istics, these breeds can, in most cases,
be counted on to reproduce their dairy
qualities and their ability to produce
butter-fat in large quantities. 1t is

efforts should stick close to one o.

your stomach sours, tongue is coated,

Monmouth Paper Declares Off,
Gals Are Being Taken Away
From Maple City.

According to the Daily Review of
Monmouth, the Rock Island Southern
is moving it's general Offices from the
Maple City to Davenport. The article
follows:
''It's happening. Several months ago
The Daily Review told the people of
Monmouth that the Rock Island
Southern Ry. Co. was to move its gen.
eral Offices away from Monmouth. 1t
is now transporting as told in the Daily
Review. The publicity given the matter
ter on two different occasions prior to
this undoubtedly deferred the Walsh
Brothers from carrying out their plans
to take every thing away from this
city that they can, but now they
have decided. to move and this time
will undoubtedly carry out their
plans.
III. A. Tolberg. chief clerk. and c.
A. Read, chief accountant were given
orders to move to Davenport a few
days ago and today they are thereby
arranging to make the move accord
ing to a reliable informant. The other
clerks and assistants will also be
moved as soon as possible and within
a fortnight all of them will have shak-
en- the valuable soil of this city from
their feet and hied to the city across
the river there to carry out the orders
of the Walsh Brothers. 1t will be the
elimination of the plans of the
Washes to strip Monmouth of all
visible compensation the city had for
the $15O,000 of money spent in bonds
when the line was built to the north
AT the time the Washes attempted
the move before, which was several
months ago, j. w. Walsh declared
with unusual emphasis that there was
nothing to the statement. However,
reporters for the Daily Review knew
different at that time and know that
the owners of the road have bided
their time and used all the stealth
at their command to get the offices
away from here without the people
Of the city knowing it.
