him escape from the spell being eN-
erted over him. she states that the
woman in the case was not a member

CIGARET Is THEME
Union Service at First Methodist
Church Largely At
tended.
AN ADDRESS BY MISS CASTOR
ArOusing Sentiment in Support OF
Prohibitive Legislative
Enactment.

The auditorium of the First Meth
odist church was filed last evening at
the union, service held under the aus
pieces of the Wonan's Christian Tenn
perance union in the interest of the
Anti-Cigaret league, whose superin-
tendent, Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, was
in attendance to deliver an address
on the progress of the war that she
has been waging the past several
years.
The congregations uniting were
those of the Broadway, Central and
United Presbyterians, First Method
list and First Baptist churches. Mrs.
j. w. Stewart, president of the Rock
Island branch of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union, made an in
troductory talk stating the purposes
of the meeting, and Rev. r. B. Will
liams. pastor of the church, present
ed Miss CASTOR.
Miss CASTOR spoke for half an hour
on the evils of the cigaret, particu-
larly among the youth of the nation.
and cited a number of instances
where insanity and death had been
produced by excessive indulgence in
the paper covered article. Her pur-
pose is to so arouse sentiment against
the cigaret as to bring about enact
ment of legislation by the general as
sembly to prohibit its sale in Illinois.
Such bill has been before he legis-
lature at several sessions. but the to-
bacco interests have thus far been able
to marshal sufficient influence to pre-
vent its adoption. Miss CASTOR stat
ed she was not discouraged, however
and hoped within a short time to ac-
complish her mission. She is making
a direct appeal to the voter to see to
it that the man he supports for the
Legislature will lend his aid to the
anti-cigaret measure in the event of
his election. The bill on each presen-
tation has been more favorably re-
ceived than in the preceding instance,
and Miss CASTOR is confident that
eventually it will meet with adoption.
Others who spoke at the meeting
were Professor Thompson, president
of the Geneseo Collegiate institute:
II. Il. Hayden. superintendent of the
Rock Island schools; Rev. ID. L. Me
Nary. pastor of the United Presbyter-
ian church; Rev. William Torrance,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church. and Rev. II. w. Reed, pastor
of the First Baptist church.

ICE IN THE RIVER STOPS
LAST RAFT OF THE SEASON

The steamer Kit Carson, which UNI
dertook last week to bring down a
raft for the Muscatine saw mill, met
with trouble in Lake Pepn. The lake
was reached when the weather was
the coolest and there was such a
quantity of ice moving that the cap
tain saw it would be impossible to
handle a raft. Accordingly he made
for La Crosse and went into winter
quarters in Black river. The trip. if
it had been accomplished, would have
been a record breaker in rafting his
tory.
There has been great deal of ice
floating in the river past this city
during the last few days. 1t was not
cold enough at this point to form
much ice, but north of here the river
came near closing in places
