PROTEST AGAINST
RE-ROUTING OF CARS

Nearly all the property owners
along Second avenue between Fiji
teenth and Twentieth streets have
signed a petition directed to the city
commission and protesting against
the re-routing of street car lines al
the expense Of Second avenue
The petition was filed with
Mayor H. NJ. Schriver this morning

Second avenue people being allowed
to present their side of the case
The petition reads as follows:
The Undersigned merchants and
property owners on Second avenue
in the city OF Rock Island, deplore the
efforts being made by property own
ers on Third avenue TO build up theil
values by robbing Second avenue Of
it's present street railway facilities
the basis OF our investments on Sec
ond avenue. We deplore the stirring
up OF a feud among our business mel
by the arraying Of one street against
another and suggest that there should
be united effort OF all interests in
securing new street railway and in
/ terurban facilities, which might builC
up Third avenue without injury to Sec
ond avenue. We therefore earnestly
protest against any change being made
in the present routing OF street cars.

jacks and did not fiji. Woe and trib-
ulation.
Henry decided Saturday that life
without Augusta would be one dull,
aching void, and the couple hied them
selves to Rock Island to be married.
Henry had the facts at his tongues
end, and consequently paid a visit to
County Clerk Hubbard and got the IL
cense, which read as follows: Miss
Augusta Shaw, age 26."
JUSTICE DOUBTFUL.
When the blushing bride and the
stalwart groom entered Justice Wells
Office, clutching the documents, the
local barrister perused the parchment
and then took hasty inventory of the
prospectives. His investigation led
him to believe that the fair Augusta
had slipped up on the count when she
checked in at 20 years, and immediate
ly began cross examination.
SAD MUSIC.
This disclosed the fact that Angus
ia had been trying TO slip one over
on Henry, as she admitted that her
age was not &c, but 3S, that her name
was not Miss Shaw, but Mrs. Shall
low, and that she had been married,
and had secured a divorce only two
months ago. Mrs. Shallow" thun-
dered the justice, you have been try
ing to deceive Henry. We will go to
tn coTaty clerks office and straighten
up these few discrepancies before the
ceremony proceeds" Here Mrs. Shall
low again told the truth, thing which
had been forgotten in her courtship
with Henry, and while Cupid gathered
up his bow and arrows and reached
for the smelling salts. the license
was torn into pieces and thrown into
the waste basket The wedding bells
did not ring and the Borrowing couple
returned to the Iowa town.
Moral: After securing a divorce,
you cannot be stung for a year.
