MOLINE MENTION

Because of the refusal of many
persons to give up the facts to the
school census solicitors, the enumer-
alton started two weeks ago will
have to be gone over to large eX-
tent and the returns can hardly be
made by the time required by law,
July l. Secretary Boman says that
they have met with the greatest
trouble this year and an opposition
wholly uneXplainable. Many per-
sons have refused to tell anything
about the number of children in
their families because they have
feared that such reports will cost
them money. In consequence of this
feeling in some parts of the city the
ground will have to be gone over
again to get returns that are at all
accurate. The census is only to
count the children and not to assess
n tax.
With Wednesday evening the dis
trict convention of the Rebekah
lodges of Rock Island and Whiteside
counties came to an end after one

dent, Miss Hannah Youngren. Mo-

GeneseO, which came down twenty
four strong.
