THREE DISTRIOTS TO I'd ONE Action at a Well Attends Meet- ing at Town Hall SI urday Night. While there is much station throughout the state of Illinolon the question of township central Ichools and a bill is being framed .to resent to the next legislature . provl lg for tbeir establishment, the scho town- ship of Andalusia proposes take the bull by the horns and give lprac ticai example of what can H done under existing laws. A mass meeting was held It the town hall Saturday night to left the eentimeat of tbe citizens of thefcwn ship In regard to abandoning tl two country school houses and reslving '-ne town into one large districtlvith the Tillage school house as the seat oi learning. The meeting, was very . largely attended, org; by electing J. G., Britton pre and R. W.

Conditions are peculiarly favorabl to tbe establishment of a central school in Andalusia t6wnship. That division of the county is only about three miles wide and the village of Andalusia is centrally located, with a school building large enough to ac commodate all three districts. Thus, no Immediate expense would be in curred by the adoption of the new system. Besides, the school buildings now in use in the other districts are about ready to tumble- down from the weight f years, and under the present arrange ments will have to be rebuilt soon. So a change at this time will mean a positive saving in building expenses. Of course it will be necessary to provide transportation to and from scheol for most of the country chil dren, out here again the topo ography None of oi tne township is favorable the pupils will have to be brought over tnree miles, and. one back from each end of the township will be sufficient. It is thought the amount saved in doing away with the operating ex penses of the country schools will be more than sufficient to pay for the transportation of the children. Advantage of Central School. Township central schools have proven their superiority in other states, and people are just beginning to awaken to the advantages of their introduction here. In the past the gener U impression has prevailed that pres' jt laws could scarcely be applied to . jir introduction and mainten arj. Therefore, - this progressive move on the part of Andalusia town ship will be watched with interest by other towns in this vicinity, and if successful, will undoubtedly be quick ly followed, whether the next legisla ture takes any action on the question or not.

LARGE CONGREGATIONS HEAR MISS ANNA DOWNEY. The revival meetings at the First Baptist church began yesterday in a very auspicious manner. A large audience was present at the morning service, , Miss Anna Downey, the evangelist, preaching on Spiritual Power." At the close of her sermon she asked all those who were anxious to have power for religious work to come to the front of tne church. It seemed as if the entire congregation responded to. the invitation. The space around the pulpit and the aisles were quickly filled and then all knelt While Castor Simons commended them o God in prayer. The women's meeting in the aiter- oon was oi great interest, iviiss owney pressed home the physical. tellectual and moral needs oi tne nfavored people and urged each lady make a list of hve lammes whom e would try to help to a fetter and a ore profitable life during this year. The auditorium of the church was thronged at the evening service. Miss Jowney preached a sermon of great IDwer on "God's Love for Man and ;au's Need of God." A large number mained for the after-meeting and ven seekers professed faith in rist. Miss Downev more than fulfills the pectations of many of the members olthe church, who had been anxiously awaiting her coming. She preaches enirely without notes and is never at a ss for the right word. Miss Dow nej has a voice of great clearness and flexibility; her gestures are easy and graceful.

GEABD JUET MAT INVESTIGATE ndignant Wives Register a Complaint With the Authorities.. One of the most pungent matters it is expected the present grand jury will be called upon to probe into is the practice of gambling in a small way that is being pretty genrally fol- owed in the smaller towns in the county. While there has always been more or less poker played in the out- Ting villages, it appears mat tne present winter has witnessed an alarming growth in the number and the openness with which the games are conducted. Farmers, who have little to do dur ing the winter months, congregate at some spot where gambling is followed with more or less secrecy, and there frequently remain till well along In tbe morning nours. jueanwnue, tne horses, which are tied some place down tbe street, paw holes in tbe ground and the wives and children at home do up the evening, chores and wait in vain lor "aaa s" return. Famine Broken up. In one place it is reported that two families were broken up during the past week by this sort of thing, and the indignant wives communicated by telephone with the state s attor ney, wow, Beverai gentlemen are wearing an expression of stimulated cheerfulness, and the party who owns the home which has been the scene of the midnight seances is spending his time industriously trying to make his psace with the powers that be. It is intimated that an investiga tion by the grand jury will be apt to reveal the unexpected, and a numoer of pious persons may have some ex planations tomake. As showing the thorough-going depravity of the male citizens of an other community, tne statement oi a virtuous townsman is quoted. He said "There are only two men in this I here town that don t plav poker. That's Preacher and me." FERRY IS TO RUN FASTER. Important Improrementa Being Made on the Aognata.

' Many availed themselves of the in vitation of the Lightning Medicine company to attend the formal opening of the plant in the Industrial Home building Saturday evening. All found ample evidence to convince them that the gentlemen who compose the firm are thoroughly progressive in every respect and that they are pushing a business which is bound to contribute in no small degree to the city's grow ing prestige. As tbe visitors entered the offices at the front of the building they were Ereeted by members of the firm, ater they were offered samples of Mull's Grape Tonic, one of the fore most remedies manufactured, and each was given an appropriate souve nir. The number of people who in spected the plant during the course of the evening attests the Interest and friendly feeling the citizens of Rock Island have for the new concern. Hereafter the doors will not be open to the public. "Richard, the Lion Hearted," the new romantic drama which will be presented at Harper's theatre tonight by Robert Downing and bis company, has received most favorable criticism at the hands of the eastern and south ern press. The play, although taken partly from history, has been so con structed as to open to the public a part of the life of a heretofore maligned king. His crusades into the Holy Land, his courtship and be trothal 10 the Princess Barengaria, of Navarre., her timely rescue of her royal fiancee and many other stirring events, make one of the most pleasing dramas ever offered to the public. Of Mr. Downing's work little can be said, his reputation as a romantic actor and star being too .well known to dilate upon. He has been most successful in procuring a strong sup porting company, and especially so in securing tbe services of Miss Al berta Converse as his leading lady. She is a talented and beautiful young woman, who is said to possess a mag netic personality not seen since the days of Mary Anderson. Charles D. Herman, for hve years leading man with Frederick Warde, occupies the same position with Mr. Downing this season. Uthers in the company, which numbers 20 people, are Lillian Kingsbury, William Somers, Minnie Lindley and others. The charming comedy drama, "Un cle Joeh Spruceby." will be presented at Harper s theatre for one night Thursday, Jan. xu. it nas made a very fine impression in all the New England cities this season and no doubt will be a bigarawing card here. A large company and a carload of special scenery and mechanical effects are necessary and used in the produc tion. Many new and novel specialties are introduced. The company carries its own orchestra of 12 soloists which is one of the features. Prices 10, 20, SO and 50 cents. A welcome announcement for our theatregoers is that Charles Froh- man s production of the famous piay of "The Little Minister" will be seen at the Burtia for one night, Thursday evening. Jan. 10. The engagement will undoubtedly prove to be one of the big events ot the season, and the audience is sure, to be extremely large. The great success achieved by this famous comedy is wen Known and every one is desirous of seeing the play, its presentation nere, we are promised, will be complete in every way. The company that is to be seen is Known to be a most excel lent one, and specially selected by Charles Fro b. man to present the play. m "Miss Hobbs" comes heralded as one of New York's greatest successes, and those who have had the good for tune to see this play can easily tell why this comedy has created such a favorable Impression on the theatre- going public, miss hoods is a young woman who might be made aotruseiy new." She Is a girl with a "mis sion," that thing of masculine terror which bears about tbe same relation to modern society as the Gorgon did in mythological days. Mi6s Hobbs' avowed and particular object in life is to impress upon her women friends tbe tyranny ot man and tne slavery 01 marriage, bbe disrupts the house hold ot the Kingsearls, a newly mar. ned couple, breaks an engagement oe tween another pair, and makes herself altogether thoroughly hated .by tne men concerned. But eventually Aliss Hobbs discovers that her opinions are not so firmly rooted after all, and when tbe right man comes along she decides that she is a goose and admits her surrender by kissing her conquer er before everybody. "Miss Hobbs" will hold tbe boards at the uurtis opera house Wednesday evening.
