Of Employment by Monmouth
Fire Locate In City.
ARE TO WORK AT. THE. ARSENAL
Scarcity OF Homes and Lodging Quar-.
tiers In Rock Island More Acute
As Result.

Scarcity of homes for rent and lodg-
ing quarters became more acute in
Rock Island today with the arrival of
about one hundred and fifty men from
Monmouth to work at the Rock Island
arsenal.
The men sought employment at the
arsenal as a result Of having been
thrown out of work by the disastrous
factory fire in the Maple city Friday.
Employees of the following factories
were thrown out of work:
Maple City Manufacturing company,
manufacturers of oil cans of all kinds.
Boss Manufacturing company, max
ers of cotton mittens.
Union Carbide Sales company, man.
nfacturers of acetylene gas plants.
Are Tradesmen.
AS most of the employees are men
following trades. they will be able
readily TO obtain employment at the
arsenal, the only deterrent being abil-
ity to find houses in which to locate
with their families. II the number OF
men expected locates here, it will be
the largest single movement of men
TO the government service at the ar
senal since the beginning of the war
| The situation not only emphasizes the
| lack of housing facilities, but will
make a sudden demand for added

CHOLERA SCARES
IN COE TOWNSHIP
County Farm Advisor Goes to Combat
Disease Developed in Shipment
OF Hogs from Wisconsin.
OUTLOOK OF CASE Is ALARMING
Unless Epidemic is Halted Before 1t
Spreads Further Farmers May
Suffer Heavy Losses.

County Farm Advisor Palmer r.
Edgerton left this afternoon for Coe
township, where he will attempt TO
put into effect measures OF precaution
and perhaps request quarantine over
a distance of several miles square as
a result OF a very serious cholera cpl
demic that has developed in that vi
entity.
1t is reported that the disease first
developed In a shipment of 144 hogs
received on the farms OF Mike Muir
ply and Earl FIickinger Of Coe town
ship. The shipment was brought from
Wisconsin and arrived at Port Byron,
from where the hogs were transported
TO the two farms. 1t was since their
arrival that the cholera Is said to
have developed amdAg them. Accord
ing to information in the hands of the
county farm advisor, the disease has
had large opportunity TO spread, mas
much as farmers from the surround
ing country have been helping to fill
the siio belonging to one Of the men
who has the infested live stock. IN
Yestigation of this angle OF the situ-
ation,~whieh Is recognized by Mr..
Edgerton to be a serious one and es-
pecially alarming In its possibilities,
will be investigated by him and every
possible means taken TO prevent fur
Their spread Of the disease.
More Hogs Arrive.
Since the arrival OF the shipment Of
hogs from Wisconsin which have since
developed cholera, $50 more have been
received by other farmers in Coo
township from the same state, and
were also received at Port Byron. II
/ is the belief Of the county farm adj
visor that there is state law provid
ing for the vaccination OF hogs at theil
destination, and this feature Of tbs
! grave problem with which Coe town
ship is now confronted is being delvet
into by him Should the last shipmen
Of SOC hogs develop the disease which
is now ravishing the first bunch re

MAKE DECORATION
DAY ADDRESS

Honor Dead.

For the first time in history a
Confederate Veteran will deliver the
address at the memorial exercises
here on National Decoration Day on
May Both. And the veteran will be
our distinguished Governor, Hon. Nat
E. Harris.
The great war that this country
is now engaged in is doing wonders
to bring closer communion between
the North and South and better
feeling between the one time bitter
enemies of the two sections. Cap
tain Wilson of the National Gene
terry here has been working hard to-
ward this end and it was at his sug-
gestion that Governor Harris was in
vited to make the address. The To-
cal veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy will also be invited to
take part.

Harris would make this address came
Thursday morning in the following
letter:

Harris deliver the memorial address
on the both. Will have the band and
a detachment of the 18th U. S. In
fantry, and detachment of the 9Th

Council to be present and seat on
the rostrum. If you think well of it
please send me the full address of
the mayor, and city clerk, also of
the president of the Ladies Organi-
cation which invited our post.
Do you think it would be possible,
and advisable to have detachment
of school children each to carry a
little American flag, which we would
provide? Please let me hear by re-
turn mail. | returned this morning
from weeks absence in South Ga.
to find myself homeless, and nearly
naked. Did not hear of the fire till
4:30 yesterday, and rode 26 miles to
catch train that would bring me
here this morning. Found my wife
and sister unhurt, but had lost prac-
ticaly everything Hastily,
Yours fraternally,
CHAS. R. HASKINS.

than expected His father and mo-
ther, Captain and Mrs. Fred Morris,

cial instruction.
