LOSE MINISTERS
Southern Illinois Methodist Con-
ference Alarmed Over
the Outlook.
CLERGY SEEK MORE MONEY
Salaries Lower Than Laborers' Wages
and often Are Not Fully
Paid.

A notable exodus of Methodist min
listers from the southern Illinois con-
ference is alarming the districts of
that part of the state. The condition
is attributed TO the meagre salaries
alleged to be paid To- ministers.
1t is said that a few years ago one
of the ministers was changed from one
town to another by the conference and
that when he left his charge he also
left an unpaid bill at one of the stores
in town. The officials of the church
were notified and a meeting of
these men was called at once. They
held up their hands in horror at the
disclosure and openly expressed their
wonder at what the church was com
ing to when the ministers proved their
dishonesty. The facts were that the
men in charge of the church had not
paid his salary, and even had he re-
ceived every cent of it, the amount was
exceedingly small and he could not
have paid the bill.
Fall to Pay All.
Another statement is that there were
G3 ministers in that conference who
did not receive the full amount of their
salaries last year. and that the total
shortage amounted to over S3,S49. In
almost every case the minister who
was not paid was one of those whose
salary was so small that he could bare
" exist even had every cent been paid.

Richard Yates to Meet Friends al
the Harper House
Monday.
GIVES ADDRESS IN MOLINE
Lines in Senatorship Not Clearly
Drawn-Former Governor Retains
Most of His Supporters.

Former Governor Yates will be greet
ed by his numerous Rock Island
friends and supporters Monday evening
at the Harper house, when general
reception will take place. In his CAM
paign for the United States senator
ship Richard Yates has arranged to
spend Monday and Tuesday in western
Illinois. He speaks at Toulon Monday
morning and arrives here in the even
ing over the Rock Island & Peoria.
Speaks in Moline.
Mr.. Yates takes his dinner here in
the evening and meets the public i'm
mediately afterward, remaining at the
Harper house until he leaves for Mo
line, which will be about s o'clock. He
was forced to give up his strenuous
campaign for few days and did not
speak yesterday, but there has been
no notice here that the date had been
cancelled.
The developments in the republican
party during the next few weeks can
be looked upon with a great deal of
amusement. The. bitter struggle of
two years ago is not forgotten and the
appearance of Richard Yates again in
this county as a candidate is serving
to stir up his opponents and to rally
his friends
Lines Not Drawn.
The lines are not yet clearly drawn.
Some who were avowed Cullom men
saw their endorsements for the post
Office ignored and while they have not
and probably will not take up the fight
of the opposition, they seem disposed
to leave it to Mr.. Mckinney and his
appointees to deliver the district to
Senator Cullom. Others are almost
ready to openly oppose the federal
forces in the form they have now talk
en-. and all the while the friends of
Yates are tireless in their efforts to
land him in the United States senate.
