Officers of East Mollne Company See
- Great Promise fur That
Suburb.
C. II. Pope, president of the East
Moline company, is very -sanguine in
regard to the prospects of hast Mo
line. The beginning of work on the
Kock Inland shops at Pleasant Valley
has caused a revival of ac
tivity in that vicinity, and
capital is looking that way for
investment. Oeorge XV. Kuss, of Chi
cago, has been secured by the East
Moline company as manager, ami un
der his direction new enterprises are
to be undertaken looking to the fur
ther development of that suburb.
'The geographical advantages of
East Moliue are not fully appreciated
by our people," said Mr. Pope in an
interview. - "I speak only the naked
truth, as I see it, when I say it is the
natural center of the great industrial
west. I have given this subject con
siderable thought . and have studied
conditions as thej- exist generally
throughout the west, and it is my
judgment that within the territory
mentioned, manufacturing has only
begun, and that the industrial cities,
well located within this agricultural
area, will, within the next ten vears.

among the industrial centers of in

features. It is surrounded alt nr;if.

Mr. Bom Talks.
The new manager of the East Moline
company is just as positive . in his
judgment as is Mr. Pope. He ex
pressed himself as follows: "P.efore
deciding to accept this position I
informed myself on the Kock Island
snop situation. J hese shops are to
be much more extensive than is com
monly understood bv the people of
this community. As I understand it,
they contemplate not only very ex
tensive switch yards, about 00 miles
of track, repair shops and stock
yards, etc., but also locomotive and
car construction. About the highest
class labor we have is; employed for
this kind of work. The nronoseil

DANDRUFF CAUSED BY-GERM
A New Dlscorery That Kills the Germ and
Prevents Baldness
Pretty nearly all the hair prepara
tions for dandruff have some merit
in allaying itching of the scalp and
in being a fairly good dressing for
the hair, but there is only one that
recognizes what causes dandruff, fall
ing hair and baldness, and that de
stroys the cause, a little germ and
that is Newbro's Herpicide. This
germ eats its way into the scalp,
down to the hair root, where it saps
that vitality, jcausing dandruff as it
digs up the scalp into little white
scales. Unless it is destroyed there
isno permanent stopping of falling
hair and cure of dandruff and bald
ness. . Newbro's Herpicide kills the
germ. "Destroy the cause, you re
move the effect." For sale by T. II.
Thomas, druggist.
Ilobbed the Grave.
A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as fol
lows: "I was in an awful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin
ually in back and sides, no appetite,
growing weaker day by day. Three
phj-tdeians had given me up. Then I
was advised to use Electric Bitters.
To my great joy the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they
robbed the grave of another victim."
No one should fail to try them. Only
50 cents. Guaranteed at Hartz & Ul

BISHOP SPALDING SAYS
SOCIALISM IS IMPOSSIBLE
Here are some ointed excerpts
from recent remarks by Bishop
Spaulding, of Peoria, on the relations
of capital and labor:
"Compulsory investigation of the
affairs of great corporations and of
trade unions seem to point to the
solution of the strike measure and its
cause."
"If something is not done to remedy
the frightful wastes of the competi
tive system, socialism, will find its o-
port unity."
"Socialism is an intangible dream of
ltopia an impossible condition in
which men would exist on flat levels
of sloven ease, devoid of ambitions
and ideals."
"Logically, there is ahead of this
evolution of industrial conditions
final coalition of capital and labor.
from which the consuming public may
have to protect itself."
"The term 'prosperity' is one of the
anomalies of the competitive system
It caries with it the shadow of over
production and panic and paralysis of
trade."
"We. need not so much new mcas
ures, but a new heart."
W0BK0N SHORT LINE
. BEGINNING IN EARNEST
A thousand men will be at work In
a few days on the Muscatine-Kut
ledge extension of the Milwaukee road
for the fast Kansas City service
through the tri-citles. It is the hope
that the work will be completed in
June and that trains will be running
in August.
Announcement has been received
that it is the intention of the com
pany to push the work f construc
tion as rapidly as possible, and the
above number will be employed along
the line at different kinds of work, in
order that the new road may le com
pleted before the beginning of fall
The 250 men who begin work today
will continue the work of laying rails.
and the second squad- will continu
the work of grading which was start-
d last fall.
Fifty ballast cars have been sent
from Cedar Kapids to Concsville along
with ten boarding cars to be used by
the workmen. Next week 'another
force will begin laying steel from
Kutledge toward Muscatine, and It is
anticipated that the new crews will
meet near the center of the cut-off
within a few weeks.. .
The new line furnishes Ottumwa
and several 'intermediate points -a di
rect line to 'Chicago, something that
they have, never enjoyed before, and
and also gives them a direct ronte to
Davenport and Kock Island.
