RED men PLAN TO
HAvE''MASSACRE"
Wagon Train of Gold Seekers
Will Be Attacked at Labor
Day Picnic.

Horrors of Indian warfare are to be
wildly depicted as feature of the pic
mic of King Philip tribe of Red Men at
Prospect park Labor day. A wagon
train of gold seekers of the sos will
be attacked by 500 redskins, most of
the men slain, the leader burned at
the stake and the women and children
taken into captivity. A special train
will bring Red Men from Kewanee to
witness the spectacle.
Elmer Johnson has been delegated
to arrange for the massacre and will
spend the next two weeks at his task.
He proposes to stage the event at sun
down. The whites will appear on the
scene, halt by the pool and begin to
make camp. Suddenly 500 Indians will
descend upon them from nearby points
of concealment and the carnage will
begin. When nearly all the white
men are disposed of the leader
will be dragged from his wagon and
tied to a tree, dummy being switched
into the action during the operation.
A fire will be kindled and the dummy
will be reduced to ashes in approved
Indian style
The women and children will be the
local Daughters of Pocahontas and
children of members of the two organ
izations.
Spencer Anderson is arranging for
the music and dancing, Charles Wen
dell and Edward Bloomquist for the
refreshments and Werner Tain for the
advertising.

With more than $4,000 of the re-
quired $4,000 pledged for the build
ing and loan fund of the Greater Mo-
line committee, Secretary Arthur G.
Brown stated today that the necessary
amount is in sight and he is confident
that the fund will be over-subscribed
before the canvass ends Thursday
evening. A number of the % workers
now canvassing for stock subscriptions
have not been heard from, but reports
already in show that it will not be
hard TO reach the $4,000 mark, and
thereby be in position to claim the
subscription of $4,000 promised by
Deere & Co, under such conditions
Secretary Brown wishes it to be
known that there is q good use for
more than the 100000, which is set
rs the minimum to be raised. Not only
is 1t the plan to loan money with
which 70 build houses and to build
houses to sell, but houses will be put

HALF CLAD GIRL
FOUND IN A CAVE
Marie Murphy, Aged IT, Ar
rested and Will Be Sent to
State Institution.

Living half clad in a dugout in the
Fourth street rsvine and within 200
yards of Fifth avenue, Marie Murphy,
a 17-year-old girl, was arrested by the
police Monday afternoon. With her
was taken Frank Trout, married
man. The two had been making this
place their abode for six days.
Attention to existing conditions was
called in an anonymous letter to
Chief of Police Bisant. in which 1t was
stated that the girl was being held
against her will and that she was
naked. When arrested, the girl made
it plain that she had chosen to live in
the cave. So far as clothing was con-
cerned she had nothing worth men
tioning but a heavy winter coat.
Trout was fined 5000 and will lay 40
days in the county Jail, being without
funds. The girl in all likelihood will
be sent to some state institution.
The girl came here from Kansas
City about four months ago. When
she arrived she was penniless and ap-
pealed to the police, who placed her
under the care of the police matron.
Employment was found for her, but
she worked only a short time. The
matron kept track of her till about two
weeks ago, when she disappeared, and
it was supposed that she had left the
city. The cave where she was found
was strewn with yellow backed nov
els of the cheapest sort.
Trout has been rooming at 500
Fifth avenue. He has wife and three
children at North Platte, Neb. His
wife has written the police for infor.
nation concerning her husband and
said she thought of starting divorce
proceedings. From her statements it Is
gathered that she is in want.

CHAIR USED IN STOPPING
MOTORCYCLE SPEEDERS

An ordinary chair was effectively
used as a weapon with which to curb
motorcycle speeders by Trustee Bell
of the village of Silvis. Observing two
machines speeding up First avenue
the trustee grabbed up a chair that
was standing in front of building
and dashed into the middle of the
avenue. Flourishing lis improYised
weapon he induced the riders to apply
the brakes and then he steered them
to the village lookup. A young lady
accompanied each rider. The gir.s
took to their heels, but were recap
tured. After a good scare had been
given all parties they were released,
promising to sin no more.

DRYS ARE HOPING TO WIN

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 19.-With the aid
of women voters, officers of the Anti
Saloon league predict that in Novem-
Der six Illinois counties will be added
to the thirty now listed as being with
out a saloon. wet" and dry cleo
tons will take place Nov. 5 in the
seventeen counties in the southern
part of the state which are under pre-
cinct instead of township organiza-
ton, elections in the latter class of
counties being held in April.
Dry workers already are in the
field in the wet" strongholds which
will be attacked Petitions must be
filed with county clerks not later than
Sept. 5, or sixty days before the e.ec-
ton.

state superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon league, yesterday. with women
voting we feel confident OF making
almost a clean sweep. Most of the
cities in which elections will be held
are small. In this class of cities few
women will espouse the wet" cause.
An example of the way women VIII

where AS out of 432 women voted
with the 'drys.'
THE elections this fall will be only
a preliminary skirmish to the battles
in cities in counties under township
organization next April. Including
six new counties in which We hope to
drive out all the saloons this fall we
expect, with the aid of the women.

next April"
Eight of the seventeen counties I'M

WIIuouI SdlOOhC. Hc iilllS NOuAIiCo
in which there remain one or more
precincts with saloons are Alexander,
Calhoun, Cass. Massac, Menard, Mon
roe, Perry, Pulaski and Randolph.
Pinckneyville, Petersburg and Ath-
ems are among the cities where the
''drys" hope to Danish the saloons.
Cairo probably will be the only wet"
city in the nine counties in which no
fight will be made.
The Anti-Saloon league has sent out
warnings to those circulating dry
petitions against allowing women to
sign them. Doubt has been expressed
as to the right of women to sign peti
tions. The new suffrage law gives the
women the right to vote on all propo
sitions submitted within political sub
divisions of the state.
