TWO MORE DlOcESES
PROPOSED IN STATE

The partition of the Roman Catho-
lie archdiocese of Chicago by the ere
alton of one or two more diOceses in
the province of Illinois is said to be
under consideration.
The reported plan is based on the
rapid growth of the archdiocese since
| it's creation in 1850, and because of
the difficulties any new man would en-
counter in taking up the management
of the large see.
The proposed change contemplates
the creation of two dioceses with Jo-
liet and Rockford as places of resi-
dence for the bishops. The present
archdiocese includes all of Illinois
north of the southern line of Lee, De-
Kalb, Grundy, Whiteside and Kanka-
kee counties.
The plan is to limit the construct
ed archdiocese to Cook county. Then
the church geography would be as
follows;
The archdiocese of Chicago, in
Guiding Cook county.
The diocese of Peoria, of which Bis
hop SpaIding is the head, including
the central part of the state and
Rock Island county.
The diocese of Alton. in charge of
Bishop Ryan, in the southwest part of
the state.
The diocese of Belleville. of which
Bishop Janson is the head, in the
northern part of the state.
The diocese of Joliet, in the east
ern part of the state.
The diocese of Rockford, in the
northern part of the state.

NOT TAKING CHANCES
Rock Island Militiamen Refuse
Order to Man Small
Boats.
AND OFFICERS REMAIN ON SHORE
Adjt. Gen. Smith and Col. Moriarity
Deprived of Cruise on
Dorothea.

Chicago Chronicles: Because naval
militiamen from Rock Island were
too timid to man small boats and GO
ashore at Camp Logan yesterday
Adit. Gen j. Il. Smith and Col. MORT
arity were deprived of a cruise on
the training ship Dorothea. 1t had
been planned to take the two officers
aboard for few days and the boat
anchored for that purpose. The com
mand to man the small boats and go
ashore for the guests was given by
Lieut.. Commander futile. but the sea
! fighters were afraid of the water and
could not be induced to try to ride
the rolling whitccaps even TO escort
the highest official i'm the military of
the state.
1t had been arranged to fire several
lvolleys from the range at the Doro-
thea yesterday to learn if the charge
that passing vessels had been struck
by bullets from there is plausible.
but the program was changed and
the test will be maSa later.
Seven members of the 2nd battal-
ion of the 18th regiment were lost in
the swamp north of the camp Tues
day night They had eluded the
guard and gone to Winthrop Harbor.
Upon trying to steal into camp they
became lost and fired their guns to
draw attention. y provost guard was
sent out and the men were found in
water up to their waists.
DIshonorable Discharge Penalty.
Col. Moriarity took charge of the
prisoners and reprimanded them Sc
verely. He called all of the men
out at 1890 o'clock and gave them Il
lecture. saying he would dishonor-
ably discharge them if the pranks
which the regiment had been playing
continued.
The 3rd battalion arrived late last
night, Maj. Moore in command. An
important test is now in progress at
the range. The magnifying sight for
rifles used by sharpshooters is being
tried TO prove its practicability.

You all know what a fondness l have

strongly built bay horses and began to
drive them. One Sunday morning l

railroad crossing, back again to st.
Charles avenue and then up to Car

under a tree. We had moved at a
pretty good pace, the weather was
warm, and l believed that a little rest
would do the horses good. l forgot to

perfectly still for a moment and then

down to the sidewalk. We all got out
