The fire and light committee of the city
council has again been asked to report
upon .the Advlslbllity of placing a . fire
alarm box at South, Eighth mreet and
Twelfth avenue, at the request of the
Bock Island railway company. There la a
strong sentiment among . the aldermen
favoring an official request to the railway
company to Install the box at Ita own ex
pense, for the reason that la designed
chiefly for the protection of railway prop
erty and Is to be located so that .It will
not be accessible to others. The- box will
cost $126. It Is pointed out that In all other
cities audi semi-piivute boxes are always
provided for at the expense of the people
desiring them, and the conviction is that
this la an .opportunity to enforce the rule.
On the other hand It is likewise pointed
out that the railroad company pays taxes
fur the maintenance of the fire depart
ment and should be given the fullest
possible protection. The last annual re
port of Chief Nicholson of the fire depart
ment showed that nearly 80 per cent of the
(Ire alarms came In over the telephone
lines. For this reason the council - is not

both lnteiets tacked the small rooms
while the work of canvassing the consent
and withdrawal petitions waa In progress.
Each side was represented by counsel, the
saloon men by Emmet Tln'ey and J. J.
Hess and the amis by County Attorney
Capell and Lawyer F. A. Turner of Avoca.
The work was acarcely half completed,
making it certain that quite all of today
will be devoted to the task. A stage was
not reached when the board adjourned lnat
evening where the result could be fore
casted, although both sides were confident.
The antis claimed an advantage when they
secured a decision that namea secured on
the withdrawal petition up to 9 o'clock yes
terday morning should be counted. This
enabled them to Increase the number to
3M. Before the saloon men can achieve
victory 147 of these names must be thrown
out. I
Point for "aloon Men.
The saloon men undoubtedly secured a
big advantage by the sagacity of their at
torneys when they willingly, although ap
parently reluctantly, agreed to a ruling
asked by Attorney Turner to exclude all
namea from the . petitions where technical
errors were admitted. On this showing
seventy-one names were stricken from the
consent petition. Attorneys Hesa and Tin
ley had discovered that nearly all of these
namea were also on the withdrawal peti
tion and would have had to be counted
out anyhow. If there are as many errors
In the withdrawal petition as the attor
neys believe to be there the agreement to
this rule may exclude the required 147 and
even more, and thus bring victory to the
saloon men from what appeared certain
defeat. pn one whole page of the with
drawal petition It was noted that the year
had been left off, showing that the names
might have been secured last year or any
other. Under the ruling these names will
have to be excluded.
The canvassing of the consent petition
waa almost completed last evening when
the board adjourned. Thla will be fin
ished this morning and the withdrawals
will then be scanned. The Interest In the
work today, will .thus be Intensified and
the rooms of the board will be far too
small to accommodate the anxious crowds
who are eagerly waiting for the result-

Maypr Maloney yesterday had hla atten

not been cleaned off the sidewalks on the
city bridges, and that the walka on the
North Main street bridge were in about as

"We are a little short of men now," the
mayor replied; "but we have them at

more dollar each day off the prices of all our Suitings
and Overcoats (except solid Blacks and Blues), until
our counters and shelves are "clean as a whistle." We

to another. We never have to "lay off" any of our em
ployes during the two usual "dull seasons" that other
tailors endure. This Daily-Dollar-Reduction Sale Is a
mighty good dull season event for both our employes
and ourselves. But It's a more beneficial event for you
you who have always longed for a suit or overcoat
"made by MacCarthy-Vilson," but have felt you
couldn't afford it. maybe.
