MOLINER NAMED
TO HIGH OFFICE
Charles Dewend Appointed Sec
rotary of Retail Mer-
chants Association.

Charles F. Dewend. well known fur
niture dealer and active in the Retail
Merchants association, has been ap-
pointed secretary of the Illinois Retail
Merchants association by the board
of directors. The appointment was
unsolicited by Mr.. Dewend. He has
accepted and will take charge of the
office July 10.
Offices have been maintained in Chi
cage the last four years, but the board
has decided to remove them to Peoria
Mr.. Dewend will therefore make his
home in that city. 1t was thought
best to remove the office to that city
as it is more centrally located and the
new secretary will work from there.
He contemplates using an automo-
bile for a part of his travels in
his work as secretary. His
many duties in the association during
the years he was in business in this
city have given him a good insight in
the workings and needs of this Office
and he is expected to fill the secretary
ship as no other man has filled it.

The Earth's interior

That the interior of the earth is in
tensely hot is proved by the increase
in temperature observed in deep mines
and in even deeper behring's. 1t is prov
ed also by the emission of lava, which
is nothing more than molten rock,
from the craters of volcanoes. But
the scientists. who maintain that the
earth's interior is not fluid but of the
consistency of steel, are probably cor
rect just the same. Matter, when un.
der great pressure. may be rigid even
at enormously high temperature. The
interior rocks OF the earth may be heat
ed to several thousand degrees and
still be solid. When pushed up to the
surface by volcanic action and relieved
from pressure these solid. though sup.
erheated. rocks would become immed-
lately liquefied. The practical deep
well borers. who find that their drills
are softened by the heat of the lower
strata, have not got the laugh on the
-heoretic savants.-Philadelph Rec

PREDICT A SPLIT
0FPROCRE sSIvES
Leaders Fear Bad Results if
Republicans Seek to
Amalgamate.

Washington, D. C., June Estate
ments made yesterday by leaders of
the progressive party indicate the
probability of split in that organiza-
ton over the proposal that the repub-
licans and the third party jointly nomi-
nate Colonel Theodore Roosevelt as
their presidential candidate in 1916.
Some of the insiders are opposed to
the plan of a dual. nomination from
fear such a nomination might end in
total eclipse of the third party. Others
look with favor on a union of the two
forces in 1916 as a means of defeating
the democratic nominee.
please say for me that all amalga-
nation talk is rot" Representative
Murdoch of Kansas said. Men do not
compromise their principles unless
they compromise their principles for
selfish ambitions such as the acquisi-
ton of a political Office. The voters of
this country are subjected to much
cheap peanut politics, but as a rule the
voters vote their convictions and prin-
ciples. Parties are formed on prin-
ciples and conviction and not on per-
sonal ambitions.
The men who organized the pro-
gressive party acted on principle. They
were firm in the conviction that both
the old parties are bad. They are not
going to change this conviction and
with the republicans, who
have given no evidence in the last two
years of any increase in efficiency or |
Chairman Hinebaugh OF the progress
sive congressional committee said:
IF Colonel Roosevelt lives, he will |
be nominated for president by the pro-
gressive party in 1916. If the progress
sive element in the republican party
obtains control, as / believe it will,
Roosevelt will be nominated by the
republican party
Those elements in the republican |
'arty which were responsible for the
pitt and organization, unconsciously, |
will exert the strongest influence in
ringing the republican party to the
progressive camp and for Roosevelt's

NO INCREASE FOR
CITY PROTECTORS
Appropriation Ordinance as It
Now Stands Provides No
Money for Salary Boost.

Unless a change is made in the ap-
preparation ordinance, before it comes
up for final passage and adoption at
next Mondays weekly meeting, police
men and firemen of the city will not re.
ceive the increase in salary they pet.
toned for a few months ago. This
statement was made by one of the
city commissioners this morning.
The appropriation ordinance, as 1t
now stands makes provision for every
item of expense that will be incurred
during the coming fiscal year, includ-
ing the salaries of the city employees.
The amount of salaries, however, is
the same as last years appropriation.
and as there is no fund provided for
in the ordinance which could be drawn
upon to pay the increase should one
be granted, the increase will go by de-
fault unless a drastic change is made
some time during the present week.
One of the commissioners said this
morning that the members OF the COM
mission had made no decision in the
matter as yet, although it has been
brought up for discussion at several
secret meetings. At these meetings
item after item was dropped from the
list of appropriations while cuts were
made in others. When the ordinance
was finally framed there was no stipu-
lation made regarding the increase in
salaries for the local policemen and
and fire laddies which has been asked
for. AS result these employees Of the
city are clinging to the hope that the
commission will incorporate into the
ordnance a provision for a fund that
will allow them TO make the increase
as soon as a new ordinance goyern;ns
salaries may be passed.

100 Is AVERAGE
At FAIRGROUNDS
Supervisor Adolph oppenheim-
er in Public Statement
Makes Report.

According to the report of Adolph
Oppenheimer, supervisor of Moline's
public Fairgrounds, the average daily
attendance at the Riverside grounds,
which has proven by far the most pop
ular in the city. is 100. and one day
last week 1S5 children took advantage
of the facilities for play.
The work on building a supply house
at the grounds began yesterday and
when it is finished piano is TO be in
stalled and the dances taught there.
The two new tennis courts under con-
struction will be ready for use by
Thursday of this week and if they
prove as popular as is anticipated, two
others will be installed. The courts
are of grass covering. closely cropped,
which, according to Mr.. Oppenheimer
is better for play than bare ground.
The municipal bathing beach at
Prospect park will be ready for use
within a week and the children are to
be taught swimming there by compe-
tent instructors. Those who wish to
take advantage of this course in swim
ming lessons are asked to confer upon
the subject with Supervisor Open
heimer, and satisfactory arrangements
will be made.
For the benefit of those children
who are to take part in the Fourth of
July parade, Mr.. Oppenheimer an
nounces that enough money has been
by the association for the
purpose of supplying 200 boys with
caps and flags, and 200 girls with UNI
Drellas. He asks those who wish to |
enter the parade TO meet with him |

Where Women Nav Not PRAY

In some parts of the world the wo-
men are not even allowed to pray.
Certain Hindu congregations deny
their women this privilege, and among
the Anus women can pray only in
very rare cases as the deputies of
their husbands. The natives of NADIA
gascar, however, stretch point and
permit their women to intercede with
the powers of evil, but prayer to their
supreme being is strictly a masculine

The law is very plain, and there

When a person gives a che ok on any

to cover the amount called for by
the check or he is subject to prs

WHY FISH HAVE NO EYELIDS
Unnecessary Appendases, and All
Wise Nature Has in Consequence
Eliminated Them.

Have you ever noticed the vacant
stare of fish and wondered why
they have no eyelids? If you have
not it will be interesting the next
time You visit an aquarium to note
closely the eyes of the fish and OBJ
serve how they are compelled, either
in their sleeping or waking hours, to
peer constantly out through the wa
ter.
As a matter of fact, fish have no
need of eyelids. 1t would be viola
tive of the economy of nature for
them to be equipped with such use
less appendage. In the water there
is no dust to get into the eyes, moth
ing to scratch them or mar them
with blows, and the great cushion of
water that forever surrounds them
protects them from many other dam
gers which confront land animals.
1t will be seen, therefore, that ma
ture did not merely neglect to fit fish
with eyelids, but apparently did 50
with the purpose of conserving the
energy that would be needed in
maintaining them for use at some
more important part.

SAYS FISH HAVE HYpRoPHoeIA.

"Fish with hydrophobia," is the
caption On a report in the German
Anglers News of an extraordinary
mania affecting the huge pike in the
River Sieg and other continents of
the Rhine. The pike rise to the sur
face and swim around in the greatest
excitement, which bears all signs of
absolute terror.
Anglers state pike thus affected
when caught snap more fercely than
the others. The disease is believed
to have some connection with the re-
cent floods. Local societies and the
riverine authorities invite anglers to
come and help rid the streams of
these diseased fish.
