Tennessee, she will find an immense
amount of profitable reading about the
people and the progress of that peculiar
locality. Most of us are shockingly ig-
norant of the things that lie about US.
Few of us know very much about our
own great country. In a house filled
with books and occupied by intelligent

FIGURES SHOW THE RESULT
Davenport Trades and Labor Assembly
Offered. Everything to Consoli-
date-Union Bakery Here.

AT last evenings meeting of the Tri-
City Labor congress much time was de-
voted to a discussion of the question of
consolidation of the congress with the
Davenport Trades and Labor assembly
and the Building Trades council. This
movement has been agitated by the
labor congress for a long time, and
during the last year the congress has
again taken the initiative and urged the
consolidation.
The matter was brought up in Bus
mess Agent Herges' report, in which
he extended to the congress the greet
ings of the Davenport organizations
for the assistance and cooperation in
the Labor day celebration.
In order to learn just how nearly
the Labor day celebration was tri-city
affair, Mr. Herges analysed the parade.
from the official reports. He found
that the Rock Island and Moline locals.
including the local unions of East Mo
line and New Shops, had something
over ,O60 men in line in the parade
Tri-City unions numbered about Coo
men. and the Davenport locals in line
numbered about $50 men.
Davenport Alone.
THE celebration was typical tri-city
affair. and the figures indicate what
the Davenport organizations could
have done alone" said Mr.. Herges-
Mr. Herges reported to the congress
that the Davenport organizations, re-
alizing that they owe the great success
of Labor day largely TO the assistance
from Rock Island. have already taken
steps in preparation for the next cele-
bration. in Moline. They will do all III
their power TO assist the Moline and
Rock Island organizations TO make the
celebration in Moline bigger than ever
held there.
The possibility of results being OBJ
tanned from immediate work was dis
cussed to some length, and the con
gress decided TO take every step to Sc
cure a consolidation. The argument,
said T. c. Berry. lis that Davenport
should realize that if it was necessary
for them To- cooperate with us to make
showing. it is much more necessary
to get together TO act effectively.
This sentiment was voiced on all sides.

Offered Everything

Business Agent Herges said: 1T
will be time well spent. if an effort is
made now. My motto in this matter is
anything for harmony, and with this
in mind l have told the Davenport peo-
pie. that they can have everything they
want of the TRICKY Labor congress if
they will consolidate | offered. on be
half of the congress, every Office in
our gift, and told them We will be will
ing to have every meeting held in Day-
export. if desired"
In his general report, Mr.. Herges
said that the efforts to secure a union
bakery have been successful, and the
label now appears on the bread made
al the Barth bakery. He reported
that there is a prospect of line of
union collars and cuffs in Rock Island
soon. The union bartenders are to af-
filiate at the next meeting. He re-
ported that the special machinists of
the arsenal are organizing, and have AZ
names on the charter now. They will
affiliate with the congress.
Apathy Among Unions.
A truth that should make union men
think was stated by Mr.. Herges.
There is apathy in the general union
movement here he said. He explain
ed that il is difficult for many of the
unions to secure quorums at business
meetings, and said that he regretted to
report that some of the unions in Rock
Island and Moline refused to partici-
pate in Labor day celebration on ac-
count of feeling of distrust of Daven-
port. There is no reason why the
union movement should suffer in this
way" said Mr.. Herges.
The congress last evening received
and obligated delegates from the Tri-
City local union No. 3SS. of machinists
and of the Rock Island Regalia and
Badge Workers union. A delegate
from the Sherrard miners was in at
tendance, and the congress instructed
Business Agent Herges to arrange to
go to Sherrard and attend a meeting of
the miners union. his expenses to be
paid by the congress.
Last evenings meeting of the con-
greSS was we'll attended. and the dele
gates were enthusiastic, particularly
over the movement for consolidation
with Davenport.

Priest and Donkey.

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo. some 20 years ago, he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him. and few scored victory. On one occasion a young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scofang at religion and clergymen. Failing i2 this, he resorted to sheer impudence. saying: "I am informed that in Mada- gascar. whenever they hang a priest. they hang a donkey along with him."
 The young man laughed, and Mona. Farley. looking at him mildly. said: well. let us both be thankful, my young friend, that we are not in Madagaas- car"

From Pine Knots to Electric Lights.

Just eighty-threeyears ago this spring, the founder of the John Robinson show started out with his little overland caravan to battle with the swamp roads and elements on his journey for fame and fortune. The gasoline lamp had not then been heard of, and coal oil was expensive and hard to obtain, but the country in which he had chosen to cast his lot abounded in pine forests, and each day 8 quantity of the pitch knots were collected, and they formed the sole means of light ing the tent, but the native came and perhaps enjoyed the per fornance of the riders and clowns as much as he does to- day, when the advance of civili- zation makes 1t possible for the modern circus owner to carry his own private electric light plant. In fact, the John Robinson show of this season carries two com plete electric lighting plants of the most improved and modern type, and the menagerie and big tent present a pretty spectacle when the thousand or more lights in multi-colored globes are burning.

FEMiNiNELY ATTRACTIVE.
The Tea-Gown a Costume Whose Womanliness Is Especially Liked
 by the Masculine Folk.

That the tea gown has come into it's own again is cause for rejoicing to every member of the sex feminine. Not only has this informal style of garment al- ways been in favor with the gentler sex, but many man has been heard to de- clare that woman always looks her daintiest and most womanly best when clad in the graceful, trailing draperies of | smart tea gown.
 We may one and all of us unanimous ly VOW and declare that we dress for our own pleasure alone, that the criticism, favorable or otherwise, of other women affects us not in the least. But, deep down in our hearts, whether we ac- knowledge it to ourselves or not, cer- tain respect and liking for masculine ex- pressions of approval exists.
 The new tea gown, as it has come back to us, is quite different style or garment from those which preceded it. It is not longer than the old gown, but 1t is decidedly loosar, so loose, indeed, thatato the uninitiated just where the differen tiation between the tea gown and the negligee is to be made is some thing of a problem. The boundary line is vague, to be sure, but the woman who makes even the slightest pretension of keeping up with the vagaries of Mme. La Mode can tell without an instant's hesitation which is negligee and which Is tea gown.
 The characteristic and keynote of the new importations of tea gowns Is theway in which they cleverly conceal and yet reveal the fascinating curves of the fig ure For the new figure simply must have curves! The Parisienne. even in her most negligee moments. retains her corsets, and she prefers that some little hint. no matter how vague, be given as to the delicate proportions of her slen- der figure
 Hence 1t is that the tea gown Is now invariably constructed upon carefully boned and fitted lining. Sometimes the doublure Is en princesse, but far more often 1t is the usual corsage and skirt lining, cleverly joined together below the waistline.-Chicago Record Herald.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE.
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp. toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to
 human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton Is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first abbearanee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel Irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estirna- tion of strong men and women, yet they have serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prick1y Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1able value i'll restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars i'll doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to. the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally" eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the large figure iu red on the front labelA
