The 18th annaal meeting of the Ballding Association League of Illi- neis convened at 10 o'clock this morning at Tnruer hall. There is a good attendance, many of the as so- clatlons throughout the state being represented, f resident G. r. Fen geld, of Rockford, called the gather ing to order. The address of welcome w s made by Mayor J. J. Media, Jr., who said: it certainly affords me great pleas ure to welcome yon to Rock Island I welcome yon not only on behalf of tne city, which I represent, but also on behalf of the building and loan associations of the city. We feel nattered, indeed, that yenr leagne has honored Rock Island with its meeting this year, and I can assure yon we will do all things in our power to make yonr visit here as pleasant as possible. Building and loan associations are very strong In this city. We have three in number with aggregate assets of $1,260,000, Oar city presents a fair representa tion of what may be expected of a place where building associations BJ6 strong. Many of the homes which yon may observe, have been erected through the rSfcsns of bm!M ing associations. Br this agency. hundreds of mechanics, laborers aud bnsinesB men have been enabled to procure for themselves their homes and thus contribute to the property and general prosperity of the city by Deooming taxpayers ana property holders. In fact I know of mo agency that is go condnclve to good citizen ship as is that of building and loan associations. It compels the spend thrift to save, it encourages the homeless to have homes. It pro vides an opportunity for the month ly and weekly savings of thousands of people, who refrain from deposit ing in the banks on account of the smallness of the amennt. Building associations are no longer an experi ment. lLolr stability and useful ness has been established. They have been properly termed 'the pour man's bank, and they stand . closer to the common people than any oth er financial institution,: because they are cooperative in their nature, and every share holder has a voice and vote in their management. "We understand that the object of yonr league is to protect, Foster and tare for the associations cf our state; that it Is your province to ward t H the cruel stabs made at ocr associa tions through unfriendly legislation and otherwise. If such be the case, your object is a most worthy and commendable one. Guard the inter ests of the common people by pro tecting their Institutions, and you will render unto mankind a lasting benefit. I trnwt that your meeting here may be a pleasant and proflta- oie one. we nope tnat your stay will be agreeable and that when von leave us you will carry with you pleasant recollections of our city and people." Reports of OOem. Then followed the annnal reports of President Penfield, Treasurer Albert Barnes, of Decatur; Secretary B. O. Vasen, of Quincy, and the finance committee, rresiaent renneia re- rerrea to tne general work oi tne as sociation during the year and of fered a few timely suggestions. The treasurer's report showed the asgo ciation to be in good financial con. dition. In his report Secretary Vasen says "The past year has been fraught with great changes, both of a polit ical and economio nature; we have gone through a commercial depres sion suoh as this country has never seen or felt before, but with all that the building and loan interest has come through the ordeal unscathed and possibly in better condition than any otner financial institution. While it has been a severe lesson to these Institutions, its effect will be for their betterment. Practices which should not have entered into a legit imate building and loan associations, will now be entirely eliminated for the safety of those who make these institutions the depository of their savings.. A building and loan associa tion is truly a poor man's bank, and to properly protect the hard-earned sav ings of its members, all proper safe guards should be used to guard the tunas so accumulated. Kot alone is ability required in the proper man agement of these associations, bnt honesty. No speculative features should be entertained and no loans granted except by a careful examina tion of the security, and also into the ability of the borrower to sepay same by monthly or weekly pay ments. The loans that are made by these institutions should be to home makers or home seekers. Busi ness, manufacturing and unremu nerative property should be avoided. If thia is followed no fear need be entertained as to the ultimate re sults of an association.'' The re port shows the membership of the state league to be 178, speaks of the death during the year of J. G. Schaar of Chicago, and T. J. Huston, of La mont; refers to the legislation se cured and state that the receipts np to Oct. 30, 1897. were $4,1 34.81. the disbursements being S3.90C.n6. in cluding a deposit front the year be fore cl fdus o, mating a total oi tS 409.71, leaving a balance en hand of 1734 61.

Both papers were discussed by the delegates. The former arous- el an animated disousslon. The meeting then adjourned for dinner.

Blakemore are being sent out for a meeting at the office of Judge Gest in tee conrt house tomorrow even ing at 7:30 for the purpose of con ferring about the building of Mc- Klnley chapel. It seems the Second Baptist con gregation has undertaken a contraot which it has found an impossibility to carry on in attempting to ecu struct a new church, which will cost when completed several thousand dollars. The foundation was put in and op erations were abandoned a fw months ago on aceount of financial embarassments. Work was recently resumed, but complications have again arisen, and now a number of prominent citizens have interested themselves with a view to extending such financial aid as is nocessary to go ahead with the building. W. H. Berry, who had the contract for tbe cutting of the stone, says he has done $85 worth of work, but has not yt received any money.

A jury in the circuit court this morning acquitted Constable Jesse Eastman, ot South Molino, of a charge of assault and battery brought by Hans Jensen. Jensen resides in Stewartviile. Eastman, armed with the necessary documents, went to Jensen's home to collect a bill amounting to 110.16. There was trouble when tbe constable threat, ened to attaeh some of Jensen's property if be did not liquidate forthwith. Jensen secured a spade, so the story goes, and then proceeded to annihilate the officer, who called Harry Wil. liams and P. A. Ross to his assist ance, and proooeded to remove Jen sen's goods. Jensen met with a rather warm reception when he at tempted to interfere, and finally paid the bill before the goods were hauled away. Then he had the constable and his two assistants arrested for assault and battery. The case came up before Justice W. F. Schroeder In this city. Williams and Ross were dis charged and Constable Eastman was aed $10 and costs. He in tnrn ap pealed the case to the circuit court, through his attorneys, McEniry & McEniry. State's Attorney Searle prosecuted. Margaret Wain, of tbls city, was granted a divorce by Jndge Oest from John J. Kain, whom she charg ed with drunkenness. She aays they were married 24 years ago at Davenport and lived together np to last May. They have six children The custody ot the minors was giv. en to Mrs. Kain. who was represent ed in conrt by W. L. Lndolph. The party of gold hunters who rep. resent the Bock Island and Haven port gold hnnting enterprise, hither to referred lo in inn akqis, are cn for Klondike Tbe start w made from Davenport for Seattle Tuesday evening. Tbe prospectors are three in number: H. T. Mant, log. former ly with the General Eieetrie company, W. H. Hick , formerly with the Dav enport Gas company, and the letter's daughter, MISJ Derma mean, auwj go supplied with good outfit, and expect to reach Damson City by Christmas. The trip I p7 is the re.nlt of a movement which has been on toot for some tlv? among Davenport and Bosk Island business men, with the ultimate end of sending a party cf treasure hunt ers into the gold fields. While a regular organization was not founded, those interested in the scheme clubbed together and raised 12,000 tor the preliminary part of It. Tbe organization, II suoh it may be called, which supports the ven ture, consists of some of Davenport's prominent business men as well as a lew Rock Island people, who have interested themselves in the scheme. There ere also several ladies in the list of subscribers to the funds nec essary to outfit and grub stake the party. The promoters of the scheme are keeping quiet concerning their venture just now, as tbey are not anxious to be considered smitten with the gold fever. It there is any gold in the Klon dike country those interested pro pose to have a share of it, and it the scheme fails, they are not desirous of outride consolations. There is plenty of money behind the venture, and if they find what they are going alter, tbe interested parties will In oorporate and organize a regular mining company. Root to Ho Tsnvrlad. The gold huntors will travel from Seattle to Juno, then by rail to Dyea. Here the piarly will strike out across the pass and then by drg sleds to Dawson uitr. The Dsrtv expects to remain in Dawson Cisy until Febru ary, when the work of prospecting lor gold win be commenced. By this plan the local party wilUbe ahead of the game and the crowds which will rush into the Klondike when the Tukon opens in the spring. Thy are well provided with a good outtt purchased in Chicago, and an ttoipate asuccesffal journey en route to tne goia ccias. ii tbe venture is snccesciui, as a interested anticipate, a number of prominent citizens will be lighting cigars witn Hundred dollar aula with in another year. At all events the oompany expoots to knov where it is at by next June. By that time the prospectors will have either found something cr tbe venture will have tailed. Tbe geld hunters have pro visions and supplies to last them un til next October. 75 I 1 L j. m & SOD GXVX3 BEST VALUES.
