Surgeon General Wyman has been

bei.evin; the disease is practically
stamped out. and no further fear need

A Night of Terror.

Awful anxiety was felt for the
widow of the brave Gen. Burnham, of
Machias, Me, when the doctors said
she could not live till morning."
writes Mrs. S. II. Lincoln, who at
tended her that fearful night. "All
thought she must soon die from pneu-
monia, but she begged for DIR. Kings
New Discovery, saving it had more
than once saved her life and had cured
her of consumption. After three
small doses she slept easily all night,
and it's further use completely cured
her." This marvellous medicine is
guaranteed to cure all throat, chest

PITCHER kLOBENDASZ, formerly of
the Boston National league baseball
club, has not been able to play in the
major organization this season be-
cause of the opposition that he aroused
among labor Organizations throughout
the country in ''scabbing" in Boston
restaurant during a strike last winter.
The Boston management recently re-
leased the great twirler, and the Chi
cago club signed him, but it, too. has
been obliged to let him go on account
of the stand of labor. In Rock ISL
and, however, the voice of labor is
not so influential. In the municipal
appointments that attended the in
coming of the McConochie admins
tration was one against which labor
protested earnestly on the same gen.
eral principle that prompted the feel

no effect, the appointment was
made just the same, and despite
this and other circumstances properly

Moline Celestial Defeats His Countryman

For the third time the Moline celes-

over his Davenport countryman at

jury trying the judgment case against
him brought by Sam Lee, found him
not guilty after being out less than
an hour.
This was the third trial of the case
and the second in the county court,
the decision Ringing on techni-
cality. for Lee secured judgment for
an alleged gambling debt in Daven-

LEvEE RETAINING WALL.
Claim That Davenport Has Made a Seri-
Gus BIunder.


Gus BIunder.
Says the Davenport Times: '.In
the opinion of many old residents
who have lived in Davenport long
enough to know that the Mississippi
river is a very uncertain quality, and
of gigantic strength, the city seems
to have made a big mistake in the
making OF the retaining wall for the
new levee. Prophecy is made that
within year from date government
dredge boats will be dredging in an
endeavor to keep open the stream
in front of the levee, which at present
affords such an excellent landing
place for the steamers. In proof of
their contention they point across to
Rock Island, where, with a levee but
year old. the government dredge
boats are busy today clearing away
the sand accumulated close to the
levee in such a way that the landing
for the boats will be cut off when low
wafer comes. IL is difficult for the
boats at present to make landing at
Rock Island even when three feet of
water separates the present stage from
the low water mark"

A NOVEL horseless vehicle appeared
recently in Modern Woodmen pa

awarded first prize. The affair was
so constructed that the double mo-
tors" a pair of mules, were con-
cealed in the body of the carriage,
and thus the machine ran as if i'm
PEELED by mechanical power instead of
animal power. The suggestion is
