ROCK ISLAND BRIDGE GOES OUT.
Big Span Mt Davenport Carried Away
When the Ice Moved Out.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Feb. 25 THE movement
of ice in the Mississippi this afternoon
carried out 1SO feet of the draw span of the
government bridge, which was supported by
trestle work, while undergoing repairs. The
bridge was heavy doubleldecker used by
the Rock Island railway, whose, traffic will
be blcckaded for an indefinite pericd. The
wires on the bridge were carried away and
telegraph and telephone communication are
interrupted. Another result is that the
Davenport street railway r system Is shut
down and the prospects are that part Of
the city will be in darkness tonight.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-General Manager w.
Pacc when ntervtewed n eea regard iSau to the
bridge collapse said that it was the govern
ment bridge which was carried away. He
said that no one was killed. The accident
will not affect the Rock Tsland any, as the
company could handle business around by
way of Burlington and Clinton.
Omaha daily bee., 1896-02-26

Rock Island railroad officials in Omaha re-
ceived the news of the collapse of the big
bridge with surprise. Local officers state
that their traffic will not be interrupted. Ac-
cording to long standing precedent one
read is able to use the line of another COM
pany in order to avoid a blockade Of its
traffic. In this case Rock Island trains will
run from Omaha to Chicago over the tracks
Of either the Burlington or the Milwaukee.

SO irritated that l can't stand the least an
noyance." What is the result? These good
resolutions are generally made while the
effect Of the use of tobacco practically par
alyzes the cravings of millions of irritated
nerve centers and just as soon as the eff
fects commence to pass away these good res
olutions weaken, showing conclusvey that
the use of tobacco is not habit but disease
Of the nervous system caused by the educa-
tion Of the nerves to crave for the nicotine
poisoning. What, then, is the easy, perma-
nent, natural way to relieve yourself Of the
use of tobacco? Certainly not by dscontinu-
ing 1t and suffer the nervous reaction and
prostrating effects and mental degeneracy
sure to follow the long and continued use of
tobacco. Does 1t not suggest itself to you
that the natural thing to do is to take rem
edy that is specifically prepared to eradicate
the effects of the nicotine in the system
and to overcome the nerve craving effects
and restore the tobacco irritated nerves
to a normal and healthy condition? To this
We all say Yes, where is the remedy?"
You will find it In No-To-Bac This is easily
said and we all naturally ask for proof. Ger
tainly. IL No-To-Bac fails to cure. The
Sterling Remedy Company of New York
Montreal and Chicago have SO much faith in
their remedy, that they positively guarantee
to refund the money, and the concern being
owned and operated by some Of the most I
reputable business men Of the east and west
Is absolutely reliable and we are glad to
say, able In every way to live up to its guar
antee.
The sale of No-To-Bac within the past few
years has assumed enormous proportions
almost entirely developed upon its merits
and the recommendations of the cured. So
great is the sale that 1t is hardly possible to
go into any leading drug store without find
Ing II on sale, and the druggist has nothing
but words Of praise to give it,

A Kite With Automatic Stability.

Mr.. G. Fl. Lamson visited Boston last
weekEbysappointment to meet Mr.. Octave
Chanute, scientist Of Chicago, who
has been experimenting with soaring
machines on the shores of Lake Michi-
gan the past few weeks. Mr.. Chanute
feels very well pleased with thesresult
of his experiments and believes he has
produced soaring apparatus having
automatic stability. THAT is one which
will remain right side up ON an even
keel under any circumstances Of wind or
weather. With his machine record
jump of 800 feet in linear distance has
been covered and an elevation of 40 feet
attained. After several weeks use no
one received any injury and the light
2l-poupd machine was still unbroken.
1t was considered SO safe that amatuers
were allowed to try it and the ability
to sail some distance was soon acquired.
The operator was frequently higher. In
she air than his starting point. The
start was from a hill top against stiff
all one had to do was to step out into
the air and slide on DOWNWARD In
cline toward the shores of the lake from
which the wind was blowing. (The wind
from over large body of water is stead
Ter than land breeze.) The machine
is believed to be a great improvement
over Lilienthal's wings as the superposed
supporting surfaces are very short fore
and aft and to recover tho centre of grayi-
ty. when displaced, requires ouly very
slight movement. The automatic rud-
ders are so arranged as to keep the sup
porting aero-curYes alta proper angle. The
details of this rudder arrangement are
not yet made public as Mr.. Chanute does
not wish to prejudice his chances of OBJ
tanning patent by previous publica-
ton.
