What is considered as the oldest
business building in Aledo is be-
ing torn down-the old Transit
house, for years a hotel but of
late housing the Mercer County
bank.
Over fifty years ago, on April
2S, 1869, to be exact, Mrs. Downs,
a widow. purchased the site on
which the structure now stands
for the purpose of erecting a ho-
tel. At that time there were but two
hostelries here, one, the Button
house being operated by A. P.
Brown, and the other. the Union
house, in charge of Mrs. Downs.
The former stood on the site now
occupied by Newton's grocery.
while the Union house fiourishe1
on the ground upon which now
stands the building of Emrick,
Owsley, Haas & Co, dry goods
and clothing dealers.
Mrs. Downs planned building
A feet in width and go feet long
and of three stories with a man
sard roof. 1t contained approx
mately 80 rooms and was consid-
cred one of the most modern hos
telries in this section o. the state.
Work of eXcavating the cellar
began shortly after the purchase
of the site. Contract for building
was let to Ed Crosier and the lum-
Der for the edifice was obtained
from the Edwards, PiDkerton Lum-
Der company, partners in which
were j. W. Edwards, now tele-
phone and theatre man in Aledo,
his father, and Mr.. Pinkerton.
1t is interesting to note that just
prior to beginning work on the
new hotel the first train to reach
Aledo rolled in on finished tracks.
This momentous occasion for the
of Mercer county was on
March Is, 1869. Mr.. Edwards
states, in this connection, that the
first train brought also the first
consignment or lumDer and sup

New Bathing Beach-'Why not

that will cost $4,000 or upward ?"
several Davenport business men
ask. They point out that the island
is an ideal spot for swimmers and
bathers.

MANY statesmen
ARE SUCCESSFUL
IN The TRI-CITIES
Securities Of All Classes Offered
for Investment in This Reputed
Buying Field.

1t is a surprising fact that the
tri-cities have a reputation as
great field for absorbing stocks,
bonds, and securities of all nature,
so that the amount of investments
made in this community in all
classes of securities is tremendous.
All bond houses that make it
their business to underwrite new
issues never fail to look to this
community to take up a goodly pOr-
ton of their securities as soon as
they are put On the market. The
number of representatives from
other than local houses, soliciting
from outside, in Rock Island,
make up a good many visits during
the day for any capitalist, bank or
investor here. These, however,
are for the most part reliable ven
lures or nearly so.
The smaller man with savings is
not seen very much by this high
class of bond statesmen, but he is
solicited by any amount of agents,
canvasseTs, Offering all kinds of
stocks that the ordinary cautious
investor who is experienced
wouldn't consider for a moment.
They offer the blue sky" securi-
ties, those with a prospective in
come only, having as their backing
simply the welkin. The amount of
money which has been taken out
Of this community by this class of
house to house canvassers offering
stocks and securities with prospec-
tive profits has been estimated by
those in a position to know to be
as high as $75O,OO0 The stocks of
extremely speculative order are
rarely ever saleable, because they
are sold TO people who are not con-
Yersant with the market for much
more, sometimes double, the mar
ket price-and that much over
what they could of been bought for
through the banks, brokers OF
other agents. The buyer who
then offers his blue sky securities
for sale finds that he has simply
thrown away half the money in
vested, and if he wishes to realize
the other half he must find some
one else as credible as he.

OPERATED ON,
ALEDOAN DIES
J. r. Kirby, Farmer Near AledO,
Passes At Galesbnrg Fol-
lowing Illness.

A sudden illness, necessitatins
a serious operation resulted fatally
for J. r. Kirby, well-to-do farmer
and stockman just north of Aledo,
at the Galesburg hospital this
morning. Death came at !
o'clock. Deceased was about 4.
years of age.
Mr. Kirby was well liked in this
vicinity, having come here about a
year ago from Berwick. Ill,
settling upon the farm of the late
Horace Bigelow, which he had
purchased. He was apparently
we'll until just a few days before
death, being seen and talked TO on
the streets by friends only last Sat
urday. On the evening OF that day
he was taken suddenly i'll and on
Sunday evening was rushed 10 the
Galesburg hospital for an opera
ton which was deemed necessary
in order TO save his life.
Surviving besides the widow,
Irma, are a daughter, Miss Marie,
two brothers, Ralph of Berwick,
ILL.,, Harry of Howard, Kan; three
sisters, the Misses Jennie and
Lena of Berwick, and Mrs. c. L.
Baldwin of this city. He leaves
also his father, J. Kirby of Ber-
wick.
Funeral arrangements have not
yet been completed but 1t is
thought probable that the remains
will be laid to rest in the Berwick
cemetery. Mrs. Kirby and her
were at the bedside when
death came TO the husband and
father.

New York, July 9-Certain spec
ulators and certain market COM
mentators may rail at the federal
reserve board because of the queer
money market we are having these
days and they may in measure
be correct in their deductions but
we cannot overlook the fact that
opponents of the constructive side
of the stock market for majority
of the specialties and not actuated
by altruistic motives. 1t is a mar
ket in which a sensible business
man may become moderately com
mitted to rails, coppers and steels.
l expect increasing bull activity
and lower prices as the street grad
ually realizes that there is no per-
manent escape from high rates on
money but rather the outlook is for
even higher rates when after peace
ratification we take up the job of
financing Europe. Present prices
of stocks have discounted today's
crop report, tomorrow's steel tom
mage statement, in fact everything
but the surprises which generally
favor lower quotations.

Scarcity of offerings became so
pronounced that for the first time
the September option went to a
premium over July. Excellent

only a temporary barrier to the ad-

large extent by new record-break-
ing high prices on hogs. Opening

light trade, mounted to nearly 81
