The May Festival.

A novel feature Of the May festival to
be given under the auspices of the First
III. E. church at the Rock Island rink
from May 9th to 18th, will be corn ex-
hibition, corn palace, etc. The pastor.
Mr.. Cue. believing that there are
many engaged in the agricultural pur.
suit who would cheerfully contribute to
the laudable undertaking on the part Of
himself and his congregation, he has
conceived the plan of inviting every
farmer, regardless Of locality. to donate
to the enterprise, and on the 9Th day of
May ten bushels of corn are to be deliv-
cred at the rink in sacks. As a recognI-
ton Of such offerings and for the sake OF
tho interest -iven to the whole enter
prise, beautiful phaeton, made to order
by the sechler Carriage Co.. of Moline,
for the purpose, is offered as premium
for the best ten bushels OF corn donated.
The following is the contract to be signed
and Mr.. Cue says he hopes that huns
dred or more farmers will do this much to
help him push the extensive work he has
undertaken:
Rock ISLAND, March 12, 1889.

OF the First Methodist Episcopal church.
Rock Island. ten bushels of good sound
corn in the ear. to BE- tested by weight.
delivering 1t on the 9Th day of May, 1889.
and in lieu Of any failure to deliver the
corn on said date. agree to pay to the
board of trustees of said church ten doll
lars in cash.
ROCK ISLAND, March 12. 1889
In the afternoon of the 9Th day of May.

The Last of the Yalois Lima.

Talking of the last king of the Valois line,
Bapst, the ex-jeweler to the crown, in hi.
book on the crown jewels, makes Henri out
more odious than historians generally paint
him. According to Bapst, when Charles TX
ordered the massacre OF St. Bartholomew,
Henri superintended the rifling by the palace
guard Of the bodies Of the Huguenots whom
they murdered. BE let the soldiers have the
clothes, but kept the money and jewels for
himssf. A watch, studded with diamonds,
rubies and other precious stones, and of extra
ordinary workmanship, was part Of the spoil.
It was taken out of the pocket of the queens

not a puritanical one, and who was probably

For the relief and cure Of the inflam.
nation and congo stion called "a cold In
the head" there is more potency in Ely's
Cream Balm than in anything else 1t is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has for years past been making brilliant
success as remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh and hay fever. Used in the mi
tial stages of these complaints Cream
Balm prevents any serious development
Of the symptoms, while almost number
less cases are on record of radical cures
Of chronic cstarrh and hay fever after all
other modes Of TIRE atment have proved Of
no avail.
