RumOrs of Fire in West End Arise
When Noise Continues for An Hour
Heat Is Responsible.

1t was so hot yesterday that a
whistle on a Milwaukee engine in Dav-
export froze open and shrieked for an
hour before workmen were able to
thaw it out and close it up.
And all the while folk in the tri-
cities thought there was a big fire
simewhere. The fire station in Rock
Island was besieged with calls, many
believing that there was a blaze In
the Mill street factory district, the
sound having seemed to come from
that section.
Then there were stories that an eX-
cursion boat below here was on fire or
had met with an accident and was
summoning help. The boat offices were
busy denying that there was an accl-
dent
Finally the truth was learned. The
lever on the whistle of the engine had
been blocked so as to let all of the

Torrid Temperature Fails to Discour-
age Enthusiasm for Methodist Camp
Meeting Near Milan.
LARGEST CROWD IN AFTERNOON
Rev. Frank Cole of Davenport Speaks
on "Where the Spirit of the Lord Is
There Is Liberty"

SUNDAYS torrid temperature failed
to discourage enthusiasm at the Meth
odist camp meeting services at TN
daIrs grove near Milan and crowd of
fully 900 persons were present. The
gathering in the afternoon was the
largest of the day.
At that time Rev. Frank Cole, pastor
of st. Johns Methodist church, Daven-
mort. was speaker. He selected as his
text: where the Spirit of the Lord
Is There Is Liberty" He pointed out
that worldIiness and sin tend to ruina-
ton. illustrating this point by refer
ence TO a man, physically strong, who
weakens before sin. He said that
worIdIiness and sin narrow, and Chris
tianity broadens.
The meeting in the morning was ad-
dress by Rev. John Small of Preemp-
ton. That in the evening was in
charge of Rev. ]. E. Conner of the
First Methodist church of Moline.
The children's melting at 1870 in the
afternoon was one of the features Of
the day It was well attended. Miss
Margaret Duncan of Terre Haute, Ind,
noted evangelistic singer and worker,
led the services.
This afternoon Rev. J. L. Brown of
Atkinson was the speaker. Tonight
Rev. J. V. Kennedy of WatertOwn will
deliver the sermon. Tomorrow after
noon Rev. Sidney Guthrie will be the
speaker and in the evening Rev. L. NJ.
Thompson.
Election Saturday.
It was announced yesterday that the
annual election of officers will be held
next Saturday afternoon. At that time
all business matters in connection with
holding the meeting will be disposed
of. Rev. Abraham Jaggers of Strong
hurst is president of the association,
but because of illness he has been un-
able to attend thus far. Reports from
his home are to the effect that he is
improving and will likely be able to
be present before the meeting closes.
