STRIKE ON IN DAVENPORT Men Are Still Working in Rock Island and Moline, However Want 45 Cents an Hour. The tri-cities are facing a general suspension of building operations on the eve of one of the busiest seasons in years, due to new demands of the union carpenters which the Master Builders' association declares never will be met. An increase of 5 cents an hour is asked by the journeymen. They are now receiving 40 cents. The union carpenters of the tri-cities are 1,000 strong. P. J. Carlson of Moline is the business agent of the carpenters and has been carrying on the negotiations with the builders. Henry Horst of Rock Island is head cf the builders. Flint Break Occum. The first break has occurred in Dav enport, where the journeymen employ ed by Contractor John Soller have laid aside their tools to await an adjust ment of differences. Mr. Soller states he will fill the union men's places with other journeymen, whether they are union men or not. A Rock Island contractor said today that the builders are accepting con tracts conditionally and are awaiting developments. One meeting has been held between arbitration committees representing the builders and the jour neymen, but no understanding was reached. Both sides have given their ultimatum, it is understood. The build ers say they could stand the increase of 5 cents an hour in wages, and would willingly accede to the demand were I r i i it not accompanied dv otner conces- year are iiere iresnjsions they hom are impossible of rui- 1 ! Ailment bv them. This, they say, is in every morning when ;effect a boycott of an bunders- supply t factories tnat are not unionizea in tne StOre OpenS. j trades emnloyed. Is Ialcr of Principle. A local contractor is authority for the statement that the journeymen of Davenport have requesed the builders there t buy n materials from the T. W. McClelland company sash and door factorv because it is an "open shop.' The enforcement of the same rule is to Florida India river or- j be attempted in Rock Island and Mo- anges, sweet and Juicy; navei or- : line. The builders hold that tnis de anges; Florida grape fruit, heavy j mand on the part of the journeymen is unjust and have declared against it j on account of the "principle of the : thing," as one of their number put it. of Honor have been requested to meet Tuesday evening at the Odd Fel lows' hall to elect delegates from the court to the staje court which meets at Sprinfleld, March 22.

B. It. Battles S Co -a 1806 Second Avenue Day or Night "I would lay awake for hours without any apparent cause, or dream terrible dreams which would bring on extreme spells of nervousness. After taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic for awhile I could sleep well, and the nervous spells have left me." MISS ALMA HUG, R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio. Without sleep the nervous system soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep accompanies the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine because it soothes the irritable nerves, and restores nervous energy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will re turn your money. For Cherry Sufferers. D. J.

BARDOLPH BACK ATftiR. BEVERIDGE Claimed Evangelist Was Dis missed Because Not Orth odox in Preaching. REVIVAL SUDDENLY ENDS Town' AH Worked Up Over State ments Published by the Trav eling Minister. Bardolph, 111., Feb. 10. 1910. Editor Rock Island Argus. Rock Island, 111.: I received a copy of The Rock Island Argus from a lady in Rock Island with the letter printed by said Argus writ ten foy Rev. Mr. Beveridge, who was holding one of his tirades in Bardolph for 9 or 10 days. I send you under separate cover a copy of the Bardolph News with a letter in it written by Rev. Mr. Rosenkrans of the M. E. church, at whose church Rev. Mr. Beveridge was holding his meetings. I ask you with all due respect to Bar dolph to publish in your valuable paper the item written by Rev. Mr. Rosenkrans. I am a member of Vashti Shrine 23, White Shrine of Jerusalem, at Rock Island, recorder of Woodbine camp 175S, F. X. of A. I am well acquaint ed in Hock Island. Yours very truly, MRS. H. K. OGDEX. Reply of Pastor. Bardolph News: Mr. Beveridge, in the Macomb Journal of Feb. 2, gives what he calls "a simple statement of facts relative to the meeting," In which he slanders Bardolph church people, churches and myself, in order to shield himself. He was booked to help nie in a protracted meeting, to begin New Year's eve. and was adver tised thus. Later he wired me (col lect) that he could not come till Jan. 1. He arrived on the 7:15 train and the writer paid $1.25 express charges on his hymn books, which he later tried to force our people to purchase, but failed. He was invited to the par sonage to talk over plans for the meet ing, but he said he was not yet ready to tell his plans fully. I suggested a consecration meeting for Sunday night and that we invite our .Methodist peo ple to come forward and consecrate themselves for service in the meeting, but he scornfully rejected the idea, saying. "You'll have to get, them con verted before they can be conse crated." The man seemed sour and crabbed. Sny IVh All Graft? We told him we were advertised to have a missionary lecture on Turkey Jan. 4, illustrated by stereopticon and that he would be expected to exhort after the lecture. He remarked thit he supposed the pastors had to do something to interest the people in missions and he couldn't blame the poor fellows as they were bought and sold at conference on ihe scale of their benevolent, collections, but that, personally, he did not favor missions or any other "side show" of the church, and that the church was get ting to be all "graft." He lamented having the lecture during the meeting, i but finally said he would attend, of j course, and help, as he did not dare j to air his ideas of missions publicly, as it was not policy, and in order to be better able to do so he read tho manuscript through. Monday he de cided not to attend the lecture, but Monday night he spoke from a text in the lecture .Tno. 4:5, us:ng some of the subject matter of the lecture, knowing it would b? used again and illustrated the following night. Condemn Superintendent. During his addres.-es Mr. Beveridge publicly condemned Dr. R. E. Buckey, late district superintendent of the Galesburg district; at least 12 minis ters of the district.

Were we mistaken when we predicted eight lays ago, that this Con solidation Sale of ours would crowd our store? Well, we should say not. And if you'll ask any one of the thousands 07 customers who have had a chance at the bargains we're offering, they'll tell you they're worth corning for. Whenthe new goods Mr. Nessley is buying in V-cw York this week come in, and those Mr. Nordgren has been pickog out for months back, and those Mr. Burston has provided for the ney spring season when these all come rolling in, there will be a good deal of room for them. This Consolidation Sale this slashing of prices and active selling of goods which the consolidation of our business with tl'at of J. H. Ness ley & Co. has given us (in some departments) too mud. of, is clearing shelves here and there, in a most satisfactory manner. Just two days more, now, of this Consolidation Sale. Come in to morrow, Friday and Saturday, and share in the lavish cistribution of merchandise under-priced which we're making. We find tucked away in a corner, about a hundred yards of nine-quarter and ten-quarter Pepperell sheeting, un bleached, the regular 30c kind, lengths from 2 yards up. We add these to the long list of Consolidation Sale bargains at (not 30c) but 19c a yard, 19c. And here's another big bargain for the Domestics department in its new lo cation in the Nessley room, ground floor: Five hundred yards fancy stripe outing flannels the 7c kind. We can spare this lot all right take what you want tomorrow and Saturday for 4ic a yard, four and one-half cents, 4ic. The 49c lot of wool dress goods is not likely to last through Saturday better be prompt. It's just as we said 75c and 85c and 89c all wool Sicilians, ladies' cloths, fancy serges, etc., choice for 49c. y Twenty-one patterns yet to choose from, 50c wool dress goods, Consolidation Sale price 25c a yard. In the ready-to-wear dept., second floor, we add an even dozen misses' coats that have been up to $6.50, and price them for the Consolidation Sale at $3.50 each. The big card, SPCIAL TRADING STAMPS still hangs in the ready-to- ear depart ment, and says : "With any coat, suit or dress over $4.00 one full book of stamps. "$5.00 in stamps on each $1.00 pur chase in furs. 4 'Double trading stamps on all waists over 75c. "Double trading stamps on any ready trimmed hat." In the Annex across the alley the Consolidation Sale bargains blossom in to profitable purchases with fast-growing frequency. That. big long table piled high with good gray granite kitchenware large 35c preserve kettles, big long-handled 25c saucepans, pudding pans, wash basins, pie pans, etc., etc., all going at 10c, (yes, ten cents for any piece) is the ne plus ultra of bargains in enameled cooking ware. And the 20-foot table covered a dozen deep with flowered meat platters, plates, cups and saucers, vegetable dishes, milk pitchers, etc., etc., at 9c is another Consolidation Sale bargain such as only happens at this store. Come on every dollar spent here at the Consolidation Sale this week is a money-saver for the customer who spends it. C ISKM-OOSLEVCS Th. Hdine Boston btote Moline, Feb. 10. Will of Kesia Lawson.

All the Argus. news all the time- For iaby's lib Something can and must be done for the puny, crying baby, for the child that refuses to est and is rest less in its sleep. And since the basis of all health is the proper working of the digestive organs, look first to the condition of the stomach and bowels. A child should have two full and free movements of -the bowels a day. This emptying: of the bowels Is very important, as with it comes a clear head, a light ness of step, good appetite and sound sleep. But It is equally important to know what to Klve the child in tha emergency of constipation and Indiges tion. Cathartics are too strong and salts and other purgatives are not onlv too strong, but the child refuses thom be cause of their bad taste. Have you ever tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin? It Is a liquid tonic that families have been using for a quarter of a century. It is mild, pleasant-tasting and promptly ef fective. It is good for you as well as the child, but there is nothing better to be round for children. They like Its taste you will not have to force them to take it First of all. if vou have not yet used It, Dr. Caldwell would like to send you a sample bottle free of charge. In this way you can try it before buying. Later, when convinced of its merits, vou can Ret it of your druggist at fifty cents and ono dollar a bottle. Just as thousands of ether families are doing.

The only church he compiendod was the Church cf the Nazarene of Chicago. He ridi culed Charles Sheldon's books, "In His Steps" and "What Would Jesus Do?" as silly, and said that Jesus never was, and never could be, an example to man, caustically referring to Jno. 3:1C as "that much abused passage of scripture." He proceeded to picture our God as a God of hate, malignity and revenge. His idea of God was a cross between the "blood atonement" God of the Lat ter Day Saints, and Kali, the Goddess of destruction of India. Tenoliern Criticised. In his last address Mr. Beveridge condemned the Sundaj- school teachers for teaching children to obey the 10 commandments, stating that thero were lots of worse sins than murder, and we recalled to mind his previous- ly saying that he "did not care a snap of his fingers if all the women in China died in one night and went to ." j We decided he had caricatured re ligion as much as we would allow and dismissed him, then secured the serv ices of Rev. M. S. Swisher, a neigh boring pastor, and went on with the meeting with good results, several be ing truly converted, closing the meet ing Jan. 25 with the interest still good. No, Mr. Beveridge's meeting was not stopped by a show; he was dismissed because he was not orthodox in his preaching. His statements, in which he quotes me, are not true, and his statement about our organist is a malicious false hood. His statements about refusing money are also misleading. It is not known Just how much he received A3 he refused to allow the' church treas urer to count the collections, but it is known that he received at least $li, and his board paid, and left without even thanking his landlady for her kindness or returning the books and sewing machine he borrowed or even telling hi3 landlady to whom they be longed.
