poN which has been widely prevalent
among children in that town have
been mild cases of the pest. The
cases diagnosed Sunday are those of
Ed Stephenson and Mrs. Wise, wife of

been i'll for Il few days and when
Moline physician was called he at
once saw that they were suffering
from typical attacks, though they
were unsuspecting of anything more
serious than chickcnpoX. Their
homes were at once quarantined and
proper precautions are to be taken.
OF late there have been a number of
cases of chickenpoN among the juven-
lie population of the village, but the
cases have not attracted any unusual

ATTENDANCE Is UNUSUALLY LARGE

Feast

The fourth annual banquet of the
Rock Island Retail Merchants associ-
alton, which took place last evening
at Maccabee hall, was conceded by
all present to have been the most
Successful one thus far held. Bad
weather did not prevent full attend
ancc, and both the viands, which
were served by the Lady Maccabees,
and the program of toasts which fol
lowed them, were well gotten up and
gracefully delivered
Prior to- the banquet the association
assembled in the hall in the Mitchell
& Lynde building for brief business
session. Here the question which was
before the Tri-City Labor congress at
it's meeting Sunday in relation to the
passage by congress of a parcels post
bill, was brought up. There was n
general sentiment expressed against
such measure as being favorable to
the interests of large department
stores and to the detriment of the
small dealers. In order that the as
ISOLATION and the labor congress
might not antagonize one another
the executive committee of the for
mer was authorized to hold confer
ence with a committee from the lat
ter with a view of reaching an under
standing.

the speaker followed down to the
present day, noting the changes that
have taken place, particularly during
the past 25 years. Advertising. the
speaker said, was first done only by
the manufacturer, the local dealer
being the last to take il up. Now it
has become a science with hundreds
devoting their entire time to it
and with individual firms spending in
some cases as high as $1,0OO,OOO for
that purpose annually.
How to Increase City Business.
II. w. Crawford. successor to H. D..
Mack as division freight agent of the
Burlington, was introduced to speak
upon How to Increase the business
of Rock Island" After referring to
the difficulty of a newcomer taking
up and discussing in an effective man
ner local topic, Mr.. Crawford pro-
two aphOrisms that apply to
this business community in common
with all others. The first was Get
which the speaker said he
believed the business men of Rock Is
land are doing The second was 1T

were applauded.
''The Business Lawyer was the
subject handled by Il. ID. Connolly.
The Speaker acknowledged that it
was popularity supposed that an hon
est lawyer is rather hard to find. but
he took the ground that the majority
of the profession should not be blam-
cd for the shortcomings of the minor
ity. The business lawyer. Mr.. Con-
nelly said, is comparatively recent
but he is filling an i'm
portant position i'm the worlds af-
fairs. 1t has come to pass that bust
ness men now often consult lawyers
On matters of business with the same
that they formerly did on
legal matters alone. All this has not
been brought about without effort
On the part of the profession, and
Mr.. Connolly declared that the law

ing to- work and wait is certain to
sooner or later join the 30 per cent
IF those who make failures of the
profession.

Presidents welcome.

After full justice had been done to
the various courses ON the menu Pres
ideat Kingsbury arose and delivered
an address of welcome to the guests.
He announced that the number pres
ent was the largest that had attended
any of the banquets of the associa-
ton and pointed to the interest mani
tested in the affair as indicative of
good for the organization of the mer-
chants and business men of the city.
The year now beginning he predicted
will be the most fruitful of results in
the history of the association and he
asked as its president the continued
support of the membership. In con-
Guiding he introduced w. Il. Mcintyre
as toastmastcr for the evening. Mr..
Mcintyre accepted the position with
a few characteristic remarks and an
nounccd the subject, Our City," to
which Mayor Knox responded.
Mr.. Knox started by going back to
the beginning of his experience in
Rock Island and depicted graphically
the undesirable conditions which then
prevailed. Among other things he
mentioned boating and frog hunting
in Spencer square and skating down
Eighteenth street into the river. Then
he drew contrast showing the ways
in. which the city has come to take
rank with any of its size in the west.

Annual Merchants Day.

In order to obtain a general express
sion i'm regard to holding the usual
annual merchants day during the
coming July the matter was preached
and resolution unanimously passed
in it's favor. Replies were received
from Senator'S Mason and Cullom and
Congressman Prince in answer to- res
olutions previously passed and for
warded to them asking their support
of the pure food bill now pending be-
fore congress. Senator Mason an
nounced that he was strongly in ia
vor of the bill. Senator Cullom that
he would see that the resolution was
sent To the proper committee and
Congressman Prince that he had not
read the bill and was not i'm a posi-
tion to commit himself upon it. At
. the meeting adjourned To the ban
quot hall.
There were four long tables with
the speakers table set crosswise ut
the north end of the room. The
guests filed into the room To their
places to music by The Apollo Mando-
lin club, which discoursed sweet
music from it's station i'm the north
west corner of the hall during the
progress of the banquet.

of Rock Island in the interests of
beauty. in extending industries and
i'm protecting what is already here
was urged.
The last speaker was Hon. William
Jackson, secretary of the Home Inn
proycment association. who spoke
upon Civic Improvement" Mr.. Jack
son c&patiated at some length upon
the natural beauty of this city and
it's surroundings and upon the efforts
that have already been expended in
their Improvement. He also enlarged
upon the necessity for the cultivation
of outward beauty as one of the most
important aids in right living, both
morally and physically. The work
being attempted by improvement as
sociations all over the country and
the particular field To be entered by
the association that has been formed
here were explained. Mr.. Jackson
closed with an allusion to the spirit
which prevails with some to give up
the whole undertaking on the ground
that il is impossible TO accomplish
anything in the face of difficulties!
All this he dissolved in the light of
past experience, and finished with an
appeal to the people generally to aid
the general movement with their in
dividual efforts.
Following the toasts. which were
ended about midnight. the merchants
passed a vote of thanks to the ladies
of the Maccabees, to The speakers
and to the Apollo Mandolin club for
the respective parts taken during the
evening.

WATCHING THE TIME.
Nearly Everything I'm Life Is Done
with Our Eyes Upon the
Second Hand.

Time is apparently the essence of
our modern civilization The watch
lever moves the business of the
world, for we come and go, open and
close, begin and stop, according as
the clock hands direct. The minute
appears to be the all important thing.
The shadow on the dial, sunrise, sun
set, early and late candlelight, and
all such measures of time have been
long forgotten, and we keep our eyes
on the seconds.
Here in New York, says the Her
aid of that city, the best obtainable
figures show that we have 100000
clocks and watches working to keep
us up 10 time, and the greatest effort
is used to keep them on the tick of
standard time, as though a few sec
onds more or less would disorganize
society. A person of full age with
out watch is a curiosity, and chill
dren carry timepieces about as soon
as they know how to read their faces.
You can scarcely walk a block in
the business section of the city with
out having a great public clock star
ing you in the face. Quite a change
from the days when one town clock
kept time for the entire village and
q greater change from the centuries
when enc sun served the peoples of
the earth as a chronometer.
The drop of ball loosened by an
electric finger, regulates our time
pieces, and from that start we regu-
late our own actions. Our meals, our
working hours, our time for amuse-
ment, the changing of our clothing,
the starting and stopping of trains
and other conveyances, and nearly all
the acts of our complicated lives are
directly under the finger of time,
whose movements are carefully OBJ
served on the dia1s of our clocks and
watches.
If time was made for slaves, then
we are all slaves, but perhaps our
obeisance is because we are follow
ers of the faith that time is money.
