CLOSE TO OFFICE
IN NATIONAL ORDER
Herman Jessen, Agent of Local
Painters Union. Fourth in
Election at Peoria.

Returns from the election Of the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorat,:rs
and Paperhangers of America show
that Herman Jessen, local business
agent of the Painters union, was fifth
among the long list of candidates fIr
the office Of fourth vice president Of
the national organization. The sho T.
ing Of the local man is a good ore,
considering the fact that this is hfs
first effort to secure Office in the ma
tional association. The eastern locals

and apparently seemed in a cheerful
state of mind. Nobody missed her
until the little wooden shed was in
a mass of flames. A fve-gallon can
of gasoline. which ordinarily stood
on the back porch, was missing, and
after the fire had been extinguished
the can was found beside the bones
OF the girl. It is believed by her
relatives that the girl took her life
while temporarily insane, brought
about through worry over an unsuc-
cessfuI commercial venture. Six
months ago she started grocery
store with her brother-in-law, Frank
Winkler, which has steadily lost
money. Only recently she left hos

breakdown. She has an older broth

year ago, which is believed to have
given her a shock from which she

Thoroughfares This Fall-Work
to Start in Spring.

"As soon as the commission and
board of local improvements can pro-
vide for the completion of the Second
ward sewer system and other i'm
provements in the waterworks sys-
tenn, attention will be turned to the
streets of the city with the object
of repaving the business section
thoroughfares, and paving certain
streets in the residence section the
need of which was emphasized In
The Argus last evening"" was the
statement of Mayor Harry NJ. Schri-
yer in an interview with an Argus
reporter this morning.
Mayor Schriver went on to
board of local improvements,
which was only organized last Satur-
day, could finish matters which were
very urgent in the waterworks de-
partment, other improvements would
be taken up.
MAY START IN SPRING.
II is hardly probable that the work
of repaving Second and Third ave-
nues from Fifteenth to Twentieth
street and Twentieth street from
Second avenue south, will be started
before next spring With the ex-
ception of a few blocks, these thor
oughfares will be the first to be i'm
proved. Saturday morning the board
of local improvements will probably
take up the matter of repaving a por-
tion of Fourth avenue, west of Twen-
tieth street. The block between that
street and Nineteenth street will
have to be repaved sooner or later,
and in order to safeguard the city's
interests. the matter will be taken
up at once.
OTHERS TO FOLLOW.
Gradually, other streets will be
improved.
Another year will probably see the
streets of Rock Island in condition
100 per cent better than today. The
arrangements will be begun at once
and during the winter, contracts will
probably be let and everything in
readiness for work as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the
spring.

Treaty Will Help Illinois

In an interview in Washington, d
c., and published in the Chicago I i
bune yesterday, Senator Shelby NJ. III
ION declares that direct and important
benefits will flow TO the people OF iii
nos from the Canadian lecIprO>.ty
agreement.
Illinois Is more deeply concernet 1
in the promotion Of reciprocity t~a!'.
relations with Canada" the senator
said, than almost any other state. Oar
interests are so diversified, the marke'
for our products, natural and mann:ac
tured. so firmly established, that we
should take advantage Of every bene IT
accruing from freer trade relations
with Canada.
The manufacturers of the state he
explained, enjoy a profitable trade al
present with Canada. and by reducing
the duties on the products Of our indus
trials. We are bound to increase ~ It
trade. AS a manufacturing state I'LL
nois has assumed a position Of gT slt
importance. The census of 1909 shows
we had 1901 establishments, cr1
ploying more than half a million peo-
$780,, $50 600 a year. The value of the
products for 1909 had total value ~
81, ,9Is, ,321 900.
The farmer in Illinois is no long
er raising grain for export Instead, he
is devoting his time and resources -
the raising of corn and other coarse
grains for the development OF the mora
profitable industry Of stock raising.
AS an agricultural state Illinois, IN
1910 ranked second. Our principal pso-
ducts were corn, oats and wheat. Ne
produced more than 13 per cent of the
total corn crop Of the United States, 81
414,sl2, 900 bushels; III 100000 bush

for Ten Years.

Ten long years OF continual booEiug
for William Patchen of Elgin. H., was
brought to an end last night, for i
while at least, when he was placed m.
der arrest by Oficer Mccarthy. AT the
time of the arrest, the man was on
the verge of the delirium tremens nut
after spending the night in the police
station cell, he had partially recovered
from the effects of his spree. He Cas
brought into police court this mornin 9
but TO all of Magistrate c. J. Smith s
questions, he. was unable 10 give a
coherent answer.
CLAIMED TO BE CLOWN.
He told the court that he had been
arrested simply while at work Asked
in regard to his work, he said that he
was a circus clown, dressed as a A.
bo, and sent out on the streets to
drum up trade He was scarcely able
TO understand the import of the terms
of the warrant lodged against him. He
told the judge that he was 80 years
old and that for 10 years, he had no:
seen a perfectly sober day. AT one
time when his drinking had effected
his physical condition, he had abstain
ed from the use of intoxicauts for a
period of FIVE days. His mind gave
way because he was without the stim-
ulant and he found it necessary to go
back to the cup. Since then, his re
has been filed with but one desire -
that to satisfy his craving for liquor
He asserted that he drank anything IN
toxicating, no matter how much OF how
injurious it might be to him.
SENT TO JAIL.
The mans life is in danger. as would
be that Of any man who had gone tie
pace that Patchen has gone for a DC.
cade Of years. 1t might be said tnar
when he was arrested. he had one
foot in the grave. as is shown by his
furtive glances and cringing from imas-
mary sights and sounds. In order
that he may have a chance to recov 4r
both in health and strength, Magis-
trate Smith sentenced him to 80 days
in Jail. During his term-if he lives
he will be given treatment by The

WANT LONG VIEW
LOOP FINISHED
Resolution to Be Presented to
Commission by Robert r.
Reynolds.
COMPANY PRoCRASTINATEs
Has Delayed Work Pending Straight
ening of Twenty-fifth Street
November Limit.

There will probably be presented
to the city commission next Monday
morning a resolution by Commission
er r. r. Reynolds, asking that the
Tri-City Railway company complete
at once the Long View line loop as
outlined in the ordinance granted to
that company more than a year ago.
Some few weeks ago, the company
asked that the route be changed so
that it might provide for the future,
pending certain changes In the mu-
nicipality border line. The matter
was taken up for consideration, but
the council is of the opinion that the
work should be completed as was
designated in the ordinance.
NEAR TIME LIMIT.
According to the terms of the or
dinance, the company is to complete
the loop by November Of the present
year. The line is to be extended
south on Twenty-hfth street to Thir-
teenth avenue, east on Thirteenth
avenue to Thirtieth street, on which
thoroughfare the loop will be COM
pleted at the present terminal at
Fourteenth avenue.
NOT KEEPING AGREEMENT.
Another matter which will prob
ably be taken up for consideration
again. is the service on the Elm
street line. The ordinance says
that the cars shall be run west on
Fourth avenue from Seventh to First
street. but though the ordinance was
granted more than a year ago. the
Elm street cars have never passed
Seventh street on regular schedule.
Complaints have been numerous and
the company has been taken to task
on the matter. The explanation offer
ed by the company is that materia'
for the necessary switches has been
delayed in delivery and so the work
has been held up.
