WILL INSTITUTE
NO MOLINE Nest
Ninety-T Candidates for
Membership in Owls Will
Join in Rock Island.

There will be no nest of Owls in Nc
line. This was decided upon at a
meeting held in Rock Island Sunday
evening. Ninety-two pledged candi-
dates for membership from Moline will
instead of forming nest of their own,
join the one in Rock Island.
The strength of the Eagles in Mo-
line was given as the chief reason for
the decision against taking out a char
ter. The Eagles are popular in this
city and many of those who desired %
become Owls are also members of the
older society. Inasmuch as the two
organizations are of a somewhat SINH
lar nature and there is a general de-
sire to avoid any friction. it was
thought best to let the Eagles remain
alone in the field.
| The Rock Island nest of Owls, al
ready a strong one, will welcome the
addition of nearly hundred members
from Moline.

the mans body hurled through the air
the conductor applied the air brake
with such violence that several cars
was impossible to tell whether the
negro's death was caused by striking
the ground or by being struck by some
Of the derailed cars. A cloud of dust
hit the scene of the accident so that
spectators could see but little.
Pollard's skull was fractured and
the right thigh crushed. He died in

BUT ONE FAILS TO PASS
Milk Samples Snow city's Supply to
Be Reasonably Pure.

Reports on city milk show that all
dairies are up TO the standard in but
ter fat and that all but one dealer is
handling an article that is sufficiently
free from bacteria. This dealer gets
his supply from Davenport and tests
showed that his milk contained as high
as $4,000 bacteria in each cubic cen
timeter, a quantity about equal to Is
drops. Four dairies supply this milk,
man, and these will be inspected with
view OF learning the source of the
contamination.

SAYS BRYAN SHOULD
USE SPRING WATER
Bristow Thinks Secretary Of State Can
Live Within Salary by Cutting
Out Grape Juice.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrnE.I

Washington, July l5.-"Cut out the
grape juice and stick to spring water, "
was one of the suggestions hurled at
Secretary Of State Bryan this afternoon
by members of the senate and congress,
Bryan's declaration that his salary rs
secretary of state was insufficient to
enable him to maintain both his homo
in Lincoln and his position here, arous.
ed considerable comment.
"Men go on vacations" said Sena.
tor Bristow, "in order to recuperate
their strength and render better service
for the remainder of the year. A man
using his vacation to earn money ex-
hausts HIS mental powers and by so do
ing is not treating his employer right,
If the employer is paying his salary
during the vacation,
"lf Bryan followed the sound doe.
trine of serving only pure spring water
ON the table instead Of this nauseating
grape juice, | feel sure he would have
no trouble in living within his salary. /
understand grape juice is cheaper than
champagne, but it is not so economical
nor so good as spring water"
"The solution of the whole matter
lies in cold water"
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, took a
different view Of the situation.
ANY man in ordinary MEANS" he
said, ought to live within $4,000 an.
nually, If Bryan lives on more, in my
opinion, he ought to devote his atten.
tion to decreasing expenses rather than
increasing his income"
Senator ollie James, of Kentucky,
defended Bryan.
