TOOK GIRLS SAVINGS.
Davenport Young Woman Leaves Her
Money with Fortune Teller.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Davenport, May 30.-Some time ago
a fortune teller. this time a man, To-
Gated in the western part of the city,
and proceeded to tell people how to
straighten out their love entanglements,
succeed in business and hand out com
munications from their departed loved
ones. All the time he was on the look
out for the main guy.
Last week a West Davenport young
woman. who ought TO have known bet
ter, called on the fortune teller, and he
started her on money matters. When
She admitted that she had Sl15 in the
bank, he tickled her nearly to death
by telling her that If she would leave
the cash with him her money would
double in three days. She brought II
around Friday and he told her to come
again Monday. and get her $3.50. Sat
urday night he skipped the town and
Monday there was grief for the young
woman. While she bemoans her loss
the fortune teller is probably opening
up for business somewhere else, for
there are others who are longing for a
similar experience to that of the DaVen-
port victim.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, May 30.-The business
men of the city are talking seriously
of combining and asking that writ
of mandamus be issued in the district
court compelling the company to OPP
crate the street cars. Several attorneys
were asked regarding the matter some
disagreeing on the subject as to wheth-
er or NOT under the conditions the court
would have power to take this action.
It was also stated that II this matter
were brought up in the courts that a
decree might be issued compelling the
city and county authorities to furnish
police protection such as the company
demands to operate the cars.
No action has been taken along this
line as yet
An attempt was made to get the
strikers and the company to enter an
agreement to operate the cars today,
but no satisfactory conclusion could be
reached.
One Of the strikers who has been in
sympathy with the company turnout,
yesterday said he thought that the best
way to settle the trouble was for these
three men, whom the company refuse
to take into their employ again. to
agree to have the other men go back
to work without them, and then both
sides would be satisfied.

must begin in the home and thus grad
ually educate public sentiment for. in
stead of against us
I'VE have met encouragement wher-
ever clubs have been formed. our
women are quick to recognize the need
and are anxious for organized effort.
Heretofore the women of our race had
only the church and secret organiza-
tons and they are glad TO avail them
selves of the broader club work. They
have come to feel the need of the up
lifting and hope to one day compare
favorably with the women of other
races
