TWO ATTEMPTS MADE
TO ENTER DUNLAP HOMES

ELKHART, Ind. Nov. 10. - That
the residents of Dunlaps and vicinity
have been threatened by burglars for
several days is the opinion of Sheriff
Leader. Two or more strange men
are said to have been seen about the
place frequently Two recent at
tempts at burglary are charged to
them
One attempt was made to enter
the home of Frank Kreider, two and
one-half miles southwest of Dunlaps,
at 1880 Monday night while Mr.. Krei-
der was at church. However, the in
truders were frightened away by Mrs.
Kreider.
The home Of Wilson Rood, near
Dunlaps. was ransacked some time
after o'clock Saturday morning.
but nothing of value was taken. 1t is
supposed the burglars were looking
for $500 that had been received Fri
day as the proceeds Of sale.

THE NEED OF a NEW COUNTY JArr

THE NEED OF 4 NEW COUNTY JAIL.
The recent grand jury, following the
example of its predecessors for years
back, condemned the conditions OF the
Rock Island county jail as unsanitary
and unfit for the housing of prisoners,
but contrary TO the practices of pre-
ceding grand iuries suggested a rem
edy. II recommended to the board o.
supervisors the only remedy-a new
Jail.
To this end the late grand jury sug-
Eested the submission to the people Of
a 100000 bond issue for this purpose.
The proposition is in line with the
times. Common consideration OF com
mon humanity warrants the improve
msnt. The present Jail. despite all
that has been done or could be done
TO better it. and Notwithstanding all
the care that could be taken to make
81 habitable. is unfit. II is old, musty.
Z lsanitary and an improper place to
confine human beings.
Il does not afford the opportunities
for segregation or separation of the
different classes OF prisoners. Mere
boys and first offenders are unavoid,

nails and are thus corrupted or contain
mated by evil influences and associa
tons.
There are few counties whose jails
are not more modern than is the one
OF Rock Island county. and II is hoped

proposition OF providing a modern one

issue. and that the impulses Of hu
rnanity will prompt the people in Civ
ing Il their sanction and approval

RAILROAD TO HELP FARMERS.


There have been no very accurate
figures available as to the losses OF
farmers and high prices to consumers
as a result of the inability of the for
mer TO get TO market perishable pro-
ducts during the summer and fail, but
it is we'll known that the total for each
year is enormous
The management of the AtchisOn,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad has de-
vised the most practical plan we have
heard Of yet to overcome this loss. 1t
announces that beginning next spring
it will put a refrigerator car on each
of its divisions and on certain days of
each week will pick up farm produce
al all the stations convenient to the
farmers. no matter how small, and will
take the produce on consignment, car.
~ il 10 the large markets and there
sell It for the farmers on a small com
mission.
There will be no holding Of produce
/ for the purpose Of creating artificial
| prices, as many commission merchants
have done, but the goods will be de-
/ livered in the marke.s absolutely
fresh, handled by experts employed by
/ the railroad company, and the pro.
ceeds promptly RENTED TO the pro.
/ ducers. The company will accept all
{ cOnsignments. no matter how small.
The farmer need not hold back his
eggs until he accumulates large num-
Der and many Of them become stale,
II he has a quantity of apples that will
not keep long, he need not feed them
to mis- hogs, nor need consumers in the
cities along the lines or the company
pay 10 cents a dozen for apples while
on the farms they are rotting on the
ground. AS the refrigerator cars move
toward the big markets the produce
that has been collected will be sortet
and reshipped so that only full cars
will reach the cities.

operates, railroads in the middle west
which run through much more thickl,

TO do IL.

100000 people makes the increase
in price.
This condition cannot be remedied,
because the causes which decreased
bearing trees still exist and cannot be
removed. All of the decrease was in
the eastern half of the United States,
while the northwestern states showed
an increase, being subject to different
conditions.
The northwestern states, which now
produce only 5 per cent of the total
crop, must more and more be depend,
ed upon for apples, and prices must
continue TO be high.
In Europe, good American apples re.

increase largely year by year.

eminent to buy these lines at physical

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
There is good political lesson in
the contrast between the methods by
which the good roads question is being
worked out by the federal government
and by the state of Pennsylvania.
Chairman Shackleford, Of the house
committee on roads, is proposing a
| maintenance bonus of SIS per mile
per year for all good roads, the con-
struction of these highways to be alb
solutely in charge of local districts.
/ The Penrose republican machine in
| Pennsylvania has captured the good
roads movement body and boots and
is exploiting it to the political and fl
nancial profit of all those on the in
side, with incidental benefit to the
farmers of Pennsylvania.
In 1903 the state started laudably to
encourage road building by creating
a state highways department and of
fering to pay half the cost of improve
ments. But the Penrose machine saw
possibilities in this department too
good to be missed. Two years later
the first law was repealed and most
of the work of road construction was
taken away from the counties and
townships and placed in the hands OF
the state highway commissioner, who
later was given power to let contracts
to the lowest responsible" bidder
with authority to reject any and all
bids"
: With this discretion, of course, the
, commissioner could give all the work
) to the favored contractors, leaving the
outside bidders to whistle and blow or
their fingers.
, Now the state government Is pro
, posing a $50,0O0.000 bond issue fol
, state roads. The machine has instruc
lions to get out and support it at the
election this fall In spite of the gen
| eral republican reverses, things are
looking up for Senator Penrose. The
I honest voters of the state are abou
to grant his organization $50,000,00'

Upon his nice new aeroplane.

And filled her little old tin cup.

But she splashed the water on his mead.

And said some things that gave Maud

these important public utilities.
The facts already discovered in this
and other recent inquiries by federal
experts make it seem problematical If
the federal investigators advocate the
condemnation and purchase of the
telegraph lines. 1t may be that ap-
preparation of the long distance tele-
phone system will be urged, and if so,
it is more than likely that the experts
will advise no purchase of the tele-
graph properties.
The reason is that the government,
having come into possession of the
phone would find the telegraph use
less equipment. The telephone cor.
porations have stretched their perma-
nent copper trunk lines across the
country. The telegraph companies
still use iron wires, which rapidly de-
teriorate in weather. Recent inven
tions have made it entirely feasible
to use a copper wire for telegraphing
and telephoning simultaneously. Once
in possession of the long distance tele
phone system, the government can al
once begin the operation of telegraph
service
1t is also urged that telegraph stock
is badly watered, so much so that Of
the s2O0,OO0,00O capitalization it is
claimed that only about S50,000,000 is

Think II Over.

Does It help TO say the world is going
wrong?
Does bitterly complaining make you
strong?
Does It ever help your case
To display dismal face
When others win the triumphs that to
you. indeed, belong?
clouds are low;
Does hopeIessness diminish any woe?
Do YOU ever. when in grief.
Find sweet comfort or relief
In boring everybody whom you have the
luck to know?
Does It help you when your ventures fail
TO pay
To advertise your sorrow OF dismay7
Does it ever profit you
When you happen 10 be blue
To spend your time in trying TO make
others feel that way?

REASONABLE STREET CAR COM.
FORTS FOR SHOP MEN,

FORTS FOR SHOP MEN.
Now that the Tri-City Railway COM
pany has succeeded in reequipping its
lines and has a fair number of extra
cars to spare, the subject of sufficient
accommodations On the two main
lines to Moline for shop men during
the evening rush hours IS again being
agitated.
Considerable discussion of this mat
ter was going on last spring, but when
the fire disaster at the Moline avenue
car sheds occurred, and it was real
lied how seriously handicapped the
company was in furnishing adequate
accommodation for the ordinary traf-
fic, TO say nothing of extras, all talk
on this question was considerably
dropped by the men.
But now that the company is in a
fair way 10 meet the demands of the
situation it has been revived. 1t is be-
lieved that few trippers on the main
line between 4:30 and $50 in the aft
ernoon would solve the proposition. 1t
is during this time that the men en-
ployed in the Moline factories are com
ing from work. and it is not an unusual
occurrence that large percentage of
them are obliged, because of the
crowded condition of the cars, to stand
all the way home. To a man who has
been on his feet all day this is consid.
cradle Of a hardship, and while the
men appreciate the convenience of
modern equipment furnished by the
/ Tri-City Railway company, they feel
I that they are entitled to reasonable
comforts in returning from work. They
would like an opportunity TO sit in
the cars instead of being obliged to
stand as is generally the case.
/ There is very little complaint about
/ the morning service az the cars are
not so crowded then, but in the late
afternoon the jam practically crowds
the working men out.
/ 1t f. believed that f lie company
would provide a few trippers during
| the rush hours, for the exclusive use
of the workers, it would remedy con
| ditions wonderfully.
