say which of these three qualities did
most for him.
John Churchill-"Handsom Jack"
as he was nicknamed-came of an old,
impoverished family. He was born
in 1850, had almost no early education
and became page to the duke OF York
(afterward James IL. Charles IL, the
duke of York's brother, was king Of
England and ruled dissolute court,
where wit and beauty brought far
higher rewards than did mere merit.
He soon worked his way into the
duke Of York's favor and received
from him a commission in the army.
AS a soldier he showed both yalor and
martial skill. But it is doubtful II
he would have risen as rapidly as he
did were 1t not for the very shady
means he employed for his own ad-
vancement. His good looks and his
INSCRIPTIONS conduct brought him
money and swift promotion. He
strengthened his position by marrying

Churchill quickly saw that William
would be the victor, and decided TO

when James Churchill calmly went

Churchill gained new honors by this

James might possibly regain his lost
crown. Churchill, in order TO make
certain of being on the winning side
served with William openly and kept
up secret correspondence with
James. William learned OF this and
had Churchill thrown into prison. Fol

Need New that
the county board has adopted the res
olutiOn TO redistrict the township Of
Moline for voting purposes the mat
ter of precinct committeeman has
again arisen, and the question as to
legality to hold Office is again under
consideration. The matter has been
gone into quite thoroughly by chair
men of the committees and others in
terested, and it is believed that the
question can be settled in manner
to comply with the spirit of the law.
With exception of three districts I'M
der the new plan, there is a commit
teeman residing in each district,
while a vacancy exists in three, the
discrepancy arising through the
change of the boundaries of the dis
tricts 1t is held that inasmuch as
the committeeman were legally elect
ed, the mere formality of changing
the numbers Of the districts will not
alter the situation.

planned to have a marshal in charge
Of each section and II will be his duty

at the hour the parade is 10 start.
Place Of assembling and line of march
VIII be taken up later. 1t is posi-
bile too, that prizes will be offered
for the best floral float and other
floats. This depends entirely on the
amount OF money that is raised. The
music committee has decided TO en-
case two bands of 30 pieces each and
this expense alone will amount TO
nearly $500 At the last meeting OF
the association ii was decided to en-
cage two bands and the committee
decided that 40 musicians were suf-
