Six Foot Man Asks Protection From Wo-
mans Spell at Meeting,

The spectacle of a 6-fOOt man run
ming about at religious meeting and
shouting for help in his efforts to get
away from a little woman who had
nearly placed him under d spell is
pictured in the Davenport Democrat.
1t is said to have taken place at a
meeting of the Woodworth-Et ter
band from Moline that is holding
nightly meetings at the Peoples
Union Mission in Davenport The
meeting Thursday night was led by
an assistant to Mrs. Etter, and she is
referred to as the aggressive party
in the Democrats account of the do
ings:
after the main service a little af-
ter-meeting was held, and this woman
began to get in her work on those
who remained for prayers. With one
hand raised to heaven and lowered
occasionally to rub on the forehead
of the person whom she was transtiX-
ing with her eyes. she would make a
la Flint passes with the other hand
until she had her subject going prop
er. Missionary Lee was near the door,
and the big fellow who appealed to
him for help didn't want to be hyp-
Noticed. After he had lodged around
a few punches of chairs and was cor
nered near the platform, he evidently
considered himself lost, and shouted
for help. 1t was as funny as anything
that was ever put on the stage at the
opera house. As soon as Mr.. Lee could
command his voice, he told the big
fellow to come to him if he needed a
protector, and the man made a break
past the eXhorter and reached what
he evidently considered a point of
safety.
81 was sober, all right said the
big fellow, telling of it later. If L
had been a little booty l could have
stood her passes and have laughed at
them, but she nearly had me, and

TEST MADE OF BOILERS AT
THE PLANT AT NEW SHOPS

During this week the six new boil

of the Rock Island road were given
their first test. The machinery is the
first of the kind ever installed in this
vicinity, the boilers being self-stok-

six boilers will develop about 5000
horse power, and viii be used for gen
Grating the electricity that will drive
the machines about the massive
shops.
The boilers are Installed in the

house. Under them are the stokers.
