TROOPS TO STAY
FOR The PRESENT
AT ALL EVENTS
Authorities Decide to Keep Sit
uation in Check Until At
mosphere Is Cleared.
REGULATIONS NOT SEVERE
Predicament One That Could Not BE
Avoided and Might as Well BE
Carried Through Now.

Several Rock Island business men
called upon Mayor II. NJ. Schriver and
ether authorities today TO learn, if
possible, how long the troops are to
remain here, or how long martial
law is 10 be in operation. II is
question which could not be definite
ly answered, except that the troops
will be kept here until the local sit
uation is clarified and every indica-
ton points toward peace and
Quietude. There is a probability that
the troops will remain here until
after the primary day, April 8. 1t
may be that arrangements will be
made to relieve a portion Of the regi-
ment after the sentiment of the peo-
pie Gains down.
Though 1t is realized that the pres
ence OF the soldiers and the order OF
martial law is not the most pleasant
spectacle imaginable. all are agreed
that the action Of the authorities con-
corning the remedy for the mob riot
was for the best. Better by far"
said one citizen, ito have a few short
days OF martial law than to wait for
the atmosphere to settle later"
PEOPLE ARE NOT HAMPERED. ,
Through the exercise of judgment
and common sense on the part of
Sheriff o. L. Bruner and Mayor Schriver.
the requirements of the situation are
not oppressive. No one is hampered
in going about his business-it is
scarcely military law. e is merely
pacifying influence that is meant as
public safeguard for the time being
There is nothing to keep off the
streets those who are peaceably inclin-
ed and business need not suffer.

CLAIM DYNAMITE
Was TO Be USED

Staff representatives of Chicago pa
pers who are in Rock Island looking
into the riot situation last night sent
out the following sidelight on the dis
turbance:
Fear of a possible dynamitlng OF
the city hall was aroused today by
the appearance in Rock Island of con-
struction worker and his close connec-
ton with - men who were picked up
in the railroad yards. The state and
county officers will make full inves-
tigation of what is supposed to be a
carefully planned plot to blow up the
city hall and possibly other buildings

be inquired into Saturday morning by a
coroner's jury which will be impanel-
led by Coroner John Rose. Coroner
Rose is busying himself in an effort to
learn the identity of some of those
who were in the mob Tuesday and has
met with partial success thus far
Several witnesses have been subpoen-
aed for service Saturday morning.
That the police are not liable for
the death, or injury, of any of the vic
tins of the riot, is the statement of
authorities who are conducting inves-
Legations. After Commissioner Archie
Hart cautioned the mob to dispense,
the police had right to defend them
Iselves.

Rose, the grand jury will meet tomor-
row afternoon and adjourned to con.
vene Monday morning when the re
ports of the coroner's jury can be
made. Coroner Rose stated this after

of campaign and will devote his en-
tire time to aiding in the restoration
of law and order as well as endeavor
ing to place the blame for the riots

ON Moline SQUARE
Harry M. McCaskrin's Speech
Delivered Early and in
Moderate Terms.

Police Force on Hand and Saloons
Closed During the Evening
and Nothing Happened.

Harry NJ. McCaskrin's political meet
ing at Moline last night, which rumor
had it would prove an exciting affair,
was a happy disappointment in that
respect. People who poured into the
town by carloads expecting to wade
through the streets in gore up to their
knees, departed somewhat at a loss TO
determine whether they had heard a
campaign speech or had participated in
a Sunday school basket lunch.
Shortly after 1870 McCaskrin mount

dodgers, did not rant at all. He was
all done by Is minutes to s, and peace
reigned supreme.
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS BY CITY.
A half hour before the time set for
the talk. McCaskrin was closeted with
the commissioners, the mayor, and the
Moline chief of police, and informed
that he could talk but Is minutes and
must confine himself absolutely to cam
paign discussion, avoiding any indulg-
ence in personalities. This was agreed
/ 10. Many people. thinking the talk
would begin a; s o'clock, were sur
prised to learn that everything was
over when they appeared on the scene.
SALOONS CLOSED TWO HOURS.
1t was planned at first to close all
the Moline saloons last night, and at
Z o'clock the curtains were pulled down
and the lights extinguished, but these
places were reopened ats o'clock, af-
ter several carloads of Rock Inland
and Davenport people had left for their
respective cities.
Both the day and night police forces
were on duty to be ready for any emer-
gency, but as there was no demonstra-
ton OF any sort, they were not kept
busy.

THE LINE OF THE SPINE

spine if you use sewing machine.
The reason for this Is the family sewing
machine as ordinarily constructed, is altogether
wrong. You cannot sit straight in your chair
straight and square as you should, and see if
you can sew on your machine; you can't. The
needle is AZ inches from the center where it

operate an ordinary sewing machine, it would
be injured for life. The soft cartilage Of its
spine would twist and warp, its vital organs
would be injured to such an extent as to pro-
duce nervous disorders.

THE STANDARD CENTRAL NEEDLE
machine is new type Of family sewing ma
chine designed as health saver and preventer
OF doctors bills.
In this machine the needle is central with
the worker-direotly over the center of the

and consequent torture of the nerves.
With THE STANDARD CENTRAL

Catarrh.

1t is not necessary to describe at

Permanent catarrh is also caused
BY incorrect habits of living, cspec-

sufferers think their catarrh is due
to "eXposure", by which they mean
too much fresh air: but if they
would breathe all the fresh air they
can get, avoid crowded rooms, dust,
and stuffiness, and learn to sleep
with wide open windows, they would
be surprised at the powers of resis-
tance they would develop.
