Elmer Dack Writes of Conditions

Storm.

GONE
Aid That Is Required in Restor.
ing Con1fort-Time to
Help.

Charles Dack, of South Heights,
has received letter from his brother,
Elmer Dack, who is one of the Rock
Island colonists at Alta Iona. 1t
confirms all that has been heretofore
ublished in THE ARGUS in regard to
the severity of the storm among the
inland towns, and emphasizes the ur-
gent need that exists for help from
the outside world. In the region of
Alta Iona the sole occupation of the
people has been that of raising vege-
tables to supply the winter market in
the large eastern cities. Being COM
parative new corners, nearly all the
people had little money. al else
they had consisting of their grow
ing crops. These, together with
all but three houses in the
neighborhood, were totally de-
strcyed and the difficulty lies in get
ting enough to live upon until an
other crop can be grown. Garden
vegetables can be grown. if planted
now, but those of any value as food
require considerable time in which to
mature.
There being no money among the Pc
ople, of course there is no remuneration
for labor. and the people are practi-
cally dependent upon supplies sent in
from outside. These, the letter
states, at the present rate will soon
be exhausted, and then starvation
seems inevitable.
While MIR. Dack writes in the most
ordinary manner, without dwelling
in any manner upon the gravity
of the situation. his letter should
serve to remind the people of the
north that the time for effective char
ity is not past, but the need is even
now growing more urgent.
other Reports of Conditions.
Today's Chicago Chronicle, in re-
viewing the situation in Texas, calls
special attention to the great and
growing need of the sufferers in the
smaller towns, and has this to say of
Alta Iona:
About IS families need to be cared
for at Alta Iona. Five hundred and
thirty ratioDs have been sent there.
In the neighborhood of 40 houses
were destroyed. Two lives were
lost. The population is mainly of
northern people. A shipment was made
them Of provisions and medicines, but
other things are needed at once"
TIE ARGUS is ready to assist any
movement for the relief of the Alta
Iona sufferers.

STILL PURSUING
PREACHER THOMAS.

The Moline Journal in speaking of
the action of Rev. c. b. Thomas. of
this city, and Rev. Sandy Mcdowell.
of Moline, from the A. NJ E. confer
ence of their church says, evidently
with authority: The question was
brought up before this conference
whether it was right TO hold his so
called camp meeting at Prospect
park in Rev. McDowell's pastoral
charge. This camp meeting was
chargea with being not altogether a
religious project, but an enterprise to
afford amusement for the worldly and
q financial benefit for the owners of
the park" Rev. Mcdowell had given
Rev. Thomas notice, so the Journal
says, that he would report him al the
conference for holding the above men
toned meetings il his (McDowell's)
territory, but the Rock Island minis
ter did not heed the warning and his
misdoings were taken up before the
conference. Rev. Thomas held his
ground by stating that the portion of
Prospect park in which the meetings
were held was out in the country and
not IN Moline and therefore was not
on Rev. McDowell's territory. But
the Moline reverend gentleman had
some Clippings from the Moline news
papers, including one with The head
ing, Comp Meeting in Moline" So
the Rock Islander had to own up that
that part of the country belonged to
Moline and not to Rock Island.
LAS a result Rev. Thomas was pub
licly rebuked before the conference.
He rendered an apology in which he
stated that if he were returned to
Rock Island he would straighten mat
tiers out. Rev. Thomas was returned
to Rock Island for another year and
committee of three was appointed to
see that the promises are carried out.
The mem bers of this committee are
Rev. Mcdowell, of this city; Rev L.
Christy. of Davenport, and Rev. Hor-
ace Graves. of Galesburg.
The committee will meet in the
early part of next week to talk over
matters before they start investi-
eating the case of the Rock Island
preacher.
Rev. Mcdowell was returned to
this city for the ensuing year, which
is very pleasing to his friends"
