WAS PURELY A BREEZE.
The Alarm - TO saturdays weather
Conditions.

Tho Alarm - 20 Saturday. Wsashes
Conditions.
The scare weather bulletin sent
out from Chicago Saturday after
noon and disseminated over the
country through the Associated
Press. proved happily premature.
The observations of the weather man
across the river were more in accord
ance with the situation as it devei-
oped. Perhaps his royal highness, the
storm king, became ind gnant at the
advance announcement Of his COM
ing and determined to give US the
snub. He surely gave us the cold
shoulder yesterday morning. at any
rate. Chicago as result of the
bulletins did land Office telegraph
business. and the morning Chicago
papers of yesterday found eager
purchasers. There is contentment
to be found in the fact that a storm
scare that fails to materialize is
much more to be preferred than one
that comes in reality unheralded and
wipes you off the earth. We hope
that all the storms of the season will
contain no more harmful winds than
did the representations of Saturday.

Two masked men attempted to
hold up j. w. Roche at his saloon at
the corner of Twelfth street and
Fifth avenue about IL o'clock last
night. They entered the back door
and marched up to the bar, one car
rying a revolver with which he COW
cred MIR. Roche, and requested him
to hold up his hands. Before Mr..
Roche had time to have an under
standing with the robbers the other
fellow struck him over the right eye
with q pair of brass knuckles, and
inflicted q wound about q inches
long. 1t is supposed the men became
frightened at something before
fulfilling their mission, rs they took
to their heels after Mr.. Roche had
been struck. The police were called
Chief Fender, Captain Eckard and
Officer Dumbauld responded. but
could find no trace of the would-be
robbers. Mr.. Roche was naturally
excited over the affair and could
not give very full description OF
the men. Both wore SLOUGH hats,
he said. DR.. G l.. Eyster attended
to Mr.. Roche's injuries.
Hold up ut Sears.
George Henderson was wheeling
along through Sears last night when
he was halted by two men and asked
to hand over his cash. He did SO,
and is out $3.50 as a result of the
transaction. Mr.. Henderson says
both wore SLOUGH hats, one of the
men being tall and dark with beard
Of about q weeks growth.

claims to have bought the stuff at an

A REMARKABLE REVIVAL.
Yesterdays Services of the Ostrom- Hills
Meetings Close Tonight.

Yesterdays Services of the Ostrom- Hills
Meetings Close Tonight.
The church going people Of Rock
Island showed their appreciation Of
the delightful weather by turning
out in large numbers to all the re-
vival services yesterday. The early
service at $3.50 a. m. was attended by
an audience that filed the spacious
Central Presbyterian church. The
forenoon services in the various
churches were attended by unusually
large congregations, and showed an
awakened interest.
The union service in the Broad
way Presbyterian church at 8 p. IN.
drew out an audience that taxed to
the utmost the seating capacity Of
the building. Mr.. Ostrom delivered
one of his best discoArses. insisting,
as he has from the beginning, upon a
more vigorous type of christian
character. and unfolding the mean
ing and beauty of redemption in
Christ as an incentive to deeper con-
secration.
In the evening three large union
meetings were held, two for women,
one in the Methodist and the other
in the Baptist church, and one for
men in the rink. The women's
meetings were addressed by DR.. c.
<. Taylor and Rev. Ira w. Allen.
The meeting at the rink was one of
the largest religious gatherings of
men ever seen in this city. Eight
hundred men, who listened with ex-
traordinary attention to the burning
words of Mr.. OsEom, were an unus-
ual spectacle. The subject of the
address was Christ Crowded Out"
Mr.. Ostrom spoke of the attempts TO
crowd Christ out of business, out OF
literature, out of politics. out OF So
ciety and even out of the church.
He pictured the dire result should
these efforts succeed, and pleaded with
the men to save the country from
revolution by aiding in the evolu-
ton of society through the enthrone-
ment Of Christ in their lives.
This evenings services close this
remarkable series of meetings. which
have done much toward cievating
the religious ideals of the commu-
nifty. Much more would have been
accomplished but for the excessively
hot weather of the past week. The
first meeting this evening for church
members and new converts will be
held in the Methodist church at z
o'clock. At 1880 mass meeting
will be held in the rink, to which all
are invited. This will be the last
opportunity to hear Mr.. Ostrom
preach and Mr.. Hills sing.
