Ruth Sends Word.
"I'll bet if Ruth were here she
would know of some better way of
putting up this pineapple, than the
old fashinoed method l am using
unused Ruth's mother, II wish she
was home from her vacation"
Just then the telephone bell rang
and Ruth's voice was heard at the
other end of the wire.

Ruth" observed her mother after a
short preliminary conversation, ~
need your help with the pineapple !
am canning.
"Well, Aunt Minerva is putin up
her pineapple too, and she has such a
simple way Of doing it. Here is how:
We use the leaved end as handle to
hold it by, and pare the pineapple with
a sharp knife, just deep enough to re
move the outer skin. The eyes will
then be seen in spiral rows. Follow
ing these rows we cut groove, or
channel just deep enough to cut out
the eyes. This will leave the pine
apple resembling a large screw. Next
cut off the leaves, split the pineapple
lengthwise and remove the core. Or
if you desire to slice whole, the core
may be removed from each piece af-
terward. Now run along and do just
as I've told you, mother, and you'll
have no trouble"

morning suspended the writ of custer
handed down b. Judge Barker of the
Iowa district court, in the case Of ".
G. Moth. democrat, who was appointed
alderman to NJ a vacancy by Mayor
Mueller several months ago. 4 fight
in the council over the appointment
occurred. The question was then
brought up whether the mayor was a
member of the city council or not, as
his vote meant a victory for Moth
Judge Barker rCled the mayor could
not vote and issued a writ of custer,
putting Moth out of Office. On the
strength Of this ruling, an election was
arranged for the sixth ward, there be
ing only one candidate, Charles Lind
holm, a republican. The election is be-
ing held today.
The supreme court ruling placed the
Davenport officials in a peculiar posi-
ton, but the election is going on just
the same, in spite of the fact that il
may be invalid. Il was thought for
time that the saloons would open this
noon. but they remained closed during
the balloting. The republicans viii
probably base their fight in the mat
ter on the election held today The su-
preme court suspended the writ of
custer. until a final decision is made

AFTER COLLISION
JiTNEY AUTO AND MAIL WAGON
IN miSHAP AT THIRD AVE-
NUE. AND TWENTIETH ST.

y W. Orlendoff, driver of the jitney
BUS which operates between Rock Is
land and Davenport, and George Ack-
erman. in charge of mail carrier
wagon, had narrow escapes in a COLI
sion which occurred at the corner of
Third avenue and Twentieth street at
8 o'clock last evening.
The bus was empty of passengers
and the driver was trying to dodge a
horse which was plunging in the
street when the accident occurred Mr.
Orlendorff Immediately following the
mishap went to the postofflce where
he reported the accident, left his name
and this afternoon called there again,
arranged a satisfactory settlement of
the damages and paid the amount,
which transaction is very unusual and
shows that the bus driver is trying TO
be fair in the conduct of his business
The accident was purely unavoid-
able. A horse started on a run and
the bus driver was steering the auto
mobile from the path of the Infatuated
animal His attention. naturally was
on the horse. and he therefore did not
see the mail wagon. The damage to
the latter was slight
The occurrence was the first acct
dent in which iitney bus has been
factor since the lines were established
between Rock Island and Moline and
Davenport.
