Health Commissioner f. NJ. Sala
says Rock Island now has eight
cases of diphtheria-most of the
mem braneous Group character. In
his recent experiences with anti
toxine in the treatment Of diphtheria
DR.. Sala claims to have been very
successful and highly commends this
form of scientific treatment. Where
the health commissioner had the
greatest opportunity to test its
worth was in the case of a down.
town child whose condition was
pronounced critical and little hope
of recovery expected. .'Although h
reading much about the wonderful
cures effected through its agency, l
never had occasion to appreciate its
full worth until the other day." con-
tinued the doctor. 1.-The patient was
the little daughter of a downtown
family. The case was most dan
gerous one and had little reason to
expect a recovery when with the as.
sistance of DR.. Hall 1 applied the
remedy. Well, sir, it was a sumner
to me. 1t was but very little while
until the application commenced tc
tell. and in half hour the child was
entirely out of danger. 1t seems i'm
probable, but nevertheless such i:

His Fate Predic ted.

There developes circumstance in
connection with the tragic death of
John c. King, of Moline, the other
day, which furnishes nourishment
to those having faith in the fortune
tellers' tales. Mr.. King was an aged
gentleman and it is said had the
greatest confidence in whatever pre-
dictions clairvoyant mapped out as
positive occurrences in his future life.
1t is also said that he was told by a
clairvoyant that he would meet death
on a railroad, aud fearing what he
considered the inevitable conse-
quence of riding in the cars, Mr..
King always walked no matter what
the distance. And in making the
trip down into Henry county he
walked, but it is said he was par.
TALLY demented and wandered away.
But his fate came as foreshadowed
by the clairvoyant-he was run
down and killed by Peoria passen.

When They Laughed

1t has been conceded long since
that a person who would bite on one
of Fred Kinney's jokes would chew
gall. Nevertheless such a curiosity
got loose this morning. They were
talking about Hermann, the wizard
Hermann is a particular personal
friend OF Kinney's, and so is Mark
Twain. Kinney was telling about a
meeting of his two distinguished ac-
| quaintances. MARK knew Her
mann," he said, land SO when the
latter asked the humorist where his
watch was. he was onto his game and
made some plausible answer-but his
ticker had disappeared, nevertheless.
A little later" continued the nara
tor behind the bars in his most gra-
ciously suave manner, Hermann
invited Mark into his private car and
served him a lunch of sandwiches
and Budweiser. and when Mark went
to bite into his sandwich -"
''He found the gold watch, ol
course" broke in the listener, who
could scarcely contain himself until
he had given it and himself away.
"Why. no." replied Kinney, rising
to the occasion. ''he found ham, OF
course"
And the sucker went out with 6
desperate determination TO remove
the cause for the brewery war.

NEW NOVELTY COMPANY.
That Which Is Coming From Sterling to
Rock leland.

That Which Is Coming From Sterling to
Rock leland.
L. J. S. Greene, manager -of the
Novelty Manufacturing company,
which as detailed in yesterdays AR
GUS is to move from Sterling to
Rock Island, was in the city today.
The company manufactures the Nov
elty automatic stock waterer, wind
mill regulator and other novelties, and
will also establish job foundry here
in the Thompson foundry building On
Twenty-fourth street, which has
been leased. 1t will start with 20
men, which number will be increased
as the plant deveiope. About ten
men are to be brought from Sterling
the first Of the month.
Both the Sterling Gazette and
Standard speak in complimentary
terms of the factory and regret the
loss. the latter paper saying:
The Novelty Regulator company,
whose office is now located in the
old Wallace house ou west Third
street, will move its factory to
Rock Island Feb. ]. Heretofore the
company has had its products manu-.
factured on contract by various fac.
tories about the country. The name
of the concern at Rock Island will
be The Novelty Manufacturing com.
pany.' incorporated. Denny & Stew
ems. of Blair. Neb., are the proprie
tors, and L. j. Green, of this city, i:
manager. Mr.. Green has been will
the company for four years and ha:
been largely instrumental in bring
ing it to its present successful posi-
tion. Several new articles have beer
patented by the company. and will
be put on the market with the stool
troughs, windmill regulators anc
other novelties already put out b,
the firm. A foundry will be one o
the departments of the company
works. Mr.. Green will make hi
home in Rock Island when the fac
tory starts. He is hustling youns
bu siness man, and one that the CT,
hates to lose. His position in socia
circles has made him many friend
who will regard his departure as
personal loss, while they wish hin
success in his new quarters"

THETAYLORS ARE COMING
The Tennessee Statesmen and Lecturers to

Rock Island is soon to be favored
with one Of the most unique enter
tainments before the public this sea-
son. 1t will be none other than that
presented by those remarkable pro-
ducts of Tennessee politics and
craftsmanship, the TAYLOR Bros -
BIB and Alt. The famous cam
paign conducted by these two broth
ers few years ago when they fiddled
over the entire state in their canvass
for governor, both appearing on the
same platform and travelling to-
gether, was one of the NEST entirely
novel features in the annals of Amer
lean politics. Bob was elected, be-
ing the democrat, but ALI was not
far beh nd him at the head of the re-
publican ticket. and added to the CO.
incidence their father ran the same
year for governor on the prohibition
ticket. The Taylor Bros, although
radically opposed to each other in
politics. are fellow campaiguers and
travellers and always have been, and
preceding their memorable stumping
tour for gubernatorial. honors when
they set the entire state to dancing,
both had served in congress from
their district. Since Bob retired
from the governors chair they have
been on the>1ecture p a,form.
Their topic in Rock Island Feb.
