TWO GIRLS DROWN Pleasing Program With Music Addresses Followed by V Dancing. and Every available bit of space in Odd Fellows' hall was occupied last even lit"- by members of the Fraternal Tribunes and their guests assembled to honor the supreme officers by a complimentary entertainment. The affair was given under the auspices of Rock Island tribunal, No. 1, and prov ed one of the most enjoyable events in a long series of good times. Blen d's orchestra was engaged and there was musie in plenty for the program and for dancing. liobert Rexdale, the supreme sec retary, delivered the address of wel come to the Tribunes ami their guests at the entertainment, lie spoke in Ins usual happy vein, making every body feel that the welcome was broad and deep, and paving a pretty tribute to Rock island as the home of the order. In closing, the supreme sec re tary tickled the fancy of the audi ence with what he had to say about woman as a factor in lodge life. Since the advent of women's clubs," said Mr. Rexdale, "one hears ood deal about woman's sphere. Clubland lias brought out manv a tlower that seemingly was born to blush unseen. The. same is true of lodgeland, since numerous societies now accord to the fair sex. euual rights an;l privileges with the erst while lords of creation, and one of woman's spheres today, in which she finds much that is truly beneficial, is unquestionably the sphere of frater nity. She lives in it, glories in it, and enjoys therein abundant opportunity for doing good. 'They talk about a woman's sphere As though it had a limit. There's not a place in earth or heav en. There's not a task to mankind given. There's not a joy, there's not a woe. There's not a whisper, yes or no. There's not a death, there's not a birth. That lias a feather's weight of worth. Without a woman in it. Truth la MnM. I here is truth as well as poetry in these lines. Woman is in it, all the way through, and 'the hand that rocks tlfc cradle is the hand that rules the world. In lodge lift", under t li new regime, she is the bright partic ular star in all the good times. Just fancy a box supper, or a lawn social, without a woman i:i it.

She can moe the previous question in debate and tie the parliamentary law into a bow-knot. Her feminine instincts may lead her to shy at a little gray mouse, high up on the pantry shelf. but she can look the fiercest goat right in the eye. even the kind that wears alfalfa whiskers half a vara long, and talk him into a quiescent and reminiscent state As a worker on committees, whether in the church, the lodge, or the club, woman' is a peach right otT of the green bough. Her sphere i indeed, unlimited, and if it were not for woman there would be no nice lunches on meeting nights.no mystic seven drill teams to dazzle the mascu line eye. and oftentimes there wouldn't be a ouoriini without her.

Chicago: John Pclletierrt One of the most shocking drowning accidents that has taken place in the river in this vicinity lately occurred last evening at the foot of Bock Isl and street. Davenport, when Elsa Morey anil Clara Luethjen. of Daven port, lost their lives by the overturn ing of a gasoline launch. A party of six people, Elsa Morey, Clara Lueth jen, (iertie Stark, Otto Haas, Fred Sunier and Will Stark, had started out in a gasoline launch belonging to Otto Haas for an evening's pleasure trip on the Mississippi. The launch is kept in a boat house at the foot of Kock Island street and some diflicul ty was experienced in getting the en- Headed for Iturre. When the launch finally started ii was headed straight lor the iiarge which is moored alongside the steam er Ten Broeck at that point and the M-rson steering had directed its course so as to nist miss the outer part of the barge, when the girls be came irightcuc;! and ci owned towards the outer side of the launch. '1 his movement on their p:'it, together with the swift current which is Mow ing at that point, capsized me launch, which turned completely over in the water. The three girls were thrown far out in the water, which is IS du- .0 feet deep at that point, and as they were una Die to swim they were ai on-e carried under by the force of the current. Otto Haas remained in the launch when it turned over, and was carried under the barge and nearly lost his life before he could extricate himself mil come to the surface. As soon as he got out on the barge die noticed Celtic Stark struggling in the water and threw out a pole, which she gras-od and was drawn out half drowned.
