While running through the pig pen

Mr.. and Mrs. John Murphey of Achill-

beat off the vicious animal. While her
arm may be injured considerably it is
expected that she will recover.

For July Fourth.

Several card clubs are planning for
military euchre. Sets may be pur-
chased. and consist of large fagpoles
with holes in them to hold the little
flags. 1t is. however, quite impossible
TO make your own. In this case fort
may be made for each table with a
dish or a small bright tin pan filed
with sand. Each fort is named in
stead of the table being numbered, and
the tally cards have on them the
names of the forts, four or six bear
ing the same name. This, of course,
will depend upon whether the game
is four or six handed euchre-
The tally cards are drawn and when
the players find their forts they "cut"
to see which two or three shall hold
the fort Then 1t does not matter
who wins, the two or three drawing
the lot to progress must go on until
they again reach their own fort, when
they are permitted to hold it and the
original holders progress.
The winners of each game at each
table are given a small flag which
| they carry back and plant on their own
| fort. When the games are finished

so four or six prizes must be pro-
vided- one for each player at that
particular fort. The military colors

AT THE Y. M. C. A.

Notices have been conspicuously
posted at the Y. NJ. C. A. to the eff
feet that boys, whether members of
the association or not, are not per-
mitted in the building at night, ex-
cept as they may come to attend reg
ular classes of which they are menu
bers. This rule is a most important
one, and one that will be enforced just
as strictly as possible. Parents should
bear in mind when their boys make
an excuse Of the association for going
down town at night, that unless a boy
is a member Of class which meets
that night, or has some special bust
ness which will take him to the build
ing. he will not be permitted to stay
there. The association leaders believe
that a boys place is at home in the
evening, and they propose TO do what
they can to help the parents keep
them there.
Four most attractive courses are Of
fered in evening study by the associa-
ton this season. These classes will
begin work next week, and enroll
ments are being received now. The
class in English for foreign speaking
men promises to be a popular one. A
number OF young men have already
announced their desire to learn to
speak English. A. B. Swanson, mem
Der of the junior class at Augustana
college, has been secured to take
charge of this class, which will have
it's first meeting next Monday night.
Another Augustana man has been
engaged to teach the business prepar
atory course for boys. He is z. c.

Witness Not on Hand at Turner Hall
This Morning When Charges.
Are Set for Hearing.

Charges of keeping their places
open on Sunday contrary to state
law preferred against ia saloon
keepers in Rock Island, Moline, East
Moline, Silvis and WATERFOWL, by
Mrs. Bessie Burns, Chicago investi-
gator, were dismissed by Justice G..
P. Nlssen this morning, because no
attorneys or witnesses appeared for
the prosecution. The cases were
dismissed upon motion of J. L. Haas,
representing the defendants.
In the warrants issued by Justice
Nissen against the saloonkeepers,
Sunday, Aug. 20, was the date of
the alleged violations. Sept. II was
the time originally set for a hearing
on the warrants, but a continuance
was granted to this morning, and
Turner hall designated as the place,
IN order that there might be ample
room to accommodate the saloon
keepers, witnesses and interested
spectators.
Prepared to Fight.
Justice Nissen waited at the hall
this morning from to 10, and when
neither Mrs. Burns nor her sympa-
thizers put in an appearance, the
proceedings were dropped. Who
Mrs. Burns represented has never
been brought out. 1t is understood
that saloon interests were prepared
to put up a defense and that they
were to demand a trial by jury of
each separate complaint.
