wells township called on Prosecutor

purpose Of finding out whether an

lenged didn't own property or have no
two qualifications being necessary to
give a man a vote for school trustee

ROUTED THE ROGUE"

A Bad Elephant. a Lighted Lamp and 9
Lucky Blow.
An odd experience fell to the lot of
three men who were on a tiger hunt
ing expedition in India.
To prevent the invasion OF mosqui-
toes and other insects that would be
attracted by the light in their quar-
tiers the heavy cotton curtain which
formed the door OF the tent was closed.
and the three friends were chatting
across the table when suddenly the
whole tent shook. and as they looked
round TO see the cause the heavy cur
tain was roughly snatched away, and
in the open doorway appeared the
head Of big elephant
The men had no time to catch up
their rifles. They knew by the ap-
pearance Of the animal that he meant
mischief. Lifting up the roof OF the
tent with bis head he threateningly
swung out his trunk at the man neat
est him
At this the hunter sprang to his feet
and. Selling the lighted lamp from the
table, hurled it with all his strength
against the animals forehead. The
glass broke at the blow. and the blaz-
ing oil covered the animals trunk with
a sheet OF dame
With a cry Of terror the beast drew
frantically back, shook OF the curtain
and fed across the country, yanquish-
ed by a single blow from an oil lamp
IL was a fortunate act. for the animal
was no doubt a rogue" and would

COBS OF GLOOM IN
PLOW CITy'SCAMP
Manager Fairchild Says There
Is Dearth of Material
for Eleven,
SEASON OPENS SEPT. %
Games to Be Played Each Week There
after, Schedule Closing With
Davenport Battle.

A few gobs of gloom are being cast
from the Moline high school gridiron
camp by R. w. Fairchild. manager of
the Plow City's high school eleven.
He who holds the managerial reins
says that the prospects for a team are
poorer than they have been for three
years Rock Island and Moline do
rot meet this year and the compare
tive merits of the two teams can on
ly be secured through comparative
scores, a method which is practically
useless. Here is what the Moline
Dispatch says regarding the condi-
tons in the Plow City:
DEARTH OF MATERIAL.
Prospects for the high school elev-
en- are the poorest in the three years
have been here" is the way R. w.
Fairchild expressed the outlook on his
return to the city to continue his work
as manager of the team. The trouble,
he ascribes to the unusual dearth of
material. Especially is this true of
candidates for the line positions. The
back field he regards as much strong
er than the line.
Practice will begin the third week
in September and the first game will
be played week later, Sept. rs. The
first opponents will doubtless be Ma
Quoketa. When the season is starte
there will be no letup, as it Is plan
ned to play one game a week to the
end. Mr.. Fairchild declares that he
finds this to be better plan than to
run any chances of the men getting
| stale and losing interest as is often
| the case when a period longer than a
week Is used in preparation for. any
game.
Mr.. Fairchild worked on the sched-
ule during the summer and has closed
contracts with Galesburg for a game
on Oct. 26, with Tuscola for No
vember 9, and with Davenport for
Thanksgiving day. The game with
Tuscola will be the longest trip Ia
Rem by the team. Plan is to have one
other out-of-town game on either the
18th or goth of October Either Iowa
City or Aledo will be the opponent
| for this game In addition tentative
dates are arranged with Champaign
and Muscatine for games on the home
grounds. Princeton also may be on
the schedule this year.
Coach W. G. Burroughs is expected
to return to the city either Sun
day or Monday He will be assisted
by R. N. Jones.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
The Socialists Answer.

MT. Editor: Mir. Vallette seems to be anxious to draw swords with the local socialists, and complains that no answer was made to his last letter, when he asked several questions of theI socialists.
 We have never lodged the issue yet and we are willing to meet all corners, whether they are greenbackers, single taxers or just ordinary capitalists.
 In your issue of April 30, MT. Val lette makes a startling discovery, in the form of declaring that the social ist party does not differ from the republican and democratic parties. He bases his discovery on the fact that Victor Berger declares for the buying of the trusts with government bonds. and thus take over the machinery of production and distribution: and since the interest on these bonds would have 10 be paid by the workers, there would be no change from the present condition of affairs.
 conceding that the worker obtains put 2-5 of his product. and the re- malhder gees to the owner of the tools with which he works, Mir, Vallette shows his lack of undergtnnding of what is known as high finance when he says the remaining 8=5 goes ta the paying of interest on de6ts and bonds Does he consider that all de6ss and bends afising from big business are based ca anything suBstaatiaf? CT does he a6mie that the leading indus tries are capitalized, in some eases twice theiF aetGai value? la view ei the last statement, are net the *eEff= !, amount etheFWise2 Kew if the ga4.= eFRmeAt should buy tha trusts aaG pay fer them vita 59=year bends eat
