Holds Meetings In Third, Fourth and
Fifth Wards to Fix Up Delegations =
McCaskrIn and Prince to Double in
Some ward,-Tan HustIiDg All Along
the Line.
Things political in the local repub-
lican push are approaching fever heat.
While the various candidates have
been on the hustle for some moons,
the organization of the several wings
has only commenced, and is being
pursued diligently, Systematically,
and in some cases desperately.
Last night Charley Searle, who
feels he is entitled to don the toga
Congressman Prince has been carry
ing for few seasons, called together
his fellows of the Third, Fourth and
Fifth wards. There was a meeting in
each ward at which plans were laid
to pick a delegation of sure ones for
Mr.. Searle-those who will stick all
the way through the piece for him
and his cause, regardless of whatever
inducements might be handed out by
the enemy. Charley threw bouquets
of pretty things at the boys, inn
pressing upon them the necessity of
whooping it up for him until the end.
He left each gathering feeling salts
lied he had met fellows who would
prove as true as steel. 1t was a good
nights work. Tonight he will con-
fer with the party lights favorable to
his candidacy in the Second ward, and
possibly the Seventh ward.
McCaskrIns on Still Hunt.
In he m
boys are conducting what might be
termed still hunt. They have had
ward meetings, too, but have made it
point not TO allow any information
to get abroad that might be beneficial
to Brother Searle. They propose to
mix it. so far as delegations are con-
cerned. In the First and Second
wards they will have ticket on
which George Washington McCaskrin
will stand alone as the aspirant for
congressional distinction, while in the
Third, Fourth and Fifth. George
Washington will permit Mr.. Princes
name 10 stand alongside his on the
primary ticket. and in the Sixth and
Seventh Mr.. Prince will 90 it alone.
Anything to beat Searlen is the slo-
gan of the McCaskrins, and Of course
Mr.. Prince and his supporters are not
particularly anxious that the Searle
and McCaskrin factions should get to-
gether and smoke the pipe of peace.
Knox county republicans held their
convention yesterday. Congressman
Prince was of course Endorsed for re-
nomination. The delegates to the
state convention are about evenly di-
vided on the Tanner-Cullom PROPOSE
ton.
Aside from the fight, locally speak
ing for the congressional ind orsement.
lively work is being done by those
who aspire to the legislative nomina-
ton and the county offices, and al
together interesting times are in pros
pect in the republican ranks in Rock
Island county.

WOMAN'S SAD DEATH.
Emma Bostrome Passes Away
Without Telling Where
Relatives Are.
LITTLE IS KNOWN OF HER HERE.

Stops at Home of Friend and Succumbs
to Lung Trouble. Supposed to Have
Been brought on by Exposure-Life In
surance Policy Lapses Day Before Her
Demise.
Emma BostrOme died this morning
at O'Clock at the home of Miss Mar
garet Dudley on Seventeenth street.
Very little is known of the deceased.
A woman living in the house where
she died says she stopped there about
three years ago and left a bundle.
At that time she claimed TO be work
ing as 4 domestic. About four weeks
ago she again appeared at the home
of Mrs. Frieble, and was kept till last
Friday. TGen she was taken in by
Miss Dudley, where she remained to
the time of her death.
There is an impression among those
who knew her that she had a brother
living at Geneseo, bat nothing certain
is known. Deceased was - years of
age. and while rather eccentric, she
was neat and respectable in appear
ance. Her death was probably due
to lung trouble resulting from expos
ure and lack of care. She carried an
extension policy in the metropolitan
company for SIPS, which lapsed only
the day before her death.
Disposition of Remains.
Undertaken Knox has charge of the
remains, and if nothing further can
be learned OF her relatives they will
be buried at the expense of the
county.
DR.. c. Z. Foster, county poor ply
stefan, who had been called to attend
Miss Bostrome, said this afternoon he
believed her death was due to cancer
of the stomach. He had arranged for
her removal to the county iniirmary
today.

HOT SPRINGS CHARMS.
Charles FIeIiG Writes Concerning the
Arkansas Resort.

Charles FIeBiG Writes Concerning the
Arkansas Resort.
Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 16.-Editor
The ARGUS: Having been now about
ten weeks at Hot Springs, | thought
it might interest your readers to hear
some news from this well-known wa
tering place.
hot Springs is located in valley
between two spurs of the Ozark
mountains and about 30 degrees north
latitude, consequently the winters are
mild and such a thing as snow would
astsnish the natives. The United
states government controls all the
springs and licenses the different bath
houses, but fixes the price, which is
about 10 cents per bath. The
water comes at about 15S degrees
out of the mountains and is piped to
the different bath houses. There are
over seventy-tive springs here, at all
kinds of temperature. The weather
is at present beautiful, the grass is
green, the rosebushes are budding and
the magnolia and other vines are full
in leaf. There seems to be a wrong
impression up north as to the cost of
living here, and many think that the
cost is prohibitory. This, however,
is not so. One can board and room at
a fairly good hotel for s per day or
rent a furnished cottage complete
with everything for housekeeping at
$50 per month.
The scenery is simply beautiful and
there are all kinds of chances for the
kodak fiend; he can take pictures of
the donkeys (both kinds) in Happy
Hollow, and take views from the top
of the mountain 1000 feet high. This
mountaiu-climbi bling business is of
course not very agreeable TO me, but
| get there Just the same.
Ferd Holdorf, of Rock Island, is
here and is improving, and under
stand some more Rock Islanders are
coming. The treatment agrees with
us immensely and will, | think, take
a good deal of my rheumatism away.
Doctors and quacks there are here
legion, but l would advise visitors,
unless they are sick, to leave them
serenely alone. The city is full of
patients from all parts of the coun-
try, and jolly good crowd they are.
II makes one shudder to think that
you are having some tirst-class bliz-
yards there, while we are picking
violets in the woods.

TO REMAIN ANOTHER WEEK.
Engagement of Revs. Kerr and Johns
Closes Next Sunday.


Closes Next Sunday.
The largest Monday evening meet
ing Evangelists Kerr and Johns
have yet conducted was held at the
Methodist church last evening. The
congregation comfortably filled the
lower floor of the church. An inter-
esting prayer and testimony meeting
followed the sermon. The engage
ment with the evangelists closes with
the service of next Sunday evening.
When Speaker Kerr announced his
text, Sir, we would see Jesus" a
statement made by certain Greeks to
one of the disciples of the Man of
Galilee. he voiced what he believed
and many others believe to be the
great cry of worldwide humanity.
The longing of the heart is not for
dogma, for creed, for ritualism, but for
Him who bore mans griefs and carried
his sorrows. And this longing may be
satisfied, for Christ is not a myth, a
creation of fanciful religionists. The
worlds best demonstration of the re-
atty of His person is in the reproduce
ton of His character and life in hui
man lives. Moses came so into con-
tact with Him that when he came
down from the mountain where he saw
Him face to face his face shone till the
people saw the heavenly Influence
shine out of his face. And Stephen
became 50 like Him that even his enc
mics saw his face shine as the face of
an angel, and heard him pray, as his
Master, with dying breath, Lord, lay
not this sin to their charge" And
Peter and John, when they found 4
man down at the Beautiful Gate of the
temple, in the spirit OF their Lord
lifted him up aud said they had Meth
er silver nor gold. but what they had
they would freely bsstow, and they
said, In the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth rise up and walk" Mr..
Kerr said the world wants less dog
matte discussion of Christ and more
of Him i'll the lives of
those who profess to follow Him.
