WILL COOPERATE
Three Cities to Work Together
With Reference to
Arsenal.
TWO MEETINGS ARE HELD
Rock Island Club and Merchants Here
and Mayors Across the "a
River.


At l the joint conference of
members of the Rock Island
Club and the Retail Merchants
association last evening at the Rock
Island club rooms, the general senti-
ment was that the citizens of Rock Isl
and should know where the Rock ISL
and arsenal matter stands, before TAX
ing any action looking to the correc-
ton of supposed evils. To this end a
committee composed of Frank Mixter
and |. S. White was appointed TO have
conference with Col. S. z. Blunt. the
arsenal commandant. and learn from
him if 1t is advisable for the citizens tS
take any action, and what action will
be most effective. The committee is
expected to confer with Col Blunt to-
day. and a complete report of the com
mittee will be made public. The COM
mittee will also report TO another
joint meeting. and if there is any eff
fective action that can be taken it will
be given immediate attention.
Discuss All Phases.
The arsenal was discussed from ev-
cry point that might bear On the pres
ent situation. but those present decided
that it would be useless to take any ac-
ton until they were better informed on
the details of the working system of
the ordnance department All are
aware that Col. Blunt is enthusiastic
over the Rock Island arsenal. and be-
ieves in operating it to the fullest eX-
tent For this reason the club and
merchants association would have his
cooperation in its endeavor.
Mayors Meet.
Looking toward the same end, con-
ference of the executives of the three
cities was held last evening at the of
flee of Mayor Harry Phillips. of Daven-
port. Mayor George W. McCaskrin, of
Rock Island and Mayor Andrew Olson.
of Moline, were present. After discuss
ing the situation and the need of I'M
mediate action. it was decided by the
mayors 10 bring this matter before the
councils of each city within a week.
and to have a committee of nine citi-
zens appointed by the councils, husi-
ness men and merchants, from each
city. making a joint committee of 50
men. including the three executives.
This committee when appointed, will
meet and decide on the method of pro
cedure. That there is need of immedi-
ate action was fully appreciated by the
executives. and in order 70 get the com
mittee at work at once it was decided
to take the matter up with the coun-
ellis within a week. The conference
held last evening was brought about
by the action of Mayor McCaskrin. The
plan adopted by the conference Will
undoubtedly meet with the approval OF
the aldermen of the three cities.

The Henderson County

a special from StrunghuTst. Hender-
son county, has the Following: The
republican central committee of Hen
dersOn county has called the cOnven-
ton to select delegates to attend the
Congressional convention and to name
a candidate for county commissioner
The convention will meet at Biggsville
Tuesday, Aug Is. Hon. J. o. Ander-
son, United States revenue collector
and who has served eight years in the
lower house at Springfield from this
county, who was in the city today,
said: THE situation is very complex
it looks now as though James McKin-
ney or c. V. Chandler had the best
chance Of winning. There is a strong
probability that Ben Gable of Rock
Island will be named by the democrats
1t is very likely that he will come very
near carrying the district, for he car
ried it once before for congress by bet
ter than LOO. OF course, the district
is not the same as it was then II is
said that if Mckinney is nominated.
McCaskrin will come out as an inde-
pendent candidate
Mr.. Anderson said that he was not
a candidate. This county really owes
her support to either Warren or Nc
Donough counties, for last year they,
with Hancock stood by J. Y White
man. of this county, and virtually nom
mated him as candidate for member
of the state board of equalization from
the Fourteenth district. Just how

tain But he is said 10 be casting his

MUCH BITTERNESS SHOWN
The Outlook Down the District Is
Unehanaed-Complimentto to
Mr.. Cable.

iomorfow will occur the actual pre-
llminaries looking to the republican
county convention in the congressiona al
night for the control of Rock Island
county. The primaries in Rock Island
VIII be held from 1 until in the af-
ternoon, the places of holding the same
in the several wards being as follows
First ward, Pratt's barber shop. 4O1
Fourth avenue; second ward. City
Barn, Sixth avenue between Ninth and
Tenth streets; Third ward. County jail
| building; Fourth ward. Frick's livery
| barn, Third avenue between Nineteenth
and Twentieth street: Fifth ward. hose
house, on Twenty-second street; Sixth
ward, Hose house on Twenty-sixth
street; Seventh ward, Augustana Book
Concern building, Seventh avenue and
| Thirty-eighth street.
The indications as heretofore stated
point to one of the bitterest fights
within the republican party ever held
in Rock Island. Shades of the sensa-
tional Lowden-Yates struggle in the
county of a year ago still hover over
the party, the most conspicuous fig
ures in the battle being again in the
forefront lineup on the respective
sides.
Says Ii Goes Down the District.
A Springfield dispatch confirms what
has been said heretofore of the present
prospect of the nomination going to
the lower end of the district after the
local walfare has cleared away The
| Dispatch reads: The campaign among
the republicans of the Fourteenth
congressional district for the seat made
vacant by the death of Congressman
Marsh, is waging furiOusly. Primaries
will be held in Friday, county conven-
| tions next Tuesday. and the congress
siOnal convention Aug "a, at Bushnell.
| The primaries are 10 be under the new
primary law. AS the vacancy occurred
before the primary law became effect
| i've, it is generally understood that the
| office is not to be filled under the pro-
visions of the new law. which empOw-
ers the congressional committee TO fill
such vacancy. To guard against pos
sible error however 1t has been agreed
| by the members of the congressional
committee to meet Immediately after
the Bushnell convention and indOrse
the choice of the convention. There
are seven candidates. but the leaders in
the district believe the fight lies be

How Purple Was First Discovered.

Way back In the time of King Solomon
purple was the color of monarchs-royal
purple it was called then, as 1t is now.
The Roman emperors forbade the wearing
OF this color by any under the rank Of
prince.
The discovery Of purple was achieved by
a very humble boy. fisherman named
Alonzo. His master, also a fisherman, left
him In the boat telling him to watch the
nets. While Alonzo did this he also did
something else his master one day dis
covered. He marked pieces of linen with
letters and designs A ring which he had
found one day upon the shore served as
stamp for these designs. but what attracted
the attention of Alonzo's master was that
they were made In a color not then known
the color purple.
The master inquired how this color had
been obtained.
Alonxo could not explain any better than
by showing how 1t was done. He dropped
the ring into the shiny matter of shell
fish. The mantle OF this creature had
been torn In some way and the Shiny mat
ter was oozing from IT, This made marks
on the linen which when dried by the sun

The Ambitious Bov.

A bright-eyed little chap, who was grow
ing up on farm. went to school at the dis
trlct schoolhouse nearly a mile from home
III warm weather he went barefooted in
winter ne waded through snow or mud In
cowhide boots. When he came home from
school he had wood to carry. chickens to
ieed, eggs to hunt. water to carry and
plenty OF other chores to keep him busy.
BY tho time supper was ready he was
hungry enough to eat and relish any kind
OF food on the table And sleep3 Why, he
did not know what 1t meant to wake I'D
once all night Perhaps he never knew how
sweet and refreshing his sleep was-at least
not until he grew much older.
When the chap became young man his
father wanted to give him the farm and so
keep him at home. The young man decided
that he would rather teach school and so
he did.
Within two or three years he decided that
he would rather be a lawyer than a teach
er, 80 he began the study of law. In the
proper time he became a lawyer and he
had to work very hard. Often when he
went to bed his brain was so weary that he
could not sleep. He lived In the great city,
where the air was impure and smoky. He
fell into the habit OF eating so fast that his
food was Of but little use to him and did
not taste good. At this his stomach rebel
led. and after awhile there were only few
kinds of food that he could eat at all
Next the man was ambitious to 60 to
Congress. so he became a politician He
had been 50 successful as a lawyer that his
friends told him he could be elected to
Congress. He believed them and said he
would run. By this time the man had a
lovely wife and two very interesting chill
dren. But he was away from his home so
much that he found but little chance to en-
Joy their company. He was elected, and
everyone said "Hurrah for the Honorable
John Jones!' But the more the man saw of
politics the less he saw Of his home
When he left Congress he was invited to
engage in a large business, which required
as much of his time politics did. He
really had to work harder and eat faster
what little he could eat-and sleep less
what little a man so driven by his business
could sleep.
At last, before he was fifty, the man was
played out. He was like big vessel that
had found nothing but rough sailing ever
since the day she was launched. His nerves
were shattered, his stomach was no longer
the good friend 1t once was. he began to
have aches and pains In all his joints.
The man was very unhappy and his fam
lily was very unhappy. Then he thought of
the days when he was a boy-strong and
we'll and free from care So he left the
great roaring city and found quiet place
In the country where the air was pure and
the nights were quiet, and the work of car
ing for chickens and cows and garden was
not the kind that destroyed his appetite
and made him toss sleepless on his bed at
night.
SO the man came gladly back to the work
he had to do when he was boy. Many 9TH
ers have gladly done the same way, and
they all say that health is better than
wealth.

Home of Thunder.
An Indian Legend.

Many Indians believe that thunder is
| caused by the actions of a huge bird which
they have named the Thunder Bird. When
he is angry his great eyes fash and the
lightning we see is the result. The sound
we call thunder is caused by the Tapping
OF the wings of the bird
The PassamaQuoddies believe that the
spirit of children of Katahdin are Thunder
and Lightning. In defense of this belief
they tell this story:
An Indian, great and powerful, had been
seeking game for weeks without any sue
cess. One winter day he the foot
prints of some creature, the first he had
seen for many weeks. Looking closer, he
discovered that the footprints were made
by snoEsnoes, though no human had ever
been known to have passed through this
country before. Next morning the tracks
still appeared. though in different places.
greatly adding to the wonder of the Indian
hunter. He searched many days for the
object that was making these tracks. but
without success. One day, when he had
about given up hope. he was able to follow
these tracks to a precipice on the other
side of the mountains. He was lost in
wonder when his football aroused maiden
who stood beside him. He was awed by
her beauty, which was greater than any he
had before gaZed upon. Her voice was low
and sweet, and the warrior could scarcely
babe him go with her. He approached the
rock with fear, for he expected every min
ute that the lovely vision would fade away.
The maiden, seeing his hesitancy, touched
his arm, when he became mist. and in this
form entered a great cave in the heart OF
katahdin. There sat the god of the noun
tain. He welcomed the maiden and eagerly
inquired If her brothers were coming.
Il hear them coming now" she replied.
With a binding flash and deafening
of thunder, two men, giants in stature,
of beautiful faces and with cheeks and
brows of stone, stepped into the cave.
These said the girl to the hunter ''are
my brothers, Thunder and Lightning. Our
Father sends them forth whenever there Is
a wrong to redress, that those who love us
may not be smitten. Whenever you hear
thunder In the future you will know that
by brothers are shooting our enemies"
The stone-faced sons of the mountain
adopted the hunter. After roaming seven
years with Thunder and Lightning, at the
end, while a fierce storm ragged, he was al
lowed to fall unframed in his own village.
When he had told his experiences to his
surprised people he was chosen as chief
because he was the only one among them
that had come face to face with Thunder
and Lightning. the stone-faced sons OF Ka-
tahdin
