her dismissal by the grand Sary on
a charge of conducting a house of
i'll repute, Mona Miller was arrested
and brought before Magistrate Rod

charge mentioned and with several
others was brought into court and

and she was accordingly arrested and
assessed heavily.

Boy Beaten.-Because he spent Eve
cents for an ice cream soda, Carl Lar
son, aged IL, was numerically whip
ped Friday afternoon by his stepfath-

legations made this forenoon by the
lad at the police station. On request
of the desk sergeant the little fello-v
removed his clothing and his BODY
was found TO be covered with black
and blue marks. The lad asserts that
his stepfather whipped him with
chain and kicked him several times.
There are marks on his hips nearly as
large as mans hand and these were
caused from kicks, he says. Mrs

took him TO the police station. Ed
mund will be summoned to the police
station for a talk with the officers,

ferred against him.
Would Spend $26e, o69. S5.-An ordi-

was reported to the city commission
yesterday and was given its first read
ing by City Attorney Shallberg. AT
conclusion of the reading it was laid
over till next Monday. The total sum
appropriated is S26S, 06S.35, which is
q
lists ever prepared by Moline city Off
Gals. This figure is considerably in
excess of cash that will be available
during the year-S219, 000-and ii mas
thus be seen that in making their eX-
penditures the city commissioners Will
have to refrain from going the limit of
their appropriations. The idea in es-
timating proposed expenditures al
such a high figure was ito be on the
safe side" according to an eXplana:
ton of why's and wherefOres given out
to the newspapers after the council
meeting. The administration sets
forth that, during its last year in CT
fee. the last administration made eX-
penditures of $245,517.S3, which sum
was $19,246.O9 in excess OF the re
ceipts for the fiscal year, the result be
ing that it was necessary TO make al
lowances, in this years appropria-
tons, for payment of the 1910 bills.

BERWYN TO HAVE

HUSTLlNG LITTLE CITY TO CON.
STRUCT MODERN SYSTEM AT
ONCE.

The little city of BcrWyn, twelve
miles to the north OF us, is pre-
pairing TO take on metropolitan airs.
Yestel day Mr., Hugh Suggs was in
the city from there and stated that
he came down to invite the city en-
gineer TO make trip mp there and
furnish plans and estimates for the
construction of an UP to date water
works system suitable TO the needs
OF the Berwyn citizens
MIR. Myers will leave for there in
the morning and look The situation
over and report to them later.
Mr.. Suggs stated that for very
small outlay the people of Berwyn
could have ample fire protection. The
city owns a never-failjus well upon
,hc nu overlooking the city, where
forty-ponnd pressure could be OBJ
tanned by storing into standpipe or
water tower. and he states that one
thousand feet of watec wains will

rates in Berwyn which are not very
high at present, owing TO the fact
that majority of the business houses

VALUABLE GOODS
PICKED Up IN RAID
IN RAID ON A "HOP JOINT" OF
FlCERS SEIZE THREE TRUNKS
OF VALUABLE CLOTHING.

One night last week the police
rounded up a hop joint on lower
East Main street and seized the lay
ont, together with one of the sup
posed proprietors, and confiscated ev-
eryShing about the place and brought
the stuff to the police station.
There were two negroes in the
place when tine police forced an en-
trance, and they showed a spirit OF
resistance that compelled the officers
to resort 10 stern methods. One OF
the negroes, while the officers were
attending to the other, made a break
for liberty, and succeeded in bolt
ing through the door and closing II
after him, and before the police
could open the door he was too far
away 20 be recapturcd. They took 4
couple of shots al him, but the bul-
lets went wild and he escaped.
Among the other things confiscat-
Ell in the raid were three trunks
that one OF the negroes said belong
ed to his wife, buc where his wils
was he refused to tell. The trunk
was filled with ali kinds OF fihe
clothes, some OF oriental patterns,
and among other things a couple of
fine ostrich plumes, that a local
merchant here said were worth al
least $75. 1t is estimated that the
approximate value of the contents OF
the three trunks is something in
the neishborhood of $500, and the
officers are confident that most of
it was stolen. They are holding the
trunks for the owner to call and
claim them. but are confident that
the wife story given by the negro,
who save his name as Lee, is all
myth.
He was turned over to the county
officials. as smoking opium is an of
fense that comes within the iurisdic-
tion of the county court.

Early Morning Blaze.

Early this morning the department
was called to the corner of Douglass
boulevard and 18th street, southeast,
to extinguish a blaze in the residnec
OF Mr.. Eaker, one of the city mail
carriers. @
The fire originated from an explod-
ing lamp and as it cut Mr.. Baker off
from the phone in the room the alarm
was late in getting to the station and
when they finally arrived the building
was so far consumed that it is total
loss. Mr.. Baker and one of the chill
dren were severely burned during the
excitement. Scarcely an article was
saved from the fire, and there was but
a small insurance on the building and
contents.

CITY HOPE BEFORE THE SES-
SION FAIRLY BEGINS.

\ fair sized crowd went to Lorena
Park last night TO witness the box
ing contest between VIII Ware and
Al Miles of Oklahoma City, and they
were somewhat disappointed, mas
much as the principal event lasted
Just three-quar,ers of minute of
the first round.
After receiving instructions from
the referee. the men awaited the
gong and Immediately went into a
clinch. They spared carefully for a
few seconds, when Ware sent one
to the head that sent his man to
the mat for knockdown of a rather
flukey order. Miles led for the jaw
and ran into stin left on the solar
that put him down for the count.
in fact he was down for something
over the count, and the crowd got
up and came back to town. Harry
Wallace was introduced, and cha,-
leneed the winner for a fifteenround

he was perfectly willing to take him
on, and date will be arranged for
the mill in the near future.
1t was stated last night that the
fight would take place next Monday

TO ERECT BIG
BRICK PLANT
SAND MAKES HIGHEST GRADE
BRICK IN TIE UNITED STATES
NEW YARD.

Some time ago Co.onel White OF
the Industrial Association sent sam
pies of silica sand to a large brick
manufactures in the east for the pur-
pose of making a test Of it and see
how it compared with brick made
from sand from other localities. The
result was so satisfactory that sam
pies were sent 20 the International
Sand, Lime, Brick and Machinery Co
of New York, and they were asked to
make a test of the sand and report
to the association. Yesterday Colonel
White received letter from the
firm, stating that the sand was SUI
pcrior to any in the United States
and stated that a very high class
of silica fire brick could h. made
from it.
They advised the association to get
busy at once if they had a sufficient
deposit of the sand, organize a
company and begin the manufacture
of the brick at once and stated that
they would like to he interested in
the company financially.
The silica referred to and sent for
inspection is of two colors, white
and buff, or terra Gotta, and makes
the very finest quality of finishing
or outside brick, according to these
experts, and not only brick but
moulded stone as well, that very
closely resembles Bedford stone, and
said to be as durable. The members
of the association have begun a quiet
campaign to organize the company
and already many business men are
asking to be included, the plant will
cost about $4,000 and will have a ca
pacity of about 10000 per day. il
will be situated near the canyon,
sixteen miles north of here. where
there is an unlimited supply of sand.
The samples sent the company at
New York came from the Walcott
property, but that is not the only
deposit in the field by any means,
and the factory will be so located
that the entire field will be utilized.
When the company is organized
the New York parties have agreed
to send an expert here to make a
thorough investigation of the field
and offer any suggestions to the pro
moters that in his judgment is for
the best interest of the plant.
The brick can be manufactured ac-
cordng to estimates furnished for
about $500 per thousand, and as
they readily bring $4,000, with the
demand far exceeding the supply, it
can be seen that good margin of
profit can be made.
