PROMISED STRIKE FAILS.
BrickIsyers and stone Masons still at
Work In Davenport.

Bricklayers and stone Masons still at
Work In Davenport.
The sympathetic strike, promised in
Davenport yesterday failed to material
ize. The bricklayers did not quit work
as had been anticipated they would, and
the stone masons held off awaiting
the action of the bricklaysrs. The
consequence is that both the brick
and stone men are at work as usual.
The promoters of the idea of SYM
pathetic strike, which is in the inter-
est of the striking carpenters. have
not yet given it up, however. 1t is
said that an early meeting of the
brio slayers will be called at which a
sympathy strike will probably be Or
dered, in which event the stone
masons and others would probably do
likewise

ing.

Committees in connection with the
forthcoming log-roiling of the Tenth
Congressional District Woodmen Pic
mic association have taken a hustle on
themselves, as they find it is neces-
sary to do in order to have all in
readiness for the proper entertain
ment of the crowds of people that are
expected to come to Rock Island on
that date, July Is.
The finance committee had meet
ing last night. but sscertained on
comparison of notes that little or no
money had been raised. simply be-
cause it had not been gone after. and
the committee mem oers decided it
was up to them to move. and move
quickly, as the extent of the work of all
the other committees depends wholly
upon how much Of the lucre they can
gather in. For instance, the decoration
committee, of which +. G. Young is
chairman, has figured that it will need
at least $500 to Put the city in holiday
attire. At this rate the material to be
used is figured at cost price The
plan is to decorate on scale never
before attempted in Rock Island. and
that is saying a great deal The
finance committee wants to complete
its soliciting by next Friday. Every
merchant and citizen will be given
opportunity to contribute to the gem
eral expense account. If reports as
to the excursions heading our way
July Is are reliable, you will not be
sorry that you donated, for the money
will be well spent.

DIED OF A RARE AND TERRIBLE
DISEASE

Morris Sachs, a Russian pedlder of

| TENDER 9, from a rare, but almost inva-
riably violent and fatal disease known
as anthrax. He was forty-nine years
, old, married, and when In this city lived
at 205 Commerce street. The Century
Dictionary defines anthrax as "a de-
structive infectious disease of brutes,
and sometimes of human beings, which
is associated with and seems to depend
upon the presence in the blood of
minute rganism-Bacillus Anthacis,
Sachs disease came. 1t is said, as it
usually does with human beings, from
handling hides, in his business on Long
Island. virulent ulcer first appeared
on the body and then blood poisoning
of the most malignant character set in
from which he never recovered. His
body was brought to New Haven for in
terment. The last case of anthrax
known in this city occurred about five
years ago. The patient was with great
difficulty saved. The disease may be
communicated by incubation.
