PUSH MORAL LAW,
DEAN QUINN URGES
Pastor of St. JOseph's Calls Upon
People to Assist in Work in
the City.

Dean ]. J. Quinn, in his morning SER
mon yesterday at st. Joseph's church,
touched upon the unchecked reign of
lawlessness in Rock Island during the
past year, and importuned the people
of his congregation to contribute their
share of effort towards the moral
cleansing of the community. Since
suppression had not come from the
sources the public looked to for pro
lection of their families and their
homes and their city, therefore it be-
came incumbent upon the fathers and
the brothers to assert themselves in
the name of Christianity and decency.
No Christian man could stand on mid
die ground in such a crisis. He must
either be for the right and fight for
it or be counted with the lawless. It
was a, good time for the lawabiding
people to join forces and free the fair
name of Rock Island of the blot that

THREE COURTS BUSY
ON CRIMINAL CASES
Grand Jury on Adjournment to Per-
init States Attorney to Take
Up Trials.

States Attorney L. NJ. Magill ex-
poets to take up the trial OF criminal
cases in three different courts next
Monday, and the prospects are that the
Office will have its hands full. Because
of this the grand jury has taken an ad-
journment until Oct. II. In the county
court it is expected that the cases of
the men and women arrested on charg-
es of keeping and being inmates of
houses of i'll fame will come up for
trial, while the regular run Of criminal
business will be started in the circuit
court. In the branch court the hear
ings on the motions to quash the indict-
ments against the alleged wreckers of
the Fraternal Tribunes are to be held.
States Attorney Magill will probably
require another assistant in his Office
for time.

PAT GROVE HASA
WILD NIGHT HERE
Reformed Bandit Goes Down
Line in City and Comes Up
Slightly Disfigured.
SAYS IT'S SURELY HIS LAST
Nothing More Doing for Him-Going
to Bed at Last Accounts
Sunday Morning.

Pat Grove, reformed bandit and kid
naper and erstwhile evangelist, spent
a wild Saturday night in Rock Island
Pat did not hold up any street cars or
railroad trains or steal any children.
He has got past that. He just had a
free and easy time, with few unpleas-
ant jolts, and when at church-going
time he entered his hotel yesterday
morning he presented a somewhat de-
jected appearance with a dark puff un-
der his right eye.
Where are you going, Pat?" hailed
an old acquaintance from the opposite
side of the street. Come over here;
want to see you a moment
Sleepy After wild Night.
ooh, nothing doing; 1 got to go to
bed" replied Pat. 'I've had a wild
night and have got to sleep and forget
it."
And thus Pat vanished within the
portals of his hosteIry. Pat is not a
stranger in Rock Island. He has come
here frequently in the past few years,
and has been harmless and good-natur-
GU, although lulS Is not Cu0 uTSJ Tune
he has been treated discourteously
here. Saturday night he went down
the line, saw everything that was do
ing, and unfortunately met with little
unpleasantness that left its impression
upon his visage, growing out of a dis
cussion as to why Maine did not go
republican, or something Of that kind
Whether Pat called in upon a couple
of gambling houses that are quietly
resuming operations is not related.
To Preach Againg
At all events, according to his own
statement, he had a wild night. To
some one who conversed with him he
said that this was positively his fare
well engagement of this sort; that he
was going out into the vineyard again
to convert souls.
Mayhap he was gathering information
in Rock Island TO illuminate his illus
trations of horrible examples where the
lawless run the community.
