May BE Invited to Participate in Wei
come to Admiral Dewey.
a persistent rumor is going the
rounds of the state to the effect that
three companies are to be selected
from each regiment in the state and
sent to Washington to participate in
the ceremonies attending the well
coming by the nation of Admiral
Dewey on his return. Rumor like
wise has it that the companies Sc
lected from each regiment are to be
determined upon the strength of ell
cheney in workmanship and drill. So
much impressed is the 4th regiment,
which has been in camp ut Springfield
the past week, that the various COM
panies have been drilling their heads
off in their endeavor to get in line for
the prize. If such an opportunity is
to be available Company A. of this
city, should be getting in line to be-
come one of the favored three of the
9th regiment. This regiment, by the
way, is to have chance to 60 to Chi
cago for the big jubilee Oct. 6. Col.
Foster is member of the committee
on arrangements and it is said is de-
termined to have his regiment there
on that date.

ROE PASSES THROUGH.
One.armed Postal Messenger
Travelling Across, the Con-
tinent.
LOSES AN AUTOMOBILE PARTY.

Says He VIII Cover the Distance From
New York to San Francisco on His Wheel
In Two Months-Comes In on the Rock
Island Road Ties-Strikes Bad Stretches
of Country.
Tired and dusty, and wearing
uniform of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, Messenger Boy Albert V. Roe
reached Rock Island today. Although
Roe has but one arm he made the trip
from New York to this city in good
time and expects to break the record
awheel from New York to San Fran
cisco, feeling confident that he will
reach his destination within two
months. Roe was forlorn looking
sight when he alighted from his bicy-
Gle. His bronze complexion gave evil
dence of much hard work in a warm
climate. My ride, or rather walk.
| from Michigan City to Chicago was
the greatest hardship encountered
thus far on my trip" said he. when
1 started out on this journey did not
bargain for a walk over the country,
but the sand hills in Michigan were
too much for me, and l had my own
troubles in getting over them. 1t was
impossible for me to wheel, and of
course / had to walk NV feet are
very sore. but aside from this l must
say that am in good physical condi-
tom
Young Roe left New York at
the same time the automobile party
left for trip to San Franci, GO, but
the party could not keep up the pace
with him and he lost them at SYRIA
cuse. Roe travels on wheel especi-
ally made for him. In the center of
the handlebar there is grip which
helps him in steering his wheel, and
a bar to the right of this grip gives
him additional leverage when he
needs it.
Furnished New Clothing.
Roe left Chicago Tuesday fitted out
with an entire new suit furnished him
by the company there, as his clothing
was in tatters when he reached that
city. He had a tough time of it
Wednesday. The roads were muddy
and heavy and he was compelled to
walk alongside his wheel the greater
part of the day. Yesterday he struck
the Rock Island roads track and rode
the ties into Moline, where he regis
tered shortly after &c o'clock this
morning. He visited the Moline office
and then came on to Rock Island,
where an order for SO was awaiting
him.
Another $10?'' said Roe to Mana
ger Sheldon, who took the order off
the wire. The company is certainly
good to me. l get one of them at
nearly every town strike.''
Roe rested few moments and then
resumed his journey. He has rela-
tiyes at Grinnell, Iowa, where he will
visit.
Roe says he is 10 years of ago. He
said he never travelled at night. But
l suppose its pretty lonesome way out
west there" he said, laughing, as he
started for his wheel, land if you
hear of 'em finding dead one on the
road some day don't be surprised to
find that it is me.''

What does 1T profit a woman if

What does 1T profit a woman if
she gam the whole world of
knowledge and lose her own
health? Young women students,
and school teachers eager, am
bilious, and full of energy, very
often neglect their health in the
struggle to gain education. They
eat insufficient food, and at irreg-
ular hours, they allow irregular
ity of the womanly functions to
be established, and the result is
that they become chronic invalids
with all their education practi-
calIy worthless. There is a PLAIN
road back to health for such as
these, marked by the feet of
thousands. 1t is the use Of DR..
PIerce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry for diseases of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive or
gans, and DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for diseases of the
delicate organs Of womanhood.
A cure So certainly follows the
use of these remedies that out of
hundreds of thousands who have
tried the treatment, ninety-eight
in every hundred have been per-
fectly and permanently cured,
Constipation, with it's calamitous
consequences, which is common
ailment Of students, can be en-
tirely cured by the use of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
