CLEAR TITLE OF.
CITY TO STREET
Agreement Approved BY Court
May Remove Obstacle Over
Fifteenth Street Paving.

An agreement in q condemnation
suit was approved today by Judge
@. o. Dietz Of Moline city court.
The suit was started by the city Of
Moline against Arlington J. Knuck-
.el. The agreement will clear the
city's title to Fifteenth street be-
tween .Twenty-sixth and Twenty
seventh avenues. It is believed that
the agreement will also remove one
Of the chief obstacles in the way
of confirmation of the Fifteenth
street district paving project. An
appropriation by the council is nee
essary before the title passes to the
city.
Knuckel agreed to give title to a
strip Of ground 30 feet wide and
230 feet long between Twenty-sixth
and Twenty-seventh avenues for a
consideration Of $500. The city al
ready has title to the other 30 feet
Of the street. The city was unable
to pave that part OF Fifteenth street
as long as It did not have title to
the entire width of the thorough
fare. One of he reasons why the
pavement pToject/was dropped last
summer was failure to have this
titled. The Fifteenth street district
project provides for paving num-
Der Of streets and avenues in the
southwest part OF Moline and is not

COUNTY TAXES
ARE TO SOON
Be COLLECTED
Railroad Assessment Received and
Work, Begun on Extend.
ing Rates.

Taxes for Mercer county will be
slightly higher this year than last,
according to the new state rates,
and figures being compiled from
those sent from Springfield. The
figures on railroad assessments
we're received at the county clerks
Office yesterday. Memorandum tax
books will be ready for distribu-
tion as soon as the rates are COM
piled.
Land values in Mercer county
have been increased s per cent by
the state tax commission and the
state rate was placed at 4, per cent.
Figures on the complete tax for
this county are not available yet
because Of the delay in receiving
the railroad assessment. Employees
in the county clerks Office are bus
lily engaged in extending the rates
and taxpayers will know within a
week or two the amount Of their
taxes.
County Treasurer C. A. Friese
anticipates the best tax collection
this year that Mercer county has
shown for some time. His hopes
are based on the new system
which will be used. MIR. Friese has
been praised by the attorney gen.
eral Of Illinois on his foresight in
laying out the plan Of memorandum
tax books, which make it possible
for the persons in outlying dis
tricts to pay their taxes at a bank
in the respective townships.

MOLINE BRIEFS

N. Mcnamara of Kansas City,
Mo-. failed to appear for trial in
Moline police court yesterday after
noon and lost SO by staying away.
He was arrested last Saturday
night on a charge of fighting on a
Burlington train. L. F. Fryer of
Davenport, arrested on the same
charge. appeared and was dismiss
ed without a fine.
Two air guns were confiScated
yesterday in Moline. Chief Ben
DeJaeger says the guns are dan
gerous and will not permit them to
be used on the streets. A city ordi-
nance prohibits use Of air guns in
Moline. Boys who have received
the guns as Christmas presents
will not be prosecuted for first Of
lenses but Chief DeJaeger advises
the boys to 60 out in the country
or else provide a shooting gallery
for themselves in their own homes.
Boys are boys" said Chief De
Jaeger. I'VE don't want to be hard
on them, but the guns are danger
ous."
Gust Carlson and another man
booked as John Doe," were ar
rested last night in East Moline on
a charge Of intoxication. They will
be arraigned before Justice Niles

SCORES BETTER
IN TOURNAMENT

Scores in the ragtime bowling
tournament were somewhat better
last night than those the night be-
fore. There is still room for i'm
provement in the totals, according
to those in charge. The entries for
the sixth annual interstate bowl
ing tournament in Aurora on Jan.
% were mailed last night from
here. Teams will leave probably
about the 18th of January.
Men bowling in the doubles last
night were in better form than the
previous night and two scores were
presentable. Olin and Miller were
leading with a total Of 1,160 and
Volentine and M. Parkman followed
with 1.144. 1t is expected that the
games tonight will be far more in
teresting and better attended than
any previous tits. This is based
on the fact that tonight the men
will turn out better and enthusiasm
will be stronger.
In the singles events last night
Miller took the high points with 6S4
and Olin followed the lead with Just
ono less point, 583.
1t has not been decided as yet
how the team will be arranged
when they meet in the interstate
tournament at Aurora, but there is
confidence in the men that will
represent this city.

BY ELOISE.

, The junior miss and the "sub-deb"
are so often slighted by the fashion
designers that almost any dress
especially made for these hard-to-
please and hard-to.fit young girls
is welcomed with a sigh of relief
by their mothers. Although the
coat suits always appeal to them
they really should not wear them
for it takes q rather mature figure
to look we'll in a blouse and sep
arate skirt. The one-piece frock.
however, is always safe and it is
universally becoming.
Here is q smart taffeta frock
which Is Just the thing for the
young miss. It is simple yet its
hip rufHes and panels and raped
bodice artfully conceal any gawki-
ness or angular lines which are so
often the main features Of the
young girls figure. This frock is
pretty and practical when made Of
navy. or French blue taffeta. but
1t IL also good in brown. taupe or
rose color. 1t 10 . pretty fad to
have the rufiles, the panels and the
sleeves and neckline faced with
some vivid contrasting color which
shows now and then whom, tho pert
little miss hounces around.

CORN RECEIPTS
SHORT, PRICES
MAKE A GAIN

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Fresh strength
showed itself in the corn market to-
day. largely as = result Of continued
scantiness Of receipts. Besides, ex-
port demand for wheat, rye. barley
and oats tended also to lift the value
Of corn. Profit-taking sales which
became quite free on the upturn
failed to bring about any important
reaction. After opening 1sc to Inc
higher, with January 1856 to 1.35x
and May 1.331b to 1881, the mar
ket sagged little, but then ascend
ed to above initial top prices.
Chicago, Dec. 31.--Later, the ad-
vance was more than wiped out.
High rates for call loans had a
depressing influence. and so too did
prospects Of fair sized deliveries on
December contracts. The close
was heavy, &c to 3Mc net lower,
with January 1881 to 1885, and
May 1.31N to 1872.
Oats rose with corn. Opening
quotations. which ranged from &c
to &c higher. including May at
S3Hc to SAC, were followed by
slight further gains.
Strength in hog values and in ce-
reals made the provision market
firm. The bes; inquiry was for
lard.
subsequently, belief that there
would be heavy deliveries OF lard
on January contracts led to consid-
erable weakness.
