NEW COUNCIL HAS
INITIAL SESSION
J. F. Ryan of Second Ward Only
Member Not on the Old
Board in East Moline.
APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE
Watertown to Become Part of Third
Ward for Time Being-Discuss
Fairgrounds.

East Moline's newly elected city
council held it's initial session last
evening. Technically the council is
new, although j. F. Ryan of the sec
ond ward is the only new alderman.
At last nights session the following
appointments were made:
City Marshal-Glen Coakley.
Patrolmen-Peter Van Nestle. Ed
ward Wilson, Leonard Zones.
Merchants police-Ben Angel.
Street Commissioner-A. F. Griffith.
Fire Marshal-Mart Osborn.
Assistant Fire aMrshal-Albert Os-
born.
The plumbing inspector and city
engineer were not appointed at last
nights session, but the matter will be
taken up at a later meeting.
The council at last nights meeting
authorized the purchase of 500 feet of
hose for the fire department. This
was brought about and immediate ac-
ton taken owing to the fact that a
serious fire resulted a few days ago
because the fire laddies did not have
a long enough hose to reach from the
corner hydrant to the scene of the
blaze.
a petition signed by 100 property
owners was presented to the council,
asking that Thirteenth street and
Sixteenth avenue be opened south of
the city The petition was read and
referred to the streets and alleys COM
lni,tee for investigation, and a report
will be made at the next meeting of
the council.
The matter of fixing up the city
Fairgrounds for the school children
this year during the summer vacation,
was discussed to some extent, and it
was decided to cooperate with the
civic department of the East Moline
Woman's club and a Fairgrounds COM
mittee consisting of Councilmen Lun-
deem, Schleuter and Redden was ap-
pointed to take the matter up with
the club. Other business transacted
was of minor importance.
WATERFOWL Part of Third Ward.
Much discussion followed the intro
duction of a proposed ordi,0,nce for
making Watertown a part of the Third
ward until a new apportionment of
the wards is made next year, but it
was ultimately decided by amending
the present ordinance and making
for the time being Next year, how
ever. when the matter is taken up in
regard to increasing the wards this
newly added section of the city will
become the Fourth ward.

BAD MONEY BEING
CIRCULATED HERE
Police Come Across Counterfeit
$40 Bills and Are Following
Clues.
BEAR PICTURE OF MCKINLEY
Serial Number N 4s263s Thought to Be
on Bogus certificates-Is
Federal Offense.

If you are fortunate enough to be
the possessor of a $40 bill it might be
well for you to scan it closely and see
whether or not it is real stuff, for it
has just been discovered that counter
felt $40 bills are being circulated in
the city.
This morning it was learned that a
number of such notes of the $40 gold
certificate type, and which are said to
be wonderfully clever limitations, are
in circulation here, and the police are
exercising their every effort in tracing
their origin. This is a federal offense
against the United States government
and punishable by a long term in
prison. One bill was discovered this
morning and an effort to trace its
origin and if possible get hold of the
man who passed it, proved unavailing
as no clue can be located by the police.
Have Mckinley Picture.
The counterfeit bills have a picture
of President Mckinley engraved there
on, and the serial number is n 4S2639.
1t is believed that the other bills in
circulation bear the same picture and
same serial number, and those who
come into possession of $40 bills are
requested by the police to scrutinize
being found it is the desire of the
local officials that immediate communi-
cation be established with them in
order that the guilty parties can be
apprehended.

phoned the police Immediately. When
the officers arrived upon the scene
they found Farmer clad in only his

shoes.
This morning he was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Gustafson and fined
$3.50 and told to go to work immedi-
