The Presidents message was made
the excuse for selling Of all classes of
securities In Wall street stock market
on Tuesday last. The clause relative to
trusts was the subject Of much concern
during the morning and all the indus
trail properties were under pressure in
consequence. Advance reasoning as to
what course would be recommended
proved to have been unusually close to
the next Of the document. All OF the
properties included in the industrial
classification were considered as being
under the ban of political disapproval
and were sold down by the room.

During the winter of 1897 James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co.. w. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severe
ly. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any re-
lief until he began using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most complete cure in week time
and he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had
to be amputated. Pain Balm is un-
equaled for sprains. bruises and rheu-
matism. For sale by all druggists.

port this morning, the stockholders
assembling at the company's office

tiers. The reports of the officers
showed the property to be in a pros
porous condition, and that while of
the good returns yielded the past year
much had gone back into the property
in liberal expenditures for general
improvements, there was no grumb-
ling on the part of the stockholders
on that score. The Moline Central
has been purchased, an immense ad
dition built onto the car house in
Davenport, a new line built on the
island, and the plant generally i'm
proved, both in track and equipment.

The fishing from the Mississippi
yesterday of the body of a fe-
male babe disclosed evidence of q
cruel crime. the author of which
will probably never be known.
George Fleener, Frank Wilson, Harry
Gillispie and Albert Wilson, boys,
were playing on the shore near the
Rock Island X Peoria railway depot on
Twentieth street, when they were at
tracted by floating object. 1t was
so small they thought it was dead
kitten, but when it came closer and
one of the lads rolled it with his foot
and turned up the little face they were
Mortified and at first did not know
whether to run away and say nothing
about their discovery or notify the
authorities. They decided finally to
pull the body near to shore and an
Choir it and tell the police.
Authorities Have Remains.
Chief Miller and Detective Fender
took them to the station to await or

The child, probably, had never
lived. The right foot was gone and
the bowels were protruding. 1t was
entirely nude. The body had been in

SUMMER DAY IN AUTUMN.
Thermometer Registers "a In the Shade

Indian summer was sidetracked yes
terday by wave of the genuine July
article. 1t registered early and held
the boards until well on toward even
ing, when the atmosphere was changed
considerably by a cooling wind. The
official thermometer registered 81. 1t
became so warm that those who had
donned their fall buds were made I'M
comfortable. Many changed. The
parks were filled with people who
promenaded under parasols. The boy
who had not shaken his summer suit
smiled. He was right in the swim.
The girl who expected to flash that
lovely golf cape was disappointed. 1t
was too bad, too, for the chances are
it may rain next Sunday, and the Sun
day following it's just likely it will be
cold enough for furs and ear muffs.
