NAG HAS HEAVES;
NOBODY WANTS IT
Frailty Develops After Trade
and Police Are Asked to
Settle Dispute.

A SO horse that nobody seems TO
want figures in an unique dispute that
has come to the attention of the po-
lice. Some time ago Albert Freeman,
the grocer in the east end of the city,
bought horse from J. H. Fletcher,
paying $40 for it, Soon afterward, Mr.
Freeman says. he found the animal had
the heaves. He entered a protest with
the former owner. who agreed to let
the animal run in his pasture for a
few weeks to get into condition.
So Dobbin was turned out TO grass,
but Freeman was not satisfied with
the bargain ald he told Fletcher that
he expected the refunding of the pur.
chase price. Fletcher promptly took
the horse out of his pasture and tied il
TO Freeman's barn. Next morning
found the nag once more in Fletcher's
pasture. This passing of the animal
back and forth has been in progress
for several days. Each of the dispu
tants claims the other owns the horse
and Freeman asserts Fletcher owes
him $40. The police. have so far been
unable 10 suggest any satisfactory
plan Of settlement.

EAST MOLINE MAY
SECURE FACTORY
Shirt and Overall Concern
Is Looking for a Loca-
ton Here.
NOW IN AN EASTERN CITY
Employs 200 Women, and 10 Unable
to Get Sufficient Help in
Present Location.

East Moline stands in a fair way
to secure a shirt and overall factory
now located in an eastern city and
employing $50 to 200 women and girls.
Representatives of the concern have
been here looking over the ground and
expressed themselves as pleased with
the facilities that the young city has
to offer.
A meeting of the East Moline Com.
mercial club will be held soon and
it is likely that a committee will be
named to visit the home of the con
Germ and make inquiry into its re
liability. If it is found what it is rep
resented to be every effort will be
exerted to land it.
Lack of sufficient help is the reason
given for desire for change of loca
ton. 1t is said that the Commercial
club of the city, where its present
home is, has endeavored to secure
help from surrounding towns, but with
poor success. East Moline, having
few industries employing women
should be an ideal place for such al
institution.
/ Several other cities are said to bt
bidding for the factory.

BLACK SEA DEAD LINE.
Below 1900 Feet the Poisonous Water
Kills All Organic Life.

Below 1900 Feet the Poisonous Water
Kills All Organic Life.
The Black sea. which in some parts
has a depth of more than $500 feet,
is poisoned by sulphureted hydrogen
wherever the water is deeper than
1900 feet This accounts for the curl
GUS fact that there is no organic life
below that depth. excepting perhaps
some bacteria of very low order. i'm
pregnated with sulphur.
The causes for this phenomenon are
explained by the quick outflow of the
fresh water through the BospoTus.
while salt water coming from the
Mediterranean enters through deeper
current into the depths of the Black
sea. The waters on the surface are.
therefore. controlled absolutely by
horizontal currents Of considerable
force. and vertical currents which
might carry the noxlous gases from
the bottom TO the surface and fresh
oxygen from the surface to the bottom
are hardly ever noticeable.
The water at great depths is 40 satu-
rated with suIphuric gas by the dis
Indignation of organic matter sinking
to the bottom by reason of its weight
that no fish or other living being which
needs oxygen for fits organic system
can exist beyond a stated depth.-L>on

AUTO SKIDS ON WET
CLAY AND HITS POLE

Will Settley, driver for the Pillow
City garage, and c. ]. Zaiser were
given a severe shaking up when an
Abbott-Detroit car, in which they
wee riding, collided with a telephone
pole at Thirty-eighth street and Sew
enth avenue, Rock Island, at II a. m.
today. The street had just been
sprinkled and was slippery from clay
that had fallen on the pavement in
hauling it from tie excavation in the
Thirty-eighth street hill. The wheels
of the car skidded when the turn was
made and the pole was struck head
on. The radiator and front axle OF
the car were bent. and both front tires
exploded. Neither of the occupants
of the car was injured.

MYSTERY OF THE PLAGUE.
How and Why Did It Disappear From
England In 1867?

How and Why Did 1t Disappear From
England In 1867?
Why did the plague disappear from
England? Mr.. Bernard Shaw Incl
dentally asks this deeply interesting
question in letter to the Nation. and
we cannot say that we are satisfied
with his answer. He says he ''knows"
that plague has been rextirpated" by
com mon sanitation"
Until the recent sporadic imported
cases. the last recorded cases of plague
in England occurred at Nottingham in
1867. IN that year plague vanished ut
terly from England for two and half
centuries. No one who has examined
the records of the seventeenth century
can believe that it was "extirpated' by
sanitation. Very gradually in the sue
ceeding century and half plague
withdrew from Europe also.
The date Of its disappearance from
Constantinople has been fixed at about
the year 1871. 1t remained endemic
only in q few lonely places in the
world. such as the highlands of west
ern Ara bia, Yunnan in China and Mes
opotamia. Sanitation. though an ex-
cellent palliative, certainly never drove
the plague from STEAMBOAT and Cairo
and the southern Mediterranean, any
more than it did from England.
The shrinkage of plague is as great
mystery as the recent outburst which
infected the whole world. Perhaps the
explanation is that in few years bac-
terra may go through the myriad trans
forming processes of evolution which
in the case of humanity take cons to
complete.-Pall Mall Gazette.

ADDITION TO MANUAL
ARTS Is UNDER WAY

Work has been started on the addi-
ton to the manual arts building, the
beginning having been delayed by the
failure of material TO arrive on time
The capacity of the building will be
increased by filing in between the
south wings and raising the west wing
TO two stories. The new rooms on
the ground floor viii be used for
bench work by seventh grade pupils,
while the second story addition will
be used fer the continuation school
and the domesticsscience department.
Increase of interest in The work of
the manual training school has been
so great that the lack of room has
been felt for some time. Enrolment
in the various classes is expected to
be heavier the coming term than ever
before.

PARKING SYSTEM
PLAN ADVOCATED
BY NOTED EXPERT
Myron H. West, Landscape Ar
chitect, Speaks to Great
er Moline Committee.
FOUR CITIES INTERESTED
Suggests That Communities Should
Prepare for the Future at
the Present Time.

At the weekly meeting of the Great
er Moline committee held at noon to-
day in the Moline club rooms an in
teresting address was made by Myron
H. West, a well known landscape
architect, who advocated the adoption
of a plan whereby d parking system
could be built, connecting Rock Island,
Moline, Davenport and East Moline.
Mr.. West, who is an expert in beau,
tifying cities, is of the opinion that
the population of the four cities will
in twenty-five years reach 100000 and
that it would be we'll for the authori,
ties to look ahead that far and pre-.
pare for the growth by providing
parkways, boulevards, parks and play,
grounds.
PASS RESOLUTIONS.
A resolution recommending that
committees from the three towns OF
Moline, Rock Island and East Moline
this would not interest Davenport
cooperate in the improvement of the
park system. Mayor NJ. R. Carlson
was named as chairman of the Moline
committee with authority to appoint
the other two members. This commit
tee will confer with committees iron
Rock Island and East Moline and per
feet plans for the proposed improve
ments.
The Greater Moline committee
adopted a resolution urging that the
Rock Island depot be erected this
year. Announcement was made some
time ago that work on the new build
ing would not be started until mex
year.
Mayor Carlson arose to remark tina
the city was in need of car line OIL
the northeast bluff. The matter wa!
laid over until the next meeting.
The committee in charge of raising
the 100000 for the revival of the OLE
Building and Loan association report
ed that they were meeting with sue
cess and would soon have the speci
fled amount.

WOMEN WARRIORS.
Amazons of Old Appear to Have Been
Danes of High Degree.

AIna<onS OF Oio Appear TO tldvo oeou
Danes of High Degree.
For long time ii was held that the
story of the AmaZons, the valiant race
of women warriors, so great favorite
with the Greeks and other peoples of
antiquity, was mere poetic myth, but
within recent years archaeological re-
searches have indicated that there
were indeed women fighters OF high
rank in those remote days.
A couple of years ago there was I'M
earthed sepulcher in that part of Italy
known as Etruria in which was discov-
cred a war chariot of bronze and iron.
wherein was crouched the skeleton of
a woman. About this skeleton were
the remains of rich robes and orna-
ments of gold and ivory, such as in the
old traditions the AmazOns wore IN
battle. The bronze work and the terra
Gotta vases fixed the date Of the tomb
as about;SOO B. G.
The first stories of the Amazons as
signed them to the northeastern part
of Asia Minor, but Etruria was peo-
pied from Asia Minor and had attained
a high degree of skill in certain Of the
arts long before Rome was founded.
Such evidence as this tomb affords is.
in the opinion of more than one au-
thority. more convincing than the pic
lures of Amazons on the old vases or
such legends as that Of Queen Pene-
thesilea, who was said to have led
| 5000 women fighters to the aid Of
! Priam during the Trojan war.-Har-
| per's Weekly.

wnen Feeding. the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright. run up the tubes of the
elephants trunks. Their long, sharp
claws catch in the flesh. and they can
not be elected. The more violently the
monster blows through its coiled trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws of
the little animal become imbedded in
the flesh. Inflammation and death are
the result. In captivity the elephants
think they are in danger of the deadly
chacanas when they see a mouse.

GIVEN VOTE OF THANKS

Instead Of waging a fight against
the abandoning Of street cleaning ex-
cept in the business center of the city.
the civic department OF the Moline
Wcman's club fell in line with the ma
jority of the city commission at it's
meeting this morning and decided to
appeal 20 members Of the club and al
other women of the city to do what
they can to keep streets in front of
their individual premises free from
litter. After Commissioner Clark An.

explained the situation the ladies vot.
ed their thanks for the pains these
gentlemen had taken to make every
thing clear.

LIVING BEfOND INNOhE-
Commissioner Anderson, when ask
ed To give the views of the city admin
istration, explained that the city this
year is living beyond its income and
there seems to be no other possible
way to cut down expenses. Anyhow
an injustice has been worked under
the plan of street cleaning followed
heretofore because those living on IN
improved thoroughfares. where clean
ing is needed just as badly as any
where else. must help pay for the
sweeping Of the improved streets
which are the only ones that are look
ed after. The abandoning OF stree
cleaning in the residence section!
will put all on the same basis.
Mayor Carlson said that such in
convenience as is imposed will be SUI
fered for but four months. for mex
season Il is hoped the city's financia
condition will be such that all pavet
streets can be kept clean.
The need of more revenue for tn,
city was pointed out and an excis,
board advocated by Mr.. Anderson.
