A permanent district organization
the Swedish Lutheran church in Mo-
line Saturday afternoon. Delegates
from the twenty-five societies in the
Rock Island district of the Augustana
synod were present to lend Their aid
and moral support to this culmina on
of six months agitation toward a
closer union of the Young Peoples So
cieties throughout this territory. AL
though there has been a feeling for
some time that district organiza ton
of the Luther League was desirable
no definite action was taken on the
matter until September, 1902, when a
meeting was called at Andover with
delegates from the various societies.
At this time a committee was appoint
ed to look into the matter and report
on it. The meeting Saturday was of
the members of this committee, one
member from each society in the dis
trct. The feeling for organization
was unanimous. Yearly meetings will
be held with the different branches
in the district. The following are the
societies that will make up the
league: Rock Island First, Rock ISL
and Zion, Rock Island Grace, Moline,
Alpha, Andover, Berlin, Gable, Daven-
port, Aledo, Cambridge, Geneseo, Nor
rison. New Bedford, Ophiem, Proph-
etstown, Orion, CISCO. New Windsor,
Port Byron, Sterling Woodruff.

WHY STAY PALE?

A pity to see pale girls stay
oale and dull when it is so
easy to get SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion does a few
things well. One of them is
to give rich red blood to pale
girls. There is a reason for it..
But perhaps you are more
interested in results than in
reasons.
The result of steady daily
doses of SCOTS Emulsion
is an increase not only in
the red color of the blood and
in the appetite but in the good
looks and bright manners
which are the real charm of
good health.
SCOTS Emulsion is blood
food.

Something like a month ago Mrs.
May Bogus, through her attorney, c.
T. Cooper, filed suit for divorce in
the Scott county district court, seek
ing a legal separation from her hus-
band, Benjamin Bogus, upon the al
legged grounds of cruel and inhuman
treatment Some time later the hus-
band. who was made the defendant in
the case, called upon Mr.. Cooper and
averred that he still loved his wife
and could not think of Il separation.
Mr.. Cooper was impressed with his
sincerity and at once wrote to Mrs.
Bogus, who had gone to the home of
her parents at Des Moines, urging a
reconciliation. Finally II conference
was arranged to take place at Des
Moines and Mr.. Cooper left for that
place last Thursday. The parties to
the differences met at a hotel in that
city and threw aside their Disagree
ments and once again resolved to live
together as man and wife.

Harry Nash and Il companion collided
with a moving freight train at Fourth

which Nash now lies at Mercy hos

are thankful that they escaped in

and his friend were driving south on

of the men escaped injury. but Nash
was thrown out upon the cow-catcher

He was dragged some distance and
then in some manner almost miracu-
lous. was dropped to one side of the
train. with his leg broken below the
knee. If he had rolled in front of the
moving train instead of to one side,
the mammoth wheels of the iron
horse would undoubtedly have passed
over his body, which would of neces-
sity have meant instant death. The

Most delightful and unconventional
was the "tacky" dancing party given
by the young matrons and the bellies
of the city's upper ten" Friday even
ing at the Moline club. The hall was
a maze of pretty faces and ante-bel-
lum costumes. as far as the young wo-
men were concerned. Remnants of
frontier days were suggested by ging-
ham aprons and the like. The less
said of the male element the better.
as their appearance was disreputable
beyond mention, redeemed only by
clean hands and faces. As might have
been expected under such circum-
stances all present enjoyed them
selves to limit impossible when
irreproaehable gowns and stiff even
ing clothes check the few of spon-
taneous mirth. Coffee was brought
over from the Richelieu, while sand
witches were furnished by the ladies.
Tables were placed together and the
entire party ranged about and the
supper was as mirthful as, the dance.
About thirty-three couples were pres
ent. Ogden's orchestra furnished the
music.

Speaking of the rise and fall of men who gamble in stocks, one writer says that very large part of the transac- t1ons on the stock exchange are not bona fide sales and purchases. The nominal buyer simply offers to bet that a certain stock will be worth so much at date specified. The nominal sell CT takes the bet And generally the parties which appear in the transaction are but the instructed agents Of people who are gambling in stocks by risking a sum on the rise and fall. All through every city and all over our country are these gamblers by deputy, many of whom would think it wrong to risk their money on the throw of the dice or the turn of the cards, but who do risk it in something quite as uncertain and as much beyond their control The extent to which this practice has spread is shown by the sudden curtail- ing of expense by thousands and tens of thousands this summer. Their fam flies go to no watering places this year, or they go in very humble fashion. They have to take in sail, although their proper business is as good as ever, and their proper income is not re- duced. All the money they could spare, and more, has gone into the bot tomless pit of the stock market.

GAMBLING ON A STEAMER
Sharpers Gathered in s10, ooo-Man Ar
 rested and Released.


 Robert T. Hill of Washington, D. O., who said he is connected with the American Financial Surety Go of , Nassau street, New York, caused the arrest of a man who he says is a pro fessional gambler and whose prey IS wealthy men who cross the Atlantic ocean. He told the police that he be ieved he had unearthed one of the big gest swindles on the high seas that had occurred this year
 When the Kaiser Wilhelm II landed at her dock in Hoboken, MT Hill ap- preached local policeman and re- quested him to arrest Morris IeVry, who is 35 years of age and says he IS a mining expert and lives at the Mur- ray Hill hotel in New York. When Levry came off the ship he was taken into custody by the policeman and taken to police headquarters. Later he was arraigned before Acting Re corder Laverty, but the judge turned the case over to United States Commis- sioner Russ, but the commissioners said he had no Jurisdiction and refused to take the case, sending the prisoner back again to the recorder.
 When the policeman and his prison CT reached the recorders court they found it was closed, and so the officer took his man back again to police headquarters.
 Mir Hill said there were three men on the boat, one of whom was Levry, who robbed him in a gambling game Of $4S0. He made formal charge against Levry at police headquarters of "swindling on the high seas.' He said there were several other wealthy men in the party. but they refused to make any complaint against Levry, as they disliked the notoriety it would cause, but MT Hill said that about $1O,- 900 was lost by himself and the others to men who are professional gamblers. He told the police he would prosecute Levry and regretted that the other vic | tims of the sharks were not inclined I to do likewise.
 The police then communicated with { the German consul in New York as to 1 what disposition they could make of | the case, and the consul told them he knew of no law under which they could | hold the prisoner Acting Recorder | Laverty was again found and the pris- | oner once more brought before him. He said he could do nothing with the case, and ordered the. prisoner dis | charged.
 1 Levry then wanted to make a coun- | ter charge against Hill of threatening and carrying concealed weapons but | it was not entertained
 When searched at police headquar- ters Levry had only $10 in his posses sion. He admitted that he had crossed the ocean four or five times a year as a mining expert"

At the time that Dwight F. Davis offered the international lawn tennis challenge cup, four years ago, for com petition, several of the experts, says a sporting journal, declared that if the Britons wanted to capture the trophy they had only to send the Doherty brothers as the challenging team. The result of the play on the courts of the Longwood Cricket club at Boston, last week, and again yesterday at Newport, made this declaration appear in the light of prophecy. Tn series of matches that were in every way the most remarkable that have thus far been waged for the trophy, H. l.. Do herty, the English singles champion, and his eldest brother, Reginald F. Do herty, alone and unaided by the otheE member of their team, Harold s. Ma. hony. defeated the American defending players in decisive and humiliatine manner. The racquet work of the Englishmen stamped them as the su periors of any man in the tennis ranks in this country at the present time The only reservation that could be made would be that at the height o1 his game it is probable that Malcolm D. Whitman would possibly be success full against either of the Dohertys ir three matches out of five.

HoneysuckIe and Galiuna.

It would be disappointment if yel- low ladies' bedstraw, or galium, came not in it's season, year by year, among the stones around our sun dial. The pe- culiar perfume of it refreshes greatly, more especially if mixed with honey suckle 1t is only in Scotland, I be- lieve, where wild honeysuckle blooms, aate, deep within woodland shades, while yellow galium, with flower stalks rising a foot or more, makes gay the sunny banks outside, that one can breathe this mixed sweetness. Caalium is far less vigorous of growth here in the south, where, according to Gerarde, ''it wan- ders hither and taither upon the ground, supporting it's yellow spikes upon the herbage or stones near at hand" Red lamium, always rather. coarse-l looking, is inclined to be a tiresome weed; i; though now and then it is impossible not to enjoy the dash of red given suddenly by cluster of it at the edge of a border, in the grass or somewhere else where it ought not to be; a short-nved tri- umph, to be too quickly ended as soon as the gardens "come round. ."-Corn- hill Magazine.

Dogs Having Their Day.

The twentieth century dog is much pampered quadruped, we all know, but the London dog would seem to be a special object of attention, according to the following announcement in Lon- don weekly: There are sun bonnets to wear on the heads of dogs, sheets for their bodies and shoes for their feet Now we have new and improved collar made for the special delight and qualification of the animals mistress. It may, we understand, be had of leather of almost any kind, made narrow at each end, the width being in the center. It is orna- mented with silver studs, in the recesses of which are perfumes, wherein lies the novelty. Of course, these sweet1y or nate collars are only suitable for ter riers and top dogs generally, as it would be somewhat expensive to provide daily scents which would annihilate the some what strong canine aroma which usu- ally fingers around St. Bernard or a Newfoundland, or even a deerhound or Borzoi. ."-N.
