The mayor stated that this meeting was called for the purpose of acting upon important matters concerning the Moline Public Library, and such other business as may properly come before the meeting. The clerk read an ordinance providing for an annual appropriation for the Moline free public library.

The mayor stated for information that the object in passing this ordinance was to guarantee an annual income of 5,500 to be used exclusively for maintenance of Moline's free public library, which ordinance is to be submitted to Mr. Carnegie by the library board with a view of securing an increased donation from him, to enable the board to erect the building proposed, as per plans now in their hands.

BUY ONE NOW At Carlson 424 15th Street dear, have you used Jinks soap?" jestingly, you see, but withal eyeing you clc sely. Of course, she knows that you have no, bathed, and you know that she knows it. But you haven't the courage to confess, end so you answer: "Yes; I was already up when you called me. I'm afraid we are a little late this morning, aren't we?" The good woman does not contradict your word, but she knows that you flr-ve played hookey, and as she passes near you she remarks to her daughter.

"Old Mr. Tarplin was at the festival Is si night, and you should have smelt I declare, I don't believe he had taken a bath for a week. Dear" she turns to you, significantly "you should use more soap when you bathe." If you have the good sense to take this hint it will sive you the pain of a broader one at sume future time. Any how, it's either bathe according to the arbitrary hard soap schedule or a di vorce, sooner or later. But who ever heard of the daily or even weekly bath in the good old soft soap days? You didn't need it then Soft soap, the kind your mother used to make, would not only remove the surface dirt; it wrould take off the scurf skin, bore down into the pores and spread around under the skin, and acti.ally eat up every particle of dirt or dead matter, leaving the whole body one smooth, shining expanse of cleanli ness; a hard, slippery surface upon which no dirt could find an anchorage.

No need to bathe often then. A few times during the warm weather was enough for the most fastidious. Now, while I am not disposed to precipitately repudiate the terrifnc arraignment that Mr. Livesey has thun dered against education as the prolific curse of civilization, still I beg that he, as well as the people generally, give my hard soap theory a candid consider at on before proceeding to do away with the public school system. TEAMSTEBS EABNINQ $5 A DAY GO OUT ON STBIKE Teamsters employed by the Barber Asphalt Co.

in hauling material from the plant to where the paving work is being carried on at Fifteenth street, objected to the check that was being kept upon the time they consumed in making trips. The company insisted on the enforcement of this rule and as a. result the teasmters went out on a strike yes terday afternoon. Between ten and tv. enty men are concerned in the wall- Ol'.

The teamsters were receiving $5 a day and with these wages it seems al most incredible that a man would ob ject to a check being placed upon his time. The asphalt company put other teams at work today and the work is being pushed as before. OPENS GATE OF WAGON AND MELONS FALL OUT When Guy Guilfoyle, a young lad. saw a load of watermelons coming down the street yesterday, he either in a spirit of mischief or with a prospect of a watermelon feast, opened the end gate of the wagon, letting part of the lead drop to the ground. The load belonged to George Alder, a peddler, and when he -saw the havoc wi ought by the young fellow, to say that he was mad is putting it mildly.

The police were complained to. but this morning the matter was straight ened out by C. E. Battles, who paid for the dozen or more melons that were rumed. MEETINGS AND NOTICES.

PHONE TO FARMERS Admirable New Service Arrang ed by Local Weather Bureau With Bell People. OVER ALL RURAL LINES Daily Weather Observations to Be An nounced to All Subscribers Where Central Union Controls System. Oberver J.

M. Sherier, of the Daven port weather bureau, has completed an arrangement with Manager W. B. Rob-eils, of the twin-city lines of the Centra! Union Telephone whereby the daily weather forecast will be sent out ever all the rural lines in this county controlled by the Central Union people. The arrangement contemplates for warding the forecaster's observations to the Rock Island central office, where the; will be transmitted by the operator to the central office of each of the country lines.

"Central" at each of the country lines will call each subscriber to announce the forecast, except that where there are party lines a new sig nal to be known as the "weather" signal will be rung and one reading of the forecast will suffice for all the subscribers on that particular line. The same rule will apply to each party line of each system. With this arrangement not only is the value of the weather bureau more thoroughly demonstrated, but a new use of the rural telephone is discovered. The value of the service to the formers is easily appreciated. MICHAEL CARMICHAEL IS ONE OF NEWEST NOVELS A novel entitled "Michael Carmi-chael" in which the principal character exhibits the traits of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the latest work of Miles Saiidys. The change in the character of Dr. Jekyll to that of Mr. Hyde was wrought by a drug, but in this work of Mr Sandys' there is a conflict between right and wrong in the character of Michael Carmichael which is most wonderfully told in the story.

Michael Crrmichael's is a pliant character, which might have been molded to make of him either a thoroughly good or a thoroughly bad man. tendency is toward the good, but he talis under the influence and control of a man who is wholly bad and is compelled to do bis A crime committed Intent has subjected him to this control, and his abject fear of what might be done to him holds him under the power of a desperado. He falls in love, with a highly religious woman, and for her sake attempts to break from the web in which he is caughL The story is an intensely interesting or.e as well as a free study of the power of conflicting passions.

Hots j5Sfelt? fill, Discussion by E. H. Putnam, Versatile Moliner, in Chicago Record-Herald. REPLY TO MARYLAND MAN Advocate of Abolition of the Public Schools Reminded of Days of Soft Soap. Edward Howell Putnam, superintendent of the Moline Plow Co.

foundry and a versatile writer whose contribu tions are often seen in metropolitan papers, writes in the Chicago Record Herald the following amusing burlesque in reply to an eastern writer whe ascribes wrong causes for present ills or defects in our social system: Anybody with half an eye can see ef fects plainly enough, and, unfortunate ly, most people imagine themselves able to trace them to their primary causes. Just now Francis B. Livesey, of Sykesville, is spending some money and much enegry in an aggreS' sive crusade against the public school sy.item, under the impression that edu cation is unfitting the rising generation for work, and that its influence is gener ally demoralizing. In support of his sweeping arraignment of the institu tion, he points out the alleged fact that. "Czolgosz got his education in the pub lic schools." If this is true (and Mr.

Livesey as-sureiS us that Drs. Fowler, Grego and Putnam, the specialists, corrobate this) it will doubtless prove a staggering blow to the public school system. I am undecided in my own mind, how ever (I never like to. jump to conclu sions) as to the advisability of a gen eral suspension of the system until we shall have inquired more minutely into this particular case of Czolgosz. Especially, as it can be shown, I think, that, some of our public school gradu ates turn out to be fairly reputable citizens.

Anyhow, the institution has numerous friends, whose opinions mer it our respectful consideration. Meanwhile, I beg to call Mr. Live sey's attention to another circum stance of modern civiliaztion that in my opinion exerts a far more demor alizing influence upon the masses than does the public school, and that is, the substitution in advanced communities of hard soap for soft. Let Mr. Livesey hark back to the good old days when the farm hand every summer regularly took a pail of water from the rain water barrel at the corner of the house and a big chipful of soft soap from the soap barrel in the woodshed and went cut behind the barn and washed himself all over.

Tell me, wrere there any anarchists in the country in those days? Happy Old Times. In those happy days, when the leach log in the back yard dripped its detergent liquor through six feet depth of wood ashes down into the cast iron kettle under the bark spout; when the grease tub under the kitchen window beside the swill barrel accumulated its annual fill of soap grease were there in those days any aggressive socialists preaching the gospel of ildeness and beefsteak twice a day? Were the country boys then deserting the farm and flocking to the cities? No, indeed, Mr. Livesey. But the public school was with us then! It had been doing its alleged deadly and demoralizing work for generations! In fact, everything was much the same as now, barring and mark this well barring the absence of hard soap. The closer we examine the question the more apparent it becomes, Mr.

Livesey, tJat bar soap is the real cause of our modern degeneracy instead of the free school, as you erroneously assume. Come with me. Mr. Livesey, into a lady's chambers and I will show you the evident cause of the decadence of our youth. What do we see? Bath bath tubs, as white and clean as soup tureens! and hard soapT WThere is the yellow bowl of soft soap that graced the window sill of our mother's chamber? Echo answers: "Where!" But there; in a nickel-plat ed soap basket, or soap rack, or what ever they call it, is a cake of hard soap.

Smell of it! Scented soap! Not con tent with relegating the soft soap of tb sane and virtuous days of our sturdy, honest ancestors to the forgotten past, they fain would forget the very smell of itl And when you take a bath with this scap, the pores, those scavenger sluices of the skin, get filled with the stuff, plugging them up and thus impeding their hygienic function. Furthermore, the whole body becomes coated with a sticky, oleaginous substance to which the dust and dirt cling, with the result trat next day, you must take another bath! And so, now, instead of a bath two or three times a year, it's a. bath from fifty to 350 times a year, or your wife won't live in the house with you! Soap and Divorce. Talk about the public school system causing divorce, Livesey! I tell you that hard soap had caused more divorces and more various kinds of deviltry than any other thing of our "modern civilization. Hard soap makes a liar of many an otherwise innocent man.

A man has got to support his family, and he can't work all the time while bathing half the timeand so on some unlucky morning you get down to break Big August Bargains We've reduced the price of most of our clothing at least one-third.
