Al MIssoURIAN WHO HAS BEEN SHOWN
Hon. w. I. Nolan Of Minneapolis
appeared before = fair sized udience
last Saturday and Monday evenings
in his lectures that might well be
entitled, Funny Folks. Mr.. Nolan
is y humorist Of :he choicest variety
and one that leaves . lastingim-
preston with an audience. Many
who had the pleasure Of hearing him
Saturday had seats for the Monday
lecture and no one was sdisap ppoint

Because lecturer terms himself a
humorist, it does not necessarily fol
low that he is really funny; with Mr..
Nolan, however, his humor is funny.
He started his lecture by antedating
six hundred million years and made
rapid strides in the short two hours
to the present day and in that long
course of travel no one became tired
Mr.. Nolan. should he return here
should be greeted by much larger
audience than the first visit and we
feel sure that no one will regret the
price paid. In this connection IL
might be we'll to say Of the entire
lecture course that il is Of the very
highest variety and those who miss
| it will certuinly miss the highest
lclass attractions that-Scome to the
city this year.

HAVE A FESTIVAL
May Observance of Tri. City So.
cialists at Davenport
Last Night.
A. R. SIMONs THE SPEAKER
Chicago Man Sees Good to Come of
Present Struggle Between
Glasses.

The May day festival of the social
lists of the tri-cities took place last
evening at Claus Groth hall. Daven-
port
A literary and musical program was
rendered and the address of the even
ing was delivered by a. r. Simons. of
Chicago, who spoke of the principles
and pledges of the sOcialistic party
and reviewed the industrial condi-
tons of the country, both in the past
and the present. Mr.. Simons is the
founder of the Workers Call" and at
president editor of the International
Socialistic Review. For time he was
connected with, the various Chicago
dailies and secured his early training
and first ideas of socialism while re-
porting upon a paper.
World Grows.
The substance of the speakers re-
marks was that the idea of the world"
grows constantly larged. In ancient
times the world was known as a mar
row strip around the Mediterranean.
1t has been widened by discoveries.
but is still unconnected with the com
ing of capitalism. steam transportation
and electric communication, the world
becomes really the globe.
Then came the struggle for the con-
troll of this world and its markets. This
is now practically completed and the
capitalists rule the world
In the meantime it has solved the
problem of wealth and production. but
has separated the worker from tools
and the product. Now the struggle is
between capital and labor for the pos
session of these tools and products.
This is the last great world struggle
because a victory of the workers means
an end of the rulers and the ruled.
Enough for All.
The speaker laid particular empha
sis upon the assertion that today the
worlds supply was large enough to
meet all demands but that it was the
distribution of this supply which caus-
ed hunger, poverty and famine. Like
wealth, the products are controlled by
a few and the masses are made TO suf-
fer by reason of this monopoly.

MAY CONTINUE BUSINESS
CralIe & Co. Considering Laying in a
New Livery Stock.

There is a possibility that l.. F.
Cralle & Co. will not discontinue the
livery business that the firm conducts
in this city. Some time ago. it will be
recalled, the stock of their establish
ments in Rock Island and Moline was
disposed of for a farm at Alpena, s..
d. Though the stock has been taken
away by the new owner Cralle & Co.
are still conducting a boarding stable
at the old stand in the Tindall barn on
Third avenue and it is not unlikely
that it will later be decided to put in
a complete new stock and continue in
the business as of yore. The lease on
the building does not expire for some
months and it may be renewed. The
Moline branch, however, will not be
continued.

There is a Difference.

The difference between Kennedy's Lax
alive Honey and Tar and all other
cough syrups is that it moves the
bowels, thus expelling a cold from the
'ystem. This relaxes the nerve-tissues
and by its healing and soothing effect
m the throat and lungs the cough is
entirely. Kennedy's
the original laxative honey and tar
1t contains no opiates. Good alike for
young and old. Sold by all druggists.
