MOLINE

saIoonman Fined.-Peter Verbeke
yesterday forenoon pleaded guilty to
charge of violating the Sunday closing
ordinance for saloons and was fined
500 and costs by Justice William
Nhiteside. The offender operates i
thirst emporium at 43S Third avenue.
The police for some time had thought
that Verbeke was violating the ordi-
nance and Sunday afternoon as the
result of a watch set on the place an
officer was able 10 walk IN on the pro-
prietor and catch him in the act of
disposing of his wet goods. About
dozen men were found in the place.
Have Fire Scare.-Burnilg out OF
a motor at $40 Sunday evening in the
Office of DR.. A NJ. Beal in the Me
chanics & Merchants bank building
filed the upper rooms with smoke and
for brief time conveyed the impress
sion that a serious blaze was in pro-
gress. The motor controlled the large
| sign Of the Mechanics and Merchants
bank. The motor was stationed in
| one Of the front rooms OF the build
rooms of the building, which was rent
| ed by DR.. Beal at the time he removed
/ from the old Browning building on
| Sixteenth street, now used as an an
mex to the Manufacturers hotel.
/ Smoke issuing from the windows re-
| suited in an alarm of fire being sound
ed and the firemen quickly discovered
that the fire was not serious, though
it looked dangerous. The only damage
done was to the motor, which can be
repaired.
Will Buy More Hose.-Commission-
of Public Health and Safety E. L.
Eastman, under whose supervision is
the fire department, holds that the
fire insurance underwriters have been
unfair to Moline in reducing this city
to fourth class, while Rock Island is
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-09-10

allowed to remain in third class. The
commissioner admits that Moline has
an insufficient supply of hose. He says
he does not see his way to immediate
purchase of 1850 feet of additional
hose, the quantity that the fire under
writer's declare to be one of the re-
quirements of third class for a city of
this size and population. Re says,
however, that recognizing the local
departments deficiency in the matter
of hose, he will advertise in a few
days for bids for about $500 worth of
additional hose. This will not bring
US up to what the underwriters call
standard for third class, but it will be
an improvement over the present stat
US.

such foods as make for contention and
strife. John Burroughs says: Let
those who love turmoil arm for tur
MOL their very arming will bring it;
and let those who love peace disarm
for peace; the disarming will hasten
it, We are told that battleships are
essential, that two new ones year is
insufficient to keep our navy up to
such condition as will command re-
spect from other nations and prepare
us for any emergency. Two year,
$24, 0O0,00 for building besides the
cost of armament, $4,000, 900 year to
run them. $1,521, 1876, 1876 appropriated
for the navy since the war with Spain,
$126, Ats, 1873 for 1912!
S., 900, 900 year judiciously spent
for the education of the people in n.y.
creme and domestic science would &C
cOmplish more for the welfare of our
land.
The cost of one old "Dreadnought"
for building and maintaining while in
service, S32, O0O,O 900, would so speed the
Gospel that soon indeed the time
would come when Nations should
learn war no more" The appropria-
tons for the navy for the year 1912
would pay more than 100000 ministers
to labor among our own mountain
whites and foreign population; what
would it not do for the advancement
of the reign of the Prince of Peace?
Then let us in every possible way
labor for that higher civilization, that
perfect physical manhood and woman
hood, which shall think rather of the
Golden Rule as measure of conduct
and not of destruction of life and
property as the only way to settle
difficulties. Time was, not so many
years ago, when the school teacher
must prove her muscular supremacy
that is past, her muscles help to win
respect now only as n cans or aid to
greater pOise, self confidence and
nerve force; and as we awaken to the
possibilities dormant in the human
body and set about their unfolding and
development as MIR. Burbank does with
the plant life. then will we feed and
otherwise care for our bodies accord
ing to the laws of Nature, which are
Gods laws, so plainly written in Oul
members, yet SO little needed or in
deed read, and peace will reign in the
home, the school, the nation and the
world. Divorce navy, army shall be-
come terms used simply as relating tt
the past. The saloon, the dive. anC
their related evils done away. Do yor
say | am painting it too strong? | dc
not claim that one or two generation:
can bring it about, but do believe i
will come, yes, it is optimistic but the
reform is already begun. Numbers
here and there are studying the body
and it's life and needs as never before
and the nation shall yet fulfil thu
prophesy of the school For We art
bought with price, therefore glorify
God in your body and in your spirit

LOUIS LOMBARD, MEDICO-
 MUSICAL MILLIONAIRE, IS 51 TOMORROW.

Louis Lombard is a name that stands for the extreme limit of suc- cessfu1 versatility. The owner of the name will celebrate his ffty-frst birthday to-rnorrow-perhaps in his palace the Chateau de Trevano, at Dugano, Switzerland; perhaps at one or another of his magnificent homes s in various parts of Europe: maybe in London or. New York or Melbourne or Buenos Ayres or Rome or Hong Kong; probably somewhere else. He is rolling stone, and, Just to put an other crinp into outworn pro verb, he has gathered moss. The if nancier will tell you that Louis Lorn-
 bard is a Wall street wizard, who has taken a toll of millions from the money-wfse of that thoroughfare. The journalist will describe him as an ed itor. The musician will inform you that he is the composer of the comic opera, Juliet" and the grand opera, ''Errisinola,' as well as many other compositions. The attorney will claim him as a colleague by reason of his graduation from the Co1um bia Law School and his membership in the New York Medico-Lega1 Society, of which he has been vice-president. Theatrical magnate and impressario, he was a founder and director of the International Theatrical Society, houses in Italy and South America. Physicians hail him as brother, and he was the Unitad States delegate to the International Congress of Medi- cine at Lisbon six years ago.; dele gate to the International Congress oT1 Inebriety in London in 1910; to the Congress on Obstetrics, Gynec0%ogy
