STILL AFTER SOUTHERN.
The association decided after con-
siderable discussion to keep after the
plan Of getting the Rock Island
Southern to run its passenger
coaches into the heart OF the city,
instead Of stopping them on the out
skirts. The merchants see no need
Of the company's keeping its cars out
Of the city pending a settlement Of
the belt line proposition. However,
as the belt line is the best solution
Of the difficulty, committee of FIVE
was appointed by the president and
the Rock Island club was called upon
to appoint q similar committee TO
confer with the trustees Of the belt
line in an effort to get a settlement
OF some sort in short order. The
members Of the committee which is
to represent the Business Mems as
ISOLATION are: H. z. Casteel, ". n.

and F. H. Rockwell
BOOSTERS ALL READY.
A committee consisting Of Simon
Mosenfelder, Charles Con and E. B.
Kreis was appointed to make final
arrangements for the booster trip
which Is to be made early in May
along the route of the Rock Island
Southern. From present indications
there will be at least $50 on the
jaunt, most Of them actively engag-
ed in business in Rock Island. The
Rock Island Southern has asked per-
mission to be hosts Of the occasion.
They road will furnish the cars and
give the boosters their dinner at the
Colonial hotel in Monmouth The
plans as contemplated now include
the taking along of brass band and
a considerable quantity of advertis-
ing matter from the various stores.
The idea is to allow the business men
to get acquainted with the people
along the route Of the Rock Island
Southern between this city and Mon
mouth. Stops will be made at each
of the villages and hamlets along the
way.
