There is a growing impression that the Kock Island . team did not receive fair consideration at the meeting of the directors of the league in MoHne last-week and it is probable that the action then taken will be reconsider ed for the benefit of the Centrals. As there is but one more series of match es to be played the season will prob ably- be finished without further dis pute and the reckoning will come af terward. Centrals Ilreak Records .

It can not be said that there is a .dearth of domestic help in the city, but the scarcity of reliable and experienced servant girls is entailing not only great annoyance but ositive hard ship upon many a householder who is dependent, upon thir assistance. Everywhere the same explanation of this scarcity is advanced. The fac tories, it is said, are gradually but surely supplanting the household as a field for the work of girls and young women. Each month sees new re cruits drawn from the private family and hotels, to enlist in the great ar my of ojeratives of the manufactur ing institutions. Factories in Kock Island that employ female help have added to their force steadily during the past few years. The incentive is not hard to find. The- factory girl enjoys fairly good wages, she has fewer hours of toil, Turning gray ? Why hot have the early, dark, rich color restored? It's easily done with Ayer's Hair Vigor. more time for amusement and recrea tion, and more privileges than the "girl in .service" in the private family, hotel and restaurant. Uppermost in the minJs.of most girls of the present day is an instinct ive horror of the work of a servant. To many the servant's duties are re garded as "menial" and drudging, which are associated in their minds with something humiliating and de grading. The long hours of the do mestic, with little. time to devote to heir own wants and pleasures are contrasted with the shorter hours of the factory, the opportunity to in dulge in the occasional holiday and the Sunday recreations an;l amuse ments, together with the fancied feel ing of independence the factory job assures, causes the girl who is choos ing a means of supporting herself to naturally turn to the factory.

What Union Mission Has Done Dviring Past Year At the recent annual meeting of the Union Mission the foiowing report covering the year from Jan. 20, 1902, to dan. 20, 1903, was submitted by Mrs. E. . E. Bartholomew, the secre tary: To the Members and Friends of the Mission; Owing to the fact that the work of the mission in various ways during the past year has been inter? rupted, the task of collecting items and tlates for this report has been la borious and difficult, ami not as sat isfactory as ve would like to make it. Relieving that in the main it is cor rect, we submit the following for your consideration and for the infor mation of the public: During the year the board of di rectors held 12 regular meetings and three special meetings, with an average attendance of eight members. All of the4 meetings-.were .hanuoujous and pleasant. The board does.-, not claim that till of its transactions arc above criticism, still they acted in good faith and did the best they could under the circumstances. Va rious old bills amounting in all to $580.35 included in Hie sum total of this report were urged upon the board for. payment. Some of these bills were earnestly discussed pro an I'coit; but they were finally approved, the members of the board believing that it was better to suffer in the right than to reject what had at least a shadow of justice in the claim. It has been the constant aim of the board to inaugurate a better system in the work and business of the mis sion. During the year there were regis tered in the Mission home 55 children from various parts of the county. Homes were found for ten children. two were replaced nd 30 were hoard ed ami were returned to parents or guardians, seven remaining in the home. There was some sickness in the home, but it is a matter for de vout gratitude that death did not visit the home. All the children are under the care of a competent nurse and matron. At different times the home has re ceived numerous and substantial do nations of various k'mds, such as bills donated, provisions, bedding, clothing, kitchen supplies, dishes. furniture, wall paper, etc. During the holiday season gifts were generous beyond our exieetations. We have not space here to enumerate ail the gifts and the names of the donors, but we wish to make special mention of two sets of silver knives and forks, and two sets of silver teaspoons, all front the Silver Cross circle of the King's Daughters. The names of do nors and the articles donated are registered in a special book kept for the purpose. Donations of su plies of all kinds are 'highly appreci ated and kindly solicited. Two of our city physicians. Dr. .1. P. Comegys anil E. lirndford. kindly gave their professional service gra tuitously. The city council donated the as sessment for the laying of water main on street upon the property of the Mission. Mrs. Mary Wadsworth do nated the fixtures for fitting up a bathroom in the home. These dona tions were highly appreciated and the board tendered a vote of thanks to the mayor and city council and to Mrs. .Wadsworth for their generous gifts. It is fitting in this connection to state that the president of the board, Mrs. (lest, has donated much precious time and labor for the best interests of the children. Though receiving no remuneration for her services, she has the higher reward which He be stows who said, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me."

WILL TRY AGAIN 1IARCH 4 Lege Than a Dozen Delegates Assem ble in Response to Call. The convention called at the meet ing in this city two weeks ago to nominate a union labor municipal ticket failed to accomplish its pur pose last evening. It was to have been held at Industrial hall at f o'clock last evening, but at that hour there were less than a dozen dele gates present and nothing was done. W. II. Allum, president of the Har bers union, called the meeting to or der after it became evident that no more were coming and explained the purpose of the gathering. He was chosen temporary chairman. Mr. Al lum stated that to his knowledge not over one-third of the unions of the city had acted in appointing delegates to the convention. He was not in fa- worth sent in her resignation as fi nancial agent to the board, which was accepted. April 22, Mr. (iraham re signed as superintendent of the Mis sion. Neither of these vacancies was filled during the year, Mrs. Wester man acting as solicitor from Feb. 5 to July 10, and the president and members of the board transacting ihe business of the superintendent. In dune, 11)02. death took away our! highly esteemed treasurer, .1. V. Ib;l inson, whose ioss is keenly felt and deeply mourned. Suitable resolutions were adopted by the board which were placed upon the minutes, pul- lished in the city papers and a copy was sent to the bereaved family. H. K. Casteel was apxiuted to till the office of treasurer. At the August meeting Mrs. Fer guson resigned the secretaryship, and also her membership on the board. -Mrs. M. F. Bartholomew was elected secretary for the unex pired term. Mrs. Alphoiise Moscn felder was appointed to fill the vacan cy on the board. Mrs. Fricbcl having removed from the city, 1'ev. Shucy was elected to fill the vacancy on the board. II. K. Casteel was elected a member of the board. Aug. 10 Mrs. Westerman resigned as matron. There being only two children in the home at this time the home was closed for repairs. Meanwhile the children were cared for by the board at the home of Mrs. Hcndren, of this city. The home was reopened Oct. 1, Mrs. Pierce and her husband taking charge. Mrs. Pierce serving in the capacity of ma tron. The two children in charge o( Mrs. Hcndren were returned to the home. Various improvements of the pro perty, were made, consisting of the painting of the house, remodeling of several rooms, fitting tip a 'bathroom, laying a water main to connect with the city waterworks, sewer connec tions, and other improvements. The kindergarten committee hav ing found upon investigation that there was no pressing need- of the kindergarten held in the public school building under the support of the mission, it was decided to discon tinue this branch of the work tem porarily. The board feeling that there was no longer any demand for the form of aid for which the rug works had been carried on for some time in connec tion with the mission, the machinery ami fixtures were sold and the build ing was leased to the purchaser of the tixt ures. Ian. 17, 1903. Mrs. Pierce resigned as matron and Mrs. Dennis wns appoint ed to take charge of the home until the committee could make a perma nent appointment. In conclusion we would say that the soeietv is under many obligations to the public for substantial aid in the work of the Mission. We wish to make special mention of services rendered by Uev. Shtiey, who delivered an able lecture for the benefit of our work. We are also under obligations to Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Blakemore for their interest and cooperation in the work. and for the management of a success ful runimnge sale. To all of our friends who have so generously help ed us we record our gratitude. To my coworkers of the board wish to say that this past year will not be counted a blank vear. for we have the consciousness that di rectly and indirectly we have been instrumental in exerting a good in fluence upon the lives of a number of children, the results of which eternity alone can disclose.

He therefore moved that the convention adjourn till Wednesday, March 4, at 8 V. m. The motion carried. In the meantime an effort will be made by those interested to secure the cooperation of unions that were not represented last evening.

Brittaiu Cured of Rheuma tism After Seven Long Years of Su ffering. So much lias been written concern ing the wonderful healing powers of the Bov Phenomenon snd the many narvelous cures he has accomplished in this city in the last two weeks that to those who reside out of the city it reads like a romance. So surprising have been some of the cures that not only the public but the medical world stand aghast in utter surprise and bewilderment at a power so wonder fully potent as to be able to break up congestion and restore paraly.ed limbs with onlv- a few treatments. Scores t,f chronic diseases tjiat have for years defied the combined skill of the medical world have lu'en brought to his piivate office at the Harper house and in a remarkably short time those who were nearly blind have Im-cu jmidc to see, the deaf to hear and paralyzed limbs have taken on new life, rheumatic and neuralgic pains have disappeared, nervousness allayed. So many strange occurrences go the rounds of the press and are pub lished as facts that people become skeptical. But on one subject especi ally skepticism is rapidly disappear ing. This is due to the actual experi ence of our citizens and their public testimonials regarding them. The doubter is forced to believe in the face of such evidence as this. The public statement of a reputable citi zen living right here at your home and who has lived here most of her life, one whom you can see every day. leaves no ground for the skeptic to stand on. The following letter of gratitude is self-explanatory, as the writer, Mrs. Brittain, is too well known for fur ther comiiient: "To the Public: T. Mrs. Matilda Itrittain. of ISy secmvl avenue, a res ident of Roek Island for the past IS years, feel it my duty both to the public and the Boy Phenomenon to make this public statement. For the past seven years I have been a great and constant sufferer with rheuma tism; the pains extended over the en tire body, but. were worse on hands and feet and back. 1 had tried many kinds of medical treatment, but could get no material benefit, and 1 lived in fear of never again being free of this awful trouble owing to my 69 years. Last week I began treatment with the Hoy Phenomenon as a last resort, and I am happy to say the treatment was wonderfully successful. I am now- free from, pain and I feel better in every respect, and feel at least 20 years younger. I got intnnt relief from the young man's hands, and 1 now attend to mv work and can climb tip and down stairs without any pain whatever. I thank (Jod for sending. this young man to cure the afflicted. (Signed) "MATILDA BRITfAlX.'
