CITY IS AFTER
NEAR BEER men
Officials Working on Ordinances
Which Will Place Product
Under License.

CITY officials are determined TO place
the near beer men il the category
where they belong. according to Off
cialdOm, that is. their product should
be licensed just the same as any other
alcoholic liquor, and to that end Com
missioner Anderson proposed an Ordi-
nance at the meeting Monday whereby
wholesalers would have to pay $500
and retailers 500.
Mayor Carlson wanted to go him
one better, however, so he requested
that the proposition of the commits
sioner be held over, stating that he
himself was working in conjunction
with the city attorney on a movement
to bring the dealers under the regu-
lar federal laws, whereby they would
have to ante the regulation 81 LOCO to
the city for license.
Action was therefore postponed for
the present, but il is understood that
the matter will be thoroughly gone into
within the very near future. and the
officials are in hopes of devising a
sure and certain means of letting the
public know when they are drinking
booze" either disguised or otherwise

ONLY ONE BID FOR
A POLICE RUNABOUT

Whether the city officials did not
properly spend the amount necessary
in printers ink for advertising for
bids for the new police runabout or
not is an unknown quantity, but the
fact remains that there was only one
bid submitted, that of Fred Ostlund,
which called for a Ford roadster, two
passenger, at $449. The necessary
electric lights called for by the speci-
fications will cost an additional S25.
Following the law relating to such
matters, the final answer was deferred
or the present, but in all likelihood the
bill will be accepted.

WALKED TWELVE MILES

John Hansen, aged 81 years, was
found dead on the rear porch at the

The old man had walked distance
Of 12'miles from the county poor farm

that ne was about to pass to the great
beyond, he started from the infirmary

his destination yesterday afternoon in
a haf-dying condition. He said he
just wanted to say goodbye TO one
who had befriended him during his
adversely.
Mrs. Andersen allowed him to sleep
in the barn, bu. cary this morning
being in the t1roes of death, and IN
able to walk, it is thought he cTawled
to the perch and attempted to make
Mrs. Anderson hear.

WARE milk AND
SEDUCTIVE ice"
Sample Analysis Shows Star
thing Results-Prosecu-
tons Will Follow.

City Chemist L. A Frit;e, under the
direction of DR.. ]. H. Long, has made
tests of thirteen milk samples and
four samples of ice cream, which is
being panned off on Moline patrons,
as pure" Eight of the milk samples
did not contain enough butter fat and
showed an excessive amount of bac-
terra. One dealer had gone so far as
to use formaldehyde as a prescrvative
in the milk he had on sale. This rev.
citation will doubtless result in the pay
ment of stiff fine by the offender with
probably a Jail sentence. Authorities
are making a rigorous investigation
ard intend to punish the guilty dealers
to the full extent. Arrests are eX-
pected to follow shortly and the names
of those who have been found to
dope" their milk and ice cream Will
be published.
The exposure comes as a severe
jolt, as the wares. of several dealers
were regarded beyond reproach.

NATION. MOT STATE. WILL
PROSECUTE BLAckMlAILERS

Washington, Aug 5.-The release
from cusn2dy at New Orleans of the
agents of the department of justice
charged with accepting a bride to
prevent the arrest of former Governor
Brito at Campeche, Mexico, means. it
is believed by officials here, the trans
fer OF the case from the state to the
federal authorities. The meager Of
fetal advices received by the depart
ment of justice lead officials to con-
clude that the state charge of black
mail originally preferred against Spe-
cial Agent Matthews, J. l.. Mott, his
assistant, and the Mexican, Fernan-
dea practically had been dropped, and
that the federal government would
now investigate to determine whether
any attempt had been made to solicit
a bride b. those accused. This would
/ be a federal offense. The charge of
, blackmail was originally preferred, it
is said on the assumption that the
telegram directing the arrest of Brito
was fake. but as this was a genuine
dispatch, the allegation resolves itself
/ into question of alleged bribery.

ACCEPTS PASSENGER CUT
Great Western Gives Notice Ending
Long Litigation Over Rates.

st. Paul, Mimi. Aug. 5.-The Chi
cago Great Western railroad will, with
in 10 days, PIT into ecect, the new .
cent passenger rates as ordered by the
United States supreme court in it's
recent decision in the Minnesota rate
cases. This announcement was made
last night following a conference be-
tween Attorney General Smith, rail-
road commissioners, and officials of
the Great Western.
The injunction preventing seven rail-
roads from enforcing the , cent pas
senger rates, granted by Judge San
born, never had been dismissed in the
case of the Great Western.
The state had filed notice it would
seek dissolution of the injunction
against the road, and many believed
the result would be a long period of
litigation.

CORROBORATION
# Interest to Argus Readers.

For months Rock Island citizens
have seen in these columns enthusi-
astic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Rock Island residents. Would these
prominent people remommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed if personal ex-
perience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy of endorsement? The
following statement should carry con-
viction to the mind of every Argus
reader.
Mrs. A. J. Johnson. 40 Ninth street.
Rock Island, Ill. says: Il still think
as highly of Doan's Kidney Pills as

nended them. l had been suffering

Henry and Joseph King. the broth

Details OF the new cure are not

II is known that at least in one case,
that Of Mrs. II. W. Johnson. the

after the woman had been suffering

a merely nominal charge, so small, in

That was brought about by one small
porker which had slipped through q
