Rock Island railroad officials are

to get value received out OF the old
Chaplin House situated by the track at
the Park street crossing. For some
years it has been under lease to Mrs.
Cappron, and, after her death, to the

rooms to the New Monroe, under the
same management, the brick has been
idle with a family in it as caretakers.

the decision to either put it in repair
and use it as a rooming house, possibly
a dining house, or tear it down. The

STRANGE CONFESSION.

1t is a strange confession which
United States Senator James Hamil-
ton Lewis Of Illinois, has given to the
public. A Democrat, in whom there
has never been the slightest suspicion
Of reactionary guile, he ventures the
opinion that an extra session of con-
gress may yet be necessary to pro-
vide s50O,O00,000 bond issue 20 pay
off threatened treasury deficits.
1t would be most ironical dispen-
sation of fate which would compel a
national democratic administration to
resort to bond issue of that mag
nitude, with what President Wilson
declares the best tariff law ever en-
acted upon the national statute books.
