The Rock Island roller. Skating rink
has been thoroughly overhauled,
ella boratelv decorated and 4 new maple
floor laid, and will be equipped with
800 pair of the celebrated Richardson

dorsement of many eminent physi-
clans as a most salutary athletic eXer-
else.
Only efficient attaches of irreproach-
able character will be in at
tendance and from the atmos-
phere of the Rock Island
roller skating rink will he excluded
every element which might possibly
exert a baneful influence on the minds
of the young and impressionable peo-
pie while in search of enjoyment, and
the management will only entertain
ladies', gentlemen and children who
deport themselves in n manner con-
sistent with the strictest propriety
and decorum.
All the safeguards with which it is
possible to surround young people in
their own homes will be scrupulously
enforced.
Edwin I. Jackson, of Chicago, un-
der whose management the rink will
he conducted. is a gentleman of long
experience in the roller skating rink
business, and will reside with his
family in this city permanently. He
will conduct the rink strictly high
class, and we know that Rock Island
will welcome the return of I'VE oldcn

That Boy OF
Yours,

Like the illustrious Patrick Henry
would as soon be dead Is to he
robbed Of his liberty.
He must have liberty no mat
ter how high it cOmes-tO you.
And in the exercise of that lib
ertv he is bound to wear out 4
pair of shoes every-well let's
say, every once in a while. No
matter how good the shoes, they
will wear out-often, too.
There's only one thing to do.
Buy the best shoes you can get,
pay fair price for them, thus
making sure of the quality, and
then-let the boy do the rest.
We believe we have a better
stock of boys shoes than any
other shoe store in town. We
believe we own them as cheaply
as anyone can. and we are willing
to part with them at Il small
profit.
Bring on the boys.

struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such a manner as TO bruise it severe

He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in

CRUSHED BY A TRAIN.
Charles Gordon Sustains Proba-
bly, Fatal Injuries in an
Accident.
RUN OVER NEAR COAL VALLEY.

Rolls Into a Ditch, Where He Lies an
Hour. When His Cries Attract the Crew
OF the TriIby and He is Taken to the
Hospital. Where the Doctors Amputate
Both His Feet.
Charles Gordon, aged 20 years, is at
St. AnthOny's hospital lowering be-
tween life and death as a result of an
accident Saturday night on the Rock
Island * Peoria railway near Coal
Valley. Beth his feet were so badly
crushed it was necessary to amputate
them.
Although mOrtaily wounded and
lying in u ditch for an hour. Gordon
had sufficient strength to make his
cries audible above the rumbling of
train. and but for his powerful
lungs he might have died on the spot
where he rolled at the bottom of the
EN- bankment after the merciless
wheels had passed over him.
As far as can be learned there was
no witness to the accident. The sup
position is that Gordon had been to
Coal Valley and boarded the freight
that passed through about 9 o'clock
to ride to his home about one mile
and a half south of the town. The
freight was in charge of Conductor
Charles Brook bank and Engineer
Thompson. AS trains only move at q
rate of six miles an hour there, on
account of the excavating opera
tiOns that are in progress, the belief
is that Gordon thought he would not
have any difficulty in alighting from
the train. but missed aud fell under
the cars.
Halls Passenger Train.
When the Trilby came along n mans
cries were heard. Engineer George
Miller brought the train to n stop and
the crew began search, thinking 4
passenger had fallen off. Gordon rec
ognized Conductor j. l. Pitney's
voice, and calling his name, brought
the members of the crew to his side.
Gordon was carried to the train and
taken to Rock Island. The ambulance
was at the depot and he was taken to
St. AnthOny's hospital, where Drs. S.
Z. Plummer and 5. b. Hall attended
him. They found the right foot almost
severed. while the left was crushed to
a pulp. The left leg was also frac-
tured. The doctors amputated the
feet and did all possible to relieve the
young mans sufferings. They feared
he would not live through the night,
but yesterday he appeared to improve,
wonderful pluck and
strength, and the chances are now in
favor of his recovery.
Gordon is son of j. w. Gordon.
who was turnkey at the county jail
during the administration of Sheriff
G. ID. Gordon, of whom the in ured
man is nephew.
