BATTLES & CO The Pure Food Grocery. 1806 SECOND AVENUE As the result of a letter which has been received in the county court from Miss Pearl R. Miller of Minneapolis, it seems possible that the tangle in the Monlnger estate, which received considerable publicity several years ago, will be finally cleared up. Mrs. Mary Monlnger of Moline died Oct 14. 1900, and among the heirs named in her will was a daughter, Mary Moning er, whose whereabouts could not be determined." E. B. Knox, who was ad ministrator for the estate, made re peated efforts to locate the girl, but was unable to do so, and after three years the estate was declared closed, and a sum of money amounting to $291.02 was turned over to the county treasurer as an unclaimed legacy. In her letter Miss Pearl Miller states that she Is the daughter of the miss ing Mary Monlnger, who apparently married a man named Miller after her disappearance. The Miller girl states that she has not seen her mother for years and does not know of her where abouts. She is considered In line to receive her mother's share of the es tate. This will close up the matter. PERSONAL POINTS. Harry Larkin has returned from New Orleans. Miss Clara Bosold has returned from Chicago. Major C. S. Riche will return home tomorrow from Philadelphia. George W. Henry Is able to be about town after an illness of six weeks Mrs. F. G. Gall returned here last evening from Jollet, where she at tended the funeral of her sister. Miss Amy Henderson, daughter of Captain M. L. Henderson, has gone to Chicago. She will make her future home in that city. Misa Gertrude Braack of Milwau kee, who has been visiting with her grandmother, Mrs. C. Mougln, for the past three weeks, returned to her home this morning. This la the time to boost, to boost for each other and to boost altogether. There are many things in which the common interest requires an awaken ing. The belt line is one of these. Street railway extensions is anf other. The protection of home Industries and the widening of the local indus trial field is another. The building up of the business dis trict Is another. And the encouragement of interur bans is still another. The latter proposition is in particu lar need of attention, not in the fu ture, not tomorrow, but now. The Argus is in complete accord with the Idea that inasmuch as the Tri-City Railway company has agreed to give Davenport an interurban on the Iowa side as a consideration for a new franchise that it should include the same provision in its franchise in Rock Island. The Tri-City Railway company has an interurban into Moline, which ap parently it cannot extend into Rock Island. This city is just as much in need of interurbans and just as much entitled to them as Davenport or Mo line. It should insist upon getting them. And now is the appointed time. The territory to the south in Rock Island and Mercer counties and ad joining counties In Illinois Is tributary to Rock Island. The commercial ad vantages that come from that region belong to Rock Island and not to Davenport. Rock Island can get these advan tages. One Interurban is at ths doors of the city ready to come In. It siwld be brought in by a feasible route. It cannot come and ought not to be permitted to come- along the First avenue route of the proposed Belt Une. Another way is in contemplation. If this is objectionable or unobtaina ble another way ought to be found to bring the passenger traffic Into the business section or through the busi ness section regardless of the ter minus. The ordinance, as has been often repeated by The Argus, should be safeguarded as to the character of the traffic and the character of the equipment. But the Southern If It is to be an interurban should be given a franchise if it wants one. The interurban spirit does not need to be fostered at the expense of other propositions. The common Interest is paramount to all else. It commands a get-to-gothor move all 'long the line. Protect the factories we have and give them the rights they desire, and the incentive to expansion; build up the business district, open the way and protect the way for all railroads that may desire to come now and In the future. And bring in the interurbans. Go after them. Boost. ENGINE KILLS &SAN John J. Ells on Run Down in the Yards at Davenport Last Evening.
