MOLINE

Two Cars COLLABORATING to come
to complete stop when it should
have done so, an East Moline car,
east bound, overlook and smashed
into the rear end of Waterfowl car
No. 209 at the Twenty-seventh street
crossing Wednesday at 4:45 p. m.
Both cars were damaged and had to
be returned to the car barns, and one
passenger on the WATERFOWL car was
injured, but not seriously.
viii Not Move Depot-Adverse
criticism has been directed at the
proposed plan of the city taking por-
tons Of the old Burlington freight
| shed and using them to build a mar
ket place in city hall park. Two rea-
sons why the city should not carry
out this suggestion have been set
forth. One is that the freight house
is old and unsightly,s and the other
is that, being a frame structure, it
could not be moved inside the fire
| limits. A new scheme for the mar
ket has been evolved and will I'm.
doubtedly prove popular. 1t has been
suggested that the city lease Turner
hall and allow vendors to construct
booths in the main auditorium.
More Night Students.-Seventeen
additional pupils registered Thursday
night at the third session of the even.
ing school for foreigners. The 100
mark in attendance has been passed
there is a total of 1O4 pupils. With
the large increase in enrolment, the
problem OF an inadequate number OF
teachers became more pronounced
Charles Krone, the principal, who has
inaugurated teaching system that
is certainly producing the desired
kind of results, is assisted by Miss
Alice Westberg and Mrs. Max Sklof
sky. But to properly classify the
pupils and test each ones individual
attainments, especially when the
, grouping is of such a cosmopolitan
: nature, is a task of no little moment
and much of the good that may be
!, accomplished will be hampered un
less inc dCIlNe WOTheTS nave ulOTt
assistance. More volunteer teacher,
are demanded now. 1t is not essen
} tial that the candidates have had pre-
vious experience in the public schools

Of $4,000 for the stock. An invoice

expected will be completed in about
a week or ten days, when the Scott
County Mercantile company will re-
move all its stock from the present

Verdict for Defendant.-A verdict
favoring the defendant was brought
in Thursday night in the suit Of Henry
Nealand VS.. H. C. Markus. The jury

ing the evidence. The suit involved
the question of about $4,000 alleged to
be due the plaintiff from the defend
ant as the difference in the value of
land traded for stock in the Daven-
port Flour, Feed and Commission COM
pany. The plaintiff alleged that his
stock was worth in the neighborhood
of $4,000 and that the land he re-
ceived in the trade was worth only
about $1,000 and sued for the differ
ence.
! Admit Forging Checks.-Confession
of the forgery of a $1,000 check on
the OFT saloon on West Third street

Wells in his statement to the officers
said that he had taken the check and
had passed 1t on the saloon proprietor

Illinois Politics

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-Former
Governor Richard Yates still is to
be reckoned with in the making of
the republican nomination for gov
ernor. While not yet an avowed
candidate, the former governor made
it plain this afternoon that he will
not be satisfied with some other Of
fee, his ambition pointing solely in
the direction of the governorship.
His final decision in the matter is not
expected for several weeks. Deny
ing the published statement that he
will become a candidate for con-
gressman-at-large Ex-Governor Yates
said: "The statement in Chicago
evening paper on Tuesday and a sim
liar statement in a Chicago morn
ing paper on Wednesday that l am a
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for congressman-at-larg are
both erroneous. The only Office l as
pire to is that of governor and my
position as to that is exactly as set
forth in my statement on Oct. at
the state fair last year. l do not,
however, favor long campaign. On
the contrary there are two reasons
why l do not wish to open a cam
| paign now. First, | cannot afford
the expense of a long compaign. Sec
ond, there are a few matters of pri-
vate business of Importance which
must be attended to first. l have
| heard from several thousand active
republicans by letter and their esti-
mates of the situation are most en-
couraging."

UNIDENTIFIED BODY FOUND.

While walking along the pipe line
about O'Clock last Tuesday night
Neal Campbell, Water Department
employee, discovered the dead body
of a man on the meadows about a
mile out from Absecon.
The man was apparently between
so and so years Of age. Although
the face was so badly decomposed as
to make Identification difficult, it is
supposed that it is the body of an ell
derly stranger named Robinson, who
had been camping in the vicinity in
the open for several days. There
were cooking utensils scattered about
and hound dog still alive, although
badly in need of food, was tied to a
small tree.
Campbell notified Mayor Adams and
Constable McDermott, of Pleasant
vile, of his gruesome find and the off
cials went to the spot. They inspect
ed the camp but found no evidence of
how the man met his death. County
Physician Wescott, with whom they
communicated, directed that the body
be removed to an undertaker's. There
were no marks of violence on the
body, nor anything which would serve
to identify him.

IDLEWOOD.


The Rev. Cross, of the Chelsea Bap-
tist Church, Atlantic City, preached
at the First Baptist Church of Idle
wood on the past Sunday, and very
helpful sermon he gave us. Mrs.
Cross assisted her husband in the
singing part of the service, and the
new organ, under her touch, gave
forth melody that was we'll worth lis
tening to. She also sang a beautiful
solo. These 5 to 6 P. M. Sunday ser
vices are becoming more and more
interesting, thanks to Atlantic City
churches and officials, who have the
matter in charge. Aug. II Mr.. Lewis
Cottingham will preach again for US,
and all who have heard him preach
want to hear him again. We were
glad to see Mrs. VIM. Hemingway,
one of the charter members of the
First Baptist Church of lakewood, was
able to get over from Atlantic City
to attend services. DIR. and Mrs.
Cross's little nephew was also another
attendant from Atlantic City.
DR.. Cross, in his address, spoke of
being the representative from the
Board of Trade to meet the Mayor of
Atlantic City and his Commissioners,
regarding the erecting of monu-
ment in memory Of those who lost
their lives in the recent airship disas-
ter, of which he was a witness, and
two of whom he performed the burial
services for. His remarks brought
the sadness of the whole affair very
close to one, as did the very wonder
full photograph we have seen, of the
ship in the very act of falling, and
which was taken by Mr.. Walter Grail.
Mr.. Grail, Jr.'s, parents live at Idle
wood, and they are justly proud of
their son, who of all the newspaper
presence of mind to snap the picture
of the falling ship, thereby rendering
the greatest service to his employers
and the public in general. Magazines,
etc, have thought SO much of the
achievement, that a description of it
and Mr.. Crail's picture have been pub
lished in a number of them.
Mrs. Stephen Lee visited lakewood
last Wednesday and Thursday and
liked it so well, with the exception of
our Jersey mosquitoes, though she
did not complain much of these, that
she contemplates selling property at
Laurel Springs and settling here. The
two days visit had a beneficial effect
upon her health, which is the princi-
pal reason for her good opinion, in
addition tQtEie pleasure of seeing old
friends, Mr. and Mrs. J.J. McDevitt
and family, after about twelve years,
when all were members of the South
Broad Street Baptist Church, Phila
delphia. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee will1spend
a later vacation here together.
The campmeeting that is being held
at lakewood seems to be going along
well in every way, and we are all
glad Of its success.

PERJURYISFOuND


The Federal attorneys are very jubl-
liant at the result of the case as the [
feel that unless they can make It
known that perjury before the grand
jury Is serious offense they will
never be able to get anywhere in their
cases.
Henry comes up for sentence Mon.
day morning next. He was repre-
of coast branch of the
Seamcn's Union and was mixed up
with disturbance on board the
schooner r. G. Slade in connection
with union matters. Following the
verdict against him this morning by
the petit jury, the grand jury brought
in two more indictments against him
on charges of assault and battery ON
board the schooner. '".
An indictment was also brought
against Amos Scott on similar
charge. Henry was out on bail for a
long time and finally skipped to the
coast from where he was brought back
by the bOndsmen.
Louis Coadou, agent of the Seamen's
Union here, also appears before the
Federal court Monday to face the same
charge that Henry has just been
found guilty of. A fresh panel has
been brought in to hear to the ease
owing to the similarity of the facts
