain Jones

Announcement was made at Pasca-
poula that Frank III. Lewis on Wednes-
day received an order for 800 pounds OF
the choicest pecans grown in that sec
ton to be shipped Immediately to Eng
land. Shipment will be made via New
York. The pecan crop in the Pasca-
goula immediate vicinity this year is an
extremely large one. The burrs cracked
open some thirty days earlier than usual
this year and threshing OF pecans COM
menced fully month ahead OF time.
Reports from along the coast, however,
are to the effect that the pecan crop is a
failure, due to the work OF the cater
pillars. Insects wrought little or no
damage around Pascagoula this year.

ice from the Chicago Tribune.
At first, the Times and The Exam

paper by every tactic. known to yellow
journalism, but the paper continued to
live and thrive, and the attacks of the
opposition only made the common peo-
pie like the new paper all the better.

hasn't larger circulation than any
other two morning papers combined.
The Times and the Examiner had
been running newspaper train out over
the Salt Lake Railroad to carry their
papers to San Bernardino, Riverside
and other nearby towns. The Ameri-
can Express Company also operated
car on this train, and the Tribune
promptly began to ship their papers by
express and deliver them in the nearby
towns at the same time that the other
papers were delivered. The Times and
the Examiner appealed to the railroad
company to stop this, but they replied
that they were common carrier and
had contract with the American Ex-
press Company and that they coulo not
dictate to the express company what
class of matter they could, and could
net, handle. The result was, score one
for the new daily. The train was taken
off, and the Tribune opened up an auto

and now delivers papers before the.
