The outlook for the continuation
OF The Ladies' Industrial Relief so
ciety's work the coming winter is in
deed discouraging. A meeting Of
the nomination committee was held
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. M. II.
Wadsworth, who has been serving
temporarily as president, states that
she cannot act longer. The ladies
have thus far been unable to find
anyone to accept the Office. Quar-
tiers have not yet been secured, and
matters have taken on such a phase
as to dishearten those who have been
giving their time to the cause, snd
unless some one is willing to take the
presidency and suitable quarters can
be obtained within the present week,
1t is feared the work will have to be
abandoned. Another meeting will
be held at $3.50 p. m, Saturday at
the 7. NJ. c. A. chapel. and one more
effort made to accomplish the much
desired end. The industrial sewing
school will be continued.

THE JUDGE AND MASTER.


Court Sastains the Former In Removing
the Latter.
The case of the removal Of . mas
ter In chancery by q judge at Bloom
ington which, as heretofore stated in
TIE ARGUS, involves relations SINH
lar to those which exist between
Circuit Judge Gest and the Whiteside
master over the Woodmen injunc-
ton proceedings, has been brought
to the attention Of the circuit court.
and the judge has been sustained. A
dispatch from Bloomington states:
1.-The case Of the people ex rel. Ed
mund O'Connell vs.. Ssin Welty, q
quo-warranto proceeding relating
to the removal of Edmund O'Connell
as master in chancery. wes passed
upon in the circuit today By Judge
Moffett, Of Paxton. Just before the
close of the term Of Judge Upton As
Judge in The circuit court OF Mclean
county, Master in Chancery Full
wiler resigned. Judge Upton ap-
pointed Edmund O'Connell master
for = term of two years. Soon there
after Colostin D. Myers was elected
Judge. Three weeks ago Judge
Myers read an order in court remov-
ing O'Connell and appointing Sain
Welty. O'Conuell entered protest
and began quo-warranto proceedings.
Judge Moffe.t today decided that the
removal of O'Connell was within the
jurisdiction of Judge Myers and that
Welty is legally master in chancery.
The case was at once appealed to the
appellate court"
1t seems indeed time to defue who
shall rule the courts, the oses
chosen BY the people or the masters
selected by the judges.

that there will be general effort by

WORDS OF A SOCIALIST

ut Turner He'll.

Harry Carries Gives = Pyroteohnic Speech
ut Turner Hall.
There Was warm speech at Turner
hall last night. Harry Carries, of
New York. was the orator, and his
subject was The Aims and Objects
OF she Socialistic Party"
In the neighborhood Of 100 men
were present. the majority OF whom
were from Davenport. Mr.. Carries
said that machinery and capitalists
were the cause OF idleness. He said
there must be q radical change in
society; that the public mus. own
and operate the means of production
and distribution.
The speaker grew eloquent, and
while pointing out the wrongs being
suffered by the working man with
wild gesticulstions bunch OF
matches in his coat pocket took fire.
He reached after the burning mass
but it was little too hot to handle.
SO he pulled off his coat, and threw
1t on a chair. and continued his talk
while John Welzenbach. Of Daven-
port, chairman OF the meeting. ex
tlnguished the blaze, which was fas;
consuming Mr.. Carries coat.
| When the address was over those
present were asked to join she SO
cialiss party, the success OF which
the speaker commended. held on. tn,
only ray OF hope for the salvation o
tho workinguau. The Rock Islanc
folks did not enthuse very mucl
over Mr.. Carries ideas, however.

sion - Postonce Departments Method
OF Coop. ration With the H.aleh Au-
th"rities.
II You receive q letter perforated
with holes these days, it is not so
disfgured because IL has been posted
up and shot 80 pieces with bird shot
at long range, nor yet because it has
reposed on various letter files in
transit. Its appearance is due to
the fact that 1t bears the postmark
Of southern city, and the pune
tured appearance is the evidence OF
precaution taken at the sending
office to stamp out possible yellow
fever germs before is starts on its
journey. There are any number OF
such envelopes going through the
mails now. Many have come to
Rock Island from Louisiana, Alabama
and Mississippi. The letters look like
they had been repeatedly stuck on q
wire file. and the irregularity OF the
holes precludes the idea OF q ma
chine being used. The why is very
simple when one knows it; the holes
are to let air into the letters in the
process Of distinction through which
all the mail at infected points is put.
In the first place, no letters are al
lowed to 60 out OF a house which
contains a case Of yellow fever, and
the inmates are hardly allowed to
talk through telephone. Then to
make assurance doubly sure, all the
mail OF that town ia disinfected be.
fore 1t leaves the mailing Office. This
process Of disin lection is absolutely
thorough, and there is 20 more dan
ger Of contracting the disease from
such letters than there is of taking
scarlet fever from scarlet geranium.
The msil is disinfected by baking it,
as this does the least damage to the
things the postoffice handles. The
object is to kill the germ Of the dis.
ease.

With the six experts under his supervision, and the fine quality of tobacco selected, the daily output of fine cigars will aggregate handsome values and satisfactory profits. The product will be offered on the general market, and MT. Fleischer will devote his we'll known business push and energy to bringing. the cigars from the Nogales factory to the attention of smokers all over. the United States.
