Union Mission a Church ?--The stat
, us Of three saloons Immediately in
.Volved and one others future position
rests in the determining of the Peo-
pies Union Mission case which was
given an airing in the district court
yesterday before Judge Barker who is
presiding in this one instance. After
the entire morning had been devoted
TO the submission of testimony bearing
upon the establishment of maintenance
and the purpose of the institution con-
cerned, the judge took the question
under advisement. While it is almost
clearly obvious that the mission build
Ing cannot be strictly interpreted as
church building, the question upon
which the test is now to be based is
whether or not the contributors to the
mission gather at the building for one
purpose, that of meeting with one
point in mind. In the event OF this
deciding question being so held. the
building must necessarily be held as a
place of worship. But on the other
hand II the building is held to be main
tanned strictly as a place for the gen.
eral uplifting and benefiting of those
over whom it eXertS an influence,
then it must be interpreted as being
another sort Of building, or a mission

Sheep Men Are Heavy Losers
John A. Swanson. local recorder for
Moline Observatory, No. 1, North Star
Benefit association, is entertaining his
brother, C. E. Swanson of Morrell,
Neb., who dropped in for a stay of a
few days after having accompanied
several carloads of stock to the Omaha
market. Mr.. Swanson says the present
severe winter will cause heavy losses
to the sheepmen. Many thousands of
sheep are loose and dying in the heavy
SHOWS, which range in depth from 15
inches on the level to four and five
feet in drifts. The sheep which are
loose are without chance of securing
food, and the stockmen are resorting
to extreme measures to dispose of all
they can round up. sheep selling as
low as so cents a head. Stockmen n

about Nov 20. February is the Gus

smoke yesterday, frightening members
of the family, who sounded an alarm
of fire. The central department re-
sponded, but could find no blaze. This
is the first call the firemen have an
swered since the bobsled equipment
was placed in service. The sleds are
not hard to pull and the horses made
good time. Firemen at the central
station spent Friday building a bob
sled box large enough to accommodate
the ladders. The task was completed
and now all of Moline's fire fighting
apparatus is mounted on bobsleds. The
fire laddies built a box that will last
for years.

BLAZING TRAIL
FOR 1910 TOUR

Manufacturers OF automobiles who
propose putting machines in the 1910
Glidden tour have begun to display an
unusual amount of interest in highways
in the southern states. Not since the
old days, when armies were moved ex-
peditiously through the mud and over
pike roads, has there been such an
intelligent effort to obtain informa-
ton.
That there will be even more diffi-
culries than were encountered in the
Wisconsin Alleghenies" during the
1909 Glidden tour, is the opinion of men
who have driven automobiles over a
portion of the probable official A. A. A.
reliability route. Not little valuable
road information, logging data, and
geographical notes collected by the
Mitchell Ranger expedition or its siren
uous scouting trip over the proposed
course of the big reliability contest. has
been gratuitously distributed among
manufacturers by the Mitchell Lewis
Motor company Of Racine, Immediately
following the receipt of the field notes
OF Driver Zirbies who is piloting
the Mitchell Ranger car over the long
route, with view OF terminating the
expedition in Chicago early in April.
The scouts are now on the last half
Of the journey having passed Dallas,
Texas, the turning point, during the
past week. 1t should be easy sailing
from now on and Zirbies is stilI conf
dent that he will reach Chicago, accord
ing to schedule. the first week in April.

Tn getting across the Mississippi and
White river bottoms we had to take re-
course to the old levee roads, which had
been eroded by floods and rains and
often were as rough as Idaho canyons.

The army blouse of an Italian liberator
was modified to make a garment for
women's wear. Expresses and ac-.
tresses stamp their individuality on a
style Of skirt or OF hairdressing.
But is a poet to lead them all as
an originator of fashions? The OUT
burst OF "ChanteIcler'' hats, wraps,
toques. etc. is one of the singular con-
sequences of the wide interest in The
Rostand barnyard drama. There are
"Chantecler'' hats ornamented with
black roosters bearing red combs.
"Chantecler" opera cIoaks, stockings,
buttons, buckles and what not. There
are "Chantecler" clocks and napkin
