Church Plans Progressing.

Respecting the enterprise entered
into by the Methodist congregation OF
this city, it may be stated that the
committee is getting things we'll
enough in hand that it will be closed
up within the next 10 days. The COM
mittee is encouraged from results al
ready obtained and the work on the
parsonage probably will start immedi-
ately. AS soon as the plans for the
new church can be drawn up and
adopted the building of that edifice
will be started. The large residence
situated upon the site of the new
buildings is practically leveled to the
ground and the debris ready for re-
moval.

Few Davenport residents know that
there is a city arsenal. Yet there is,
and it is kept in the safe in the Office
of the chief of police in the city hall

handled by the Davenport police since
the founding of the department years

another of the sort. The police, conse-

sortment of weapons, ranging from
sling shots to shotguns. These, the
MAYOR considers of no use to the city
and he advocates their sale. His plan

Davenporter Nabbed in Ohio-Under
an indictment returned by the grand

weeks ago, Carl Meyer, claiming to
be a resident of Davenport, was ar

using the mails to defraud. The story
of the alleged fraud is an interesting
one. 1t seems that Meyer received a
copy of the will Of the late John
| George Laitsch of Chicago, in which
$500 was bequeathed to his grandson
| Carl F. Meier. Carl Meyer. it is al
legged, then wrote August Torpe, ex-
ecutor of the will, and represented
himself to be the grandson and bene-
! fciary under the will The money
was handed him after he had sent two
letters to the Chicago man Shortly
afterward, the real Carl +. Meier ap-

sKIIN1MING NEWSPAPERS.

Some interesting results are being
reported of tests given college students
about facts connected with the war in
Europe. These tests generally re-
late to facts tina tevery reader of the
war news should be pretty familiar
with. Yet the students seem able to
answer scarcely half these questions,
Many business men and others have
tried their hand at them, and can
answer even less.
This is the result of the common
habit of merely reading headlines.
Most persons will read thoroughly
only what Immediately affects them.
The housewife reads the advertising,
the business man reads the markets.
Also almost everyone reads the local
news of their own locality.
But when it comes to following the
news of the war; Congress, national
politics, Mexico, ETC., it is surprising
how even. Intelligent people do skip
over it. A hasty glance at the head
lines, and opening paragraphs and
they pass on to other things. u
No doubt that is the result of the
surfeit Of reading offered in our mod
ern life. But it is a wonderfully dra-
1natio story that is being told today
in the newspapers, and no one ever
lived at q more thrilling period. Every
word the newspapers print is worth
attention.
