head Of hair to stimulate invention In the Of
the room an older man, also in plain Clothes was
writing-out a description of a large of gold
watches which had that morning been taken from

The letter was finished at last and Mr. Furley
looked it through with aspect of discomfort. He
crossed 1T" here and there and underlined one or
two words.
Dear Mary: 1 am sorry have not had time to
write to you lately, but I have been very busy.

happy to place you where you would not be- think,
therefore, our engagement had better be looked
off.
Remember me to all inquiring friends. 1 have

regards yours faithfully. George Furiey.

TO KEEP FOOD CRISP.

A novel way to keep package of
food is shown on the Grape-Nuts pack
age, where line indicates that slit
should be made with knife, and the
package squeezed, which makes it gap
enough to pour out what is needed for
meal, then the package automatically
closed, preserving the contents from
moisture of the air.
AS rule, Grape-Nuts packages are
not kept on hand very long in any
family, but it is well to know how to
keep the contents of the package in
prime condition. Grape-Nuts are
ready cooked, very crisp, and can be
served Immediately with little good
cream or milk. This feature is of
great advantage to those who appre-
ciate ease and convenience in prepar-
ing breakfast

That 1.-THE mills of the gods grind

has been verified in the case of Ted
Sullivan, the alleged baseball manager,
who threw Dubuque down" last
year, says the Dubuque Times. When
the baseball season opened this year
he was manager of a club in Mont
gomery, Ala, where he caused him
self to be GoniZed by the fans, who
sang his praises in the highest key.
1t was, therefore. an easy matter for
him to work his graft on the hon

worked it in Dubuque. He did not,

that he was coming and refused
to patronize his club. and he then de-
clared if they did not patronize it he
would take it to another city.
They still declined to have any
thing to do with Ted or his
aggregation and he transferred the
team TO Dallas, Tex. 1t was now that
his trouble began. The team was
gone, aud a man to whom he had sold
the liquor privilege of the ground in
Montgomery had no way of getting
his money back. He was determined,
however, that the irrepressible Ted
should not beat" him ana he went to

Grain-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.
1t can't be otherwise. Is and 25 cents
per package

Not having secured successor to
Callahan yet, Rock Island was weak
in the box Yesterday. This was nuts
for Dubuque. Deady's fellows busted
their lamps and smoothed their shoot
ing irons and proceeded to slaughter.
1t was a continuous slamming and
banging, Brott and Rothermel tossing
the goods for Rock Island and being
found at will by their opponents.
1t was an excuse for a game such as
we were given occasionally when Joe
Cantillon captained our team. Rock
Island has reason to feel proud of her
ball club, for the magnificent work it
has done so far this season, and there
fore is equally disappointed at an exhi-
bition of the type put up at Dubuque
yesterday, for the boys are capable
and should play better ball. The
score:

THE STATE PAY is READY.
Illinois Volunteers Soon to Receive the

iihois volunteers soon to Receive the
s25O,oOo Appropriated.
Illinois volunteers in the war with
Spain are now receiving the $3.50, 900
appropriated by the last legislature
to pay them the difference in state
and government pay for the time in
tervening from their going to camp
and their muster into the national
service.
1t has taken some time to get the
pay rolls in shape, and the work is by
no means completed yet. Each pay
roll has had to be made out by the
company commander, then forwarded
to the ad iutant generals office, where
it is verified with the muster-in rolls.
III there is n single name missing it is
returned for correction. About ten
company rolls have been sent in up
to this time, and seven of these had
to be returned for correction. Part
of the seven have been corrected and
returned to the adjutant general.
After each pay roll is verified it is
sent to Gov. Tanner, who passes upon
it, and then it is sent to the auditor
of public accounts. Warrants are
made out for each individual mem Der
OF the company, and these are sent to
the commanding officer of the COM
pany, each member signing the pay
roll having given the company COM
mander power of attorney to receipt
for his money for him. 1t is then the
work of the commanding officer to
pay the individuals the amount due
them and take their receipts.
Under the system of paying the
men the name of every man who vol
unteered and was enlisted is to be
found upon the pay roll of his COM
pany. Unfortunately, some of the
Illinois volunteers are not here now
to claim their money. Some died in
foreign lands. while others died in
camps in the United States. In such
cases the money will be held by the
auditor until claimed by the heirs of
the deceased.
