MOLINE

Pastor Declines Call Rev. II. o.
Lindeblad, former pastor of the Swed-
ish Lutheran church of this city, has
announced that he declines the call
extended by the mission board of the
| Illinois conference of Augustana synod
| to become pastor of the proposed mis-
sion church to be established on the
| bluff in this city DR.. Lindeblad bases
his decision to decline the call on the
opinion that the charge of two mis-
sion fields more or less widely separa-
ted would entail more work than it is
possible for one to handle with any
measure of success. 1t was the plan
that he should have charge of both the
new south mission and Emanuel Luth-
eran church in Walker Station. Dr.
Lindeblad will continue to reside at
L. Grange.
Factories Oppose New Name.-Seven
names have been suggested as applica-
BILE to the city now known as East Mo
line. but it seems more and more i'm
probable as time goes on that any
lchange will be made. The name of
,Watertown is suggested in the event
iof the annexation of that village to
East Moline matter which is now
lpending. The opposition of the fac
tory interests of the city will probably
kill the project of securing a more
distinctive name for East Moline. n.
A. Larson, president of the East Mo
line Sash and Door works, appeared
before the directors of the business
> men Tuesday evening and spoke
against a change of name. remarking
on the harm it would do to his COM
lpany's business. While none of the
other manufacturers have been formal
ly heard from, it is understood that
they maintain the same position.

the Moline Business Mems association

KING DRAMATIC co.
IN HIGH CLASS DRAMA

Fort Pierce and surrounding territory
have an opportunity of hearing one of
the best known actors now touring the
country, the person of Mr. Charles
King, with his troupe of first class ar
fists. They will play for three nights,
commencing last night. Tonight Fri
day. they will present that thrilling
drama, Southern Romance, and to-
morrow night will present the play that
made "Joe" jefferson famous the
world over, Grip Van Wrinkle" Mr..
King stands next to the immortal jeff
erson in the production of this famous
play, and our people will be given a
treat that seldom is offered to commun-
tiles of this size.
The King Dramatic Company made
their first appearance in Fort Pierce
last night, presenting ''The Shadow"
a play the pot of which alternates be-
tween the homes of wealth and luxury
and the haunts of the degraded poor, as
depicted in the heart of great city,
The characters being so varied in type,
offered just the proper opportunity for
this excellent company to render a
performance second to none ever wit
messed in our town. That the audience
was thoroughly entertained was evil
denced by the frequent and hearty APP
plause.
But while comedy pervaded the en-
tire production, both in its lines and
characters were portrayed many of the
deeper emotions of life. Neither was
romance lacking. The shadow. about
which character the entire plot was
centered, graphically pictured the
double life of saintlness and hypocrisy,
and with his final discovery and tragic
death, develops a moral of unusual
force. Mr.. Charles King in this very
difficult role showed himself the veteran
actor that he is by moving his audience
to sympathy or disgust as hc' willed

RADICAL STEPS
TO BE TAKEN
In Fight by the Temperance
People of Florida
STATE LEAGUE AT WORK
Effort to be Made to Stop the Shipping
OF Liquor into Dry Counties Or
ganizing Anti-SaioOn League.

The Florida Anti-Saloon League is at
work endeavoring to secure the passage
of a bill at the next legislature that
will prevent the shipping of intoxicating
liquors into dry counties.
This measure promises to be one that
will attract much attention during the
coming session of the Legislature, and
the fight promises to be most excit-
ing one.
The league has appointed special
committee to look after the matter,
with Rev. W. Il. Lambert as chairman.
G. W. Young, the assistant general
superintendent Of the Anti-SaloOn
League of America, has issued a public
notice to the temperance people of
Florida, which among other things says:
"On Thursday night, March 7th, at
Starke, committee met with the as :
sstant general superintendent, and
made a provisional organization, pend
ing the meeting of the different church
bodies in the State, when they will be
asked to name representatives on Il
State board of trustees, which will rep
resent the churches of Florida in this
important work.
REV. w. X. Lambert was appointed
superintendent, pending the appoint
ment by the churches of their members
of the State board, when permanent or
ganzatiOn will be effected. Brother
Lambert was instructed to open an Of
flee in Jacksonville as soon as possible,
and in conference with such members
of the committee as he can see, to Sc
lect at least five members of Il head
quarters committee who will in an adj
visory capacity assist him in carrying
out the purposes of the league. 1t is
highly important that immediate steps
be tax en- looking to the passage of an
anti.shipping bill, to prevent common
carriers from delivering intoxicating
liquors in dry territories in Florida.
This is to ask pastors and all tenn
pcrance people to see their representa-
tives and Senators at once, and urge
them to work and vote for this measure.
1.-THE address Of Bro. Lambert will
be for the present at Tallahassee, Fla,
where he hopes you will write him, tell
ing how your representatives stand on
this shipping bill. and giving him any
other information you think he ought
to have to assist him in doing this great
work. 1t is necessary that pastors open
their pulpit to this cause, and in every
way to help to create moral sentiment
in the State that will no longer tolerate
the liquor traffic within her borders. .

has recently completed survey of the
county, and at this meeting his COM
plete report, accompanied by map of
the county, showing the location of
every road in the county, was pre-
scented. Mr. Fries report was most
elaborate, making recommendations as
to the widths of the various roads,
available materials along the routes
and estimates of the cost of construc-
ton. 1t is Mr.. Fries estimate that a
good rock road can be built the length
of the county, one from Fort Pierce to
Fort Drum and Tantie, one from Jensen
to Rio, White City to river road, Rose
land to railway station, Quay to Klon-
dyke and Wabasso to river for the sum
of $3.50, OOO and recommends bonding to
secure the money.
At this point some discussion was in
dulged in by various persons, some
favoring an acreage tax, while another
favored abandoning the entire subject
until after the proposed McWillams
bill had been tried by the state.
The proposed special law authorizing
the county of st. Lucie to issue bonds
was presented. by the committees
chairman, +. l.. Hemmings, and was
read in total, and afterwards read by
sections, amended and adopted. This
proposed law. if passed by the coming
legislature, will authorize the county
commissioners to call an election to vote
upon the proposition to bond the county
for sum sufficient to complete system
of good roads (the exact amount being
specified in the calD, and If ma Ority
should favor same to proceed to issue
bonds and specify the roads to be hard
surfaced 1t also provided for the cleo
ton of u board of bond trustees, one to
be elected from each school district
The bill is very complete, providing for
all things necessary for the proper pro-
lection of the people as well as the pur-
chasers Of the bonds, and the same will
be of such denominations as will permit
our home people to invest in them.
After the adoption of the bill in total
the meeting adjourned to meet again
on April g. in Fort Pierce. when it is
hoped that every section of the county
will be represented, that the matter
may be ready to go before the legisla-
ture which will then be in session.
