ENTHUSIASM DOES
NOT MATERIALIzE
Residents of Andalusia and Lower End
of County Manifest Little Concern
Over Interurban Line.

Residents OF Andalusia and the lower
end of Rock Island county failed to
show a great amount of enthusiasm at
the meeting Saturday night in the town
hall at Andaulsia when consideration
was given the proposed interurban line
to be constructed between Milan and
Muscatine.
Accordingly G. w. Carr of Daven-
port, president of the National Trans
portation and Electric Service corpora
ton, as the promoting company has
styled itself has called a meeting in
another two weeks in the hopes that
in the meantime more interest will be
aroused in the project.
There was only a small attendance
at the meeting and those present did
not appear TO be greatly concerned
over the proposition as explained by
Mr.. Carr. The construction of the line
depends solely on the reception given
the proposition in Andalusia and vi
entity.

PHEhOME NAACAIN
People Look for Pepetition of Appear
ance OF Northern Lights Last
Night, Bat Do Not Appear.
BRIGHTEST IN 40 YEARS HERE
day Than at Any Time Since
1875 This Far South.

Rock Island people who last night
looked for a repetition of the appear
ance of aurora borealis which Satur-
day night was the brightest seen here
in the last 30 years were disappoint-
ed, as the northern lights failed to
show.
Whether or not aurora borealis will
be seen again this summer or fall is
not known. J. NJ. Sherier, meteorolo-
gist OF the local government weather
burea, today said there is nothing up
on which a forecast OF that nature
might be based. He said the phenom-
eRa Is purely a magnetic disturbance,
occurring in the late summer or early
fall That the cool weather OF Satur-
day night may have had something to
do with the appearance of the northern
lights, he said was possible.
Directly after shutdown Saturday
night. while darkness was gathering,
the northern sky near the horizon was
illuminated with light somewhat like
dawn. This created little attention.
for these first rays were very dim. The
illumination seemed to be in the form
of a broad arch, highest near the mag
netic north and reaching the horizon
in northwest and northeast directions
Presently beams of light were no
tiCed crossing the arch with culver
ing or Pickering motion, and shoot
ing toward the zenith. Each beam
varied in brightness, and seemingly
faded away to give place to another.
The phenomena was of unusual bril-
liancy for a point this far south The
beams of light terminated in a point
directly overhead, and reached the
horizon at points far east and west of
the magnetic north. They seemed to
be of a pale yellow hue, shot through
with brighter waves of pale pink AMI
orange.
Seldom as Bright Here.
The northern lights are seldom seen
in this latitude. and seldom with the
brilliancy of Saturday night Farther
to the north they are more often wit

A year of prosperity enjoyed by the
Wabash railroad has brought forth
plans for extensive improvements on
the road, the most ambitious of which
is the contemplated laying of another
track between Decatur, Ill, and Han
nibal, Mo, giving a double track sys-
tenn between these points. The double
tracking of the road through Spring
field also is being discussed. Purchase
o 25 new locomotives is on the pro
gram. Maintenance-of-wa men are
going over the road now to determine
what other improvements shall be
made.

Ill, loves children but he hates odd
numbers. He has II children. Six of
them are girls and five boys. He wants
to add boy SO he can have an even
dozen. The county court here is at
tempting to help him out. Warner has
asked the court, which has jurisdiction

Danger of being stranded far away
