MOLINE is FREE
FROM SMALLPOX
Only Is Cases in All From Feb
1 to July 1, According to
City Physician.

In a report submitted today Dr.
Perry H. Vessel, city physician,
states that the city of Moline is en-
tirely free from smallpox. During the
period between Feb. l and July 1 of
this year there were 16 cases here
OF these the contagion in five was
traced to East Moline and Silvis, three
others were exposed by a patient
who came here from Des Moines and
another trio obtained the disease from
a patient who was trying to evade
quarantine
In each of the 16 cases quarantine
was established for AZ days, all pa,
tients being cared for at city ex
pense at the pest house. Those ex
posed were quarantined for Is days
! where successfully vaccinated and
where vaccination was refused or un
successful for q days. AT one time
there we're 16 exposed persons quar-
antined in one house, u in another
and IL in third.
The report calls attention to the
| fact that Moline has escaped Will
| less smallpox during the period re
ferred to than the majority of cities
of its size.

MUFFLERS MUST
Be USED At NIGHT
Riders of Noisy Motorcycles in
for, a Season of Trouble
With Police.

If you have been disturbed in your
slumbers by the spiteful sputter of
motorcycles running with the mufflers
cut out you need suffer no longer. All
that is necessary for you to do is to
arise, run down the maker of the of
fensive noise, capture him and turn
him over to the police, who will do
the rest.
Chief o. N. Bisant today stated that
an order had been given to all patrol
men to arrest motorcycle riders who
ran with muffler cut out between Z
p. m. and I a. m. There is an ordi
nance prohibiting the operation OF
any motor vehicle in the streets of the
city without the use of the muffler be
tween the hours given, and a number
of arrests have been made The de
tense in such cases usually has been
that it was impossible to run without
making the noise that was objected to
Now. after investigating and being
assured by dealers that there is abso
lutely no excuse for the noise thai
many auto drivers and motorcycle rid
ers permit their machines to emit, the
authorities are prepared to exac
penalties for violations.
Commissioner Eastman stated to
day that the passing of an ordinance
making it unlawful to operate motor
vehicles with mufflers cut out at an!
! time. either day or night is being con
sidered.

RUSHED TO THE RESCUE.
Then They Made a TaetfuI, IL isnob!e,
Retreat to Safety.


An amusing story of the adventure
that four men had with an irritable
bull is told by a correspondent of the
London Field. 1t contains n hint that
may be useful 10 some reader who
shall hereafter find himself in SINH
lar diSagreeable situation.
A farmer had bull that he thought
perfectly docie. One day he was
quietly walking behind the herd when
without any warning the bull turned
and came straight at him. He had a
heavy club in his hands. and he struck
the animal with all his might over the
head and eyes several times. when the
club broke. For the moment he did not
know what 70 do and thought it was
all over with him. when he remem-
bered that some one had told him that
bull would not attack you If you lay
down, so he threw himself fiat on his
face and shouted for help. and three of
his men who were not far Off came
running to the rescue.
When they got within about twenty
yards he told them to come on their
hands and knees, and in this way they
came up alongside of him. The Ques-
ton then was what to do. They came
TO the conclusion that the only thing
left was for all of them TO retreat back
ward on their hands and knees. This
they did. and the bull. never more than
yard off. followed them up with his
head slightly on one side Meanwhile
he snOrted and beloved, and his eyes,
showing all the whites. looked, the
farmer said, as if they would come out
of his head. At last the men reached
the river bank, slipped over the edge
and so escaped.

Departments.

Instead of reducing the number Of

the city's expenditures within its in
come for the year, plan was present
ed az today's meeting of the board of
commissioners for the reduction of the
street department. Commissioner
Cialk Anderson fathered a resolution
which was introduced and il is being
given full discussion this afternoon. By
the new plan e is believed that from
SO 900 to $4,000 can be saved in a
year.
Reduction of the police and fire de-
partments is being strenuously oppOs-
ed by business men and citizens gen.
orally on the ground that it would i'm
peril life and property. and therefore
would be false economy. Mr.. Ander-
son urges that the reduction of the
street cleaning and repairing force
would cause merely inconvenience,
which all should be willing to endure
rather than see the city's credit i'm
paired.

The plan is to cut the force for
sidewalk and general street work
down to 10 laborera and five teams,
and to keep but four men in the clean.
