WoMAN's AUXILIARY.-The meeting OF
the Woman's Auxiliary at the Y. III. Z. a.
rooms yesterday was we'll attended, though
we learn that many of the ladies failed to
notice the call published in Wednesdays
GAZETTE. The special business before the
meeting was the election OF president, the
lady elected at the annual meeting, January
Sth, having found it impracticable to accept
the position. 1t had also become necessary
to furnish the treasurer with a committee of
assistants in making her annual collections,
as there are nearly 800 names on the roll
A most encoursgingly significant feature in
the meeting was the cheerfuness with which
the ladies accepted the work assigned them
by the newly elected president. A number
of new names we're handed in, and the ut
most good feeling and interest prevailed.

.THR TWIN CITY FAIR.

The Project 30 Unite Rock Island end
Moline In this Important Enter
prise---A Committee Conference.
The Moline Business Mems association
met Monday evening 10 consider the
proposition of tlfe Rock island Citizens
Improvement as association for the two cit
les to unite in county or district fair.
Mr.. j. 81. Porter spoke for the special
committee appointed at the last meeting
to confer with e. committee of the Rock
Island Citizens improvement association.
The conference In question occurred at
an appointed time Monday afternoon at
the rooms of the Rock Island association
In Harper's theatre. Rock Island was
represented by President Hass. Secretary
T. ]. Medill. Jr., and E. H. Guyer. and
Moline BY j. W. Good. s. s. Davis and ].
81. Porter. The committee reported that
they found the Rock island gentlemen
ready to meet them more than half way
In this enterprise. 1t was felt that the
fair should be located as near the divid-
ing line between the two cities a. posi-
BILE.
The members Of the committee think
that $15 900 would be ample in every
way to establish creditable fair, though
they do not assume to say that 1t cannot
be started for $4,000. They thought
that such an inst tuition properly managed
would pay for itself in two years. 1t
would, of course, be necessary to secure
location to which the railroads could ex.
tend switches or stubs for the convenience
of persons bringing exhibits or sporting
stock from other places. The committee
thought. says the Dispatch, driving
park in connection with such an institu>
ton could be kept open eight or ten
months in the year, by erecting club
house where the members of the society
in both cities cou d meet and thus become
better acquainted and the result wonld be

and our neighbors, and by connecting our
efforts bring about many things for our
mutual good that would be impossible
single handed"
Moline. of course, wants the fair los
Gated on Mud Island, and while the
ARGUS thinks q site should be selected
near the BOUNDARY line between the cities,
it believes there are more advantageous
sites than this to be had on the main
land. OF truth, Ro K Island does not
lcok with q great degree either of pride
or favor upon the Moline Water Power
company's island. Let US at least decide
upon having the fair before we follow
the course so considerably mapped out
by our Moline neighbors to locate 1t on
the island without considering other sites
equally MS available to both cities.
The committee Of the Moline Business
Mems association has been continued and
empowered to act upon such lines as they
deem best In furthering the enterprise,
and a subcommittee is now figuring upon
the best manner o. procedure in the i'm
portsnt project.

The following special from Minneapo-
lis appears In today's Chicago Tribune:
Meetings were held here Wednesday
and Sunday by body of persons WHO
believe that Christ Is on earth. The meet
ing of yesterday was led BY one G. G.
Whitney, who read from the tifty.fourth
chapter of Isaiah, and said that 1t re
ferred to woman who would give birth
to q new Christ This woman. he said.
was Mrs. Buchanan, whom he had met
10 Kansas twenty years ago. She was
filed with the spirit of the Lord and full
filled the prophecy of Isaiah. Her son.
the Rev. George j. Schwenfurth, now a
resident of Rock Island. Ill, Whitney
says, Is the true Christ. Schwenfurth
writes frequently to Mr.. Whitney. and
his letters are read as sermons. The be,
levers In this new Divinity say that when
the bible speaks OF the bridegroom. 1t
means the second coming OF Jesus Christ
as the groom and His mother as the
bride. They Indignantly deny that the
church as organized in this day has
right to be called the bride.
They claim that the bible, when it
speaks of the bride, means some
one person, and that person must
be a woman "f1lled with the spirit Of the
Lord" and this person is Mrs. Buckman.
II Is argued by these people that the bible
distinctly proclaims the second appear
ance upon the earth of Christ. and that
the time for his temperance is the
present. One story Is told OF woman
Who. overcome by the belief In the reap
pearance Of Christ on earth, refused the
sacrament while kneeling at the com,
munion table, because she said that all
such ceremonies were useless. At al~
most the same moment her husband IN
an Their church was struck bv the same
belief. In comparing impressions the,
were struck by the coincidence and
straightwaY became converted The fol-
lowing of this new apostle, Whitney, is
small in this city, but he claims that 1t is
Increasing every day. He Is enthusiastic
In his belief and quotes the tiole freely
In support of his doctrine.
The cranks who make this sacrilegious
assertion have mislocated the parsonage
npon whom they would confer Divinity.
No man by the name Of Schwenfurth re-
sides in Rock Island. though there
was German Methodist minister here
by that name two years ago. Had
the strange thinking Minneapolis people
proclaimed that the evil one, lived H.
Rock Island. there would have been no
question as to establishing his identity or
tracing his exact location.
