the camp committees when they met
last night at the parlors Of the Mod
ern Woodmen Of America to report
on progress in the campaign for class
adoption undertaken by Camps No. &c
and No. J3443, Rock Island, and
Camp No. 457, Moline. The solicitors
had received such evidences OF friend
illness, loyalty and cooperation on all
hands that they felt encouraged to
predict a class far beyond original ex-
pectations.
The campaigners were instructed
TO make no effort TO secure applicants
for any particular amount Of insur-
snce or any specific plan. Applicants
will have their choice Of seven plans
and any amount OF insurance from
500 to $4,000.
MEET IN MOLINE NEXT.
The next meeting will be held at
Moline next Friday night. 1t is
thought It will be possible by that
time TO make an accurate estimate OF
the results Of the campaign. The
early success has been an inspiration
70 the workers and has aroused a
spirit OF generous rivalry in the move
ment among the representatives OF the
three camps
At meeting OF the men employed
in the head office last Wednesday
night. each pledged himself 70 secure
at least one applicant for this class
adoption.
Special Deputy COLON, who is in
direct charge of this campaign. ex-
pressed himself after the first days
work as confident that the society
will write more business under the
new plans than ever before.

ICE WATER CURE.

Realizing that heroic measures were
necessary TO revive the spark of life
which remained in the noble feline's
breast, the head porter with rare
presence of mind rushed back into the
hotel, seized scrub bucket, filled it
with water and hurried to the side or
the dying patriarch on his noble mis-
sion of mercy. There he gently emp
tied the pals contents upon the fever
ed brow of the stricken sufferer with
such telling results that the hearts
action became more regular, the glaz-
ing eyes were not quite so glazy, and
the pulse became normal. Peter"

although somewhat weak, was almost

OFFICERS USE
CLUBS ON MAN
WHOSTARTSFICHT

Andrew Dickerson, butcher, pre-
sented sorrowful picture when ar
raigned in City Court today on the
charge Of assault and battery on
patrOlman McGillion. The man
face was swollen to twice its normal
size, as the result OF the officer hav-
ing to use force in protecting himself
when he arrested Dickerson last night
on a charge of breach OF the peace.
AT the request Of Samuel S. Adams,
counsel for Dickerson. the case was
continued until Friday.
The arrest OF Dickerson last night
was the result Of a telephone message
received at the police station from a
woman, asking that an officer be sent
TO Fifth and Lombard streets. Cap
tain Evans detailed PatrOlmen SersUn
and McGillion to meet the woman.
But the officers refused TO enter the
house, No. 407 Lombard street. where
she said DickersOn was. She went
in, however, and shortly afterwards
the officers heard cries of murder
Dlckerson then came to the door
and asked Officer McGillion TO come
in. Dickerson was carrying a lamp
at the time but put it down as the Of
fcer entered. As the officer passed.
Dickerson struck the officer in the
mouth, loosening several teeth. AL
though dazed by the blow, McGillion
grappled with the man. and Officer
Serson. hearing the scuflle, rushed to
the aid Of his companion. Dickerson
grabbed Officer Serson's club and be-
gan beating the officers. and when the
three men reached the street. Dicker-
son began kicking, his feet landing
on the officers bodies. In protect
ing themselves and subduing the de-
fendant the officers had TO use force
before Dickerson was placed in the
patrol wagon.
