Residents of Washington street from the city line northward are com- blaming of the exceedingly dusty condition of this section of road. which is state road they say, and should have some sort of dust reducer put upon it at once-
 Though the large number of auto- mobiles that use the road during the day, scattering the powdery surface into the air and all through the ad- joining atmosphere, residents say that conditions in the day time are almost unbearable and at night it is as bad and those who would sit out on their porches to enjoy the evening cool are driven into the house by the constant clouds of dust.

MOLINE FOR ROCK
ISLAND IN FIGHT
Suspicious of Rule Which Gives
One Baseball and Not the
Other.

Moline regrets Rock Islands failure
TO land place in the Central associa-
ton. for two reasons. When Moline
was being considered as a candidate
for the vacancy in the circuit. Rock Is
land refrained from advancing its own
claims. and even went so far as TO eX-
tend assistance. Then the objection
which was urged against Rock Island
yesterday at Burlington. that of terri
torial supremacy of the Davenport club
OF the ThreeI league. would obtain
with equal force in the case of Moline,
and might indeed have been raised if
this city had tried to go through with
its fight for place
Moline's interests are bound up with
those OF Rock Island in this matter.
and sooner or later the question will
have 10 be settled. Until a final de-
cision is made, at least, Moline and
Rock Island will do well 10 stand to-
gether and make common cause.

GAMING THE CULPRIT.
The Marks 1t Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

In a London police conrt recently a
teacher in a public school was prose
cuted for assaulting pupil by Gaming
F, him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him to a
physician on the evening of the day
of his caStigation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the offenSe
which had caused ii, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says:
"a blow from cane causes at the
time an appreciable amount of pain
(Which. by the way. is what it is in
tended to do, but it leaves behind a
mark quite out of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this. having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood. the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to q his share by
inflicting upon the seeker after truth
sharp cut or two. the results OF
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
for a time. but only for about an hour !
while there will be visible on the well |
protected and tender skin of the back /
for some days wheals which would |
harrow the heart of any mother
In other words, boys back after |
Gaming looks far worse than it feels.
