MEN TO CLEAN STREETS.

Some day Moline is going to buy
a motorized street sweeper, but not
this year. announced Mayor C. P.
Skinner today, following a confer
ence with a manufacturers repre-
sentative. This year Moline is 60
ing to be old-fashioned and use
hand labor in order that as many
jobs as possible may be given to
unemployed. AS motorized sweep
er costs approximately $1,000 this
decision will mean considerable to
Moliners who are out of work. The
proposition Of buying this street
cleaning outfit has been under con-
sideration for several years. II
conditions had been normal this
year it is probable the investment
would have been made this spring

SIDEWALK PLANS
NOT Be DROPPED
BY LOCAL BOARD
~ 80 Ordnance WIN Be Present.
ID to Moline City Council 1t
Next Meeting.

Moline plans to continue with
the preliminaries OF its sidewalk
plans. and next Monday evening a
$4,000 ordinance will be submit
ted to the city council.
The laying of approximately
three miles of sidewalk ON the
southwest bluff is provided for by
this ordinance. An ordinance for
walks in the lower east end will
probably be introduced at the first
meeting in May.
The bond market seems to have
undergone no change - the ma
terial and labor situation also re-
main the same, and pavement plans
are still being held up: City Off
Gals, however, are still hopeful.
This hope has had the effect on
the board Of local improvements to
finish the preliminary technicalities
in connection with / the sidewalk
program. City ofiicials believe in
the intervening two months before
any contract can be let in MMoline
many things can happen.
Work has been resumed on the
two sidewalk projects which were
started last fall.

Fred Mcdonald. IL years old,
1z12 Sixteenth street, Rock Island,
was considerably bruised last eve
ming when an automobile struck
him - he was crossing an alley
way on Fifteenth street between
Fifth and Sixth avenues, Moline.
Although the boy suffered severe
bruises. he was apparently not very
eeriously injured. The automobile
ran over his right leg. but as it was
going slowly no bones were broken.
E. c. Cassidy, 1904 Twenty-sixth
avenue, was the driver Of the car.
He was coming out Of the alley and
driving west. The boy was with
his parents, but had left them mo-
mentarily to hasten across the al
leyway. Cassidy took the injured
lad to the Office of DR.. A. M. Beal.

ARE REAchEDoN
WHEAT MARKET


Chicago. April 14.-rresh low
record prices for the season we're
reached in the wheat market today.
Bearish reports regarding indus
trial and financial Conditions were
current, and rallies based on a.
srtions that such factors had been
more than discounted were of only
temporary effect. Crop prospects
continued to be against the bulls.
Opening prices, which varied from
unchanged figures to nc lower.
with May $1.22 to SLEEK, and July
$l.0Sh to $1.07A, were followed by
q material setback all around and
then by irregular upturns.
subsequently, lack of buying
brought about new breaks sharper
than before. Liquidation ceased
however. and the market reacted
in the late dealings. Prices never
theless closed weak, 1c to lac nes
lower, with May $1.2lA to S1.2lE.
and July $1.05x to $1O6.
corn was comparatively firm in
the absence OF any urgent pressure
to sell. After opening Nc to &c
lower, including July at 5Shc to
5SAc, the market recovered to
about yesterdays finish.
In corn. all deliveries subse-
quently touched new low figures
Tor the crop. but then same ex-
port buying helped to give the mar
ket a slight lift. The close was
unsettled. at Nc to sc net ad-
vance. with July 59Ac to $3.50.
Oats paralleled the action of
corn, starting unchanged to &c
lower. July 36A @36%c to 36hc,
and later hardening all around.
Provisions were dull and easier
in line with hogs.

FINE CENTENNIAL EDITION

The one hundredth anniversary edi-
ton of the Newark Advocate, issued
Wednesday evening, was the largest
newspaper ever printed in Newark,
and reflects credit upon the entire
force of that veteran publication, but
especially upon the mechanical de-
partment, to whose artistic skill is
due its exceedingly attractive appear
ance. Of course none Of these artists
were on deck at the Advocates birth
although some of the old timers have
been in the harness nearly half that
time, and from present indications are
good for many more years of service.
At the public reception held in the
evening the Advocates new home was
visited by hundreds who were greatly
