their brother-in-law, lamented when

ceeded swimmingly until they entered
a saloon at the corner on Third ave-

tap inside and they listened to it.
When they left the place they imme-
diately took sides. One defended Ger
many. Another stepped in in behalf of
France and the third resented the &C
cusation that England was not bearing
its share of the war burden It was a

MATRE TO DISCUSS
PASSION PLAY HERE

Professor Anthony Matre will be in
Rock Island next Monday to deliver
his lecture on the "Oberammergau
Passion Play" He will speak in the
evening at the Knights OF Columbus
hall, Nineteenth street and Third ave-
nue.. A nominal admission price OF 81
cents will be charged and the lecture
is open to the public. Professor Ma
ire comes under the auspices of the
Columbian Lyceum Bureau of Detroit.
He made a study of the Oberammer-
gau play as it was given in the little
village in the Tyrolean Alps in 1900.
During the lecture $50 slides are used.
The story of the play as presented in
Oberammergau and its inception is an
interesting one. In the sixteenth CEN
tury, when a plague was sweeping
through Europe and people died as
flies, the populace of this village pray
ed to Christ and decided that if they
were spared they would immortallze
Christs life in the play. Their lives
were spared and ever since the play
has been given at intervals.

out of your blood. The membranes

gathers and thickens into catarrh.
s. S. s. stimulates the cells Of the It's
sues to select from the blood their own
essential nutriment. Rapid recovery
from catarrhal inflammation in the stom-

branes is the result.

The gaunt complexion of malaria's

For months patrons of the Long

municipal commission. watched reso-
buttons il passed and demands it made
in their behalf. Within the next three
or four days the patience of the pa
irons will be rewarded
out OF d confusing mass of PROPOSE
tions and propositions there
came a compromise yesterday after
noon between the Rock Island munich
nal commission, acting as committee
of the whole, and John G. Huntoon.
general manager of the Tri-City Rail
way company
The compromise provides:
Double truck street cars for the
Long View line within three or four
days.
Elm street cars 10 run to terminus
on First street and service for west
end of the city on Third and Fourth
avenue lines to remain unimpaired.
Short line, operating between FIT
tenth street, Rock Island. and FIT
teenth street, Moline, over Fourth ave-
nue. tracks. to be continued to the ex,
tent passenger business demands.
General Manager Huntoon, speak
ing for the Tri-City Railway company,
offered this arrangement when no 9TH
er proposition seemed satisfactory. The
municipal commission accepted it. II
will be embodied in the report which
the commission will receive Monday
on the action of the commission as a
committee Of the whole. The report
will be adopted by unanimous vote.
Satisfied With Plan.
City authorities expressed them
selves as entirely satisfied with the
arrangement and it was stated at the
meeting that the change will probably
perfect the street car service in Rock
Island to the degree that no new de-
mands will be expressed for some
time to come.
When the meeting came to order the
commission informed Mr.. Huntoon
that when it consented to the trial OF
the routing plan which would divert
the Elm street cars at Fifteenth street
it had not been familiar with the
franchise which provided that the Elm
street cars operate to the terminus on
First street.
Question whether the commission
was empowered to change the clause
in the franchise dealing with the Elm
