Sunday last was a full day from
Sunday School in the morning to
church service in the evening. Some
thing was going all the time. In the
morning the church faced some of its
needs. In the afternoon the various
comittees and groups planned the
coming years work. In the ewing
DR.. L. A. McKeever was the speaker.
The Rev. Geo. S. Hares, pastor of
the First Methodist Church, Corning,
New York, and Mrs. Hares, both
friends of the pastors family, were
guests Sunday and Monday, and saw
the church through this day of ex-
tensive work.
Sunday School at GAS next Sun
day. We join in the union Memorial
service at the Stand at eleven O'Clock.
Epworth League at seven o'clock and
evening church service at eight
o'clock.
The young people of the church
l..
had a picnic supper Tuesday evening,
in the church basement followed by
indoor games. This was given in
honor of young people leaving for
this summer and those just back
home for the summer.
Miss Tillie Frank and Miss Schoen-
feldt have gone on visit to Beloit,
the old home Of Miss Schoenfeldt.
The late rains have made the
lawns of blue grass grow rapidly and
require frequent cutting.
The post Office was flooded again
this week, with mail order price lists
Oliver Arnold, former mail carrier
on the South Side, is on duty this
week, while the regular carrier, Mr.
Van Doren, is taking a vacation.
A. L. Beatty left Wednesday, for
trip 30 his old home in Canada,
near Niagara Falls, to come back in
the fall with his bride. Before leav-
ing he purchased the lot and a half
belonging to Mrs. Winchester,
through the Freese agency, on East
Normal avenue, which now gives him
three lots on which he will build an
up to date residence.
Monday, Marshal Weltz made a
haul, capturing two boys about the
age of twelve years, one a Falken-
stein, the other a Staab, and they
were accused and pelad guilty to en-
tering the Cox store, Oshant's store,
the Winters store, the News office
and several other places at night, and
plfering. The Falkenstein boy was
( paroled temporarily and the Staab
boy sent to the State Industrial
Reform School at Topeka, to go to
school few years and learn honesty
under state control. It Is surmised
that older heads We're directing the
boys, but they would not squeal, ex-
cept on each other. Why don't the
merchants go together and each chip
in a dollar for the arrest and convic-
ton of any store thief? 1t would
cost but little, would be a mutual pro-
/. lection, and also an inspiration to the
officers to hunt up the wrong doors
and put stop to this pilfering. The
Marshal IS to be Congratulated or

that part of the deviltry.

Rock Island coal dealers will

night to discuss the strike threat
ened in the union mines in Illinois
fields April l. Miners will resist
a drastic cut in wages.
Non-union mines have already
put a wage cut in force, and on
April l, the contracts with union
miners expire. Union field operat-
ors plan a cut then. Press reports
indicate that a strike will be called
if the cut is made.

last three months as the maximum

supply to cover that period.
W. G. Block & Co. announced to-
day it would fill emergency bins TO

company furnishes the Standard

tons as a reserve stock.
The Rock Island lines have
