FREE FROM DEBT
Congregation Raises Enough
Money to Give Nucleus for
Building Fund.

Success crowned the efforts of the
First Christian congregation in their
effrts to raise money to lift the
church debt A report was presented
yesterday which showed that the six
weeks campaign just ended has re-
suited in raising $3.50, or nearly 5000
more than enough to wipe out the in
debtedness. AS a result the delegates
TO the state conference at Jackson
vile this week can report for the first
time that the church is unincumbered
The 5000 above the sum needed will
be used as the nucleus. of a fund for
church extension. 1t is planned to
either build new auditorium or a new
Sunday school room as soon as flnan,
cial conditions warrant.
Rev. w. B. Slater, the pastor, and
]. A. Clark, superintendent of the
Sunday school, will leave tonight to
attend the state convention. The

STRAY SUITCASE is
PUZZLE AT HOSTELRY

Manager F. E. Leavens of the Man
ufacturers' hotel is puzzled over a
suitcase mystery which might furnish
clue to a sensational tragedy. The
probabilities are, however, that if the
story were ferreted out it would prove
most commonplace tale of a COM
mon human failing -forgetfulness.
For a week a suitcase lay in the
check room of the hotel with no one
to claim it. 1t was brought there a
week ago by a cabbie and thrown in
with other baggage on the supposition
that the owner would appear in a
short time to claim it. But nobody
came. After waiting till the hotel EN-
ployees began to grow curious Man.
ager Leavens ordered that the grip be
opened in hope of learning who the
owner might be.
Inside was a complete outfit of male
attire of an expensive quality Beyond
the mark &C 233, Scranton, Pa" moth,
ing was discovered TO untangle the
mystery. The grip was checked here
from Chicago and there was q stub

MAY START WORK
BEF ORE WINTER
President Porter Discusses the
Fourth Street Line With
City Commission.

1t is likely that the grading for the
Fourth street line will be done this
fall by the Tri-City Railway company
as a result of the protest that has
been registered by city officers re-
garding the delay. The proposition
was voted upon by the people two
years ago and yet nothing has been
done on the line President J. F. Por-
ter of the company explained to the
commission the handicaps that his
company has been laboring under and
while city officers are willing to admit
that circumstances have been unusual
they insist that something be done
this fall if possible.
! MIR. Porter said that the contract
with ]. G. White & Co, which did
all the company's construction work,
expired last spring and that the blue
prints were taken TO New York. This
made it necessary for the company to
make new surrey and start all over.
Then came the burning of the barns,
which made il necessary to turn at
tention from improvements to the diff
/ ficulties of operation which were i'm
posed.
Paving operations in Rock Island
have cost the company 100000 this
year, according tc Mr.. Porter, and
100000 more has been expended at
the power plant in this city. Relaying
of lines where paving was being done
has kept busy practically all the men
who could be secured for such work
in the three cities, and a large force
is now at work on the Third avenue
line in this city.
Mr.. Porter said he doubted if any
thing could be done on the Fourth
street line this fall, but would use
every effort to make at least a be
ginning

PUBLIC is TAKING
LITTLE INTEREST
So Commission May Hold AT
ternoon Intead of Morning
Meetings.

Forgotten when it is proceeding
with its good works, but remembered
only when it treads on the toes of
the public-this is the plight of the
Moline city commission Apparently
few persons know that the commits.
sion holds regular weekly meetings on
Monday Mornings. Seldom is anyone
present except the members and some
of the other city officers. The public
manifests no interest. There is no in
centive for debate, no inspiration for
oratory Without spectators all is
stale, flat and Improbable. Il re
ceived a bouquet the first day we met
and l don't expect TO get another one
as long as l am in office" lamented
Mayor Carlson today.
The mayor suggested that instead
of 10 a. m. the meeting be called tc
ordered at p. m. to make it more con
venient for citizens to attend. If this
measure fails a free lunch or cabaret
may be tried.
The commission has been led tt
seriously consider meeting in the
afternoon not only on account of lacl
of interest in morning sessions, bu
because there is now little chance
