Stoesse1 Says Further Resistance
Would Have Been Useless

Ex-Viceroy Alexieff, the Cars per-
sonal friend and chief adviser, is to be
made the ~scapegoat of Port Arthur. 10
him is laid all the blame for the capitu-
lation of the fortress. Charges Of gross
negligence, incompetency and inability to
foresee events are made against Alexieff
by many of the officers who are accom-
panying Gen. Stoessel back to st. Peters
burg. Although Gen. Stoessel himself
will say nothing in reference to Alexieff
his officers are not so guarded in their
conversation.
They charge that he had foreseen moth
ing and prepared nothing. 1t was nee
essary, they say, to reconstruct the great

The services were conducted by Rev.

comforting address. He told of Mr..
Kerr's public life, as an alderman, as
superintendent of the city waterworkS,

WORTH AN EFFORT
The Securing of the 1907 Ma
tional Woodmen Head
Camp.
COULD BE BROUGHT HERE
Every Advantage Belongs to Cities
of Rock Island and
Moline.

Why not Rock Island, either in its
own behalf or jointly with Moline, en-
deavor to secure the 1907 head camp
of the Modern Woodmen of America?
At the coming biennial session at
Milwaukee cities with less claim to the
honor than Rock Island viii bid for it
With the prospective construction of a
new convention hall in this city, to-
gether with the incidental advantages
of modern theatres in both cities-one
completed in Rock Island a few years
ago and one to be provided in Moline
within the coming year-with superior
hotel accommodations in both cities
there is little lacking in the matter of
facilities for the proper entertainment
of so great and distinguished a gath
ering
4 Particular Attraction
But apart from the exceptional op-
portunities for the care and entertain
ment of national conventions of any
kind there is one thing about Rock
Island in particular that should appeal
10 the Modern Woodmen, and that is
the fact that the head Office of the
order is located here. 1t is a safe pre-
sumption that there is not a WOOdman
in the country who might be elected
a delegate to the national head camp,
who if he has not already been here.
would not prize. as scarcely second TO
the honor of being sent to such gath
ering the opportunity to visit the head
office of the order he loves.
Effort VIII Bring IL.
Why not then go after the next head
camp of the Modern Woodmen of
America? 1t will require some effort,
some guarantee in the matter of funds
and the sending of a strong delegation
TO Milwaukee 70 work for the inter
ests of the city. Rock Island has gone
before several national head camps OF
the Modern Woodmen of America in
years past in the interests of a really
more important project. affecting the
welfare of the order, that of securing
the permanent location in this city of
the head office of the great order, and
has invariably come out victorious.
This city in a word. knows the ropes
of the Woodmen head camp, and If the
disposition TO seek the head camp two
years hence is ripened into deter
mination and rightly supported, it can
be accomplished.

Left His Home and Wandered 70
Miles While Temporarily
Insane.

Alexander c. Cook, a young man liv-
ing with his parents Mr.. and Mrs.
Archie Cook at Presumption was the
cause of much excitement in that vii
lage on Saturday and Sunday
Mr. Cook whose actions have been
peculiar for several days left his home
in the village on Saturday morning
about 10 o'clock, telling his parents
that he was going TO the farm of Rob
ert Blakely in the neighborhood of the
village. AS he had been in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Blakely for some time the
incident passed without comment but
when inquiry developed the fact that
he was not at that place at o'clock
in the evening and had not been there
all day his parents became alarmed
and a search was instituted. The
Rock Island police were called upon
to aid.
Seen Near Camp Grounds.
No trace of the missing man could
be found although it was reported that
he had been seen in the neighborhood
Of the campmeeting grounds. About !
o'clock Sunday evening when his par
ents were in despair and word had
been dispatched to every neighboring
town to be on the lookout for his ap
pearance, he suddenly reappeared a:
his parents home in good condition
and apparently in sound mind but re
fused TO vOuchsafe any explanation for
the incident 1t is the opinion of those
familiar with the case that his action
was due to a temporary fit of insanity.
