It was his first ambitious venture In
literature, and Adrian Moore had be-
gun the reading of his little screed
with fear and trembling. Then, as he
got into the soul Of his subject, he for
got self and was almost brilliant in
his delivery.
All his former trepidation returned,
however, as he came back to the harsh
realities with the last sentence en-
inundated. II was q little skit OF
pathos, romance and description. tho
result of a two.weeks' vacation in the
cider country" downstate, Just as an
tique and crude in the present as half
q century before.

group forgot stern impractical routine

Our attention has been called to
the fact that there have been no dan
ger signals OF whistling posts placed
along the state highway In Logan
canyon and there are a great many
automobiles which use this road con
stantly. Some OF the drivers make
the sharp curves at fast rate oil
speed The more dangerous places
should be designated by properly
placed signal boards, or there may
be accidents occur which could 9th
erwise have been avoided. The mat
ter of CIRCULATING speej at the dan
gerous curves Is an important one
and should be attended to before II
is too late and some one has some
thing to regret.

HOTEL MONEY is
TAKEN BY YOUTH
Telephone Operator at Manufacturers
Fails to Return From Bank
With $221.S0 in Cash.

Given only the short period OF 40
minutes in which to make his getaway,
David Wenrich, youthful telephone
operator at the Manufacturers hotel,
has for nearly two days eluded police
officers Of Illinois and Iowa placed on
his trail as completely as though he
had vanished from the face of the
earth. In possession of the boy is, or
was at time of his departure, $221.S0,
the property OF the hotel.
Custom at the hotel has been to send
the telephone operator to the bank to
have checks cashed and to get needed
change for the manager. Saturday
night at 7:20 Wenrich was given a
check for SIS and other checks and
bills and sent to the bank. the amount
with which he was entrusted reaching
S221.S0 When he had not returned TO
the hotel at 7:45. another empIove of
the hotel was sent to the bank to make
inquiries concerning the delay. He
was informed that Wenrich had been
al the bank. transacted his business
and left with the money The lad
still missing at s o'clock, a warrant
was sworn out for his arrest and the
search began. Police at Muscatine.
Clinton, Peoria and other cities in Hi
nois and Iowa were at once notified,
ana every tram leaving lnlS CITY was
thoroughly searched, but not trace
of Wenrich was found.
The boy came to the hotel about six
weeks ago. He arrived from Daven-
port. and upon recommendations of
Davenport people Mr.. Leavens gave
him a situation as elevator cOnduc-
tor A short time thereafter he was
given a job as bellhop and then was
placed in charge of the hotel switch
board. He was a well-educated boy,
and had received military school
training His industry and apparent
ambition had made him a favorite at
the hotel, and his habits were of the
best. He claimed TO be a native of
Nenia, Ohio, and information concern
ing him is being sought from author
tiles there.
Opinion Of hotel and bank officials
here is that the lad had no intention of
stealing the money when he went to
the bank or when he emerged from
there. Belief is that he was met on
the outside by someone who knew him
or who had noticed the money which
he carried, and that he was either in
duced to decamp with the cash by that
person or that the mysterious stranger
took the money from him and that the
lad was afraid to return with tale of
being robbed, and therefore made his
getaway.

MELON PATCH RAID
BY EAST END BOYS

Police court has its terrors for many
hardened offenders, but it is no boyle
for a number of east end lads. With
the knowledge fresh in mind that they
would be arraigned before Police Mag
istrate GUstafsOn the next day on a
charge of breaking and entering the
refreshment stand of BOxman & Son
at Three-Eye park early this month,
eight or ten of the boys summoned to
appear decided to bunch their offenses
against the law and have all their
grief and woe in one large bunch.
Satiated with pop, grape juice and
cigarets, the boys turned their atten-
ton 10 other matters and sought new
fields to conquer, and the first field
that their eyes fell upon was one be
longing to R A Fuller. a Moline mail
carrier, which said plot contained a
number of large, ripe watermeIons A
raid was at once made on the field and
when the cOnquerors had departed the
field looked like Belgium swept by the
Germans, and Mr.. Fuller was shy
some two dozen Enthusiastically all
that was left on the ground. War
rants were sworn out for the youths
and they viii appear before Nagis-
trate Gustafson this afternoon.
Case of BOXman & Son against the
% east end boys, aired in police court
Saturday, probably will be settled by
payment Of damages claimed by the
refreshment stand proprietor on a pro
rata basis by the accused lads A
Of the boys have agreed to
settle, and the matter probably will be
without further prosecution

SUNDAY SEES PRICE
OF COAL INCREASED

Prices of coal continue TO soar.
Over Sunday quotations on the fuel,
already high. went higher, particu-
larly on anthracite. On the Chicago
market today, according to kilograms
received by Moline dealers, premium
of rs cents u ton was being offered for
hard coal.
Prices of coal in the tri-cities are
always higher than in Chicago be-
cause of the difference in freight rates,
the difference usually being about Is
cents ton.
With the increases on the Chicago
market today, hard coal in Moline was
selling at $10.25 a ton and every indi-
cation points TO an increase of so cents
a ton on Oct. /, which will push the
price up TO $10.75.
Prices on soft coal of the ordinary
furnace varieties was also high,
Springfield coal being quoted at $425
a ton and southern Illinois at S. ton,
with an increase of % cents a ton on
both varieties for Oct. l.
Car shortage, labor shortage and
high freight rates are back of the high
rates. Dealers, if anything, are max
ing less profit on the present prices
than they formerly did with the lower
rates.

CLOTHING STORE is
VISITED BY A THIEF

A. G. Blomgren of the firm of De-
Wolf & Blomgren, Fifth avenue cloth
iers, upon his arrival at the store this
morning discovered that attempt had
been made to gain entrance to the
building. Some time Saturday night,
or during last night, the effort was
made at the door leading into the store
from the west side hallway A screw
driver or knife had been employed by
the wOuld-be thief to extract one Of
the small panes of glass, about by 4
inches, from the door, near the lock
The fact that the lock was a new one,
of latest pattern, had baffled him, ap-
parently, or he had been frightened
by the approach of late pedestrians
The work had been accomplished so
neatly that only a careful observa-
ton at close range disclosed that the
door had been tempered with, and Mr..
Blomgren asserted that II could easily
have been done Saturday night, and
overlooked on his visit to the store
yesterday. The glass and wood taken
from the door had been concealed in
small closet in the hallway, nearby.
There was no evidence that the man
had entered the store.

MAN FROM DRY LAND
HALTS LONG DROUTH

Ed Nelson, newly arrived here from
the arid prairies of North Dakota, be
lieves firmly in the eye for an eye and
tooth for tooth doctrine. Following
long drouth in that prohibition ter
ritory, Ed is strongly in favor of a
long souse in less restricted localities.
Not satisfied with being shared in po-
lice tolls Friday on a charge of toting
more liquid joy than is considered
proper in polite circles, he became
highly surcharged again yesterday,
and once more ran afoul of the law.
He declared one Johnson was the au-
thor of all his woe, and that he had not
purchased the liquor here on the Sab
bath. His toll was $3.50.
AXel Erickson was also fined for
drunkenness, 81 and costs being his
portion.
