EXPECTED RAIN
FAILS TO COME
TO ROCK ISLAND
Yesterday a Little Warmer Than
Before and Prospect of Re-
lief Is Not Bright.

Like the watched pot" which
never boils," the showers and
cooler" forecast by the weather
bureau for. last evening failed to
develop, SO far as Rock Island was
concerned, and once more The Ar
gus feels called upon to disclaim
responsibility for both the predic-
ton and failure of fulfllment.
1t is true that there were scat
tered thunder showers last night,
taking the country over, but none
of them happened to hit this vi
cinity. Instead, the people here
were tantaliZed by the sight of
clouds which formed about sunset
only to spill their contents else
where, leaving this part of the map
breezeless and even less comforta-
BILE than before.
Last night was one of the worst
experienced in Rock Island in a
number of years. Thousands of
people got little sleep and today
they were cross and tired and in
a poor frame of mind to receive
the announcement hereby made
that there is no relief in sight.
Observer Sherier of the United
States weather station opines that
there may be several days of it.
The regular course of events is
for a period Of low barometer. such
as the last few days have brought,
to be succeeded for a period with
higher readings. Unfortunately,
this time a second low" period
now is crowding the first across
the continent with hardly any
measure of relief between. There
was a slight turn for the better
last night and this morning wealth
er vanes pointed north for a while,
but as Goldberg says, it didn't
mean anything"
Each Shares Blame.
No instrument and no human
guess can accurately give detailed
weather changes "a hours or more
in advance knowing this, people
who denied themselves an outing
yesterday afternoon in the fear of
showers must accept a share of
the responsibility if they lost any
thing by so doing.
Yesterdays maximum tempera-
ture was a fraction of a degree
above Sc, setting a new mark for
the season. Coming with a hot
wind it caused plants to wither

breaches at Old Rink.

Even were my body destroyed,
my spirit would still move on"
This was the reply of Rev Jimmy
Delk, evangelist, when asked if he
would continue his meetings at the
tabernacle at Sixteenth street and
Fifth avenue, after he was badly
beaten Up this morning by an as
sailant whose name he did not men
ton.
He was brought into the police
station for treatment. He received
three blows on the head by a per-
son not known to the evangelist,
he said.
Delk was attacked at the corner
OF Sixteenth street and Fourth ave-
nue., one block from his tabernacle,
the old rink. The assailant fed.
The person who assaulted him
used brass knuckles. The evangel-
lists right eye was completely clos
ed and a severe cash was cut in
his lip. The police station was
spattered with blood from the
Mounds.
The evangelist said he did not
know the name of the person who
hit him, but that he would recog-
nize him upon sight. He admitted
that he had had a quarrel with the
person before, which was remarked
by the man who accosted him this
morning. AS to the nature Of the
quarrel, the evangelist made no
statement.
Tried to Defend Self.
The evangelist made an effort to
defend himself when he realized
what was going on He reached
for his pocket knife, but before it
could be brought out his face was
mashed in.
He asserted that the accident
would not prevent him from carry
ing on his evening sermons He
said that even were his body de-
stroyed, the spirit would still move
on.

will be seen for the last time to-
night at the Majestic theatre. This
picturesque scene was photograph

Farnum one of the greatest oppor-

tray the emotional and the heroic
and he does both superbly.

FALL AT HER HOME

Mrs. Josephine Murdoch. aged

presumably caused by paralysis.
Mrs. Murdoch has been using

believed she suffered another
stroke. She is now paralyzed from

morrow at the SpShcer Square.
Princess Marie Pavlovna, be-
trothed to Michail Koloyar, awaits
the arrival of her fiance with Gag
erness. In the palace of the prin-
cess a great ball is in full swing,
while outside, in the city streets,
the pent-up fury of the mob is rous-
ed by the verbal lashes of their
leader, Kcslof, who is acting upop
the instructions of the guiding
spirit of the insurTection, Thee
Kameneff. As the princess and Mi
chail are talking on the balcony Of
their coming marriage, a prowling
anarchist, armed with a hand gren-
ade, sees them from the garden be-
low and hurls his missile of death
-
her, but goes through the window
into the ballroom, where it eX-
plodes, dealing death to many OF
the guests, among them the mother
of the princess. The princess, torn
from the side of her dead mother
by Michail, manages to make her
escape, but is separated from him,
while he is engaged in fighting OF
their assailants Michail, after the
departure of the princess, gets
safely away from the palace and
DISCUSSES himself in the clothes of
drunken rioter. He wanders far
in search OF his lost fiancee and
eventually, as a possible means of
finding a clue to her whereabouts
he becomes a member of the Anar-
chist club under the rule of Kane

register so that they may be ma
tionalized. BY Matchmaking them,
he intends to force any woman to
become the wife OF any man who
wants her No further marriage
ceremony is necessary. Meanwhile,
the princess, now disguised as a
peasant girl, is established IN a
small store in neighboring town.
Into the peace of the village comes
the decree. The princess refuses
to register, incites the other women
to follow her example, and plans
to smuggle them safely across the
border to the next province. KAN
eneff comes to the store and rec
the princess, tries to force
her to register. Michail has heard
evil stories about his f1ancee, and
when he finds her at last, he sees
her in the arms of Kameneff Even
tually, things straighten themselves
out and the princess and Michail
are reunited. but not before there
have been many scenes of tense ac-
ton and reels of thrills.

CITY WORK GOES
A-BEGGING HERE

That nobody in the Timing or roof
ing business wants a job, or is in need
If work" was the apparent opinion OF
he City Council as expressed at last
nights meeting of the Mayor and
City Council.
Recently an advertisement for bids
was inserted in the columns OF the
local press for the following
Proposals to be received by the
city clerk until IL o'clock, October
18th, to paint roof of Municipal build
ing and Market house with linseed oil
md Princess Metal mixed to a good
body; also alternate bids to cover said
roofs with some other material"
Yesterday at the time for the open
ing of bids, not single bid had been
received and it will probably be neces-
sary to readvertise. The conclusion is
there are no journeymen workmen in
this line in Annapolis, or all work
men are engaged on big jobs of roof
repairs, or nobody wants work, or is
willing to work 1t is probably the
first time there has been an advertise
nent for proposals for city work with
no replies.

GOOD MEN FOR TIE STATE
HOUSE

Mr.. Richie and his running
mates have found in Anne Arun-
del united party, and it is due
them that no lack of effort on the
part of any Democrat or of any
voter who is inclined to support
them on November 4 should be
responsible for an unsatisfactory
poll
The people of this county have
a peculiar interest in the next
Governor. He is made by the
State constitution citizen of the
county during his term, and his
residence is fixed in Annapolis.
The people of the State at large
do not come into the same close
contact with the Governor as
those of Anne Arundel. Our vot-
ers not only, in common with
those of the whole State, select
a Governor, but they also select
citizen who is to be one of them,
and to bear unique relation to the
City of Annapolis and the county
of Anne Arundel as their head
and spokesman.
Mr.. Richie, who as Attorney
General in the Harrington ad-
ministration, has spent much of
his time and performed much of
his work at Annapolis for nearly
four years. is especially qualified
and trained to occupy the Execu-

IN PRICE 90 PER CENT

That there will be an increase in the
cost of automobile tires within the
next few days is an assured fact, &C
cording to a statement of local deal
err, j. T. Mcmahon, West street, who
said to a Capital representative this
morning that there will be an in.
crease in the cost of tires from fifteen
to twenty per cent within the next
thirty days"
When asked what was the reason
for the raise in the price of tires, Mr.
Mcmahon said: 1.-THE raise is due
partially to the increase in the cost of
crude rubber, the increased cost ci
production and the numerous strikes
among the workmen in the maEufac
turing centres the strikes having beer
general all over the country the past
summer

ing the purchase of tires to do so a.
once. and not to delay longer. If they
use a car they must have tires and it
is best to buy now for 1t is an assured
fact that already some of the dealers
have put up the price of tires, which
all must do in the next 80 days, or
less, at an increased cost of 10 10 20
per cent per tire. Some stock books
issued this month and dated October
