MARKET REPORT
TO Be SUBMITTED
Commissioner Archie Hart Re-
turns From Iowa Cities
With Data.
SUPPLIES FRESHER GOODS
Price of the Commodity Is Not Les
sened by System Because of
Trust

Commissioner Archie Hart, who
returned from Des Moines and Cedar
Rapids Saturday, submitted a report
OF his inspection of the city markets
IN those municipalities to the board
OF commissioners this afternoon and
suggested plans 20 be embodied in
the city market ordinance of Rock Is
land. He found that with the excep-
tion of the fact that IL is probably
possible 10 secure fresher produce at
times. the city market does not
lessen the price of any commodity
and that in most instances, the price
OF food stuff is the same there as II
is here, and in some instances, IL is
higher. In the Des Moines market,
space is allotted to those who seek
IL. free OF charge, subject TO the d.
rection OF the sealer OF weights and
measures. who is in charge of the two
departments. Peddlers are licensed
TO sell away from the market when
the market is not opened.
SOME BAD FEATURES.
There are some discrepancies in the
Des Moines method, says Mr.. Hart,
due largely TO the fact that measures
are used by the men who have prod
ucts 10 sell. In one instance last
week, one man was selling Sc pounds
OF potatoes for S2.10, or was selling
six pounds more than a bushel for
so cents more than a bushel is worth.
In another instance, scales measured
heavy" and they we're confscated.
Rock Island will test the institu-
ton and will adopt such methods as
will make II self sustaining. The
market may be established on Flat
iron square or in the roller rink
nearby.

Travellers in South America see many
strange places. but the queerest of all
is probably Quito. the capital Of the
republic Of Ecuador. The first thing
which strikes a visitor to that city is
that there are no chimneys to the
houses.
Charcoal is all that is burned there,
and consequently no smoke arises. An
other popularity is that while the

GIRL DIES
FROM BAD INJURY
Dorothy Burkhahn, Three Years
Old, Victim of Unfortunate
Accident.
FELL ON LEAD PENCIL
Brass Eraser Holder Pierces Brain II
Is TrSdght-No Indication of
Seriousness at First,

Commissions superinduced by an in
jury sustained Thursday morning
when pencil pierced her head near
the left eye, caused the death of lit
tie Dorothy Regina Pauline Burk-
hahn, three-years-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Hugo Burkhahn, 170S
Eighth street, Saturday night at
1880. Thursday morning, while
playing in the home, the child picked
up a pencil, and shortly after that
fell to the floor The erasure had
fallen from the brass holder of the
pencil and it was that end which en-
tered the child's head near the nasal
bridge. An occulist was summoned
at once and after he had dressed the
wound and taken eight stitches in it,
he said that there was no immediate
danger from the injury. The parents
of the child thought that she would
recover.
AGONY ENDS IN DEATH.
At 9 O'Clock Saturday night, the
child was seized with spasms and
after more than two hours of agony
death came to her. 1t is thought
that the pencil penetrated the brair
and caused a blood clot upon it. The
laceration caused by the injury may
have caused blood poisoning.
The victim of the accident was borI
in this city May %, 1909. She leaves
her parents and sister, Ida. Tht
| funeral is to be held tomorrow after
noon at o'clock. Rev. Phi. Wilhelm
