Decorators entered ST. Mary's
Roman Catholic church, Fourth ave-
nue. and Twenty-second street, last
evening and upsetting the articles
on the altar, departed. 1t is pre-
sumed that the same thieves who en-
tered churches in Moline, continued
their work in this city. 1t is thought
the robbers were locking for the
gold service which is used in the
religious ceremonies of the denomina-
ton.
Entrance to the church was gained
through the front door by means of
a skeleton key. AS far as known
nothing of value was taken, although
the images and other adornments of
the church were overturned in ruth

tigating.

GET ADVERSE DECISION

Madison, Wis, July 10.-Attorney
General owen yesterday advised, in
an unofficial opinion, that the national
progressive party is not entitled to
have a party column on the ballot, but
may have a separate party ticket for
state an dnational officers in the pri-
mary. The reasoning upon which this
view depends is the fact that the party
did not have candidate for governor

Rome, July 10.-The example set

BOB CORKHILL IS
SLASHED IN FIGHT
Rock Islander, Member of Wat
erloo Team, in Hospital
at Cedar Rapids.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July 10.-Robert
Corkhill of Rock Island, left fielder
for the Waterloo baseball team, re-
ceived bad cut in his left side short
ly after o'clock Monday evening
from a razor in the hands of Arthur
Macarthur, a painter, whose home is
in Burlington, but who has been work
ing in Cedar Rapids during the past
six weeks. Corkhill was taken to St
Luke's hospital, and Macarthur was ar
rested after a short chase and taken
to the police station.
From the statements of eye wit
nesses it is believed that the affair
was the result of too much booze.
Corkhill was in a surly mood as the
result of trouble with the manager of
the Waterloo team, and did not play
in Monday game. 1t is claimed he
had been drinking some during the
day and was quarrelsome.
Macarthur had an open razor in his
hand, and was Enthusiastically drunk,
according to those who saw the trou-
BILE. He called Corkhill a name and
the baseball player knocked him
down. Macarthur arose and in the
scuffle that ensued Corkhill was cut
with the razor, the wound being over
foot in length, requiring 40 stitches
to close. The wound did not pen
citrate the abdominal cavity, however,
less complications occur.

Antiquity of the Census.

The idea of the census is almost as
old as history itself. King Amasis of
Egypt took census OF his people 500
years before Christ The Atbenian so
Ion established a census for the pur-
pose Of facilitating taxation. We learn
that about 443 B. c. Servius julius
took a census of Rome. During the
chaos Of the dark ages the census
dropped into oblivion. but was re-
Fived again about the beginning of the
eighteenth century.
