BULLISH CROP
ESTIMATE PUTS
UP wheat PRICE

Chicago, Aug. 9-Wheat prices
showed firmness today in connec-
ton with signs OF further export
buying and with relief that the
government report this afternoon
would confirm private bullish crop
estimates. Moreover country offer
ings were only moderate. Houses
with northwestern connections led
the buying. Initial quotations,
which varied from unchanged flg
ures to l cent higher, with Sep
TENDER 1929 to 1924 and Decem-
Der 1.251s to LIE were followed by
gains all around and then some
thing OF reaction.
Subsequently active demand from
the seaboard had a bullish influence
and so too did the first threshing
returns from Canada. Prices clos
ed unsettled, 1Ac to &c net higher,
with September at 1.23 II to 1-23%
and December at 1.26A to 1-27..
Corn sympathized with wheat
strength. After opening unchang-
ed to a higher, including Septem-
Der at 5712c to $3.50, the market
continued TO harden.
Later, increased offerings to ar
rive checked the advance. The
close was nervous, 40 Ac to3sc net
higher, with September 67Qc to
577sc.
Oats were governed by the ac-
ton of other cereals, starting I'M
changed to 1sc higher, September
&c and then scoring additional up
turns.
Higher quotations on hogs help
ed to lift provisions.

(. MOLINE MAN
TOUCHES HIGH
VOLTAGE WIRE
Roy N. Reynolds is Eleetrocuted By
1900 Volts at Almendinger
Coal Pocket.

Roy NJ. Reynolds, a workman on
the Almendinger coal pocket in
East Moline, was electrocuted at
1880 this morning when an iron rod
he was carrying came in contact
with a high voltage wire carrying
$4,000 volts.
Reynolds was tossed into the air
and fell so feet to the ground,
striking his head on a rail at the
foot of the structure. The report,
similar to the sound made when
lightning strikes, was heard all
over the downtown district.
The Almendinger coal pocket,
situated between Seventh and
Eighth streets and Fifteenth ave-
nue., is composed of four towers,
none of which is completed. ReyT-
olds was at work on the highest
tower near the railroad tracks.
Within 10 feet of him were hung
the wires Of the Peoples Power
company carrying $4,000 volts.
While moving one of the iron rods
used for reinforcing the concrete,
he accidentally touched wire.
An inquest was held at Ange-
vines undertaking parlors. The
coroner's jury decided that Reyn-
olds came to his death by coming
in contact with high voltage wire
and falling on the ground, struck
his head on a rail"
Al Almendinger, manager of the
company, declares that he repeat
eddy warned the workmen to be
careful. The power company also
sent up a representative when the
building was first started to advise
the men to avoid the wires.
The deceased was 81 years old.
He married Miss Helen Otte of
East Moline a short time ago and
the couple had made their home
with the brides parents at 452 Sew
enteenth avenue, East Moline.
He had been in East Moline only
about a year, being employed at
the Marseilles plant before work
ing on the Almendinger construc-
ton job.
He was born in Sycamore, Ill.
and is survived by six sisters and
three brothers in that place.
Funeral announcements have not
been made as yet.

MANY FEET OF
WALK IS LAID
IN PAST YEAR
Prices Are Cheaper Than at Any
Time Since 19l7-90,000 Square
Feet Is Constructed.

The past year has been a prosper
Moline. Nearly 10000 square feet
of walk has been laid during the last
II months.
Prices have been less during this
period than at any time since 1917.
All of the work is being done by
private firms and there is over half
a dozen companies engaged.
Ordinarily sidewalks are con-
structed by the city, which let's a
contract for a large number of
walks. and then levies the cest on
abutting property-owners. This
year, however, contractors and men
who never have been contractors,
got busy and induced many owners
to order walks without waiting for
action by the city.
In most cases these walks would
have been constructed either late
this fall or next spring under mu-
nicipal contract. The cost would
have been much higher, however,
as the contractors would have paid
in bonds and not cash.
Another cause for the low price
this year is that almost all of the
projects have been easy to handle.
They lacked difficult grades and
other features requiring great
deal of preliminary work before the
cement was laid.
A sidewalk ordinance passed by
the council month ago, originally
provided for construction of about
$4,000 square feet in the east end.
1t now contains only $4,000 square
feet, the rest having been provided
for in private contracts.
The same is true of the bluff dis
trict, where only $4,000 square feet
remain out of $4,000.

MISSOURIANS

Sedalia, No, Aug. 9.-Missouri is
one of the most typically American
states in the union, and Missourians
are distinguished by their common
sense and balance as well as their
LOYALTY. Senator James a. Reed told
the crowds at the Missouri Centen-
NAL exposition here this afternoon.
Senator Reeds address was the
principal one of the day.
Missouri" he declared, is yet
sound TO the hearts core. The
metal of her manhood and woman-
hood is as infiexible as at the hour
she entered the union.
The material progress OF the
state, its study adherence to the
sound principles Of free govern
ment and the high type of its Amer
icanism is accounted for if we re-
member that Missouri is in no
sense a sectional state.
Originally settled by venture
some spirits from Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, who brought
with them the institutions, romance
and chivaIry of the old south. her
latter population came largely from
the north and east bringing with
them the virtues and sterling quail
ties of that great region. From this
comingIing of he descend
ants of the Cavalier and Puritan,
there was developed a people pos
sessed of the virtues of both
strains; yet free from the narrow
ness and prejudice which had char
acterized each blood. Thus was de-
veloped the Missourian, the typical
American
Mother OF West
From Missouri have flowed the
tides of immigration which largely
peopled and gave character 20 the
states of the great southwest and
the Pacific coast. AS Virginia is
the mother of the south. SO is Mis-
souri, the mother of the west.
LAS Doniphan, the Missourian, in
the war with Mexico struck the
most important blow. so Pershing,
the Missourian. in the World var.
struck the blow that shattered the
German forces and saved the allies
from destruction"
Senator Reed paid tribute to ear
" Missouri statesmen, and partic-
ularly to Thomas II Benton. whom
he described as a man who sacri-
feed his career rather than indorse
doctrines dangerous to his country

Moline and East Moline
ARMED NECROS
STEAL FLOUR,
ARE ARRESTED
Policeman warren Of East Moline
Captures Two Men After
Short Scrimmage.

Quick work on the part of Pa
trolman g.. A. Warren of the East
Moline police department caused
the arrest of two armed negroes
and the recovery OF 16 sacks of
-four they are alleged to have stol-
en-.
Warren was walking his beat this
morning about $3.50 when he no.
ticed a car driven by two negroes
stop by the side of an empty store
building on Thirteenth street AMI
Fourth avenue. One of the negroes
got out the car and went into tile
building, the other remaining at the
wheel.
Thinking that something was
wrong, the patrolman went to tie
door of the building and demanded
that it be opened
Get away from that door, -
threatened The man within, "or I'll
blow your head off,"
The policeman instead kicked
open the door only to find a 3S gun
jammed up against his stomach
when he finally made an entrance.
He quickly pushed his gun and
aashlight into the Negroes face and
III the scuffle that followed over
powered him.
At the station the car was found
to contain 16 large sacks of flour.
The negroes gave the names of
Mike Johnson and James Scott,
both of East Moline
The police are of the opinion that
the flour was stolen, although both
negroes swear ts the contrary. A
carload of flour laid over in East
Moline for about two hours last
night and they may have stolen the
goods from there.
