PARK VALUES To
Be A SURPRISE
Commissioner Bear, in Taking
Inventory, Finds That the
Figures Run High.
LONG VIEW WORTH 500, 1000
Were 1t on the Market Ii Would
Probably Bring Twice That
Amount

This morning Contractor George Ev-
ans began work in the Denkmann
park. and within few weeks the first
improvement on the fifth park in Rock
Island will be completed. Some 5000
square feet of cement walk at an ap-
proximate cost of $1,000 will be laid
and then the improvements on the
square will be discontinued till next
spring when the landscape gardener
will begin to beautify the land with the
setting in of trees and shrubbery with
which the walks will be lined. When
the park is completed Rock Island
will have five of the prettiest parks
in any city of its size.
ARE WORTH CONSIDERABLE.
When Commissioner Jonas Bear
submits his report on the value OF the
Rock Island park system, the figures
will be surprisingly high even though
his estimate will be most conserva-
tive. For instance. Long View park,
with its 40 acres of the prettiest and
best kept land in this vicinity, will be
appraised at something over $100,00
and the estimate at that will not more
than half cover its real value. The
land is worth some few thousands per
acre and the improvements on it are
considerable. The East End park is
still receiving attention and by the
time it is completed it will be praotic-
ally as valuable in comparison to size
as is Long View. Then there is
Spencer square in the heart OF the city
and Garnsey square in the west end,
both of which are in excellent condi-
ton.

SOLDIERS WILL
HAVE TOBACCO
Five Thousand Pounds of it Received
For One Camp of the
Army.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March Ia
That Uncle Sam expects 10000 OF his
soldiers TO smoke up" while in camp
at Fort Sam Houston near this city
to engage in three-months military
was emphasized when 5000
pounds of popular brand of smoking
tobacco was delivered at the commits
sary. That the pipe is not popular with
the soldiers was shown by a large
part OF the consignment consisting of
tobacco for cigarette purposes. To in
sure that tas 'makings" would be
complete in all details, the tobacco
was accompanied by almost half a
ton of cigarette papers. This consign-
ment of smoking material was the
largest ever made to the port here
and gives some notion of how univer-
sal smoking is in the United States
army. The time was when soldiers
in the regular army were served with
an allowance of chewing tobacco each
week. In the past twenty-five years,
the smoking habit has become SO gen
eral that the government has added
smoking tobacco as part of the com
missary.

CANNOT FIND
BURNED CORPSE
Search of Ruins Of Barn at LaBele,
Mo. Fail to Locate Any
Body

LA BELLE, Mo-. March IA I'm
availing search has been made in the
ruins OF the Charles Cain livery, burn
ed Saturday night, for the body of an
nown person supposed to have
been victim of the blaze, the origin
of which still is a mystery.
Though the rumor is as yet uncon-
tirmed, several men are said to have
seen a man in the haymow only short
ly prior TO the time of the fire. 1t is
said that this man whose identity is
unknown, was intoxicated Ii is be-
lieved that he did not make his es-
cape.
Figures now obtained show that the
actual fire loss Saturday night was
less than $4,000 Insurance amount
ing to $4,000 secured the property
owners from serious loss. Mills, the
owner of the mill property, was the
heaviest loser. He had s1,10o nsur.
ance on building and stock valued at
$3.50,
At the Cain building there was 81,
400 insurance. The S. G. Ross poultry
house also was insured and the loss
now said to have totaled less than
5000, was covered.

paign has been vigorous one. with
IA candidates in the field for COM

as to the outcome. Men from every
walk of life are found on the ticket
and have presented their claims
through various forms of advertising.
The strict laws governing the attitude

and their adherents 1t is predicted
that one OF the largest votes of the
city will be polled today.

MANY LIVES
Old Treste Over Charlton River Was
Wrecked by Freight Train
and Made un-
safe.

KIRKSV1IIE, Mo-. March 14--O. K.
passenger train No. |, leaving Kinks
vile at 1922 a. M. each morn
ing, was saved from wreck on the
long trestle over Pembert lake by
James Marion Hanlin, 17-year old
farmer boy, who saw where part
of the bridge had given way and
tagged the engineer He remained
in the middle of the track until the
engineer almost ran him down, but
he stopped the train
The passengers We're delayed two
hours in reaching Novinger. until a
bridge gang had made repairs. but
they showered the lad with thanks,
and the trainmaster who chanced to
be aboard, took down his name and
address, and he will probably hear
from the company.
Young Hanlin lives just this side
of the Charlton river and in the
morning he had been to Novinger.
He walked along the track towards
his home, behind the morning freight
train. AS he came to the long tres
tie he saw that heavy wooden blocks,
which supported the stringer upon
which the ties are laid, had rotted
and that after the freight train passed
over they had been crushed, and the
caboose had thrown one of the rails
out of place. The blocking had been
done when it was decided to raise
the grade of the track without re-
building the bridge.
Young Hanlin knew that no train
would probably be along for an hour
so he hastened home and left some
parcels and then returned with his
younger brother, Fred. aged Is.
When the passenger train came
along he stopped it nea. the cas-
end of the Charlton river bridge, {
hundred yards from the break in tht
track. The old trestle ov.ar the Lake
is about ten feet above the water il
the lake. The waite" is only abou
three feet deep. the lake having de
generated into a slough, but it wa
enough to have drowned injured pas
4 sengers had the train gone off tn,
track. The engineer remarked afte
he saw the break that the train woul'
surely have plunged of the trestl'
had il not been tagged, and the raj
was not far enough from its prope
place TO have attracted attention
Then too. the track is steep dow
grade from Kirksyille to Novinge
and the engine makes fast time.
Fred Hanlin said today that Will
his brother was out tagging TIL
train he saw several mon come alon
the broken place, look at it, an
then climb UP an embankment an
, from the top Of it 10 watch to see wha
would happen.

LONG LIVE THE HAREM
New style Notes Say Gowns Must be
coIored Like the Rainbow
or Like Easter

CHICAGO, March IA forlorn-
looking object tripped into the Palm
er House dressed in deep mourning.
She was going to her own funeral,
which was held last night by the mem
bers of the Chicago Dressmakers
Club. There were few mourners for
the dejected-looking object was
no other than our old friend. Miss
Hobble Skirt.
The hobble is dead; long live the
harem skirt and it's little brother, the
pasha skirt, was the cry raised by
the hundreds Of fashionable modistes,
who are gathered at the Palmer
House for the dressmakers' conven-
| ton, which opened last evening.
From all descriptions of the real
harem skirt and of the pasha that
could be cleaned from the dictators
of women's fashions, it appears
the departing hobble was only poor,
tame, spiritless thing, which should
have been strangled to death long
ago. Now the harem and the pasha,
say the dressmakers, are something
"spirited, stylish, pleasing to the eye
noticeable and comfortableg
But before Nine. Ripley, president
of the club, would give out any infor
nation regarding the harem and
pasha, she declared the dressmakers
and women of fashion had chosen 6
! good. homely. old-fashioned name FOL
the new skirt.
I There is no coy hesitancy in the
name chosen. 1t stands out in bole
relief, as follows: Pantaloon skirt.
Society women christened the
skirt" said Nine. Ripley. The pant
aloons on the skirt will show for sew
eral inches below the hem of the skir
proper. BY the way, this year ne
woman will be able to put her skir
on over her head. The skirts viii

An Underground Stream Flows Be-
meath the Ground and Furnishes
Water supply for
Galesbura.
IS PROVEN BY TESTS
One Well Furnishes 500 Gallons Per
Minute With No Signs of
Supply Being Ex-
hausted.

GALESBURG, H.. March l4.-That
an unde "round river flowing with
resistles. sorce and furnishing an in
exhaustihle supply of water is the
cause OF the phenomenal flow from
the two wells owned BY the city in
the field east OF the waterworks, is
the firm opinion OF Supt of Water
Johnson. For ten months one we'll has
been furnishing the city steady eight
inch stream of water. never varying
and always flowing with the same
force, six hundred gallons to the
minute. Since the pump has been tut
in commission in the companion we'll
few yards away that has been Civ
ing similar amount of water
Supt. Johnson explained his opinion
OF the supply by stating that he be-
lieved there was an underground riv-
er which had been tapped by the
wells. IN tell you why | believe
that to be the case" he said When
we dug that well and before the pump
was installed, | fastened a fire hose
on hydrant and ran it down the hole
and then had fire pressure put on at
the plant. We tried TO fill UP the hole
but our efforts were fruitless for as
fast as the water flowed in, it disap-
/ poared. This shows concHsively to
my mind that there is an underground
river flowing there which carried away
the water as fast as it went in from
the hose. Ii the source OF supply had
been a lake, the water would have
risen and the hole filed up. Again 1t
would be practically impossible for
+ any underground pocket or lake of
water to furnish the amount which
has been pumped from there daily for
4 the past ten months
In this connection it must be borne
in mind that the well is shallow
eight inch driven we'll but Il feet deep
and that it would have been no very
difficult matter to have filed up the
hole from the hydrant but for some
phenomenon as that suggested by the
superintendent of water
