SUPERVISORS IN

May Meet Thursday to Consider
State Aid for Public

The board of supervisors may be
called in special session on Thursday
in this city. A petition for the sign
lures Of IS members of the board is
being circulated and it is expected
that the names will be secured before
night. The members will then be
notified by the county clerk by mail of
the gathering.
The special meeting is called for the
purpose of taking action on the ac-
quiTing of Rock Islands share of the
state highway tax. 1t will be remem-
bered' that under the provisions of the
Tice good roads bill the automobile
license money will be used for the
building of roads. Each county will
get a share of the moley based on
the amount of money each raises.
II is understood that the sum OF
$4,000 has been raised by private sub
scriptions through good roads associa.
tons which may be available to the
collty. The law requires that the
state and the county share equally in
the expense of building roads and until
this cCunty's share is raised, the sum
from the state cannot be secured. At
all events the chances are none of the
money can be expended on highways
this year.

HEAT SUFFERER
SLEEPS ON Walk
Lies on Hard Bricks, Clad Only
in Soft Shirt and Smile
is Arrested.

There was one man in Rock Island
last night who determined to be cool
if the shedding of superfluous cloth
ing would produce the desired results.
His name is Albert Shannon.
Early this morning Officer Gruby
was pacing his beat in the vicinity
of Twentieth street and First avenue,
when he came upon a man peacefully
sleeping in the middle of the side
walk, where ne could receive the full
benefit of the river breezes. All he
had on, in addition to natures gar
ments, was a soft shirt. He was taken
TO the station and this morning, after
a pair of trousers had been unearthed
for his benefit, was dismissed.
Shannon arrived in town yesterday
and secured a job as porter in local
saloon. 1t appears that the porter is
permitted to walk behind the bar and
help himself to the suds, when incli
nation dictates. Shannon was ex
ceedingly thirsty and at closing time
was decidedly under the weather. He
retired to his room, but the heat be
came so oppressive that he walked
downstairs and made his bed on the
sidewalk.

SMALLPOX AGAIN
STARTS IN CITY
Frank Sturm Is Taken Ill With
Disease While at Work
at Silvis.

While at work in the boiler room
at the Silyis shops yesterday Frank
Sturnl, 527 Thirty-eighth street, Rock
Island, was taken suddenly i'll and
when a physician was called it was
found that he was the victim OF a well
developed case of smallpox. Imme-
diately after making the discovery the
shops were closed down and the en-
ployes sent to their homes. This
morning corps of physicians visited
the plant and every man who had not
been vaccinated recently was COM
PEELED to submit to being vaccinated
before he could return to his work.
This is the first case of the disease
that has made its appearance for sew
eral weeks and it was thought by the
city health department that the eRi-
demic that recently visited the city
was under control. No other EN-.
ployes of the shops who have been
exposed show symptoms of the dis
ease and the health authorities deem
it fortunate that Sturm's case was dis
covered before other employees of the
plant had become inoculated.
