PARADE OF THE PYTHIANS.
Rock Island and Moline Lodges Take Part
in the Turnout at DaS export.


The Rock Island and Moline X. P.
lodges, headed by Bleuer's band,
| went to Davenport last evening and
participated in the grand Pythian
parade, which was over a mile in
length. 1t was reviewed by Maj.
Gen. Carnahan. of indianapolis. and
Brig. Gen. j. G. Manchester and staff.
OF all the divisions in line, that
from Moline, headed by Bleuer's band
of this city, and escorted by Rock ISL
and knights, won the most honors for
its fine appearance. The military
maneuvers executed in the procession
under the direction of Col. Kittilsen
won applause all along the line of
march, circumstance that was as
gratifying TO the Rock Island knights
as to those from Moline The enthu-
siasm aroused among Phythians from
this side of the river over the distinc-
ton thus accorded Moline has resulted
in a movement to reorganize the Rock
Island uniform division of the Knights
of Pythias.
The grand lodge of the Knights of
Pythias of Iowa opened it's session
yesterday with 1.450 Pythians present
from all over the state. The election
of officers developed some lively con-
tests and the afternoon was chiefly
taken up with balloting. Those
whose election was decided were:
Grand Chancellor-S. /. Sallinger,
of Manning.
Grand Prelate-F. P. Carey. Clear
field.
Keeper of Records and Seals-H. d.
Walker MOunt Pleasant
Grand Master of Exchequer-W. L.
S. Rath, Ackley.
Grand Inner Guard-W. A. Colip,
Waterloo.
Supreme Representatives &C. F.
Kuehnle, Dennison; G. G. Dowell,
Des Moines.
Grand Trustees-A. l.. Kincaid,
Knoxville; w. a. Henderson, Clar-
linda.
Mayor George L. Baker and former
Senator William G. Schmidt well
coined the delegates, and George Jep-
son, of Sioux City, responded on be-
half of the visitors. The grand lodge
degree was conferred on 35S past
chancellors. The report of the grand
chancellor, j. c. Blake, of Fort Dodge,
showed gain of three lodges during
the last year. The uniform rank has
held its own, although the war took
it's commander, Col. j. G. Lopez, to
the Philippines, and the volunteer
service cost it many members, as
well as retarded its growth.

HustIing for the Fair.

Not day passes that something
new and interesting does not spring
forth in the arrangement for the Mo
line street fair which will commence
Aug. IS, for one week. The different
committees are working hard and are
not leaving a stone unturned to make
the fair a success. Promoter Nc
Donald has secured some of the best
attractions possible, and is still add
ing to his long list. 1t is said that
there will be more attractions to the
Moline fair than at fairs given in
cities several times the size of Moline.
A committee of Moline ladies is to
call en- Rock Island ladies and confer
with them in regard to the floral
parade.

THE PLANS HAVE BEEN DRAWN.

j. d. Besler, general uperintendent
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy

today armed with plans and blue
prints of a joint depot and yard ar
rangement'into which his road and
those of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul have entered into at East Moline,
which is beginning to boom in the
erection of new factories and building
of homes, and will eventually require
better railway facilities than are
at present furnished there. The depot,
which it is understood. will be frame
structure, will consist of freight and
waiting rooms and office and will be
in charge of an agent who will act for
the three companies.
Great things are promised at East
Moline, where several manufactures
are already building, and the railrc ad
companies want to be in position to
meet any demands that may be made
upon them.

for the transfer of the Union house
property, in accordance with the
sale heretofore announced in The

as possible, and will be completed
soon. Then the razing of the
old hotel will be begun and it will
not be long until dirt will be flying
and the depot will be reality before
MANY months.

Tommy Ryan. the famous pugilist,
who trained Jim Jeffries for his fight
with Robert Fitzsimmons, arrived in
Rock Island today, looking as fresh as
a daisy. having just left West Baden
Springs, where he has been taking
life easy for few weeks. Ryan has
a number of warm friends here, and
whenever he has an engagement in
the neighborhood he invariably hangs
his hat up in Rock Island while doing
his training. He is to meet Jack
Moffat, of Chicago, in a 20-round
bout at Dubuque Aug. 81 for a purse
of 81, 500. Ryan will train at the Mo-
line Athletic club for this match.
BY the way. the presence here at the
same time of Tommy Ryan and Kid
Mccoy is an unusual occurrence in
local pugilistic circles. Although such
| a thing would be impossible. what an
| event it would be if they were to meet
in the ring during their stay here. as
their next fight will be an event of the
century in the pugilistic world. But
| this is only rosy dream, as fighters
| of their standing must have time to talk
and plan.
Ryan is a perfect type of the
"brainyh boxer, who refuses to trust
to smuggling to win battle. and
places his reliance on a com bination
of dazzling feints, straight left-hand
jabs and nimble footwork to carry
him through to victory. He is a
past master in the art of defense and
attack, and his long and brilliant
record contains but one defeat. re-
ceived at the hands of Kid Mccoy,
who is now fighting in the heavy
weight division. On the occasion re-
ferred to Ryan was certainly not at
his best, and moderated his adver-
sary, who has since become world
famous. The Syracusan succumbed
to his artful opponent after a desper-
ate battle of Is rounds. Since then
he has in measure redeemed him
self by fighting Mccoy to draw, the
police interfering in the fifth round,
and compelling the pugilists to cease
hostifities.
1t is probable, however, that these
clever pugilists will get together again
in the very near future. Mccoy re-
Gently issued a statement to the effect
that he was willing to 90 with Ryan,
and conference has been agreed on
to take place at Chicago the 18th of
this month to make arrangements for

In the east and in The west.
The sale of relics was forbidden by
Theodosius, yet they constantly in-

an altar to hold them. In the fifth CEN
fury also ex vote offerings began to be
hung on church walls-a custom which
was Of heather origin. The use Of
lights, which. as above said, was for
