General Chapman regarded the sug-

ly he drew up a rough draft of a gen.

effect. This he laid before General
Logan, who heartily approved Of the
idea.
General Logan suggested that May

ance of Memorial day, his idea being
that at that date spring flowers could
be procured in profusion, even in the
most northern states and in New Eng
land. There We're several conferences
on the subject between General Logan
and General Chapman.

what has since been termed Memorial
day The order was issued early in
May, 1858. and since that time May so
has become a holiday and is observed
by every Grand Army post in the
Union.
General Logan's order, setting May

the day was widespread.
General Logan was elected command

her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares- They have
ample time in which TO prepare, but
they. for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.

MOLINE

New Depot Plans Ordered-Burling-
ton officials have thrown out bids on
present plans for the Moline depot
and are drafting a new set to call
for larger and better equipped
structure. The Burlington depot, as
originally planned, called for an ex-
penditure estimated to range from
$4,000 to $4,000. Ground for the
structure was secured last fall and
the foundation is in place north of
the Burlington right Of way between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets.
When the railway company secured
permission to close certain streets in
the east end of the city it was with
the understanding that the company
would give Moline a station to cost
approximately $4,000. When it
was learned that such a station was
not provided in the original plans
there was a protest on the part of
The result is that specifications for
a more pretentious structure are be-
ing drafted.

suit of the retirement of Oh. Pope

company, but holdings are now suf-
ficient to permit OF the future policy
being directed by the estates execu-
tors, William Butterworth and B. F.
Peek. ]. NJ. Dale has charge of the
plant at the present time and an in
ventory is in progress. Henry Pope,
superintendent of the plant, is con-
Quoting the inventory and he is be-
ing assisted by force of men taken
from the plant. This work will be
completed Wednesday next. Future
plans of the company are not an
nounced at this time. Mr.. Dale will
file a report of the inventory, which
will require a month to compile. Not
till after this report is rendered will
the policy be outlined. 1t is under
stood that the plant will be placed
in operation with expert automobile
men in charge.
Annual Outing Abandoned. - Mer-
chants of Moline will not promote an
outing this year and the plan of haV-
ing merchants day has been aban-
dored entirely. Outings in previoua
years have been under auspices of
the Retail Merchants association.
Usually there has been a steamboat
excursion, followed by a basket pic
mic; the stores were closed and men,
women and children spent the day
merry-making. But interest in these
outings has dwindled in the last few
years with the result that there will
be no special day set aside for an
outing this year. These outings
were started number of years ago."
said Roy o. Green, president of the
Retail Merchants association, while
discussing the decision. THE object
of holding them was to raise funds
for the association. The first few
years the plans worked successfully,
but in the last four or five years we
have been playing for the pleasure.
Interest is lacking and for that rea-
son we have decided to abandon
merchants day" The death blow to
the outings was dealt last August,
when the merchants and their fam
lilies and friends-or rather some Of
them-spent the day on Peterson's
