WATCH OWN FENCES Republicans Too Busy to lay Much Attention to Congressman Hopkins. The frosty reception that marked the visit of Congressman A. .1. Ho- kins yesterday not only indicated that enator .Mason is stronger than the Aurora n here, and Charles G Dawes is the favorite senatorial aspirant at Moline, but that local republicans were seized with personal ambitious in their search for office. Never in the his tory of tin- county has such a prema ture strugggle been witnessed t Ik election eight months away, with the intervening municipal campaign. which must figure more or less, and cannot help but be the cause of breaches that will add to the bitter ness between rival aspirants for leg islative honors. The Seventh ward is the storm' cen ter of the senatorial contest, O. W. Johnson, of Moline, has invaded the Seventh in his canvass for support for 1 he senatorial nomination, and is making a grand stand play to cap ture that portion of the city. Kepuli- licans here arc inclined to look with scorn ujion Johnson's candidacy, as they regard him as a political acci dent, anyway, both his nominations having Im'cii brought about through force of geographical circumstances They say now for him to come down to Kock Island is an exhibition of nerve, to say the least. The promised letter of withdrawal of Mavor Knox from the senatorial race, which was expected at the time of the republican love feast, has not been forthcoming. However, he is considered out of the running by members of the parly, and his disin clination to so formallv declare is regarded simply as an evidence of a disposition to keep the other fellows in hot water. I.. S. MeCabe. the Kock Island candidate, is not letting any moss grow under his feet, and is said to be doing some effective hustling, while J. W. Siinonson. of Port I'.yron, and Fred ". Kank. of Moline, are keeping on the move, the former put ting up a particularly warm fight for the nomination for tie office he for merly tilled. C. F. (iaetjer. of this city. W. II. Whiteside, of Xuma. and I,. M. Ma- gill, of Moline. are sitting up late nights trying to figure out how they can win over each other for the legis lative nomination. And the batlle for places on the county licket goes on at a pact that will inevitably result in tin explosion on the dav of the county convention. MUSCATINE LOSES IN BASKETBALL GAME HERE The Muscatine basket hall team, which played the high school team at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium last evening was scarcely good sport for the locals, anil its defeat was accom plished to the time of ''s to '.. In a contest played before the main game between the junior and freshmen classes the former were victorias, virtually annihilating the youngsters 21 to :!. A big crowd saw the eon tests. Next Friday evening the locals will play a return game in Muscatine. Tin Augustana college team went to Muscatine last evening and met defeat at the hands of tin all-star team thrc. The latter is the aggre galion that once captured the cham pionship of the state of Iowa' and they beat the college men to 17. MOLINE TO HAVE A MODERN HOSTELRY The Hotel Summers Moline, has ben bought from Si. "J. Murphy, of this city, bv a syndicate of Moline capitalists headed by C. 11. Deere. The purchase price is not made pub lic, but it is said to have been con siderably larger than tVit paid by Mr. Murphy at tin sale of the prop erty a few days ago. The hotel is to be remodeled so that it will e 1"0 feet de p anil have a frontage of NO feet and a ground floor office. Vt is :;:iid to be tli in tention of the- new owners to con vert it into a modern hostelry. PERSONAL POINTS I.. A. Kerry and daughter, of On csco, were city visitors today. Miss Hose Krause. of Columbus City, Ind.. is visiting with Mrs. Abe ljosen field. S. Pells, of r.oulder. Col., formerly manager of the local branch of the Chicago lirewing company, was in the city today. Mrs. James Connor and Miss Amelia lluber left for Chicago at noon to day to join Otto Duller there. The trio will go from that place for a few weeks sojourn at Palm Poach, Fla. Among those from this eily who went to l'eoria this morning to at tend the big republican bampiet to lie. held there tonight were II. S. Ca ble, M. A. Patterson, I. S. White and Ira Karr. F. K. Miller and Meigs Wait, of Kevnolils, have returned from Arkan sas, where they went with a view of possibly investing for a permanent resilience. They assert now, how ever, that, they will be content to re main in Illinois the 'balance of their days if there is no tther place to go better than "Ilackansack." Saloon Notice.
