the summer, including new floors,
lowering of the Second avenue front,
repapering and repaintfng. in fact a
general overhauling of the establish
ment, all of which greatly enhance
its richness of appearance. The base
ment of the building has also been
converted to the growing needs of the
firm. and will be used hereafter for
storage purposes. The store, which
has ground floor space of S0x150
feet. consists of nine apartments, five
on the first and four on the second
floor, each laden with fineries for the
furnishing of the home

Preparations to Greet Them.
The arrangement for the proper re-
ceptiOn and welcome of the BOYS of
Company A on their return to Rock
Island took definite shape in meeting
of eX-members of the company and
citizens invited by them to cooperate,
at the Harper house last night. An
organization was completed with the
election of Capt. II. A. Mcdonald as
chairman, F. j. Kinney as secretary
and L. ii. McNevin as treasurer. The
general plan was mapped out, which
provides for homecoming greeting
on as informal scale as'possible, the
plan being to receive Maj. ChannOn
and the company at the depot and
escort them to Market square, where
Mayor Medill will say a few
words of welcome and thereafter
to dispense and permit the boys to
get to their respective homes. Invi-
tations are to be extended the G.. A.
r., u. V. u. and S. of V. to act as
honorary escort with the eX-members
of the company. There are to be
numerous features IN connection with
the event which will add to the real
sincerity as well as enthusiasm of the
public reception. A few days lat er
something else will occur in the boys
honor. A finance committee was
designated composed of +. II. Me

Stewart, John Rinck, F. j. Kinney |
and ID. b. Shaw. Capt. j. NJ. Boards |

turning heroes en- route. The |
adjourned, subject to the
call of the chairman.

THE NEWSPAPER LAW.

All Subscribers Should Read the
Following Law and Avoid Trouble.
l. All subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. II subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals. from the
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub.
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsihle.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. II subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to

IN CYCLEDOM.

A 30O-pound rider at Fort Worth, Tex,
lately rode quarter of mile straight
away ON a 20-pound wheel in 80 seconds.
This is record.
An automobile wheel has been or
dered by wealthy resident of Peking,
China. By the way, automobiles are not
destined to come into general use right
away. Prices for these machines range
from $500 to 5000.
In California, the seceders from the
L. a. ". have not been successful.
The riders are cut off from the national
circuit and all THE l.. A. w. meets, and
the new organization has nothing to
give in return for these deprivations.
Bicycle makers report an increased
demand for brakes, and dealers say that
many veteran riders have been con-
verted. The increased interest in tour
view. Cyclists who pedal on city streets
only may never need brake, but cy-
clists who travel over country roads
need one every ten minutes.
One of the drills that German mill
tary cyclist has to perform is that of
taking his machine to pieces and put
ting it together again. The drill, we
understand, is introduced with the idea
of teaching the men the construction
of their machines, in order that they
may be qualified to repair, i'm case of ac-
cident.
There is considerable objection being
made to the use of gas OF electric motors
in pacing racers; but it is hard to see
why. If the desire is to increase the
speed of the riders, nothing can be too
fast, mechanical or human; I'd if it is
desired to determine how many miles
the rider cam make without outside aid,
why not abolish pace-mahing alto
gether? A.. ..

Man Killed at Fort Worth.

A Fort Worth dispatch to the Dallas
News says:
Arthur Pierson was shot to death to-
night shortly after o o'clock by James
were fired, three of which took effect.
Pierson fell on his back, his head near
the door, with a spring-back knife by
his side. He bled profusely and his
shirts and vest were saturated with
blood. AT the time of the difficulty the
deceased, the accused and another par
ty named T. II. Elledge were present.
Elledge would make no further state
ment than that IL was q combat to the
death, Pierson using a knife while his
antagonist brought into play the pis-
toll. He declared in the presence Of
Magistrate Milan that he was readin e
newspaper when the two men
were discussing some private matter
and paid but little attention to their
words until they became enraged and
began the struggle for life and death
The two men clinched, be said, fell
over on the bed In the room, Pierson
with the knife in his hand and Neal
with the pistol. He made, he said,
every possible attempt to stop the diff
fculty, but his efforts were fruitless.
Neal escaped without injury. All he
had to say was that he killed Pierson
In self-defense.
He maintained that it had reached
the point where 1t Twas necessary to
kill or be killed and he fired to save
his life. He stated that he did not care
TO make any reference to the cause of
the Misunderstanding. Both men were
in their shirt sleeves.
Thirty-five minutes after the homt-
eide took place the wife Of the decess-
ed, who is engaged at a variety thea
ire, arrived. Her maiden name was
Lula Wells. She and Pierson were
married about two weeks ago by just
ice of the Peace Milan. She pushed
through the throng of 1900 or 1000
gathered at the front door and wend-
ed her way upstairs. She was not per-
mitted to see her dead husband and she
moaned the entire time, almost going
into Mysteries.
