VOTE LOOKS LIGHT.
IN THE ELECTION.

Up to o'clock this afternoon a light
vote had been cast in the supreme
court judicial election in most of the
precincts.
What was expected happened in the
last hours of the campaign in the way
of circulation of literature from cow
ardly sources, designed to prejudice
the result of the election. Issues were
thus injected that have no place in
any phase of American politics, much
less judicial elections.
These incidents will be discussed
later, regardless of what the outcome
of the election may be.

RITCHEY EXPRESSES HIS
THANKS TO HIS NEIGHBORS

Clarence L. Ritchey, 14O1 Twenty
sixth street, called at The Argus Of
flee and asked that his thanks to
neighbors who so kindly assisted in
fighting down a fire in his home Fri
day night be conveyed to them in this
way. A kerosene lamp explosion set
fire to his home and the neighbors,
by their prompt action, saved the
home from destruction. The fire de-
partment, though their response was
ready, had a long run before them
and without the aid of the neighbors
the fire loss would have mounted
high AS it was, the damage caused
was 500. 1t is covered with insur-
ance.

is GRIEVED BY SEPARATION
Has No Other Alternative Than That
in Which She May Provide for
Her Daughter.

Who wants a nice, healthy, baby
girl, s months old? The mother is a
widow, the father having died last
winter. The mother is compelled to
work to support herself and can not
care for the child. Any one interested
may telephone West 456-y and get all
the information desired"
The above note sent to The Argus,
short and to the point as it is, con-
tains a great deal of pathos between
its few lines and no doubt will attract
the heart of some good soul who is
willing TO lift a child, come through
circumstances of restitution, to be
burden, from off the hands of its poor
mother. The note really tells its own
story. There is little more to say. The
mother formerly resided in Chicago.
When she was widowed she was left
practically penniless and forced, there
fore, to earn her own livelihood. Proper
care of the child at the same time be-
came impossible.
HAS LITTLE ATTENTION.
Two weesk ago the woman came to
Rock Island. Since then, driven by
that which she has not the power to
prevent, she has been forced to decide
between her own existence and the
future welfare of the child against
present comfort and peace of mind
with her child and possible future tor
ture of even greater bounds.
GRIEVED AT NECESSITY.
She is grieved to be forced TO take
such drastic measures in order to gain
! a decent shelter for her little one, but
/ she feels that she has no further alter
native. A good home with kind people
as the child's foster parents>is her de-
sire now.
