Next Conference Here. - The Con-
gregational state conference, now in
session in Chicago, decided yesterday
to meet in Moline next year. The de-
cis:on of the conference was due to
the strong claims put up for this city
by Rev. c. A. Lincoln of the First Con-
gregational church and Rev. r. s.
Haney of the Second Congregational
church, who are In attendance at the
state conference. The new constitu-
ton, which has been under considera-
ton at the Chicago conference, was
adopted. The new constitution pro-
vides for stronger central organization
of the congregations.
New Church and Rectory.-Father
Joseph VOTERS, new pastor Of st.
Mary's Catholic parish in East Moline.
has inaugurated his administration of
affairs in a vigorous manner. He has
already announced plans for extensive
improvements on the church property.
Plans have not only been prepared
but arrangements for their execution
have been made also and work of ex-
cayating preparatory to building new
parish house was started. Plans for
the parish house, which is to be built
on Thirteenth street just north of the
present church at cost of $4,000, have
been prepared by Architect w. H.
Wbitsitt. The general contract has
been awarded to c. w. Cline. The
erection of a handsome church edifice
at no very distant date is expected to
follow the building of the parish house.
Father Wolters has also decided to
open a parochial school in the fall,
provided sisters can be secured as
teachers. Three sisters will be neces-
sary and until permanent quarters can
be secured the plan is to lease quar-
tiers for them. The demand for sisters
is larger than the supply, however,
and it may be that the opening of the
parochial school viii have to be post
poned. If the school Is opened the
basement of the present church build
ing will be used and the first floor will
be used as a church auditorium. When
the new church is built the whole of
the present building will be given over
to school purposes.
Stabbing; Disappearance.-Leon De
Noble of 134 Sixth avenue is suffering
from painful knife wound in the
feshy part of his right leg. The
wound was caused by knife welded
by fellow countryman of De Noble
with whom he had quarreled. The man
who used the knife left the city Tues
day evening following the stabbing
and went to his home in Belgium.
