ELKS REALLY WIN
2PARADE AWARDS
Rock Island Lodge First Given
Prize for Neatest Appear
ance, But Later Change.

It now develops that in reality the
Rock Island lodge of Elks won two
prizes at Peoria Thursday, when they
participated in the parade held in con-
junction with the state convention OF
the antlered tribe.
The local lodge was first awarded the
prize for the neatest appearance, the
judging for such plaque having been
conducted first. Later the task OF
counting the various delegations was
undertaken and it was learned that
the Rock Island lodge contained the
greatest number of marchers.
The judges then awarded the prizes
for the neatest appearance to the Mo-
line lodge, not desiring to give more
than one prize to one lodge. Moline
made the second best appearance in
the procession.
The Peoria Herald Transcript says:
Rock Island would have received the
plaque for the best appearance had
they not also had the largest number.
1t was >the unanimous opinion of the
judges that the Rock Island men pre-
scented the best appearance, but when
figures were compared and it was found
that the same town was the largest,
it was thought best to split the prizes"
The delegates from the local lodge
returned home last evening.

BARN is DAMAGED
IN A 500 BLAZE
Fast Work of iremen Saves
Building Belonging to Nor
ris & Lewis Company.

A barn on Twenty-third street, be-
tween Second and Third avenues, be-
longing to Morris & Lewis Co., was
damaged to the extent of 500 in fire
at $3.50 last evening.
The flames had a good Roadway
when the fireman reached the scene.
and it was only after 80 minutes of
hard work they succeeded in saving
part of the barn and the surrounding
structures. The fire is supposed to
have started from spontaneous COM
bustion. A fresh load of hay had been
paced in the barn during the morn,
ing, and it was entirely consumed. The
roof and part of the walls of the barn
were also destroyed.
The locality is a dangerous one for
fires. on account of the many wooden
in the vicinity.
The loss is covered by insurance.

Ninety-five graduates of the Rock
Island High school were presented
with diplomas last evening at the grad
Mating exercises held at the Empire

of the board OF education made the
presentation.
The invocation was pronounced by
Rev VI. l. Chatley of the Memorial
Christian church, after which the
high school orchestra rendered Schu-
berts March Militaire." Mr.. Cleave-
land in giving out the diplomas said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: As the
representative of the board OF educa-
ton. I am glad to see this large and
representative audience present at tine
annual commencement exercises of our
high school. Your presence here this
evening bespeaks not only your per
sonaI interest in the young men and
young women who are completing
their high school course. but | take it
as also evidence of your general in
terest in our public school system
Those of you who have children at
tending school doubtless follow to a
greater or less extent the development
of our school work. and ! desire at
this time to urge upon you and the
citizens of this city in general. a more
active and intimate interest in our
schools and in the work that is being
done for IL is only with the earnest
and enthusiastic support of the people
OF Rock Island that we can secure for
our public schools the highest stand
ard of efficiency and development, and
that support I know will be more
eheerfully given II our people keep in
close touch with the work the schools
are doing.
cit is and has been the aim of the
board OF education TO so broaden and
develop the scope OF our school work
that will afford the largest possible
good to all of the children enrolled on
our books. and with this in mind, num-
erous changes have been made in the
courses of study and in the employ
ment of the children's time spent in
the schools"
THE changes made and contemplat- /
ed are not radical, nor are the plans as
yet complete. but we have endeayored !
to adopt only such ideas and practices |
as have received the approval OF the /
best informed educators. These plans /
do not contemplate taking up the time
Of children with so called frills and
fads-but on the contrary II is hoped
and expected that results will be most /
Useful and practical
I'm a general way IL is expected a /
plan will be evolved that will give
70 each boy or girl that education L
which will be OF the most value to his
whether his circum-
stances are such as to only permit him
TO remain in school during all or a
part of the grammar grades - or
whether he be OF the more fortunate

MARINES HONORED
BY RELIEF CORPS
Flowers Strewn On Waters of

Fires a Salute.

The Woman's Relief corps, accom-
panied by a band, Company A, and
several hundred school children, pro-
ceeded to the Mississippi river at the
ferry docks, after the Memorial day
parade had ended this morning. The
ladies boarded the ferry and on the
way over flowers were strewn on the
water, in honor of the marines who
have passed away. After the firing of
a salute by Company A they marched
back to the court house square.
The custom has long been in vogue
on Decoration day. In former DAYS
when the naval reserves were located
In Rock Island they conducted the sa-
lutte In honor OF the dead sailors. but
since the station was discontinued
here the ceremony has been in charge

BUCK DEER |S FOUND IN CITY
Driver for Copper Queen
 Finds Wounded Animal
 Practically in Bisbee; The Case Will Be Investigated

A buck deer was found yesterday morning practically within the city limits of Bisbee. A driver of one of the wagons belonging to the Copper Queen Company went through South Bisbee and noticed the dogs worrying some animal which was down. He in vestigated and found it to be good sized wounded buck deer He put the animal in his wagon and con tinued on to Lowell. He was advised to kill the animal. 1t being wounded from several gun shots. At last re- ports, however. the deer was still alive and possibly could recover.
 A deputy to the State game warden was acquainted with the affair yes terday morning and started to make an investigation of the case. Shoot ing at or killing deer at this season of the year is contrary to the State statutes and punishable by a heavy fine or imprisonment, or both. The deputy game warden will try to run the matter to earth and locate the party who shot the animal
 It is thought locally the deer is the same which has been seen in Tombstone Canyon several times dur. ing the past few weeks.

WEIGHING OF
 MAIL BEGINS
Start to Be Made This Morn- ing Over E. P. & s. w.
 System; Will Determine Contract Price for 4 Years

Beginning this morning the Bisbee postoffice force and the Fl paso x Sopthwestern officials having in charge the matter of handling the malls, will begin two months period of weighing all mail matter under or. ders from the postoffice department.
 The purpose of the order Is Co de- termine the average daily amount of mall carried by the railroad under its mall transportation contract When this average is determined it is used in the making of the contract price which shall govern for a period of four years. Each four years the weighing process and the striking of an average is repeated In the interim there is no recompense received by the carrier fer mail matter in excess of the average found in the weighing period. The fact that the introduc. tion of parcels post came about mid. way in the present four year contract and that the greatly increased ton mage of mail from Bisbee has been hapdled since that time at no addi. tional cost to the government, by req son of the contract. provides a local illustration as to how this system works and why the railroads have been complaining about the extra bur den put upon them by parcels post
 The weighing which will begin this morning in Bisbee will also com. mence in every other postoffice on the El Paso & Southwestern system with the assembling of mail today. It means a great deal of extra work for the divisions in the posto1ice and the railway service which have the busi- ness Of keeping track cf ard checking the weights. accurate records of which are required daily and are forwarded
