The Greatest Discovery Yet.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, II.
Chief, says: I'VE won't keep
house without DR.. Kings New D-s
cOvery for consumption, coughs and
colds. Experimental with many
others, but never got the true rem
edy until we used DR.. Kings New
Discovery. No other remedy can
take its place in our home, as in it we
have certain and sure cure for
coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc. >
1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies. even if they are urged on
you as just as good as DR.. King S
New Discovery. They are not as
good, because this remedy has a rec
ord of cures and besides is guarar-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

Gilbert" whose whereabouts nobody
could trace. That story has been told
too often to impressa jury-no Juryman
likes to be made laughing stcck-but
before n verdict of guilty" could be
given a man fell down dead in the
streets He was recognized as 1.-THE gem
tleman" by the accused woman, and,
sure enough, in his pocket were found
other forged checks similar to those she
had attempted to put into circulation.
Even Mr. Lane, Q. c., may be persuaded
that truth really is stranger than fiction

his sharp teeth in the VOLTS neck and

The Terminal company, through
Contractor p. +. Walsh, has stolen a
march on the Diamond 10 at Daven-

DROPS HIS WAD IN A GAME.
Story From ottawa Concerning an Al
legged Rock Islander.

The Ottawa Journal prints story
TO the effect that John r. Murdoch,
of Rock Island, was separated from
81, 800 in a card game in that town.
Murdoch went to Ottawa for the
purpose of investing in a business en-
terprise the capital he had saved out
of years of labor as a blacksmith.
1t seems from Murdock's story that
two Mr.. Browns arrived at the board
ing house just shortly after he did.
At any rate they met at the dinner
table, and an acquaintanceship wa
formed. Mr.. Murdoch declares pos
itively that he gave no intimtaion of
having a large sum of money on his
person, but expressed the opinion
that they had learned of it in some
way, possibly at Rock Island, and fol-
lowed him.
The result of his acquaintanceship
was friendly game of hearts in
Mr.. Murdock's room, after supper.
1t began as they all do, with a stake
of penny heart, lust to make it
interesting This developed into D
cents a heart, then 10 cents, then a
quarter, and finally dollar a heart,
Mr.. Murdoch losing from the start,
and all the time making a desperate
attempt to play even. At O'Clock in
the morning Mr.. Murdoch was
down to his last 1O-dollar bill, and
evidently not wishing to break him
entirely, one of the Browns got up,
gathered his winnings in his hands,
and declared the game off.
The Rock Island directory does not
contain the name of John r. Muir
dock. A man who would allow him
self TO be hornswaggled in such fash
ion. would not, in all likelihood, give
his right name, anyway.
