HOW A LOCAL CHURCH
LOST GOOD PREACHER.

A local church, whose pulpit has
been vacant for several weeks. has
had a committee casting about for a
pastor.
Ia a town down the state there was
a preacher who possessed talents that
attracted the committee. He was
paid a visit. He was all and more
than he had been reputed to be, the
committee being greatly impressed by
one of his sermons. He WAS asked
what salary he would accept to make
a change. He named his price. Tue
committee told him it was q trias
steep. but it was believed the congre-
CATION would allow it. The minister
was informed that he might expect to
hear from the committee within a week
The committee returned home con-
fident in the belief that at last the
right man had been secured. Sunday
q report was made to the congrega-
ton, which voted to pay the salary
specified by the preacher from do ~n
the state. A call was accordingly ex.
tended and the congregation anxious
ly awaited the appearance of the new
pastor. In the course of few days
he replied that he was sorry to dis
appoint the committee. but church
in another town had met the figure
named to the Rock Island committee
and raised it $500. So the Rock ISL
and church is still without q pastor.

old tree trunks and natural promon-
tories. The government. in scatter
ing lights, has taken hint from ma
ture and many a light shines from
tree trunks or. from frames built upon
familiar sites. Others are upon is
lands and still others upon floating
buoys Very few of them are to be
found near houses. 1t means a hard
on shore path to keep the lights
burning on this greatest of rivers.
Tended by the U. S. Lily.
The U. S. Lily. which touched at
Rock Island recently. is the patrol
boat of these river lighthouses, and
makes about four trips n year to every
keeper, carrying oil. wicks, matches.
little ladders. ne~ lamps and lamp
frames, copies of the book of instruc-
lions. and last, but not least, the cash
compensation for the keepers. 1t is
no wonder that the Lily appears beau
tiful 10 the keepers. But this light
house tender. for such she may be
called is, not because of her duties,
a beautiful b0at. From stem to stern
she is kept as clean and prim as
battleship in its peace time dress of
white. She is a we'll proportioned
side wheeler, with roomy and airy
cabins and stateroems, and the OIL
GERS who live aboard her have every
opportunity to enjoy a healthful life
Must Barn Every Night.
One thing that the rule book which
the commander of the Lily presents
to the light keepers impresses upon
the latter is the fact that "the light
must burn every night" There is
no moonlight stipulation that per-
mits them to be put out when Luna
is getting in her work. The keeper
must learn this rule first of all. The
light must burn not only on those
nights when the weather is pleasant
and the task of lighting them is pleas
ant, but also when the wind and
storm king RACES and the task is not
only disagreeable but dangerous.
There is no work connected with
the river that has not its tinge of
romance. Perhaps this fact has in
fuenced the naming of the lights.
They are named for islands, Indians,
farmers, steamboat men, river hap
penings. explorers, birds and beasts.

OVERTURNED BOX CARS
BLOCK PEORIA TRACKS

About o'clock last evening, as the
second section of freight train No. u.
of the r. 1. & p, in charge of Con-
ductor Cook, was pulling out for
Peoria, two cars, for some reason not
yet explained, left the track at the
foot of Nineteenth street. The mo-
msntum of the portion of the train
behind overturned them and both
tracks were completely blocked sew
eral hours. One of the derailed cars
was loaded with oats and the other
with flour. Both were righted and
placed on the track with little damage.
The night train from Peoria came
in four minutes late with a heavy load
of passengers and baggage for the
west. A transfer was made past the
wreck and the train was but three
minutes late at the Rock Island depot.

GUIDE THE MARINER
Hundreds of Lights That Burn
in the Mississippi
River.
DANGER OF OLD DAYS REMOVED
Dozen Lamps Along the Rock
Island Rapids-.Visits
From Lily.
DANGER OF OLD DAYS REMOVED

Dark nights and wind and waves
ruled the great Mississippi river in
the old days. When the river mariner
had to depend upon the marks upon
the shore TO guide his craft there was
nothing else to do but to tie up to
the bank should those marks be con-
fused with the blackness of the night.
If a pilot wanted to throw his good
boat away all he had to do was to at
tempt to run the Rock Island rapids
when there was no sun or no moon or
stars to reveal to him his where
abouts. 1t was dificulS enough in
the old days to cross the rapids IN the
day time, and well nigh impossible at
night.
But while Uncle Sam has been
widening out the channel and smooth
ing off the rough places, he has scat
tered here and there an artificial star.
until no less than 500 white lights
burn at various points along the Mis-
sissippi and the pilot need not hesi-
tate to travel the most difficult por-
tions, though the blackness be denser
than the proverbial night in the
land OF Moses. All that he needs to
do is to keep the prov of his boat
squarely upon the lights ahead, first
upon one and then upon the next, and
he will hold his craft in the channel
though the shores be walls of Stygian
darkness. And woe to the light keeper
whose lamp is not trimmed and burn
ing. The river man is quick to ap-
preciate the service and anxious TO
assist Uncle Sam in seeing that it is
as near perfection as possible
Seven Hundred Keepers.
1t requires no less than 200 keepers
to see that these 500 lights are
trimmed and kept burning. Richard
Maxwell. the light keeper on the Rock
Island rapids. has a dozen lights I'M
der his control and nightly makes his
rounds in powerful launch. At the
Des Moines rapids the keeper has IL
lights in charge, and other keepers
have from three to i've. But several
hundred have but single light to
look after. The government pays
from IS to SIS per light for its care.
Before the days of piers, lights and
buoys, the river mariner steered his
craft by familiar land marks such as

suaded to call and see DIR. j. Alvin

Five years ago Mr.. Lasker, who is
an l. 'glishman, won the worlds
championship from Steinitz. and he
has successfully defended his claims
against every prominent player in the
world.
1.-The mastery of chess depends not
so much on intellectually as upon the
character of the player" he said
1.-The man who is of good tempera-
ment and of high ideals proves far
better master of the game than he who
is keen and bright but tricky The
game itself is a splendid method of
developing the faculties"
MIR. Lasker left last night for Dav-
export, where he is to give an exhibit
ton before the chess club of that city
tonight and tomorrow night. Friday
he plays at Milwaukee simultaneous
games with twenty five or thirty play =
ers, leaving each successive table af

SYNOD MAY PLACE BAN
ON SECRET SOCIETIES

Members of the local Swedish
Lutheran church, who are also MEM
bers of the Modern Woodmen and
other secret fraternal organizations,
are looking forward to the coming
meeting of the national synod at
jamestown. N. Y, along toward the
middle Of June with considerable in
terest, as at this meeting it is ex-
pected that the question of expulsion
of mem bers belonging to secret So
cieties will be fought out to finish.
Should il be decided at the James
town meeting that the church prohi
bition against members belonging TO
secret societies shall be rightly en-
forced it will affect over a thousand
members in this vicinity alone,
but while the church would,
it is said, be the choice over
the society here. the indications
are that many of the mem ers would
accept expulsion from the church in
preference to their resignation from
the organizations of which they are
mem bers.
1t is understood that the Minnesota
conference is rabidly in favor of ex-
pulsion of mem bers who affiliate with
secret societies and that it even
threatens to secede in the event that
the ban is removed from such MEM
oers.
Rev. a. l.. Johnston, formerly pas
tor of the First church in Rockford, is
among those who will advocate the
abolition of the church rule barring
out members of the secret societies,
although his adhesion to the rule
while pastor in Rockford made him
some enemies, but Mr.. Johnson's po-
sition was that while the law was on
the statute books of the church it
should be enforced despite the fact he
was personally opposed to the rule.
Rev. F. NJ. Eckman. pastor of the
church at Chisago Lake, Mimi is
among those who insist on the reten-
ton of church rule. Mr.. Eckman has
been offered the presidency of col
lege at Wahoo, Neb.
