Moose to Erect Club House.-Deci-
sion was reached by the executive
committee of the Loyal Order Of
Moose of this city to erect a three
story building for the local lodge this
coming year. The committee, which
was chosen at the regular meeting a
week ago, met Monday evening with
it's chairman, DR.. w. T. Hinman, and
decided to proceed at once to raise the
necessary funds. Almost enough for
the purchase Of the, ground has al
ready been secured. Three sites iu|
the business district have been Offer
ed the committee. Intention is to
make selection soon so that plans can
be completed in time to begin con-
struction when spring opens. The
idea of securing the rooms to be vacat-
ed by the Moline club was abandoned.
Further than that the new building
is to be three stories with clubrComs
occupying the entire second floor and
the lodge hall on the third, the COM
mittee has not formulated plaus for
arrangement of the structure.
Singer Saves House from Destruc-
tion.-Prompt action on the part of
Ernest Tranberg saved the home Of
DR.. Emil E. Eden, 1923 Twelfth
street, from serious damage and pos
sible destruction Monday evening
when sparks from defective chimney
iue set fire to the roof. Tranberg,
! who rooms in the house, was told Of
the fire by Emil and Roy Gustafson.
He rushed for a bucket of water ard
carried it to the scene of the flames
and extinguished the blaze before 1t
could eat its way into other portions
of the house.
Test New Type of Engine.-G. R.
Morrison, division superintendent, and
w. NJ. Thurber, chief dispatcher of the
Milwaukee road, were in Moline yes
terday for the purpose of testing a
new type of engine to see whether or
not it would be practicable for pas
senger and freight service over the
local division of the road. The engine
has a potential energy greater than
that of any in general use on the road
today and is now in use on some
branches. So far tests have all prov
en- successful and in all probability the
road will place an order for several
new engines.

trace has been removed of the shed
which as part Of the city market plant
has taken up room on the Thirteenth
street boulevard and has been any
thing but a sight associated with the
plan for city beautiful. Work of tear
