broken, but examination showed that
it was dislocated. The boy, according
to witnesses, was playing en- the

than a week and showing them the
spots On his back, Howard Ramser,
14-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs vii,
Ramser, of 1922 Nineteenth street, was
Quarantined for chicken pox, a closer
examination showing that he was af-
ficted with smallpox. The Ramser
lad was not thought to be seriously
i'll and has been playing with the
other boys of the neighborhood Sew.
eral of the other boys were also trou-
bled with chicken poX but they hava

Occupy Church Another Vear.-An
agreement has practically been reach
ed between the First Congregational
church and 7. Z. Lundell, representing
the purchasers of the church property
whereby the congregation may occupy
the building until June l, 1914. While
no papers have as yet been signed to
this effect, there is little. doubt but
that this plan will be adopted. 1t
would be difficult for the church to
find another place in which to hold
its services before that time and ap-
preciating this fact the new owners
have consented TO its occupancy until
then. Plans for the new building, or
buildings, TO be erected there will not
be drawn up for some time because
of this agreement.

Postotfice Receipts S24,422.-From
the standpoint of total gross receipts
the business transacted at the Moline
postofdce in May was the greatest Tor
any single month in the history of the
office. This does not except any holi'
day month, when to all outward ap-
pearances the run of business at the
postofice should reach its maximum
Statement of Postmaster A T Foster
for the month shows that receipts
from all sources during May reached
a total of S24,422.0S, which is an in.
crease of $5,S417S over the figures
recorded for May, 1912. This high wa
ter mark in the business of the post
Office is largely attributed to parcels
post, which has been an unusually live
department in Moline since the ser
vice was established the first of the
year. During May parcels post stamps
to the amount of $5,695.75 were sold al
the Moline postof1ice and these were
used in consigning $4,000 pieces oil
