The delegates Of the various Ilish
Catholic Benevolent Societies of Rock
Island, Moline end Davenport will meet in
annual convention in ST. Anthony's school
hall, Davenport. at P. NJ on Sunday.
Jan. 80 to arrange for the proper cee-
bration of ST.. Patrick's Day Each So
ciety is entitled to FIVE delegates. The
call is signed by John Lillis. Chairman.
and Thomas Devine. Secretary.
90 Sunday last, Rev. Geo +. Linfeld,
for the past four years pastor of the Bsp-
fist church, Moline, resigned his pastor
ship. This is to be regretted. as he has
done much for the church, and is an
earnest, faithful worker. No one stands
higher in Moline than Rev. Geo. B. Lin
field, and it is a sourse Of regret that pet
ty differences should have im PEELED him to
resign. The Baptist church will be long
time securing one as eminently qualified to
fill the pastarate as the Rev. O. +. Lin
ield.
The contest for sheriff presents one Of
two alterna ives-shai! the psoplo elect
Aukrum aud endorse the ring. or shall be
be defeated and the ring be condemned?
Il is not so much personal fight against
Ankrum as determined fqnt against ths
ring of which he is the representative.
The question is not so much against
Ankrum as a particular individual. as
against the ring rs dangerous
element. Ankrum was Domin-
ated because be was deputy, had
been promised advancement when the
opportunity presented by the ring. The
opportunity came and the ring forced
his nomination. If be is elected the ring
will triumph and be more firmly in
trenched than ever-if be is defeated,
the ring will be broken. That is the sum
aDd substance of itand there is no getting
away from the alternative presented.
