The Twenty fifth Anniversary of the Rock
Island Christian Church.

Il
Island Christian Church.
The Christian chapel, ut the cor
ner of Third avenue and Fifteenth
street. was taxed to its utmost ca
pacity last evening with members of
the congregation and well wishers of
the church, the occasion being
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
organization of that congregation.
The guests were received in the par

Mesdames Blackhall and Sears. The

organ voluntary by J. w. Day. This
was followed by the singing OF '.Blest
Be the Tie That Binds" after which
Rev. II. G. Marshall offered prayer.
Growth of the Congregation.
Rev. L. W. Grafton, pastor of the
church, then read a history of the
congregation from it's first organiza-
ton. which was substantially as fol-
lows: The first meeting was held in
the German church on Twentieth
street March %. 1868, soon afterward
exchanging its place of meeting to
small hall in the building which stood
then on the site now occupied by the
Mitchell & Lvnde block. While thus
meeting like its apostolic prototype.
in an upper room, the old Baptist
church was offered for sale and pur
chased by p. l.. Mitchell. After a
thorough overhauling and extensive
improvements. the church was in
Vited to occupy, rent free, the reno
waited building. In October 1870 it
entered into possession and since has
continued to meet without Interrupt
ton in its present building. In 1891
Mr.. Mitchell generously gave the
church a title to the property which
had been its home so long and upon
which he had expended about S12, 900,
and it today rejoices under, its own
vine and fig tree. The church was
organized with - charter members,
only seven of whom are now living,
four still residents of Rock Island
and active members of the church.
Shortly after its organization, the
service of Rev. Edwin Rodgers was

WESTERN MEASURES IN CONGRESS.

The effete east appears to DO very much
gratihed over the discovery of defects in
the Geary Chinese exclusion act that
practically, it is claimed, will render the
law imperative. The Pacific coast states
are the original champions of this law;
they need it in their business, and they
are certainly entitled to some sort of pro-
lection from the hungry horde of Chinese
laborers that they have to contend with.
But the cas-. and, most probably, the
present administration at Washington, are
dead against the Pacific coast states in
this matter, and some lively times over
legislation on this subj ect may be looked
for when congress re-assembles. The
central west will be on hand for wider
use of silver and California will be there
leading in the anti-Chinsse legislation.
But if CALIFORNIA; contingent expect to
get any aid from the central west they
will have to come off the fence on the
financial issues. They have never stood
up for silver, and now they will have to
show their hands clean up and be willing
to work with the central west before they
can expect any aid for their own pet
measures.

AN Err UPTON,

AN Err UPTON,
no matter how slight warns you, and
every one who sees it, that your
blood isn't pure. If you're wise,
you'll heed the warning. You'll
look about for remedy.
And this is what you'll find:
plenty of medicines advertised to
purify the blood, but just one that's
guaramteed-and that is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
It's medicine that does what is
promised for it-that's the reason.
It rouses every organ into healthy
action, purifies and enriches the
blood, and through it cleanses and
renews the entire system. All
Blood, Skin AID Scalp Diseases, from
a common eruption to the worst
Scrofula are cured by it. For Tet.
ter, Salt-rheun, Eczema, Erysipelas,
Boils, Carbuncles, Enlarged Glands,
Tumors, and Swellings, it's an I'm.
squaled remedy.
If it doesn't benefit or cure, in
every case, you have your money
back. You pay only for the good
you get.

The whisky Trust.

Upon whom has fallen this enormous
loss of $21, 100000 in the market value of
the paper of the combination! We may
safely bet not upon the directors of the
swindle. They seem to have been chiefly
occupied in manipulating the market for
their paper in Wall street and working it
off on the public at the best price quoted.
1t has been more combination to take
in the fools who want to lose their money
in trust paper than an alcoholic manufac-
turing concern. As the five valuable dis
tilleries withdrawn must represent a large
part of the assets of the combination, the
value of this paper in the hands of the
public is still more problematical. AS
gigantic swindle whisky trust IN quite
equal to cordage trust and almost equal
to what the sugar trust has proven and
will ultimately prove to be. How much

DEMAND OF THE TIMES.

The bank of London people display
lucid intervals once and awhile. The
phenomenal growth of the United States
makes it necessary that larger supply
of money per capita shall be put in cir
culation, think they. This is certainly
good sense, and congress should heed the
demand of the times and meet the emer-
gency. The west would not object if the
increase consisted exclusively in silver
dimes, quarters and half dollars, but sil-
YER will have to be counted in when the
change is made.
