The well known confectionery firm
of Coin Bros. at 329 Twentieth street
are leaving nothing undone to assist
in increasing the business prestige of
a greater Rock Island and at the same
time placing at the disposal of their
patrons and friends the very best SER
vice afforded by the confectionery
world.
The members of this firm have in
stalled one of the finest sets of fix
lures and equipment to be found west
of Chicago. First of all is the iceless
soda fountain which represents the
highest achievement of the fountain
builders art Marble. onyx stained
glass, fine cabinet work and electrical
illumination effects combine TO make
it a thing of beauty and utility rarely
met with in cities of this size or even
larger A glance sufices to inform the
observer that a great sum of money
has been invested in order to place
the store in such an up to date condi-
ton The gentlemen of the firm be
lieve in naught but the best of every
thing and have spared no expense In
equipping their establishment in such
a way that a well earned patronage
may be catered to.
These gentlemen who have been es-
tablished in the confectionery bust
ness close to a score of years are past
masters in the art pertaining to it. A
personal visit to their new store viii
convince you that such a thing as

purchases form an important part in
a business of this kind which In turn
proves the necessity for close atten-
ton and civiIity. Why say more?

WORKHOUSE FOR
COUNTY FAVORED
Rock Island Committee I'M
pressed by Investigation
at Peoria.
80 PRISONERS ENGAGED
Are Found Employed Breaking Rock
Thereby Paying for Their
Keep

When the city and county officials
from Rock Island and Moline, who Wis
| tied Peoria yesterday for the purpose
of investigating the workhouse used by
the city and county there, reports to
the bodies which they represent, it is
most probable that action will follow
furthering plans for the establishment
of a workhouse in Rock Island county.
Each member of the committee was i'm
pressed by the importance Of this
movement.
In Peoria there are no natural con-
ditions TO aid in the conduct Of the
workhouse, and in order TO secure
rock and other material on which to
work it is necessary to transport it for
considerable distance. This adds to
the expense of the undertaking there,
but even so the workhouse has proven
a success. When the local officials
visited the workhouse they found so
prisoners there at work crushing rock
The officials were informed that of this
number very few were "repeaters,"
for when once a man has had taste Of
the work in the county bastile he is
SClACl any 6l1u ChO06A ~ CSNopS ~ anu
so will observe the majesty OF the law.
However, it is impossible to entirely
eliminate the "repeaters." At the same
time there were but 20 prisoners IN the
county jail and none at all in the city
jail. The cost Of keeping the prisoners
Is nominal, and the labor which they
perform more than pays the board
bills.
GOOD MORAL EFFECT.
With several possible sites IN Rock
Island so situated that a workhouse
might be erected close to stone quar-
~, the committee is certain that the
undertaking would soon pay for itself,
and furthermore would have a good
moral effect upon the community. It
is the intention TO SO conduct It that
there will be no conflict with union
labor. The principal form OF work will
be the crushing OF rock to be used for
concrete work. The county at present
pays to the sheriff 80 cents per day for
the keep Of each prisoner. At present
there is no way to receive any return
on this item, but under the new sys-
tenn there would be a way for profit
It is a matter which will probably
be put up TO the people, for the com
mittee feels that without cooperation
Of the public IL viii be impossible to
make II successful S. r. Wright of

NO MORE POLITICS
IN MOLINE: CARLSON
New Mayor of Moline Talks in Chi
cago About New Government
in His City.

Mayor Martin r. Carlson. mayor of
Moline, and the first mayor OF that
city under the commission form, has
been visiting in Chicago. The Record
Herald says:
Mayor Carlson predicts that IN
der the new government Moline will
experience a period OF unrivaled pros
perity. He asserts that in the short
time the commission form has been
in vogue the wheels Of government
have moved more smoothly than ever
before and that citizens OF the city
are well satisfied with the change.
Among the things Mayor Carlson
says the commission form does are:
Expedites the business of the city.
Eliminates politics from all NUM-
cipal affairs and permits city en-
ployes to be selected with regard to
their merits. Compels the mayor and
city commissioners to devote not few
er than six hours daily to the city's
business. Places the mayor and four
commissioners in direct control of all
city business and makes them direct
~ responsible to the people for the
performance Of their duties.
The new form Of government is
still young in Moline but it has al
ready demonstrated It's worth" said
Mayor Carlson. Politics in munich
pal affairs has been done away with
and the mayor and commissioners
have no bosses to dictate TO them.
When they want work done they ask
no ones consent, but go ahead

WOMAN is HIT IN
A STORE BATTLE
Business Associates Quarrel in
Fourth Avenue Tailor
Shop.
BIG AUDIENCE LOOKS ON
Mrs. Harry Erbstein Receives a Blow
on the Jaw During the
Mixup.

It was some lively row that the Rock
Island police were called upon to queil
yesterday afternoon at o'clock, and a
huge crowd had been attracted by it
The scene was the tailor shop at 2045
Fourth avenue, and the principal &C,
tors in it were Joe Wafface, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Erbstein and George Lund-
quist. George Anderson also had a
hand in the affair. but he had no inter
est in the lively part of the scene. In
fact, the whole row started after an
argument which Anderson had had
with Erbstein All four men have
some sort of interest in the tailor
shop. Some of them wanted to relieve
Erbstein of his stock in it, but he re-
fused TO be relieved. Wallace and
Lundquist were for taking his keys
away from him forcibly and when
they said as much. Erbstein, with his
wife, started for more friendly neigh
borhoods. Before he got started, how
ever, he (Erbstein) informed Wallace
that he would get even. Wallace an
swered the remark by punching Erb-
stein. And then the fight began in
earnest. Before the smoke of the con-
fiict had cleared, Mrs. Erbstein was
struck on the jaw by Lundquist
TWO MEN ARE FINED.
The police had been notified of the
affair and Officer Sydney Pearson hur-
ried to the place. He arrested Wal
lace and Lurdquist. Wallace was fin
ed SO and costs for striking Erbstein
1t cost Lundquist just five times that
amount for the assault of Mrs. Erb-
stein. Both paid their fines and the
COSTS and vera released

INDEBTED TO A LIVERY
Under the Influence of Drink, He is
Taken in and Team Put Up
for Night.

Such unmitigated nerve as was dis
played at the city police station this
morning had never been paralleled
heretofore, and to say that the Off
GERS OF the force ana police court were
somewhat taken back by it. is putting
it mildly. One Patrick Mccormick
who halls from Tampico, a village &c
the northwest, breezed into Rock Is
land last evening. He was driving 9
rather good team and was riding on q
wagon such as is used for hauling dirt
1t was rather late when he reached
this city, and possibly the darkness
frightened him. At any rate, he lost
his way. In fact, when he tried to
find it, he left his wagon in order to
unable to locate the team and wagon
then. He had evidently paid several
visits to "hop'' parlors, for his condi-
ton was far from sober. He was
apprehended shortly before IL o'clock
by two police officers. They rounded
up the team and brought it to the
station, together with the owner. In
the wagon were about two dozen emp
ty beer cases which Mccormick in
tended to dispose OF at a local brew
cry. The team was housed at a Hv-
cry stable for the night, and McCor-
mick was held at the station.
This morning Mccormick was sum
moned before Police Magistrate C. ].
Smith. After hearing the case, the
magistrate decided TO leave the man
go, on promise of good behavior. He
was directed to the livery barn to get
his team. He soon returned to the
jail, and said that he was out of funds,
and would like to borrow a dollar to
pay for the keep of the team. None
of the philanthropists around the Jail
felt like paying for the horses keep,
so Mccormick had to devise other
means to obtain their release
TRIAL IS CONTINUED.
Because no witnesses appeared this
morning to corroborate the testimony
in the Einfeldt-Hofman case in the
police court, the case was continued
till Saturday morning May Is. Last
week, upon complaint of Mrs. Carrie
Hoffman, Mrs. Lena Einfeldt was ar
rested on charge Of disorderly con-
duct. The case was continued till to-
day. It is charged in the complaint
that Mrs. Einfeldt threatened to beat
the complainant and used abusive
language in making the threat.
