FLOATER MAY BE MISSING
ARSENAL PRIVATE, P. NOLL

Mrs. L. Moore, 1860 Clyborne ave
nue., Chicago. writes Chief of Police
Miller to learn whether the report
is true that her cousin, James Kavan-
augh. was drowned at this point.
Kavanaugh made his home with Mrs.
Moore, but left for trip in the west,
and she was informed recently by a
friend that he had persisted in the
river here. The chief has been unable
to secure any information to enlight-
en- Mrs. Moore, unless it turns out
that the body found the other day in
Cleaveland slough, above New Boston,
should be the body of Kavanaugh,
which is extremely unlikely, as it is
believed to be that of Peter NoIl. a
private who disappeared from Rock
Island arsenal Oct. 16. 1t was thought
Noll had deserted. Noll had enlisted
at Chicago, and had been stationed at
the arsenal only a short time when
he dropped out of sight
Col. S. +. Blunt, commandment at
Rock Island arsenal, has written the
Mercer county coroner for a = more
minute description of the body found
in Cleaveland slough.

ASSOCIATION Is
TO QUIT BUSINESS
Home Building and Loan Votes TO
Go Into Voluntary Liquid
alton,

At meeting of the stockholders
last evening, held in the office of the
secretary, w. c. Maucker, it was voted
that the Home Building & Loan asso-
citation go into voluntary liquidation
The embarrassment caused by the de-
falcation three years ago of the sec
rotary, r. a. Donaldson, has, in
sense, been tided over, and the deficit
met. The association lost $4,000
through Donaldson's act. An admira-
bic showing has been made in the
three years past, but with the burden
of the Donaldson enlightenment still
hanging onto it's neck, the association
found itself unable to compete with
other associations. However, every
dollar will be paid, with percentage of
earnings.
The association was organized in
1891. Henry Carse was the first pres
ident, the present officers being Aug
ust Heimbeck president, c. j. Larkin
vice president, and w C. Maucker sec
rotary.
A resolution was adopted last even
ing commenting the officers and di-
rectors in their efforts to carry on
the associations business.

Some day the whitei man will beat
the negro out of his ~tcowardice, and
then red shirts will sxist no more.
Some day the negro will be a great in

day he will be united under strong

struggle Will not be so unequal as now.
In that time, let US hope, he will have
brave and Christian leaders.

that it can be solved by writing ma
