Moline and East Moline
USE TOWNSHIP
FUNDS ON HILL
Paving Of Tricks Assured, Al.
Though Part Of It is Not in.
City Limits.

Despite the fact that South Mo-
line township refuses to pave its
share of Tricks hill, the hill will
be paved all the way down this
year. The Moline town meeting
yesterday afternoon voted to trans
fer $500 to the city treasury. That
will enable Moline to pay for paw
ing that part of the hill not in the
city. Mayor C. P. Skinner intro
duced the resolution authorizing
the township supervisor to trans
fer the money to Moline. It was
unanimously adopted.
Money from the public benefits
fund will be used to pave that part
of Tricks hill not in the city. Four
hundred fifteen feet Of the hill
which forms the south entrance to
Moline is not in Moline. Six hun
dred fifty feet is in Moline. Cost
of paving that part of the hill in
Moline will be, according to engi-
neer's estimates. $3.50. Cost of
the remaining Ais feet will be
$5,577.
DR.. Fred Graflund, who recently
resigned as supervisor of Moline
township, acted as moderator at
the town meeting. O. T. Nelson,
town clerk, was secretary. AL
though the meeting was the annual
session of the electors of Moline
township and every citizen eligible,
only small number attended.
The town citizens recommended
that the next town tax levy be fixed
at $1,000.
Specifications for paving that
part Of Tricks hill in the city have
already been approved by the board
of local Improvements and an CT
dinance probably will be adopted
at the next council meeting. At the
same meeting the council probably
will authorize the board to pave
that part of the hill not in the city.

Carter said, land in addition to
these chairmen of all our general

concerned the Chicago strike is IL
legal and will be treated as such"
Illegal, Stone Says.
Warren Stone, president of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, issued this statement:
THE strike Of Chicago switch
men is illegal and will be SO con-
sidered by the engineers brother
hood. This organization has two

Tieup in Buffalo.
Buffalo, n. Y, April Five
hundred switchmen of the night
shifts Of all the railroads entering
Buffalo, with the exception of the
Erie and Pennsylvania lines, were
on strike last night and this morn
ing. virtually tying all freight in
and out of the city. Up to 1890
a. m. today, the day shifts had not
reported and it is believed the
strike will be general. F. J. Shee-
han, president of the Switchmen's
union, said the strike was unau-
thorized. Railroad officials ex-
pressed the belief that the move
ment was in sympathy with the
Chicago strike.
Superintendent Louis S. Emery
of the New York Central said the
strikers refused to meet with COM
mittee men and no one appeared
able to explain why the strike was
called or what the men were strik-
ing for.
Representatives from the switch
mems union visited all the yards
this morning to attempt to keep
their men on the job and to get
strikers back to work.

The Day in Davenport

Clam Leaves Iowa Body-Wood-
worth Clum, for numbe- of years
secretary of the Greater Iowa as
ISOLATION and a leading figure in
its affairs throughout the state, has
rendered his resignation, and will
shortly sever his connection with
this wellknown organization. Mr..
Clum will become head of the Unit
ed American association in the
state of Illinois. 1t is new organ
ization recently formed in New
York. 1t will absorb the National
Security league and other similar
organizations. The idea is to have
one big central organization with
headquarters in New York and sep
arate units in every state in the
union. MIR. Club will be in charge
of the Illinois unit. The resigna-
ton of Mr.. Clum is now in the
hands of the executive board of the
Greater Iowa association. AS yet
it has not been acted upon, and
therefore no steps have been taken
in the matter OF selecting a sue
cessOr.

gave no reason for not doing so
and had not complained of feeling
i'll. He went to his room at noon
to lie down and was found dead six
hours later. An autopsy was held
and Coroner Ebert stated that Mr..
Mcmahon had been dead several
hours. Death occurred evidently
at about l O'Clock, and was caused
by heart disease.

Bone Planting Operation.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 26.--An
operation on boys skull, marking
a new departure in medical science
was performed here recently by Dr.
G. N. kreider, local physician.
The boy. fve-year-old John W. VIII.
son, was kicked by a horse and his
skull fractured. Two large pieces of
bone were driven into the lads brain
and considerable portion of the
brain substance lost.
Doctor Kreider removed the two
pieces of bone and planted them in
the flesh of the patient below the
lower rib on his left side. BY doing
this the bones we're kept alive for re-
placement in their original position
after the wound in the boys head
healed. Fifty days after the skull
had been fractured the bones were
removed and replaced in the boys
skull. The wound has entirely healed
and the lad is hale and hearty. An
injury, such as he received, eau ses
death in many cases.

Curl Hair This Way
and Keep 1t Healthy

It has been found that the use OF
harmless fluid which druggists
know as "silmerine," will keep the
straghtest hair id curl for the long.
est time, giving it the appearance OF
true naturalness. besides keeping the
mar softer and glossier than possible
with the heated iron. The liquid
should be applied with clean tooth
brush before doing up the hair, draw
ing the brush through the hair from
crown to tip.
The hair will be beautifully wavy
ana curling, and will lie easily ana
loosely on the head, as 1t should,
considering its welfare from a hygl-
enc standpoint. A few ounces OF
nqild silmerine will last for months,
ana as it is really beneficial to the
