Preaching Against the Fashions.

Preaching Against the Fashions.
New YORK, Aug. Gland say, thus
saith the Lord God; woe to the women
that sew pillows to all armholes"-
Ezekiel xiii, 10.
Armed with this text Justice j. Cat
lin aroused a prayer meeting at the
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in
Marion by warning them that this ap.
piled to the prevailing fashion of big
sleeves.
"What are the mormon puf1s wo-
men wear but pillows, and Whist can
more e~facaciously arouse righteous
wrath than the abnormal and extreme
fashions Of today"
MI. Catlin went on to say that upon
entering q cal not long ago he was
shocked to see what large sleeves the
women ware, thereby taking up space
that belonged to other passengers,
and then he quoted the Bible verse,
much to the dismay Of the women
present, who had smiled incredulity
when he announced that he had scrip
tural authority for his condemnation
Of the fashion.
IF those women whom l saw in the
street car had reac their Bibles" he
concluded, "they would not be seen in
public places in such attire"
The women members had q lively
discussion of the subject after the
meeting and those who adhered to the
fashion agreed that Brother Catlin had
no business to bring up such matters
in such q place. But two of the elders
remembering q former freak Of fashion,
smiled together Al they told the story
of the minister who preached q SER
mon on the text, aTopkots, Come
Down" Matt. xiv, ~, when that
decoration scared loftily on the heads
Of the women In his congregation.
Eight years ago In attempting to
rescue q young woman from In front
Of an express train, Elder Catlin re-
ceived injuries on the head which az
fected his mind, and his popularity
has taken the form of an o~verwrought
religious interest. He pores over his
Bible night and day when not Ut work,
and attends religious meetings OF every
kind, from the Salvation army to the
Episcopal service.

At noon today the lower section of
the Hennepin canal was declared
open to traffic. Capt. W. l.. Mar
shall and Lieut.. j. M. Lee, of Chi.
cago. came down last night and re-
manned during the morning going
over the work. but were obliged to
return home this afternoon before
the celebration in honor OF the event.
The Excursion.
This afternoon an excursion of tri-
city people numbering about 225,
left the cities Of Rock Island and Dav-
export for the first trip up the Hen
nepin canal. The boat used was the
W. j. Young. Jr., with Capt. w. A.
Blair as master and 4. W. Baker
purser. Some fears have been ex-
pressed that the steamer Young was
too wide to pass through the canal
locks successfully. and if this should
be the case, undoubtedly other ar
rangements will be made for the trip
over the new inland waterway.

An Investigation Desirable.


+. ID. Kreiter, the st. Louis paper
man. came into Rock Island hatless
this morning-that is, as far as the
up-to-date ornament that usually
surmounts his Uranium is concerned.
Instead OF the neat appearing derby
that we are accustomed to seeing.
kreiter wore a crumpled-up travel
ing hat such as we imagine he wears
TO prize fights and horse races
when it is matter of indiffer-
ence to him how he appears. But
Kreiter TO the trade and on the street,
and Kreiter at the track or prize ring
are two different persons. 1t don't
take much to make kreiter look
well. but it does take heap to
make him look unbecomingly. The
heap last referred to had mani
tested itself. when he landed at
the Burlington depot this morning.
Kreiter is hired for his looks and
when he mUtilates the handiwork of
nature, he suffers deservedly. He
always longs for Rock Island. and
when he gets headed this way he
cannot come fast enough. So when
be boarded the train at Monmouth
yesterday afternoon he attempted to
quicken his pace by moving up to the
front of the train. The wind caught
him broadsides between coaches and
took his hat. Kreiter heard in the
zephyr's whistle something about
Trilby. but that was all. He never
saw that hat again. His friends this
morning when they learned of the
circumstances, took up collection
and sent him to a hat store, from
which he emerged looking like him
self again. Next time he starts out
he will have a string to his bonnet.

A QUEER CASE.
That IL the One Involved In the South Rock
Island Supervisorship.

That IL the One Involved In The South Rock
Island Supervisorship.
Ever since the election there have
been rumors from South Rock Island
to the effect that Supervisor II. S.
Case, who on the face of the returns
had three ma jority over Con Donivan,
the latter being i'll at that time, was in
reality not successful. but that re-
count would show his defeat. There
have been hints that during the pro-
gress of the election certain irregu-
larities occurred, such as party work
ers entering the booths with voters,
sufficient to bring an undue influ
ence to bear On the election, and in
validate the entire election were an
investigation to be made. Many go
still further and assert that gross
mistakes were made in the count.
and that Donivan was really the
choice of the people Of the township
for supervisor.
An Investigation Desirable.
This information comes from re-
liable sources and in it's light in JUS
tice to Supervisor Case and to the
people generally Of the township. an
investigation should be made and If
Irregularities have occurred, the
proper course should be taken to
vindicate the peoples preferences.
