DUKE FOR HIS DONATION.
Speech by Mr., John B, MacRae--Lasker Acad-
envy to be Opened With Addresses by
Gen. Ransom and Mr.. Winston.

Rich Square. y. c., Aug. 20.-(Special)
The inclement weather lessened the at
tendance at the Masonic picnic here yes
terday. In spite of threatening clouds Il
large number of persons came out.
The gathering was in the interest of
the Oxford Orphan Asylum and it was
decided to make the meeting an annual
one. The program was in charge of the
Masonic fraternity of Burke, Northamp-
ton and Hartford. The local committee
deserves much praise for the excellent ar
engagements. Two speeches were made
The first, by Mr.. John B. MacRae, was
of rare beauty and dicti0n. 1t was a his
tory of Masonry and a reference to the
great impress the teachings of the order
had made on the world. Mr. MacRae re-
ceived numerous congratulations on the
splendid effort.
Mr.. Francis D. Winston, of Burke
county, delivered very strong address
on the place the orphan asylum should
occupy in the educational system of the
State. Mr.. Winston is a great favorite
with our people. 1Als remarks were very
practical. In speaking of the work the
asylum was doing he paid glowing
tribute to the men who manage it and
who donate to it. His tribute to Mr.. B.
y. Duke was received with prolonged ap-
plause. Mr.. Winston's address was bright
and interesting. The dinner which was
sold for the benefit of the asylum was
excellent. 4 handsome sum has been
forwarded to Oxford as the net proceeds

Frank A. Anderson, who dealt the
blow which resulted in the death Of
Charles L. Condo. still persists in
the belief that his victim yet lives.
Anderson is Is years of age. He
came to Moline In 1891 from Chicago,
having left his native home in SWe-
den three years previous. His Wild
owed mother continues to reside in
Sweden. Anderson has five brothers
and three sisters. Two brothers and
one sister reside in the old country,
while the remainder have taken MP
homes in Iowa. Anderson has .
pleasant face and long, blonde hair.
He is Of irail physique and says he
has not been strong since his recent
illness, for which he was treated at q
Davenport hospital. He was en-.
gagged in . game Of cards with q
number Of other prisoners when an
ARGUS represeL tstive was admitted
inside the bars this morning. Ander-
son dropped the pasteboards and
accompanied the scribe to bench in
the southeast corner OF the room,
where he told as best he could in his
broken tongue the story Of the un-
pleasantness which was attended by
such tragic consequences.
HE is not dead, is he?" Anderson
asked.
Eyes, he is." was the reply.
"Poor Condo was buried yesterday"
"But did not see him." and An
derson's eyes twinkled Is II trying to
keep back tear. Then he bright

smiling; "That's funny. Why
didn's they let me see him? Oh,

will improve the levee, repay the city

Some one has been discussing :he
probable economic outcome of the
pending European war. Money rates
would at once advance. In neutral
countries labor and capital would be
diverted from productive enterprises
to the furnishing of war munitions.
In Europe itself there would be an
enormous falling off of productive en-
terprise and the United States would
reap a golden harvest by selling food
stuffs and munitions. Vast fortunes
would be made from speculations in
wheat, iron and coal. Freights would
go up and so would the price of ships
But, when the end of the war comes
the waste of wealth, the waste OF
human life, the Reorganization OF
trade will then be felt, and not in
one place only, but all over the world

The gold product of the world is not
likely to decrease for some time. Not
only has there been great find in the
southern part of California, while
Africa and West Australia mines are
booming, but Peru is having her min
ing resources developed. According to
the panama Star" a German engi-
neer has been engaged in examining
the gold resources of the country. He
says that the gold bearing zone eN-
tends for one thousand square
leagues" The account of rich veins
makes ones mouth water. In vein
ninety-eight feet long, thread of
pure gold was found three feet deep
and six inches thick. He claims that
the gold producer OF Peru will be far
superior to the output of Africa or
Australia. 1t needs something to put
Peru on her legs again After the war

Professor Jordan, of Stanford Uni
versity, and head of the United States
Fur Seal Commission, says the only
way to preserve the seal herd is to
prohibit pelagic sealing totally. The
matter in hand and Great Britain will
be asked to join the United States,
but if that Government refuses to CO.
operate then the United States will act
alone. 1t is proposed to brand the fe-
male seals at the rookeries and thus
destroy the value of their skins. a
curious thing indeed, to brand wild
animals. But one sees many strange
things as the world grows older.
