Tie Ice King Refrigerator.

Which created such q sensation, Gnd took
the first premium at the Cincinnati EXposi'
sion, St. Louis Fair, Illinois State Fair, and
ali the Fairs throughout this State generally
last season, Is now for sale aud can be seen
IN actual operation ct L. W. Spencer's
Household Furnishing Goods Emporium, en-
illinois street.
The Refrigerator possesses many Rfvsn-
tsges over all others ever manufactured,
among which may be mentioned the fact
that 1t saves fifty per oentof the ice required
IN any other Refrigerator of the same size.
1t is q preserver, not a consumer, like the
numerous ice meters called RefrigerAsors.
1t produces a dry, cold temperature in the
preserving chambers. The emperature can
be reduced to fourteen degrees belou freezing
point. One article of food will not ~parsake
of the smell or tass of another The pro-
vision chambers are always dry, sweet
and clean, as they have no drippings from
ice. FIsh, game and meats Of all kinds can
be kept frozen any length of time, and in 8
perfectly dry and preserved condition. The
Refrigerator ia divided into two separate and
distinct compartments, and also has g Water
Cooler attached, which furnishes an uulimr
tied supply of ice cold water acithout putting
ice in the t0dter. 1t consumes about ten
cents worth of ice every twenty four hours
This economical piece of furniture costs no
more than any other refrigerator, and is
manufactured of all sizes, and suitable for
Hotels, Restaurants, Grocers and for family
purposes.
Call at E. ". Spencer's the only agent
for Rock Island, Moline and vicinity, and

CONFIDENCE GAME.-A successful conf

C. r. l. & P. R. R., Just before the train ar
rived at Davenport yesterday. The Rev. c.
Gridlsy, of Monte, Los Angeles county, CAL,
who, after a twenty-nine years residence in
C@llforniS-wAs returning east on q trip,
was conversing with q well looking stranger
who claimed friendship with him on tn g
gro7ndsthat they both cam from California.
A partner happened to want some money
from the stranger, and he handed him a note
for $500, which the Conductor was mot prs
pared to change. The stranger then turned
to Mr.. Gridley and, rendering the note as
security, borrowed 1920 from that gentle.
man. Mr.. Gridley wal SO deceived BY the
mans manner and conversation, that he LEI
him leave the train at Davenport, with tn,
note 10 his hand, to go in search of chang,
for 1t. The stranger won the game; Mr.
Gridley has seen nothing of him since.
