ITO wear or not to wear" is the
problem confronting the senior class
of the high school regarding the sug-
gestion made by Principal A. ]. Bur
ton that the graduates should appear
in cap and gown at the annual COM
mencement exercises at the Illinois
theatre this year Last evening the
class took vote and the majority
evinced desire to follow the sugges-
ton of the principal. However it de-
veloped that every boy in the class
voted in the negative. and they now
declare that they will not attire them

parently are the ones who favor the

GERS pertaining to the cases assigned
10 mis- contemporaries and reads all Of
opinions. This work is done during
the vacation time, but I assure you it
is a strenuous vacation.
JUNIOR HEARD FIRST.
when court convenes, the first
thing taken up is petitions for rehear-
ing. and then comes the work of adopt
ing or rejecting. The work begins with
the junior member first This is done
because, should the older Judge In
point Of seniority and experience be
called upon first for his opinion, it
would be hard to secure an unbiased
opinion from the younger Judge. The
best oral arguments are not made by
the attorneys, but in the conference
room Of the supreme court, and there
are on some occasions some very spir.
tied and brilliant debates over the
proper disposal of a case. The filing
Of the opinion adopted is not done until
the last thing and the result is then
announced to the parties interested
Should a rehearing be wanted, a dec
laration must be made within Is days
and a petition for rehearing filed within
the next 10 days. These petitions must
only be based upon points overlooked
or Inexperienced by the judges.
OUTLINE IDEAL METHOD.

would be to take every case as submit
ted and consider it in conference, bu

sible. All things considered, the pres

CENESEO DOOMED
TO old CHARTER
So Thinks City Attorney j. F
Witter Who Speaks for
Commission Form.
ECONOMY is ARGUMENT
Citizens See a Saving by Retention
of Antiquated System and Fa-
vor Keeping 1t.

"Geneseo seems doomed to retain
its old form of government granted in
the year 1866" said City Attorney
James F. Witter when talking of the
mass meeting held in Geneseo last ev-
ening and at which he and G. A. Shall
berg, Moline's city attorney, were the
principal speakers. 1T is not that
Geneseo is not awake to the fact that
the commission form of government
is vastly superior to it's Anticipated
system, but that, for monetary rea-
sons, the people are in favor of the re-
tention of the old charter. Under it,
the mayor offers his services without
compensation, merely for the glory of
it, and the aldermen receive $72 per
year. Under the new form, the mayor
would necessarily be paid and the
commissioners would receive $2S more
each year. The GeneseOans think that
from an economical standpoint, the
present form is far superior
SENTIMENT OF MEETING.
The two attorneys delivered lengthy
addresses concerning the value of the
commission form. Their arguments eff
fected the audience somewhat, but il
is their opinion that it will take more
than presentation of facts to swerve
the people of Geneseo from the Ole
/ form of government That seems t
be the prevailing sentiment and the
citizens are. evidently willing to re
main under the old form of govern
ment.
! The two attorneys went to Genesec
on fast train that stopped purpose
ly for them there, and that they came
back on fast train that also express
ly stopped for them.

While everyone decries the weather

that the attendance at high school yes
terday was better than any one day
since the commencement of the fall
term of school There were few abb
sentees and fewer tardy ones than on
any other day to date. which goes to
show that the school pupils are not

No More Damage Will Be Done Tn.

Time to Act.

Milan and Sears commuters today
refrained from attempts to demolish
the small car and trailer which leave
Milan at o'clock each morning, TAX
ing the workingmen 70 this city, in
spite of the fact that the trailer was
as devoid of heat and warmth as a
billiard ball is of hair. One of them
stated this morning that they would
give the company few days of grace
before starting any further action.
SUFFER WITH COLD.
How about the cars this morning,
were they heated?" one of the patrons
was asked. WELL he said, 81 saw
smoke coming out of the chimney, so
| guess there was fire in the stove
but if l had not seen it coming out
of the chimney L never would have
guessed that there was anything burn
ing in that excuse for a stove. We
stood up in the cars this morning and
tried to keep from freezing to death
by jumping upon and down. We are
getting pretty sore about the whole
thing, and if we do not get what we
want pretty quick there is going to be
something doing"
PETITION THE COMPANY.
A petition signed by patrons of the

.ONE BROKEN RAIL
FOR EVERY MILE
Cold Weather Renders Steel
Tracks Brittle and Causes
Them to Snap.
TRAINS MUST RUN SLOWLY
Result Is That All of Them Are Late
Only Relief Is Immediate
Change in Temperature.

When you watch in vain for mail
coming from the east, west or north
just think of the fact that every
mile, nearly OF railroad tracks, has
ped off through fiat wheels coming
in contact with the rails made brit
tie by the intensely cold weather.
One of the officials of the Rock Is
land road said that within the
stretch between Chicago and Rock
Island there are at least 200 broken
rails. The mileage is 1S1 miles and
are sometimes worse and sometimes
better. Other roads report condi-
tions equally as bad and until there
is a decided break in the weather
and a change for higher temperature
conditions will be as they are. Re-
pairs are going on steadily, but Just
as fast as they can be accomplished
there is a report from another place
a little farther alons the line.
BLOCK SYSTEM WORKS.
Through the block system, every
engineer is notified of danger that
turks ahead on the stretching track
and the broken rail is one of the
things that he must look for. AS
soon as he notices the block signal,
he goes slowly until he is passed the
danger point. A train coming from
Chicago yesterday took Just twice
the time that is ordinarily used up
in the journey. That has been the
trouble every morning this week.
Mail that comes in time for the first
mail delivery as a rule, is sometimes
delayed until afternoon and many
| times later than that. Warm wealth
er is the only remedy.
