TAIL OF A CYCLONE.
Wind Cuts Peculiar Franks in
Rock Island To-
day.
PLAYS HAVOC AT LUMBER YARDS

Boards Carried Into the River. Large
Smokestack Knocked Down and TeIe-
graph Poles Lifted Over a Train of Cars
-DrenchinE DowDpour Accompanies the
, Blow.
Ominious clouds that had been
lowering overhead from an early hour
this morning developed into L min
iature cyclone about 10 o'clock. The
blow ushered in drenching rain
which was accompanied by sprink-
ling of hail stones. They were not of
the Kansas goose-egg size, but they
were numerous, and indicated the
violent character of the storm.
People say that from Twenty-fourth
to Twenty-eighth streets there was
a sudden chill IN the atmosphere. This
was possibly the course of the
cyclonic tail-ender. 1t played pecu-
liar pranks ut the Rock Island Lum Der
company's yards. Fortunately the
mill was not in operation or doubtless
there would have been some accidents.
From several of the high lum Der piles
boards were lifted like feathers and
carried into the river, where they
were gathered up in skifrs by en-
ploycs of the company.
Smokestack Lowered.
The 50-foot sheet iron smokestack
of the engine room of the Rock island
Sash IL Door works was lowered.
Three telegraph poles were lifted out
of the ground and carried over a train
of cars. The damage to the lum ber
company is $50 and to the sash fac
tory $3.50.
There were also several sharp
flashes of lightning, which burned out
number of telephones.

Rower. ouaIInes Refore schafrer.

Charles NJ. Bowers, township col
lector-elect, qualified before City Clerk
Schaffer today and his credentials
were duly acknowledged. There was
some question, it will be remem bered
about Mr.. Bowers having permitted
the time to elapse in which he was
required to discharge this duty, and
while the law is clear, ii is claimed the
supreme court has passed on the sub
lect in manner that removes the
time limit in the case. Under the law,
rs it appears, the duty of appointing
him under the circumstances is vested
in the city council.

SEASONS OPENING GAME
Rock Island and Rockford Meet on the
Diamond To-day.


The weather came within an ace oi
scoring a victory over baseball today.
Dark and ugly clouds gathered early
and there soon followed heavy
shower and blow. Then the sun
peeped out for awhile. President NJ.
Ii. Sexton and Secretary l.. q. Eddy,
of the local association, have stiff
necks from rubbering heavenward
hoping for a cessation of hostillties
on the part of the elements.
But the game went on just the
same, Notwithstanding the wet con
dition of the grounds.
Both teams, accompanied by
Bleuer's band, toured the three cities
this afternoon in an electric train.
All the stores closed from 3 to and
there was a fine attendance, consider
ing the weather, at the park when the
game was called at 3 p. m. Mayor
McConochie and mem bers of the coun-
Gil attended. The first ball was tossed
over the plate by Mayor McConochie,

Give the Children a Drink

Called Grain-O. 1t is delicious, ap.
petizing, nourishing food drink to
take the place of coffee. Sold by all
grocers and liked by all who have
used it because when properly pre-
pared it tastes like the finest coffee,
but it is free from all its in urious
properties. Grain-O aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. 1t is not
a stimulant, but health builder, and
children, as well as adults, can drink
it with great benefit. Costs about
one-fourth as much as coffee. ID and

THE FRATERNAL TRIBUNES

The following letters have been re-

surance society:

ADJUSTMENTS.

The engagement this evening ut the
| Burtis of the great star triumvirate,
Louis James Kathryn Kidder and. d.Fred-
erick Ward and their great brilliant
coterie of associates in the School for
Scandal. brings forcibly to mind that
the field of the Shakespearean or le-
giumate drama, as represented by
| actors of the older school, is narrowed
down to this one excellent organiza-
ton. Managers Wagenhals aud
Kemper have brought together the
greatest test of the survivors, of the old
school that produced Forrest, Nc
Cullough, Booth, Barret, Keene and
others. The American stage has
known no greater eXponents of that
| form of the drama known as heroic
| tragedy than Louis James and Fred
erick Warde. OF all the actors now
living who have won renown in those
| roles which are classed in the highest
| realm of tragedy. these two artists
stand easily in the front rank. In
Miss Kidder is centered one of the
chief hopes of the women of the
American stage. The character with
which she has heretofore been chiefly
identified (Madam Sans Gene)
served to show various phases of her
art. An important characteristic of
her acting is, that she can approach
and cross, when necessary, that thin
border line combination of art and
nature. In support of the triumvi-
rate of stars are the Jeune premier,
Barry Johnstone, the veteran Harry
Langdon, Collin kemper. Norman
Hackett. Thomas Coffin Cook, Charles
Clark, Misses Loretta Wells, Aphie
James, Mrs. Henry Nandenhoif and
others.

lin the Knobs O'Tennessee, with

The faVOrable Weather Etc, Has Con-
tinued.
According to the observations of
the Illinois division of the agricultural
department the splendid conditions of
the previous week continued during
the past: it was warm, generally fair
and highly favorable. The temper
ature averaged from II to 15 degrees
daily above normal; rainfall increased
from light showers over all eastern,
central and southern counties to more
than two inches along the upper
Mississippi river, and sunshine aver
aged more than 30 per cent of the pos
sible amount. The showers of the
week were largely thunderstorms and
some damage is reported from west
ern counties; rain is needed in eastern
counties. Vegetation was forced
ahead very rapidly; grasses now af-
ford pasturage over almost of-the
state, trees are in leaf, fruits i'll full
bloom, and the season making rapid
strides. Over the south half of the
state wheat is much improved and
yet but little will remain to mature
in central counties. Oats are sown
and coming up finely; potatoes and
gardens have been planted and are
growing nicely, with some early gard
en- truck on the markets. Flowing
has been pushed; some corn is already
in and planting will be general this
week; early planted corn in the south
ern district is up, but rather uneven
because of poor seed. The acreage
will probably be large from the loss
of clover, and wheat over the north
half of the state.
