him and begged him not to think of
her, he said humbly that he still
loved the very earth that she trod.
She might not deserve it, but he
would rather die than to live to know
that she had married still another
man, as she was sure to do. SO her
letter came to him as mamma in the

threw aside disguise and wrote again.

her Indifference gave. On the whole,
his last marriage brought him years
of stormy and moonlit happiness.
Not so very many years. His wife
died and his heart was buried with
her. He outlived her for only lit

THROUGH A LARGE STORE
Annual Fall Treat of the Up-to-Date
Firm. Young Il McCombs.

Il
Firm, Young Il McCombs.
The annual fall opening is on at the
| big department store of Young Il Nc
Combs on Second avenue. 1t began
Saturday and will continue to and iu-
| GLIDING tomorrow. Such an array of
the artistic, up-to-date and beautiful
| in all lines of goods for the adorn-
ment OF the feminine form has seldom
been displayed in this section. That
this statement is based on cold facts
there is no stronger corroborative
evidence than the streams of people
who have been visiting the store since
the opening began Saturday
The department that seems >pdrtic-
ularly attractive to the ladies is on
the second floor, where 4 wealth of
millinery designs are on display. and
are shown and fitted by Miss Olson,
who made the selections from the
latest Partisan ideas.
From the top to the bottom of the
store is one bewildering stock of new
and fashionable goods. The attrac-
tive and prettily trim med show win
dows contain only suggestions of what
one can see on a trip through this
interesting establishment, which has
grown to wonderful proportions since
launched by the enterprising proprie-
sors, Messrs. Young Il McCombs, a
few years ago. They have endeav-
ored to provide the best of goods at
the most reasonable prices consistent
with business judgment, and all con-
cede they have succeeded. This sea-
son their crockery department is
thing of beauty. 1t would be imPos-
sible to attempt a description that
would do Justice to the rich wares that
are to be found there. Suffice it to
say that one in need of anything from
a china cup to the most elaborate and
late in this sort of ware can have his
wants satisfied there.
Then the dry goods and finer
les, cloaks, suitings and capes,
toys and art, mattings and carpets,
and finally stoves. A feature is to be
made of the housefurnishing depart
ment. A large consignment of Buck
stoves and ranges have been received,
and a demonstration is to he held the
18th, 9Th, 9th and 9TH of next month
as to the winter of the stoves for cook
ing purposes.
1t is a treat for one to visit Young &
McCombs'. 1t is certainly worth ones
while. They are glad to see you
whether you go to purchase or not.

rear on the second floor and sings the

No Right to Ucliness,

The woman who is lovely in face

friends, but one who would be at

has constipation or kidney trouble,
her impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. 1t gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvet
skin; rich complexion. 1t will make

SESTS BILLY Stiff AGAIN.
Jack Root Awarded Decision In Fight
at Chicago.

Jack Root Awarded Decision In Fight
at Chicago.
The outcome of the fight at Chicago
Saturday night between Jack Root
and Billy Stiff was gratifying to tri-
city admirers of things pugilistic,
who saw these men in the ring some
months ago before the Tri-City Ath-
letic club at Davenport, when Stiff,
who behaves in the roped arena like
Il barroom scrapper, attempted to
foul his adversary, and lost the de-
cisiou. Stiff resorted to much the
same tactics at Chicago Saturday.
Root was awarded the decision over
him at the end of six rounds. Neither
man seemed inclined to risk much for
the chance of getting in a knOck-not
punch and the fight in consequence
was slow. Root kept sending In his
long left for the side of the head and
Jaw of the Northsider. which the
other man returned by endeavoring
to counter with hard rights for the
body. Twice Stiff swung himself off
his feet in Il futile endeavor to swing
bis opponent into a senseless condi-
ton, but each time he fell short. At
the end of the bout, rs Stiff had failed
to land a clean blow, while Root had
been pounding Stif5's face tender all
the six rounds, the decision
was plain.

Thomas RYAN, a riverman, after be-
ing fined $40 for drunkenness Satur-
day, started out again to con-
sumo all the red even in town. About
3 o'clock in the afternoon he found
his way to the Peoria yards near the
Burlington depot and selected rail
on the main track as a convenient
place to doze-apd little did he
care il it proved an eternal sleep.
A switch engine pushing train
of cars came along, and Switchman
Quinn, who was standing on top, no.
ticing the track ahead occupied.
shouted to the man to clear the way
and at the same time signaled the en-
gineer to stop. Quinn, after the train
had come to a standstill, climbed to
the ground and was obliged to use
force to eject the drunken man
from in front of the cars. Ryan re-
marked to a stranger that if he was
killed it would only have been a case
of another stranger finished" by the
cars.
The police were notified, as it was
thought Ryan was bent on shufflipg
off this mortal coil and would throw
himself beneath a train if he was not
watched. Officer Schmid took Ryan
in tow. giving him some advice as to
the easiest way to get out of town.
And Ryan moved on.

INTERHAT|ONA MEET

Session.
TO ENTERTAIN THE DELEGATES.

The Local Unions Complete Arrangements
The Session to be Held at the Rock

Present Grand Officers of the Organize
tion.
Blacksmiths' Union No. 101, of
Rock Island and Davenport, and No.
100, of Moline, at joint conference
at the Rock Island Industrial Home
building Saturday evening, perfected
arrangements for the entertainment
of delegates to the international con-
vention of blacksmiths which assem-
bles here Oct. 2 for a 4-days' session.
The convention will be held at the
Industrial building. The local ar
rangements and reception committee
is composed of Ell Condo, j. L. Smith
Theo TriXtell and Frank Maucker of
100, and Thomas Irwin. Hans Hansen,
William Girdon and William Lindsey
of 1O1. One day the visitors will be
guests of 10l for a ride over the three
cities in carriages. Another evening
they will be banqueted in Moline
William Gordon, of Davenport, is
grand vice president of the interna-
Iional order, and Robert b. Kerr, of
Rock Island. is secretary and treas
urer. As grand officers they are
naturally at the head of the local
movement for the entertainment of
the delegates. John SlOcum, of Chey-
enne, Wyo.. is the grand president of
The order, and Charles Bell, of New
York, the grand organizer. The tri-
cities thus have two of the four grand
officers.
New officers will be elected at the
meeting and the accumulated business
of two, years transacted. Some
changes in the constitution and by
laws will be discussed and probably
made. One may change the present
method of locating the convention.
At present the referendum settles it,
several cities being named and the
order voting upon the location from
or outside of the list of nominations.
This defers the determination of the
location until rather late in the day
and not until July 1 was it known by
the local unions that the meeting
would be held here. There has been
some criticism of this method of
locating the convention. and it may
be changed.
