REPLIES TO PEACE UNION.
Rev. Thomas Dixon Says If Bagley Is
in He'll He Wants to Go.

New York. June 4.-Rev Thomas Dix
on today said that if Alfred H. Love,
president of the Universal Peace u ion,
represented the true Christian spirit,
then he wanted nothing of religion.
I'D as lief have smallpox" said he,
land if according to the teachings of
self-satisfied pietists, such men as Chi
nese' Gordon and Ensign Bagley went
to hell, then want to go there, too
The speaker contrasted the action of
Love and the body he represented with
that of the men who are springing to
the ranks of the army. He said that
patriotism was not opposed to chris
tianity, and declared that he, as a mes
senger of God, one of line of prophets
centuries old, felt that the voice of the
president calling for troops was the
voice of God.

SECOND HAND LOVE.
A Topeka Woman Leaves Her Hus-
band for a Former Lover.

Fort Scott, June 4.-Constable Bry-
den left for Coffeyville with a warrant
for the arrest of a woman named Mrs.
Gardner, who is alleged to have elopei
with a man a few days ago and who.
upon instructions from Chief of Police
Monahan was arrested and held in that
city until her husband could go after
her in order to bring about a reconcile
alton. County Attorney Sheppard re-
fused to give Gardner a complaint, but
a warrant was later issued in Naples
court by him paying the costs.
The couple were strangers in the
city, having only came here two weeks
ago. The conduct of this couple during
the past month reads like a romance.
While in Topeka a few weeks ago
Gardner met the girl and was so en-
raptured with her charming appear
ance that he proposed, was accepted
and were married two weeks later in
Kansas City, after which they came
here. 1t was here that she is alleged
to have eloped with a former sutton,
who is said to have had knowledge OF
the whole transaction.

GOMPERS AT OSHKOSH.
Visits Striking Sash and Door Work
ers. - Visits Kenosha.

Oshkosh, Wis. June 4.-The arrival of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, to look
into the woOdworkers' strike was hailed
with joy by the strikers.
He was met by delegation of strilz-
ers and escorted to the South Side
Turner hall, where he participated in
the regular daily meeting of the strik
ers.. He addressed a packed house at
North Side Turner hall, speaking on
the relations of labor and capital in
general and the circumstances of the
local strike as he understood them. He
will leave for KenOSha to investigate
the conditions there.
1t is not thought that Mr.. Gompers'
visit here will bring about any change
of front on the part of the strikers or
any change of programme. Rather it
will stiffen them in their determination
to hold out for their claims.
The strikers are not maintaining as
perfect order as they did. They have
begun to annoy nOn-union operatives.
There was one arrest today and two
more will follow tomorrow.

New Floor in r. I. Depot.

Within the next ten days a force of
worklnen will commence replacing the
hard pine floors of the second and third
stories of the Rock Island depot build
ing in this city with hard maple. When
the work is completed the Rock Island
offices will have the finest floors of any
building in the city. The total cost of
replacing the floors will be in the

floors were put in when the depot was
built, and the continued hopping dur

warped and splintered the pine wood
to make new floors badly needed.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is al
least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh cure is taken internally,
acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.
