Bishop j. L. Spalding has issued
the customary circular TO the priests
of the Peoria diocese relative to the

which begins Feb. 20. In the same
connection it is urged that pastors
during the next six months arrange
for mission or the devotions of the
40 hours in order to comply more
fully with the directions of Pope Leo
in relation to the jubilee. Catholics
are especially urged also to attend the
services Wednesdays and Fridays,
which are outlined to include similar
devotions and meditations to those
conducted on these days during lenten
seasons of the past. The regulations
were read in most of the Catholic
churches of the diocese yesterday.
They follow:
1. Ash Wednesday falls on the goth
day of February.
2. All the days of lent are fast days
except the Sundays.
3. AL persons who have completed
their 21st year, unless legitimately
dispensed, are obliged to keep the
fast. Custom allows a cup of coffee.
tea or chocolate, with small piece of
bread 60 be taken in the morning. In
the evening a collation. not exceeding
the fourth part of an ordinary meal is

4. By dispensation, the use of
flesh meat is allowed at the principal

lent.
6. All under 81 years of age. those

health, are exempt from the fast.
Persons excused from fasting on &C.
count of tender age, hard labor or
sickness, are not restricted to use of
flesh meat at only one meal on the day
on which it is allowed. Those who
entertain any reasonable doubt about
their obligation to fast or abstain
ought to apply to their pastors for adj
vice or dispensation.
z. The time of fulfilling the pas
chal duty is extended in this diocese
from the first Sunday in lent to Trim
ity Sunday.
Exemptions From Fast.
In virtue of special faculties given
in a letter of the sacred congregation
of propaganda the ordinaries of the
United States on the 18th day of
March. 1895, for 10 years, hereby
grant to all laborers in this diocese
permission to eat meat at one meal on
days of abstinence.
From this permission, however,

IMPORTANT CHANGES

as heretofore mentioned in THE
ARGUS. The addition of these build
ings to the business community will,
OF course, make some changes along
Second avenue. Several new retail
enterprises, it is said. will be
launched. among which is a new
jewelry store. new cigar store. and
the enlargement of one or two stores
already established. Altogether the
retail business interests seem in q
prosperous condition with a good
prospect of some valuable additions

ASSOCIATION FORMED:
BASEBALL MEN ACTIVE

Reorganization of the Rock Island
Baseball association under the incor-
poration of 1898 was effected at a
meeting of stockholders Saturday
evening, j. F. Munger being chosen
president, Lou G. Eddy secretary,
and I. F. La Velle treasurer trio
of active supporters of the game who
can be relied upon to do their utmost
to make the local club a winning
proposition, both financially and from
baseball point of view. Mr.. Munger
was also chosen a league director.
1t was agreed that the 81 900 capital
stock, which has been subscribed by
10 persons, be collected Feb. %. In
the meantime $500 is to be gathered
by general subscription. as past ex-
perience has proved that at least
81, 500 is needed to put team in the
field. The additional funds can be
easily secured, the officers already
having any number of voluntary
offers of donations from business men
and others who realize ball team
cannot be organized on talk.
As soon as manager is engaged
the employment of play ers will be be-
gun. Tim O'Rourke writes from his
home in Minnesota that he has signed
as manager of the Shreveport. La
club in the Southern league. He would
have preferred to have come here,
but had received advance money from
Shreveport before he learned that
Rock Island was to put in team.
Bobby Warner, who held down second
base with the local club in 1898. is one
of those applying for the management.
The officers are DESTROYS of making
selection at as early date as possible.
as upon the manager entirely depends
the quality of the team, and he must
have little time to study the candi-
dates.
Secretary Eddy is in correspondence
series of exhibition games for two
weeks previous to the opening of the
season.

are excluded all Fridays in the year,
Ash Wednesday, Wednesday, Friday
and Saturday of holy week and the
vigil of Christmas. 1t should also be
remarked that on those days on which
the use of meat is thus allowed fish
and flesh cannot be eaten at the same
meal.
This permission. to eat on certain
days of abstinence extends not only
to the laborers themselves, but also
to their family, so that every mem
Der of their family participates to the
privilege of the indult.
Those who make use of this dis
pensation are earnestly exhorted to
perform some other work of penance
on those days.
Temperance Urged.
The best modification for lent is
to abstain from the use of intoxicat-
ing drinks in honor of the sacred
thirst and agony of our Lord on the
cross. Because drunkenness is such
a whitening scourge and counts its
victims by many thousand on its ex-
tirpation depends the blessings of
health, the happiness of homes and
the salvation of many souls.
Hence the choicest self-denial for
the holy season to make in your
heart to carry out in practice the fol-
lowing promises:
1. To abstain from all intoxicat-
ing drinks during lent.
2. To keep out of the saloon.
3. To say one our father and three
hail Marys every day for the sup
preston of intemperance.

touched S11s@S1A. Profit taking at this
figure brought slight reaction but May
closed strong Il up at ST.
Corn opened firm on cables and in
sympathy with wheat, May starting Il

small early.
Corn continued to be an Indifferent
affair and was helped but little by

Council Bluffs, Dec. N.-John N.
Baldwin continued his closing areu-
ment for the plaintiff in the Doyle
Burns million dollar mining suit. "A
most dramatic incident was when Mr..
Baldwin referred to the effort made by
the defendant in January, 1899. to have
the default secured in the present case
set aside. When Judge Thornell. in the
exercise Of his discretion, set aside the
Judgment he said Doyle, who had lain
for eight months in a Colorado prison,
must be released. The prison doors
swung open and Doyle walked for free
man, returned to Victor TO be received
by his fellow townsmen with open arms,
while the judge who had rendered the
infamous decision which imprisoned
him was driven from the bench TO the
place where he belonged. Senator Pat
terson was in the act of making a
memorandum OF the language of Mr..
Baldwin when the latter turned almost
fiercely upon him and declared: You
have been before this jury for two days;
It's my turn now"

coNwcTs AND ROAD BUILDING.
Second District Supervisors Favo'

Second District Supervisors Favor
Convicts, Use in Building Roads.
Davenport, Dec. 21.-The meeting OF
supervisors of the Second congressional
district assembled in this city yesterday
favored the one district road plan and
the use of state convicts in road build
ing.
The following are the resolutions
passed:
Whereas, Many petitions are being
presented to the various counties ask
ing for permanent improvements on
highways; therefore, be it resolved by
this convention that the legislature of
Iowa should enact a law whereby con-
victs In our state penitentiarieS should
be required to quarry rock for the I'M
provement of highways and that the
state should put in rock crushing plants
and furnish macadam to the various
counties to be delivered on board the
cars at said institutions, the counties
to pay the transportation charges. Rail
way companies should be compelled to
haul the same at the lowest possible
rates This method Of employment we
believe. would obviate the now exist
ing controversy between skilled and
convict labor and improve our highways
without additional expense to the peo-
pie.
Whereas, The one district road plan
has been tried in various townships
turnout the state and has been found to
be more successful than the old plan;
therefore, be it resolved that we reaf-
firm our former action favoring the
adoption of the one distict road PLAN
