TIE Moline ". NC. A. Middle.

The collectors of the amount of pledges
to Moline's new Y. M. C. A. building
fund are experiencing considerable diff,
Guilty in getting the money. When Ms.
Knowles made the offer of the Third ave.
nue. lot on which the building is erected
it was on condition that the association
raise $1,000 by subscription. Petitions
were circulated, and the necessary amount
pledged, payable within a certain period.
Now, it is on these tha; the subscribers
who placed their names thereon are kick
ing. Several of these pledges were made
conditionally-sOme were to be taken out
in trade-snd other and various condi-
tiens were not complied with, it is al
legged, and for this reason it is expected
that they will have difficulty in collecting
a large amount of the money. The Re
publican says:
There are other excuses given for the
refusal to redeem the pledges. For eX-
ample: The collectors called on prom
inent business man who had pledged the
sum of $50 He explained as his reason
for not paying that ''he did not want to
put that amount of money into some
thing that would be of no benefit"
According to law these pledges are as
good as a mans note and can be collected
1t is source of deep regret that some of
the people should have taken this view
of the work of the Y. NJ. G. A The
present litigation of the association is
responsible. no doubt for their disposl>

AUBURN, n. Y, April 30--Judge Wal
lace, of the United States court, has
granted writ of habeas corpus returnable

ground for the writ is that the act under
which the execution was to take place is

Some time before the above news was re-

prison. He was Harold p. Brown, the

had come expecting TO work the apparatus
which was to put kemmler out of the
world. AS soon as he heard the news he
said Postponed again. | suppose | may
