He Was Careful of Hi. Voice.

Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very
susceptible to fiattery, and it is said
that once in New York, when the or
chestra vigorously applauded one of his
favorite songs, he was so touched that
he came down to the footlights and in
vited them all to a champagne supper
at the Everett House. The supper cost
him $500.
Brignoh was very careful of his voice
and was terribly afraid of drafts.
1t was once stated that during the
winter it always took him three-quar-
tiers of an hour to get from his room to
the street.
First, he would, on leaving his room,
pace the hall for ten minutes to get ac-
climated. He then descended to the
lobby, where the temperature was lit
tie lower, and spent 20 minutes there.
He then ventured to the vestibule, from
which the door opened into the street.
He would parade the vestibule for 10
minutes, occasionally opening the door
to let in a little cold air. Being now
accustomed to a cool temperature, he
would button up his coat and sally
forth. -National Magazine.

IL taking up the question of abuses
of the new levee, and ordering the
sand boats to other moorings, the
council last night adopted a course
which all taxpayers will sustain. The
people put their money into a perma-
nent levee with the idea of affording
advantages to all classes of river bus
mess, and at the same time of i'm
proving the appearance of the river
front and keeping it so. Contractors
or others who deliberately mar the
city's property should be deprived of
the privilege of using it. This was
the sense of Aid Wheelan's resolution,
which the council adopted.

PILING UP TESTIMONY.
Nothing But Praise From All
Sources.
Stands High in the Estimation of Those
Who Have Tested Its Merits.

There is no doubt whatever as tO
the merits of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
Judging from the good results obtain
ed right here in Rock Island. Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids are used daily by
many Rock Island citizens and they
all testify without hesitancy
about the great good they have re-
ceived by the use of this great kidney
preparation. Kid-ne-oids will posi-
lively cure kidney backache. diZzi-
ness, sleeplessness, nervousness and
all urinary disorders arising from a
disordered condition of the kidneys.
Another citizen adds his testimony
as follows:
Miss NJ. Powers, 1928 Third avenue,
Rock Island, ILL.,, says: My brother
has complained quite frequently OF
backache. He used Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS which effected complete cure. .
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but yellow tablets and sell at so cents

sens drug store.

Commander Kimbalrs Present Duty.

According to Washington aavices
Lieut.. Commander Kimball, L. S. N,
brother of j. II. Kim ball and Mrs. +.
H. Guyer, of this city, who was recent
ly ordered to proceed with his gun
boat, the Vixen, to to the Philippines,
has little duty to perform on this
side of the world first. Under the in
structions given by Secretary Long
to Lieut.. Commander w. w. Kim
ball. commanding the gun boat Vixen,
now on her way to Bluefields, Near
aqua, that officer will maintain con-
slant Geographic communication with
the department. This order is in adj
dition to that requiring him to pro-
tect American interests along the
central American coast, and is for the
purpose of preventing any Interrupt
tion in the communication between the
men-of-war of the United States cruis-
ing in Genital American waters and the
department. The gunboat Marietta
and, latterly, the cruiser Detroit both
experienced considerable difficulty in
forwarding the messages to the de-
partment and receiving instructions,
due, according to the explanation of
the Nicaraguan government, to an
interruption in the lana lines

They Looked Alike.

A prominent South Side minister re-
lates an experience which, he had the
other night in a street car while he
was returning home.
There was but one other passenger
in the car, u jovial looking man. who
sat in one corner with his hat pulled
down to shade his eyes The minister
felt that the other man was watching
him, but every time he turned his eyes
in that direction the passenger was
looking out of the window and smiling.
Finally their chances met, and the pleas
ant looking passenger kept his eyes fixed
ON the minister's face, scrutiniZing
him carefully. The minister coughed
and looked embarrassed, and then the
other man, looking a little sheepish,
came over and, ling down beside
him. extended a hand, at the same
time saying:
stranger, I've been thinking that
we look so much alike we'd ought to
get acquainted. The minister smiled
and shook the hand, and they soon We're
chatting like old friends. AS the
stranger rose to leave the car he passed
out card, saying:
''Come around when you're down
my way"
After he had gone the minister
glanced at the card and read after the
mans name: wines, liquors and CT

chic in seeking to override the coun-
Gil and take unto himself the duties
both of the legislative and executive
branches of the municipal govern

have any right to their places at all,
they will not deviate one iota from

WEEKS CROP CONDITIONS.
Effect of Unseasonably Cool Weather In
Northern Illinois.

Northern illinois,
The weekly crop bulletin of the Hi
nois section of the weather bureau
shows that in the north half of the
state il has been unseasOnably cool,
whereas in the south half the temper
atures averaged about normal. The
week closed very cool in all districts
Light frosts occurred in few locali-
ties without doing damage. Too much
rain has fallen in the west central
counties, while over the remainder of
the state the rainfall has been ample
The sunshine has been deficient and
all crops now need warm sunshiny
weather Corn planting has been re-
tarded by the cool, wet weather and
not much over two-thirds of the crop
is now in. On account of bad seed,
much replanting is being done No
improvement in wheat reported. The
Hessian fly is now doing damage in %
counties and few cinch bugs have
been seen. Both wheat and rye are
beginning to head. Oats, pastures
and meadows are doing especially well
and clover will soon be ready to cut.
Potatoes are thrifty and but few COM
plants are made of injury by bugs.
Sugar beets and garden truck are
promising and a large acreage of stock
peas is being planted. Complaints OF
apples dropping continue, but fruits
generally, except peaches, promise
fairly good Yields.
