Tri-City Luther League. At a
meeting of the Tri-City Luther league
at the Swedish Lutheran church Mon
day evening, it was decided to adopt
an interchange of talent so that at ev-
cry meeting each society in the league
would contribute a part of the pro-
gram. Heretofore, the society under
whose auspices the meeting was held
has furnished the complete program.
The matter has been under considera-
ton for some time, and il was finally
decided that the meetings would be
much more interesting and at the
same time a great deal less bother if
all the societies help with the program.
Finds Cost of Schools. - Secretary
r. w. Entrikin of the board of educa-
ton has prepared some interesting ia
bles giving account of the expense of
running the pubic schools. Since the
beginning of the past fiscal year, which
was started July, 1905, K has cost Mo
line almost $4,000 to operate her pub
lie school institutions. To be exact,
the total expense account figures up to
S69, 34G.3S. OF course this includes ev-
erything in the line of expense and so
far the Lincoln school has been the
most expensive. However, its ex-
pense account for improvements and
repairs ran up alone to s9,760.3S. the
greater part of which was expended
on the installation of new and COM
plete heating system. The total eX-
pense for that school was $15,553.S4.
The high school is next in line with
expense figures placed at s1O,341.O7.

Discovers Sad Case. - Health Off
Ger Ed Jones has discovered bad
state of affairs at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gus Nelson at 1926 Third street.
In fact. according TO him it is the worst
case that he has come in contact with
since his connection with the health
department of Moline. He states that
Mrs. Nelson is a fit subject for the in
sane asylum. being in weak and de-
mented state. while it appears her hus-
band is neglecting his family in many
ways A neighbor says that one night
last week he came home intoxicated
and threw his whole family into the
street. The house is in a filthy con-
dition as can be imagined, while the
children are poorly clad and appear as
though they very seldom wash.
Forty Out for Inspection. - The an
nual inspection of Company F, Illinois
National guard, was conducted Mon
day evening at the armory, by Capt.
Alexander j. McNabb, of the 22d infan-
try, stationed at Fort Sheridan. He
was assisted by Col. Ed Kittilsen and
other officers of the state militia.

Prepare to Entertain Militia. Prep
arations are under way for the enter
tanning of great number of delegates
to the annual convention of the Illi-
nois National Guard and Naval Militia
June Ia in this city. This will be one
of the conventions to be held in this
city the coming summer and it will be
an important one. There are 600
in the roster and in all probable
ity nearly all of that number will at
tend. 1t will give many an opportunity
TO visit the Rock Island arsenal, some
thing which they have probably never
before experienced. The program for
the entertainment of the guests is be-
ing prepared and will probably be
ready for publication within a short
time.
