MERCER PLEDGED TO
MARSH BY McKINNEY.
According to the Springfield Slate
Register, James McKinney pledged
Mercer county to support Marsh for
nomination for congress in tne new
district, before the apportionment
committee agreed to take A -lams out
of the district and add Kock island in
it6 place. The Register says in its
leport of the cciumittee meeting:
-Senator McKenzio suggested that
Rock Island should be taken from the
Prince district and given to the Marsh
district, while Adams county should
be added to the frince district. Good
politics, he said, made it expedient to
do this.
Senator Femberton agreed with
Senator McKenzie and spoke in favor
of making the proposed change.
I oljeut to this arrangement,1
said " Repre-entative Rinaker.' 'We
have been considering personal mat
ters here and we have taken care cf
every one of the congressmen except
Congressman Marsh, flow it is pro
posed to put him into a district where
he will have no show for a renomina-tion.'
I do not understand that this dis
trict will interfere with Congressman
Marsh's chances of going back to con
gress.' said Chairman Stnbblefield.
Mr. McKinney, or ine state executive
committee, is here, and he can explain
the conditions.1
I have no doubt concerning the
standing of Congressman Marsn in
this district,' said Mr. McKinney. 'I
understand that it is complained Mer
cer county will not be for Mr. Marsh.
The fact is that Mercer county is on
the best terms with Mr. Marsh and he
probably has as many friends there as
in any county in the district. We
have always been for Mr. Marsh and
he will have no trouble with this dis
trict.' "Representative Johnson agreed
with Mr. McKinney and said that Mr.
Marsh stood well in Rock Island.
Rock Island, he said, has no candi
date for congress and it is not under
taking to undermine the political am
bition cf Congressman Marsh.
Representative Schlagenhauf, of
Adams county, said he had in his pos
session a letter from Mr. Marsh, in
which he requested that he be given
the district originally mapped out.
" 'I have been told,' said Mr. Schla
genhauf. 'that Mercer county would
not stand for Marsh.' "
You have certainly been misin
formed.' said Mr. McKinney. 'I can
say for Mercer county that it is will
ing to stand for Marsh. "

This morning's session of the board

action on the matter was postponed
till tomorrow.
The road and bridge committee re
ported the letting of contracts in De

of f 500 in payment for half their cost
was reconim mended. The report was
adopted. The report of the commit
tee on fees and salaries was also heard
and adopted.
Hospital Hoard Gives In.
Some interesting developments
were looked for in the consideration
of the report of the committee on
poor claims, as that body had a
knotty problem to deal with in the
complications that had arisen be
tween the county aud the Moline city
hospital. The regulnr rate allowed
by the county for the care of the sick
when treated at the county's expense
is $3.50 per week for hospital services
for each patient. The Moline hospital
has for some time been sending in
bills for $5 per week, and the board
has been rejecting them. The com
mittee and the hospital directors,
however, effected a settlement yes
terday afternoon, the former making
some concessions and the latter agree
ing to take patients at the county's
rate. The committee's report was
adopted.

was alfo heard on the differences which
have arisen between the county and
the board of trustees ol the Moline
city hospital.
DECISION INVOLVING
THE INHERITANCE TAX.
Judge Adams has rendered a de
cision of some importance as affecting
the payment of interest on inheritance
taxes in this county. The case in
point was that involving the heirs of
the late Ellen S. Webber, who?e death
occurred some three years asro. The
heirs objected to the payment of in
terest on the tax from the time of the
death of the testatrix, and the matter
came before Judge Adams yesterday.
r. A. Murphy represented the heirs
and htate s Attorney eld the state
rhe judge held that the interest must
be paid. This will bring the tax on
the estate to about $2,000 and when

lected in the county.
