NEED OF CHURCH is SHOWN.

Miss Downey breaches FOrcefuI Sermon
at Baptist Church.
The revival meetings at the Baptist
church continue to grow in numbers
and interest. Although having a
severe cold, Miss Downey, the evange-
list. preached with great energy last
evening. 1.-The Baptism of the Holy
Spirit and of Fire" was her topic,
She showed the need of the church
today to be the same as the
need of Christ's disciples when
the spirit descended upon the
waiting company of believers at Je-
rusalem. The baser metal in their
composition was burned out of them
and they were changed from selfish.
preund and revengeful disciples into
kind. gentle and helpful men. A
large mum Der of those present showed
their desire for the better condition
to be obtained by this spiritual bap-
tism. The young peoples meeting
yesterday afternoon was one of spe-
cial interest. Miss Downey has a
charming way of dealing with the
young folks. Meetings are held at
2:30, 4:15 and 1880.

and Anderson, Whiteside and Glue

afternoon in the county court room to
confer in regard to the disposition of
stone broken at the county work
house. failed to arrive at any agree
ment.
The supervisors proposed that each
city give $50 toward the purchase of
stone and then divide the broken
stone equally. This did not meet
with favor at the hands of the alder
men, who were not empowered by
their bodies to conclude any arrange
ments. After long discussion moth
ing more definite was arrived at than
that the cities might possibly buy the
stone after it was broken in such
quantities as they desired. The city
councils will pass upon the matter.

FOR BASEBALL CLUB
Fans Find Local Situation Brighter
Than it Has Been For
Years.
TALK OF HOLDING A MEETING
seIden Hill Writes Another Letter
Urging City to Join
League.

1t is probable bsfore another week
action will be taken that will deter
mine whether Rock Island is to have
a professional baseball team during
the approaching season. Supporters
of the game have been discussing the
situation and find the outlook brighter
than it has been in years. All that is
needed is organization and the author
ling of some responsible and capable
person to direct the undertaking.
Whether it would be advisable to
conduct general canvass for funds,
as has been customary in former
years, is q question that remains for
solution. OF course finances are es-
sential to the successful launching of
a club, but by what method they are
to be procured has brought out a
mum Der of suggestions, among them
one that one or more entertainments
be arranged.
Hill Writes Again.
Belden Hill, of Cedar Rapids, has
written another letter to Lou G. Eddy.
who was secretary of the old Rock
Island association, inquiring as to the
local baseball feeling. He says Cedar
Rapids, Terre Haute, Decatur, Bloom
ington aud Quincy have expressed
themselves as ready to enter league.
Rock Island and we other towns are
wantsd. "Our idea" Mr. Hill says.
"is a 4-months' league. so we can all
live. We will all have to get young
players mostly, so no trouble will be
experienced in keeping the salaries
within reasonable limit
sit would be too bad were Rock Is
land to pass through another season
without league team said bust
ness man. "a city of Rock Islands
size and prominence should have such
sport. 1t has had it in former years.
when the city was not as large nor as
we'll able to support a club as it is
new. I can see how people have been
discouraged by failures of the past
few seasons, but they should not lie
down and abandon all hope of future
success in the baseball line.
Life of a Commodity.
Baseball is the life of a commu.
nifty during the summer months. 1t
affords recreation and amusement for
the people and is good thing for the
city. It creates favorable impress
sion in the outside world. letting
other towns know that we are alive.
Let's push the baseball question
along. put in a strong team. and join
q circuit of cities that will be obliged
to play out the season or forfeit a
guarantee of 81. 600 or so.
All of which THE ARGUS Endorses.
Rock Island has no apologies to make
for its record as baseball town. 1t
has supported some of the leading
minor league teams of the west and
will do so again. 1t will require some
hustling to carry out the details. out
it has Eeen done before, and can be
done now, for we have the right kind
of people. All that is necessary is to
show them the way and they will do
the rest.
