Preacher Drew Offer. Apology.

The largest audience that ever filed a
church in LeClaire assembled in the
Presbyterian church of that town last
Sunday evening to hear the sermon of
Rev. Monroe Drew, who created such a
sensation a week ago by stating to his
congregation that he was informed that
there was not virtuous young lady in
LeClaire between the ages of sixteen and
twenty two wears. The reverend gen.
tleman made a fitting apology; he said
that he did not intend to make any such
statement as he did. He was exceed
ingly sorry that he had gone so far as to
make such a statement. He hoped that
the GOOD people OF LeClaire would for
give him for it. He prayed for the large
part of Inc congregation who came out
of mere curiosity to hear what he had to
say. MI. Drew will remain with the
church. The Democrat. Gazette SAYS he
has more notoriety now than any
preacher in all Iowa.

1t was quiet election.
Yesterdays special election for the
office of states attorney of Rock Island
county to fill the vacancy made by the
death Of Mr.. Patrick O'Mara, resulted
in the election of M. M. Sturgeon,
the republican nominee. by about 800
majority over Eugene Lewis, the dem>

ductive of many surprises. While
there WAS, as expected generally light
vote cast, it was the heaviest where 1t
was supposed it would be the lightest-
in the where the farmers are in
the midst OF their busy season.
Although Mr. Sturgeon has carried
every ward in the city, even the banner
democratic Third, and goes out of town
with 516 majority. the fact cannot afford
him q great deal of qualification when it
is considered that the city of Rock Island

One evening not long ago young man whom
she cordially disliked had been making her a
visit, gushing over as usual in his conversation
with idiotic compliments. At length, with
an air and accent designed to be quite ire

my dear Miss p, your hair is so beauti.

And with that she deliberately detached q
small curl from above her pink little ear, or

pin and all, to the importunate dude OF
course he took it. He could not perceive that

officials held in Washington was for
the purpose of considering the subject
of reducing the rate of postage on gen
eral merchandise and wiping out fourth
class matter altogether. 1t was pro-
posed to include merchandise in third
class matter and carry it at the ate of
two ounces for one cent, instead of one
cent per ounce, as at present. Under
the new arrangement the three classes
would be divided as follows: First
class, letters and postal cards; second
newspapers and periodicals sent out to
regular subscribers by publishers, third
class, everything el:e that is mailable.
Tie matter is still under consideration.

SUPERINTENDENT PORTER EXPECTS 1T TO
BE THE MOST COMPLETE EVER
PUBLISHED.

Robert =. Porter, superintendent of
the eleventh census, in his report to
the Secretary of the Interior, suggests
that the delay accompanying the print
ing of the tenth census be avoided by
having the printing for this census
done by private contract, or letting
the Census Bureau print them itself.
The census, in addition to the popu-
lation and other things usually given,
will ascertain the language spoken by
every person Of 10 years of age
and upward most complete
classification of occupations the
names, organizations and length of
service of surviving veterans of the
war; the financial condition of every
county, city, town and incorpo rated
village in the country.
Labor organizations have asked that
the census show what percentage of
the people in this country occupy their
own farms and homes, etc. The Sup
erintendent is willing 10 undertake the
inquiry if Congress will grant the
authority and provide money to pay
for the enumeration.
The Superintendent says that if sat'
isfactory arrangements can only be
made for prompt publication of the
results he is confident that the eleventh
census will not only be accurate and
cover all the statistical investigations
required by law, but will be out on
| time,
