LOSES CHANCETO
EAT GOOD TURKEY

Thanksgiving proved a disastrous
holiday for Olaf Johnson of this city.
Olaf spent the morning hours in cele-
brating the occasion and then started
to go to a house where he had been
invited for dinner. His memory failed
him, however, and he was unable to
locate the place. Instead he tried to
enter house at 301 Fifth avenue The
family there was not expecting a guest
and called the police.
Olaf spent the night in Jail, mourn
ing the loss of a good Thanksgiving
dinner. This morning he still could
not remember where he had been in
vited, but the magistrate. sympathizing
with him over the failure to eat tur-
key. released him under a suspended
sentence.

MOLINE WILL NOT
FOLLOW EXAMPLE
Action of Rock Island in Asking
for Far Side Stop of Cars
Not Popular Here.

Moline is not likely to follow the ex.
ample Of Rock Island and request the
Tri-City Railway company to rescind
the near-side stop rule and revert to
the old far-side stop regulation. Moline
has no ordinance on the subject, but
the commissioners consented to, and
In part informally requested the adop-
ton of the near-side stop rule. Mayor
Carlson is strongly opposed to revert
ing to the old rule, and so are some
of the commissioners.
Rock Island commissioners have re-
quested the company to rescind the
rule, at the instance of business men
on Second avenue, who complain that
it iaterferes with traffic and is an an
noyance rather than a convenience to
the public.
The near-side stop rule is impor
tant for the safety of the public de-
clares Mayor Carlson. 'In my person
al experience l have seen many in
stances where the near-side stop would
have prevented accidents. 1 believe
in this method as a protection to all
traffic on the Streets
Davenport has an ordinance requir-
ing the near-side stop. The company
has advised the Rock Island author
tiles that it is willing to adopt either
rule, but it desires uniformity, and pre-
fers not to make a change in Rock
Island unless similar requests come
from Moline and Davenport.

CHURCHES UNITED
IN THANKSGIVING
Blessings Enumerated by Rev.
A. j. Pitman-President's
Proclamation Read.

Rev. A J. Pitman of the Second
Methodist church, who delivered the
sermon at the Thanksgiving service
held yesterday forenoon in the United
Presbyterian church, participated in
by the English speaking churches of
the city, declared that thankfulness is
the continuous outpouring of the Split
of joy and is not spasmodic.
The speaker enumerated various rea-
sons why this nation and people
should be thankful. The thought en-
phasized was that we should not limit
the things for which to be thankful to
merely those that may appear to us to
be blessings. Our hardships and sor
rows are for a helpful purpose he
pointed out
The prayer Of the service was given
by Rev. P. C. Ladd and the scripture
lesson was read by Rev. Craig S.
Thoms. Other pastors taking part in
the service were Rev. ]. E. Conner.
Rev. w. B. Slater and Evangelist John
B. Dickson.

between the wife and the boarder, it
is claimed by Guabaris, caused him to
order the man from the place Wednes-
day night The boarder returned to
get his clothes and the husband drove
him away. The police then accompan-
led the boarder to the house that he
might get his clothes. and in the pres
ence of the police the husband at
tempted to attack him. The boarder
got his clothes and promised to leave
the city, which he did.
Yesterday, however, Guabaris tried
to drown his sorrow in drink. Instead
Of soothing him, the drink magnified
his difficulties. He went home and
drove his wife and children from the
house, following them to Tenth street
and Fourth avenue, where he was ar
rested.

LOOK FOR THIEF
WHO TOOK MONEY
Investigation of Burglary May
Bring Forth Sensational
Developments.
BIRTHDAY FUNDS STOLEN
Believed That the cuIprIt Knew Box
Had Not Been Emptied for
Several Weeks.

Investigation of the theft of the
missionary box of the Swedish Baptist
church may lead to sensational de-
velopments. Money to the amount of
SIS was removed from the box Wed
nesday night.
The money in the box was birth
day" money, given by the children of
the Sunday school, for use in mission
work. 1t had not been emptied for
some time but was to have been this
week For this reason people con-
nected with the church and Sunday
school believe that the thief was
someone who knew that the box was
full.
The fact that the box was kept in a
certain place in the basement where
an outsider would never have thought
of searching is another reason for the
theory. The thief took the box from
its resting place to the church rooms
above, rified it there and left the
empty box in the church.
Arrest Is Near.
Entrance was gained through
basement window which was forced
with a large piece of iron. An arrest
is anticipated according to people con-
nected with the church. That the
burglary was committed sometime
Wednesday night is certain for the
reason that an entertainment was
given at the church that evening and
the box was in its customary place
when the doors were locked after the

LIGHT FINGERED
CENT OUT AGAIN
Unsuccessful in Attempt to Re-
lieve Business Man of
Pocketbook.

The pickpocket who has been oper-
ating in Moline during the last few
weeks, ventured forth yesterday. So
far as is known he made little or
nothing but at any rate he is still free.
\ Moline business man was his intend
ed victim. The Mcliner boarded a
Silvis car in the afternoon at Fifth
avenue and Fifteenth street. AS the
car started the business man felt his
fat pocketbood slipping from his
pocket, and it seemed as though a
hand aided it in its egress. The bust
ness man clapped his hand to his
pocket and whirled around.
Behind him stood four men. All of
the eight hands were idle and each
was innocent and uncon-
cerned.
One of the four men left the car a
little later. making the pretense that
he had boarded the wrong car. It is
believed that he is the man who at
tempted the theft.
