LAY PLANS FOR
CONFERENCE Of
YOUNG PEOPLE
Rrseutiye Board Of School Assecia-
ton Discusses Trimming Of
Teachers.

The February session Of the ex-
erutiye board OF the Rock Island
county Sunday School association
yas held last evening at the Y. w.
a A., being entertained at supper
preceding the meeting by Miss
Georgia First Of Rock Island, Rock
Island county superintendent Of
Young peoples work. Further plans
looking to the establishment OF a
raining school for Sunday school
teachers already in the work were
discussed under the leadership Of
Il c. Fisher, Rock Island superin-
ieudent Of schools, but no definite
policy outlined.
Following the executive session
The officers met with representa-
lives from the churches OF Moline,
East Moline and Rock Island, a
group OF wideawake young people
having assembled to boost the COM
INK young peoples conference at
The First Congregational church OF
Moline on March Is and 16. The
young people organized into groups,
each captained by member of the
adult classes. Every Sunday school
in the county will be visited by
these groups, and next Sunday
morning the Sunday schools in the
upper end Of the county will be Wis
lied, where the groups will put on
q pep advertising campaign in en-
listing advance registration of del
egates. Seven cars will leave the
Moline Y at $3.50 Sunday morning,
and on the return about / o'clock
a hot lunch will be served at the
First Congregational church, when
the young people will exchange ex-
periences. The lower end OF the
county and the cities will be COW
cred the following Sundays. Last
evening two of the groups staged
an impromptu visit to a school, the
audience representing the school,
and promising speakers were re-
yealed.
This is the first Of young peo-
pie conferences under the direction
OF the state young peoples division
head, D. II. Wing, the Illinois asso-
citation not having special depart
ment head for young people until
this year. Three parallel confer
ences will be held in the state. and
this vicinity is fortunate in having
one of them brought to our doors.
Speakers Of national prominence
will be heard, including r. A.
Waite, International superintendent
Of young peoples work. and Miss
Elsie M. Clark of Minneapolis, for
merly division head there of this
work.
The movement is inter -denomina-
tional and the hearty cooperation
Of all the schools is asked and ex-
pected. 1t is expected that the con-
ference will be attended by 400 del
egates, Mercer, Henry. Whiteside
Carroll and Rock Island counties
being especially interested in the
conference in Moline. The Illinois
tri-cities should lead in an "over-
the-top' enrolment. Lets go is
already the slogan inaugurated.

taineers banded together and fought to the
death. One of these terrific battles is
shown in this picture. 1t is fought in the
mountain district in the old feudal style,
men hiding behind rocks and bushes, firing
wherever they saw a head exposed, or sus-
pected that someone was lurking. Natur-
ally no bullets were used when men fired
point blank at each other. but they were
used on occasion and the chips from rocks
are seen flying where the bullets strike
Just above the mems heads. Men are seen
apparently hit, tumbling down the ravines
into creeks, and falling on all sides. Des-

AT THE RIALTO.

The theatre going. as well as the read
ing public of the country, generally &C.
velop a certain characteristic taste for a
particular brand of entertainment at
periods. For some time past. and more
than ever at present. they have been clam
oring for mystery stories-especialy those
detective yarns with a big mystery ele-
nent The Vitagraph company with laud-
able foresight felt the pubic pulse on
this when they started production on their
new serial. The Invisible Hand" starring
none other than the popular Moreno, the
first episode of which will be presented at
the Rialto theatre today.
Here is detective story of the type
demanded. filed TO overflowins with pleas
urably thrilling mystery. And to make 1t
still better, woman is one OF the biggest
elements OF mystery in the serial. In
fact, her Characterization is the one around
which most Of the complex and battling
parts of the story resolve. Right in the
second episode this mystery begins to as
sert itself. Moreno. in the role of John
Sharpe a famous detective, starts on a
mission Of wiping out a famous band of
crooks. They counter-plot against him and
he is captured. Just as death faces him.
while helplessly bound and gagged. a mys-
terious hand womans-comes to his
rescue as it clasps knife that sewers
his bonds and sets him free.

overfowed from the Caddo lakes, the
water coming In from the back Of the
plantations and pouring down into the
river with fall often of four feet.
So. IL this dam should raise the river
two feet. and this is not possible, no
injury could accrue Our explanation
Of this peculiar kind OF overflow Is
this: Much the larger portion Of Red
River waters run through the Caddo
lakes, which cover a space of fifty or
sixty square miles. and when the river
becomes very full. with the low flooded
land. equals 100 square miles. At such
Il time. II high wind comes from the
northwest. the water Is Piled In q vast
wave Oh the southeast. and an over
liow Is the consequence. And such Is
the consequence even with a high wind

ceases and the wave returns

teal purposes. We are not in favor Of
delay when delay is dangerous but at
present we think 1t an entirely unnec-
essary expense to the state to call an

In the meantime we think 1t necessary
