ONEDAYTO RUBBER
All Rummage of That Material to be
Gathered in City and Disposed
of for Benefit of Bethany.
SALE is TO OPEN THURSDAY
Committee Will Take Charge of the
Rink on Fifteenth Street To-
morrow.

The rummage sale committee of
Bethany Home, which is to hold its
fifth annual rummage sale in the Rock
Island rink commencing next Thurs
day afternoon and continuing after
noon and evening through the week
is hard at work completing arrange
mentS for the sale. The committee
will take possession of the rink tomor-
row and begin to install the counters
and departments.
a large item of expense heretofore
has been in securing and Transporting
10 and from the rink suitable counters
AS these annual sales are a fixture iii
the work of the home. it has been
thought best to have constructed a
number of tables which can be used at
all the sales and it is expected that the
amount saved in express charges in
one year will almost pay the cost of
construction.
Donations should BE Ready.
Donors are requested to have their
rummage ready upon the day fixed for
the collection. Every added call to a
home means additional expense and
decreased profits arising from the
sale. There are over two hundred per
sons engaged in the sale who give
their time and services gratis and the
committee ask consideration and for
bearance for mistakes which are
bound to occur in so large an I'M
dertaking. There were last year sew
eral thousand separate donors of rum
mage and over five thousand calls
made by the wagons. And this work
was done in substantially one week,
most of the time with a crowded sale
in progress. If rummage IS overlooked
or the wagon does not come when the
call is fixed by the solicitor. friends
of the cause will know that it is not
inten tional but is incident to the char
acter of the work and the extent of it.
To Have u Rubber Day.
In some localities quite an item Sc
cured for associated charities or other
kindred organizations is by the adop-
ton of a sO-called rubber day"
Upon this day in certain designated
quarters of the city are placed recep-
tacIes in which the citizens place old
rubber of all kinds which is gathered
by the officers of the organization and
sold as old rubber. 4 specially of the
present rummage sale will be the col
lection of old rubber which the com
mittee can dispose of for several times
the price allowed by junk dealers.
As heretofore stated in The Argus
clothing is the staple of these sales.
Its presence aids the worthy poor to
secure warm clothing for the cold
weather. Crockery of all kinds, plates,
cups and saucers are especially desir-
able.

MASON IS HOLDING HIS JOB
And Perkins is Given Wide Berth in
Suit Against Village of Princeton.

Geneseo News: The September
meeting of the village board at Atkin-
son Monday evening was attended by
George Perkins the barber-jeweler.
who is seeking redress for alleged false
Imprisonment. and his attorney, Harry
A. Reherd of this city. The presence
of Perkins was to receive an answer
to the proposition he had made TO the
village board, that if Policeman Tom
Mason were permanently discharged,
the proposed suit for damages would
be dropped. Perkins. it should be re
called, is the man who was arrested
by Officer Mason and locked in the
calabOOse, and who subsequently broke
Jail by using a monkey wrench on tn"
door of the lookup. Then he at once
took counsel regarding a suit for dam
ages for false imprisonment. and if the
policeman had not furnished bonds the
suit was to be directed against the vii
lage. But before action was taken
Perkins made the proposition that if
officer Mason would be given his walk
ing papers. the proposed suit would
be dropped. The board gave Mason a
temporary layOff.
Monday evening al the meeting of
the board. when the order of unfinish-
ed business came up, one member an
nounced that two applications for the
position of policeman had been filed
and one Of these as the suspended
officer. Thomas Z. Mason. When &
vote was taken on the appOintee Ma
son was reinstated by unanimous
decision. Thus was the proposition OF
Mr.. Perkins answered. and he now
promises 10 obtain all redress that the
law will allow him.
Mr.. Perkins has also directed his
attorneys to take steps in a different
line of action that is the outgrowth
of the Atkinson tangle. Some papers
published a story in which Perkins
was referred TO as a drunkard. tip
pier and a gambler. He has instructed
his attorney. Harry A Reherd Of Gen
eseO, TO go after these papers and
the attorney states that he will do
so. Thus the Atkinson tangle is weav-
ing about itself an amount of litiga-
ton that will become famous before
