DRUNKEN MAN HELD
UP BY ANOTHER ONE

An unknown man, who was very
much under the influence of intoxi-
eating brews, was held up on Market
square last night by another unknown
fellow not quite so drunk. A pedes-
trian saw the two fellows standing in
the square about o'clock and was
surprised to see one of them relieve
the other of his valuables. There was
no resistance on the part of the VIC
tim. He was too much under the in
fiuence. But as the pedestrian neared
the scene, the thief made his getaway.
leaving the drunkard to gaze with a
vacant stare at his empty pockets,
which had been turned inside out.
After he had done staring, he ambled
off In aimless fashion. No report was
made to the police.

KEY TO PSYCHIC
MANIFESTATIONS
Is the Law of Vibration, Says
N. N. Ridden at Methodist
Church Last Night.
ON SPIRITUAL PHENOMENA
How Man May Become In-Christed''
Subject TOnight-Deep In
terest in Lectures.

Tonight at the First Methodist
church Newton Riddell will speak
Upon a topic of deep interest to
Christian people, How Man May Be-
come In-Christed" He promises to
make plain the reason why certain
steps are insisted upon as necessary
to the one who would enter the spir-
itual kingdom; and how this as we'll
as all other phases of life is govern
ed by definite law. He will describe
the method of growing through grace
and outline a vision of what deciple-
ship really means considered in it's
highest sense.
Rev. +. T. MacFarland of the Me-
mortal Christian church was chair
man last evening and announced that
Il had been decided to have the lee
ture on Christ and Civic Problems
held over until Sunday afternoon. He
announced the subject of the even
ing, Psychic and Spiritual Phe-
nomena." People came earlier last
evening, the body of the house be-
ing filled by 1880, so Mr.. Riddell
asked that all doors and windows
| be thrown open and the audience
stand and sing for a few moments
before beginning the lecture. This
was done and all felt rested and bet
tel able to enjoy the unique message
they had come to hear.
EXPLAINS PSYCHIC LAWS.
In the lecture no effort was made
to merely entertain by the recital OF
much ghostly phenomena, but rather
to give something of real value by
explaining the laws underlying al
psychic manifestations and giving the
key by which the inquirer may un
iayel for himself all mysterious hap
pcnings and use this same key as al
aid to personal progress. This key
he called the law of vibration. He
said that force and matter are bu
the static and dynamic conditions o
the same primal substance and tina
from the eternal activity of the tire,
infinite principles of will, wisdom ant
love, there come forth all differenta
tiOns of activity. All manifestation
is the result of the activity of thes
primal qualities IN this original sub
stance, called by the scientists of to
/. day protyle. He said in part:
'All communication is the resui
of vibration, Of being keyed as a mul
tiple or divisor to the same rate o
vibration or being keyed alike.
I'VE register what we are keyed t
: and this determines our susceptible
ity to the silent forces of good an
evil that are all about u.s.

FEAR OF EPIDEMIC
Is NO LONGER FELT

Health department reports are to
the effect that all diphtheria cases in
Rock Island are clearing away nicely,
and that within a few days all who

partment and thereby an epidemic of

cases remain and within short time
