EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BOY
Is HERO OF RUNAWAY

An S-year-old boy last night be-
came a hero when he ran before a
team of runaway horses at the corner
of Eighth avenue and Fourteenth
street, Rock Island, and waved his
hands. causing the animals to swerve
and avoid plunging into sewer trench.
None of the eyewitnesses to the heroic
deed knew the boy and his name was
not secured. The team was attached
to one of the wagons of Benson's feed
store. The driver was not in the We
hicle, as he had left the team standing
at the corner of Fourteenth street and
Seventh avenue while he went into a
business house near there. The horses

IS DISSATISFIED
With LIGHT RATE

MY opinion of the rate reduction

pany," said Mayor McConochie yes
terday, lis beautiful allegory cloth
ed in mystery. The person who fig
ured out that schedule of rates is like
the Marquis de Tallyrand-a master
in the art of deception.
While l am not able to solve the
mystery, believe the rate as whole
will increase incomes rather than de-
crease the net revenues of the Peo-
pies Power company. The rate of the
average consumer will, if l am cor
rect in my solution. be increased. 1t
is the same old policy continually
pursued of making the average man
pay the bill, while the large consum-
ers, who in this case are stockhold-
ers Of the company, get the reduc-
tions under a maze of discounts
Il will oppose the acceptance of
any rate until the officials come out
from under the dark, c1ouded rate
schedule and give schedule which
the average man can understand. AS
the consumer would be laboring I'M
der a misunderstanding with refer
ence to the rates and would not under

Of course put their own construction

figuring of the monthly bills, and the
consumer would be none the wiser.
However, l hope, through the eff
forts of the municipal commission, we
shall be able to obtain a satisfactory
rate for. gas and electricity without
carrying the case to the public utili-
ties commission of the state, which I
am much in favor of doing unless the
officials of the company acquiesce
with the demands of the public in

BY SILV|S BOARD
Brick Material for Sixth Street Is Ad.
Vised by Village Officials-Will
Consult Property Owners.

Silvis village board members launch
ed a movement for the paving of Sixth
street with brick, at the council meet
ing last evening. This is declared to
be one of the most needed improve
ments in the village at present
Property owners will be consulted
before definite action is taken and an
effort to ascertain what they will be
willing to do in regard to helping the
project will be made If owners are
favorable to the improvement the paw
ing proposition will be attacked dur
ing the early summer.
Cutting of Ninth street from Second
to Third avenues was also brought up
at the meeting and decision to sound
sentiment of property owners on that
block was reached. The street has
never been cut through, but increased
traffic in the village in last two years
has given rise to demand that this be
done. 1t will also be ascertained how
much the owners are willing to do
themselves in helping the project, and
whether they really want the street cut
through. Matter will be brought be-
fore the council at its next meeting. If
definite decision is reached to cut
through it will be done early next
summer, at same time the paving work
is being started

MRS. STAROFSKY HAS
CHANCE TO RECOVER

Mrs Louis Starofsky, who nearly
succeeded in drawing the curtain on
her life yesterday when she swallowed
a half pint of whisky containing a
deadly poison, is in a serious condition
in her home, Ills Twenty-fourth street,
Moline. DR.. G. D. Hauberg, attending
physician, believes the woman has a
chance for recovery, however.
Mrs. Starofsky today suffered intense
pain. Her mouth was burned, the lin
ing of her stomach scorched and her
whole system weakened so that it is
difficult for her to combat the poison.
No light has been thrown upon what
prompted the act at self-destruction.
Mrs. Starofsky is still so weak that it
has been impossible for her to say
much regarding it.
