Fuller Fills Pulpit
Disappoints Many

The leaving Of Mr.. Flesher so sud-
denly will doubtless dissappoint many
of the church members as well as
many of the citizens of Bemidji.
He was much liked by all and won
the confidence and admiration Of
those with whom he came in con-
tact. When the question of his return
by the conference came up, most Of
the. church members had no doubt
but that he would be returned to
his charge. He has built up the
church membership from scattering
congregation to one Of the strong
est in this section, in addition to CIV
ing them and this city one of the best
and prettiest churches in the state.
His many friends and loyal sup
porters extend to him their earnest
and best wishes for success in his
new undertaking and perdict for
him a most prosperous future,

All women of Rock Island should
register tomorrow. Regardless of any
prejudices they may have entertained
on the subject of suffrage. they must
now live up to the trust reposed in
them by the lawmakers of the state
and vote when voting time comes.
We suggest to the women who have
automobiles that they devote at least
part of the day, all day if they can,
to taking their less fortunate friends
and neighbors to their registering
places. You may never have done any
civic work yourself up to this time,
this is perhaps your first opportunity
Do not overlook it.
Some women will be too feeble to
walk, some are recovering from i'll
ness and would not dare to exert them
selves TO walk any distance, all house
keepers are busy people at this sea

The Duty of Women to Register

the excessive heat these days exhausts
the strongest, so the trip to register
may appear as the last straw, but an
auto ride, even if the distance is snort
would he rest and change that would
refresh them and make them forget
their tired feet and general WEAKNESS
You need not confine your EFFORTS
to your own precinct. You have &C.
quaintances all over town. Cut the
list of precinct boundaries from Mon
days papers, and when in doubt con-
suit it. If women cannot go, take their
names and addresses and register for
them, the only requirement being that
they live in the precinct and are over
81 years of age Eighteen is the legal
age for women in this state, but u is
voting age. This idea came from wo-
man who has a machine. She intends
to use hers in this way. We urge you
to do the same and we predict that
you will enjoy the experience so much
that you will let nothing prevent you
making the same use of your auto
when Sept. II comes.

BODY OF MAN is
FOUND FLOATING
DOWN THE RIVER
Supposed to Be That of j. Leo,
nard of New Boston Who
Had Been Working Here.
MYSTERY SHROUDS DEATH
But Officials Scout Idea That He May
Have Been Murdered-Open
Verdict by coroner's Jury.

The body of a man, supposed to be
that of ]. Leonard Of New Boston,
H., was discovered floating down
the river by two boys who were play
ing near the bank at the foot Of Four
teenth street shortly after o'clock
last evening.
The body was towed ashore and
taken 10 the Kent undertaking parlors
where it now lies awaiting the arrival
of relatives. The man is thought TO
have a mother and sister at New
Boston and these hayN been notified.
II is supposed that the floater had
been in the water for several days
as it was in an advanced state of
decomposition when found.
DEATH A MYSTERY.
The cause Of the mans death re-
mains a mystery. At the coroner's
jury, held last night, even his name
was unknown and an open verdict
was returned.
Today, however, several men who
had worked with him at the Tri-City
Button company in Davenport identl-
fled the body as that Of ]. Leonard.
A card containing the name of that
company upon which was inscribed a
name too faint 10 be decipherable,
and a dime we're all that was found
in his pockets.
But little was known concerning
him. He came TO Davenport, supposed
ly from Burlington, few weeks ago
and obtained employment at the but
ton company. About one week ago he
quit his job and had not been seen
since.
SCOUT MURDER IDEA.
The idea that the man had met
with foul play was secuted by the
coroner today.
It was at first supposed that GER
tain marks on the mans body might
have resulted from blow with some
dull instrument but further investiga-
ton showed that they were probably
encountered by humping against some
object in the river.
The theory of suicide is also given
little credence. The belief generally
held Is that the man might have fallen
into the river. Where or how he fell
in remains unknown, however.

1.-THE hope is quite generally expressed
throughout the state that the report that
comes from Lansing that the Michigan
State Telephone Company is about to take
over the lines of the Citizens Company in
different sections of the state, and that
this is a forerunner of the merger of all
companies, is true.
Conditions have materially changed Of
late. The state railway commission hav-
ing been given jurisdiction over telephone
companies with authority to fix tolls and
rates, there is no longer cause for appre.

System

hension that the exactions Of telephone
companies can become burdensome. Con-
ditions have reached point where exces.
sive and burdensome rates can no more be
tolerated, and as to the mere matter Of
service the telephone is a natural mon.
opoly.
If all the companies can be equitably
merged and the highest possible effective
ness as to service be obtained and at fair
rates, the business of the state will be
much bettered by one-service company.
