about the quarrel which led up to the
public beating administered by the
woman TO the man. number of eye
witnesses had different stories of SON
sational nature to tell and all are
quite worked up over the affair.
Still the bottom of each of the rum
ors has fallen out because police to-
day found out that the couple are mar
ried and that the affair at Eighteenth
and Second last night was probably
only the finish of a domestic quarrel.
At least Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley YER

day when they were arraigned I'm

Woman Chastises Hubby at Corner OF
Eighteenth Street and Second
Avenue Last Night.

It didn't make much difference to
her whether she broke the umbrella
when she hit him over the head with
it, as she had no further use for it,
last night, because the police came
along and picked up the couple, plac-
ing them in the city jail, protected
from the elements.
Anyway there were a large number
of people in the loop who saw her do
it and a crowd Immediately cOngre-
gated at the corner OF Eighteenth
street and Second avenue expecting
him to come back to her. Whether or
not the police arrived too soon to pre-
vent retaliation of the blow, or wheth-
er he had an idea that he would hurt
her with kindness, he has not as yet
explained, SO his intentions are only a
matter of conjecture.
But they did have a lovely time
making the cafes and enjoying the
cabaret entertainments and perhaps
some, because police said
today that their Investigations in the
matter revealed the information that
both had had at least several drinks
in them.
However, police are very, very silent

SELECTS MARKET
SQUAREFOR SHOW
Mississippi Valley Fanciers' AssOcia-
ton Granted Right to Use Seven
teenth Street.
EXHIBITION Is IN NOVEMBER
Municipal Commission willing to Per-
NIT Construction of Tent in Heart
of the Loop.

From the screeChing syncopated
music of the merry-gO-round during
the centennial in June to the crow or
hundreds of fowl during Thanksgiving
week is the transition through which
Market square is passing.
Commissioners Murrin and Juhl OF
the municipal commission and Archie
Hart and DIR. o. NJ Myers, directors or
the Mississippi Valley Fanciers' asso-
citation, met this afternoon TO arrange
plans for the erection of a tent at Mar
ket square, where the poultry show
will be held in November.
DR.. Myers and Mr.. Hart appeared
before the commission yesterday and
requested the right to use Market
square to erect a tent to house the
birds. They pointed out that there is
no building in Rock Island available
for the show and that in the event that
this city will be unable to provide
place to hold the exhibit it will go to
Moline or Davenport.
Municipal authorities today practi-
calIy agreed to grant the request, hold
ing that the exposition will bring hun
dreds to Rock Island from miles
around. While officials are reluctant
to permit Market square being used
for private purposes, the public bene-
fit to be derived from the show de-
mands that concessions be made, they
claim.
Under present plans it is arranged
to erect a tent 100 by so feet. Care
will be taken to locate the canvas
house so that room is left for vehicles
on the west side of the street as well
as on the east side.
Expect 5000 Birds.
Directors of the Mississippi Valley
Fanciers' association say that Rock Is
land is going to have the privilege this
year Of being the scene of the great
est exhibition of fowl ever shown in
the upper Mississippi valley. They ex-
pect 5000 entries in the various
classes of fowl

8. n. Johnston Places Misslsslppl River
Power Company on His Books
Today for ConsIder-
able Amount.
BRINGS MATTER TO HEAD
Question OF Violating Agreement
Made Back In 1907, Will Be Set-
tied Within Short
Time.

An assessment of s16,OOO,000 has
been entered on the assessment
books against the Mississippi River
Power company on all of its holdings
within the city of Keokuk. by 8. H.
Johnston, city assessor. The assess
ment is made by Mr.. Johnston in
accordance with the law of the state,
which provides that in case the valu-
alton is not given by the persons or
company assessed, the assessor has
no option other than that of assess
ing the property at 100 percent more.
/. 1t is understood that Mr.. Johnston
thought 100000 would be a fair
assessment. Upon the power COM
pany's officials not approving the
valuation, the assessor has no option
but to increase the valuation to $751;
100000, 1t was stated.
This means that II the assessment
is allowed to stand that the power
company must pay city, county, state
and school taxes on 100000. Last
year the power company paid taxes
on 100000 valuation.
This assessment Of the power COM
pany's property at the rate Of S16,-
100000 brings to head all Of the
controversy which has been waged
recently as to whether or not the
Mississippi River Power company
should be assessed in violation of
the gentleman's agreement made at
the time that the power company
constructed the dam and power
plant here. That the question will
be settled on this issue in some equit-
able manner seems to be assured in
view of the action Of the assessor. A
conference was held today between
persons interested, to discuss the
matter.
At the time that the dam and
power plant were built the property
was exempted from taxation for
period Of twenty years. This exemp-
ton was granted by the board of
supervisors of Lee county, the board
of supervisors Of Hancock county,
the city councils Of Keokuk and of
Hamilton. At that time, it seemed
that there was plenty Of sentiment
in favor of the exemption policy and
no opposition was found to it,
The Lee county board OF super
visors made its exemptions to date
from January 1907. The exemption
resolution shows that taxes were
exempt on all real and personal prop
erty as we'll as on the franchise, cor
porate stock and individual shares.
