Following a heated alteration in a

Charles Nowack of Chicago, slashing
him across the right side of the face
The victim dropped to the floor, while
bis assailant dashed out. of the bar
room and made his escape. Later IN
the afternoon Sergeant Kinsley and
Officer Kirsch captured Wilcox at his
home, where he had crawled into bed
This morning he was held under $500
bonds for assault with a deadly wea
pom and his case continued until Oct
4. Nowack was given immediate med
ical attention, it being found neces
sary to take 10 or 10 stitches. His
condition is not considered serious.
REFUSED DRINK.
According to facts gathered by the
police, Nowack was standing up 10 the
bar eating some sardires.
Wilcox, who had evidently beer
drinking, entered and stepping up to
the old man, asked him to buy drink
Il will buy drinks for no one but

Becoming enraged, Wilcox whip

BURGLARS VISIT
HOME OF EAGLES
Enter Front Door by Means of
Pass Key and Take $50
from Strong Box.

The Eagles home, located at TWen.
ty-first street and Fourth avenue, was
burglarized last night, the thief or
thieves securing $50 in cash from a
strong box located in the store room.
The police were Immediately notified
and are OF the opinion that the rob-
berry was an "inside" JOB. AS yet no
arrests have. been made.
An entrance was effected to the club
rooms by means of key, the burglar
calmly walking in the front door. The
store room, in which the money is
kept, is bolted from the inside. The
panel of the door, just opposite the
bolt was cut out sufficiently to per-
NIT of hand reaching in and loosen
ing the small steel bar The strong
box was pried open and its entire con,
tents taken. The police believe the
job was pulled" by some one familiar
with the premises, as the man or men
knew exactly the right spot in the
door where the bolt was placed, and
sawed out the surrounding wood &C.
cordingly. Nothing else of value was
taken.

SYSTEMEMPLOYE
IN STREET REPAIR
Commissioner Reynolds Has
Uniform Plan That Is Ac-
comprising Things.
EVENING UP THE PAVEMENT
Follow Up and Checking Arrangement
That Stops Abuse of
Privileges.

Commissioner R. R. Reynolds sys-
tenn of repairing the paved streets has
made such remarkable progress dur
ing the year that it has now extended
to most sections of the city where
the pavement has been worn or de-
stroyed. Mr.. Reynolds is using the
best of the discarded brick taken from
the streets that have been repaved
in this work, thus not only economic
ing, but at the same time putting the
paratively good condition.
The scheme is one that originated
with Mr. Reynolds and will tend not
only to improve the appearance of the
streets and make them more service
able, but will in many instances save
the property holders the expense of
entire new paving.
HAS RIGHT IDEA.
It is because of Commissioner Rey-
nolds' zeal to have all the paved
streets put in as fine shape as posi-
BILE that he is so firmly opposed to
indiscriminate tearing up of the pave
ment. AS it is where an emergency
exists that he considers unavoidable
he has a filing system in his Office in
which all permits are alphabetically
arranged and in his department is an
inspector whose duty it is to follow
up all work where excavations are
made and see in what manner the
pavement is restored, not only imme-
diately after the job has been done,
but after the replaced pavement has
/ had time to settle and report his find.
ings to the department II the paving
| is not properly replaced, those who
have had the permit to disturb it are
required to go over it again at their
own expense.
THE RIGHT SYSTEM.
This is getting the street repair
work down to system and the effect
is being shown all over the city, much

SALE OF POISON
MAY Be LIMITED
DR.. Craig Urges Commission to
Restrict Distribution of
Bichloride Of Mercury.

At the meeting of the city commits
sion yesterday afternoon, DR.. G. G.
Craig, city physician. not only discuss
ed the smallpox situation but also
made a report on the careless sale of
certain poisons. He said:
Another matter l would like to
bring TO your attention is the danger
TO life due to carelessness in selling
certain poisons, especially bichloride
of mercury Tablets of this strong
dangerous poison are used indiscrim-
inately by d certain class of people
10 make an antiseptic wash. The
common amount sold is small bottles
containing 100 tablets, retailing for
about % cents. Recently a wealthy
man took some of these tablets by
mistake and to show his nerve stated
on his death bed that death from BIZ
chloride of mercury poisoning is pleas
ant This grewsome statement was
published in the metropolitan newspa-
pers as a story from coast to coast.
Immediately there followed an cpl
demic of attempted and many success
ful attempts of suicide. Many people
ere weak minded and very susceptible
to suggestion. Such articles are read
and deaths follow. In my own prac-
tice have recently had one attempted
suicide case and today l had a case
of child finding one of these bottles
containing some tablets in an alley
near where she lived at 2407 Seventh
avenue The child swallowed the poi
son and is not yet out of danger.
Il would like to bring this matter
TO your attention and suggest that an
ordinance be drawn up preventing
the sale of b!chloride of mercury with
out a doctors prescription.
Another matter of great import
ance is the diphtheria antitoxin ques-
ton. Rock Island has been almost
free from this disease for several
months. During the past week six
cases have suddenly appeared scat
tered in different parts of the city,
The antitoxin supply furnished by the
Illinois state board of health was
again soon exhausted and all we could
get was obtained from Moline. The
supply kept for sale by the druggists
is also exhausted. This is limited be
cause of the mixed up conditions
caused by the free antitoxin supply
l know of no physician who carries
any private supply. Some have fur
nished antitoxin at their own expense
and when they tried to collect for il
we're asked If they sold the free anti
toxin. Therefore, no one, neither
druggist or doctor, cares to handle
diphtheria antitoxin. The supply
should either be adequate or the dis
tribution of free antitoxin should be
limited to those who are too poor tC
purchase it."

WAR DECLAREDBY
ORIENT FORCES
Engagement Begins in Moline
Turkish Forces Retreat to
Rock Island.

War was declared in Rock Island
and Moline last night between Turkey
and Austria, although hostilities were
stopped by the police before the en-
gagement had fairly started. For
time, however, the aspect was threat
ening and blood shed seemed immi-
nent. The principals, three in all,
this morning were arraigned in police
court and all drew 2O-day sentences.
The Austrian army was composed of
Mike Yamich and Joe Raoaul, while
the honor of the Sultan was upheld
by Mike Chichich.
The battle began in the De Kaiser
Third avenue saloon. just over the
Moline line. The Turk became en-
gagged in an alteration with the Syr-
ians and by way of emphasizing his
points, whipped out a or and threat
ened to carve his debating opponents.
The Syrians then became enraged and
pursued the Turkish army, using a
supply of brick bats for ammunition.
The Sultan's forces, now in full
fight, retreated over the border line
and into Rock Island, taking refuge
in the August Hanson saloon. Here
Chichich fell upon his knees and
begged for protection. Officer Lloyd,
bearing the dove of peace on his Shout
der, entered the bar at this juncture,
and calling the patrol, conveyed the
hostile forces to the city bastile.

and last evening No. 5 was up for a
hearing. Mrs. George Moody was ar
rested on complaint of Mrs. Alta Gear
foss, the complainant alleging that
Mrs. Moody's dog bit her 3-year-old
child, infiicting ugly wounds. When
the case was tried, Mrs. Moody did not
deny that the dog bit the child, but
claimed the animal did not belong to
her A minute later she admitted that
she paid the tax for the dog, and the
court found her guilty. She was fined
81 and costs and warned by the judge
that if she did not 'tie her little bull
outside the police would send it to
the happy hunting grounds.
