fishers and to good farming, for, of all
the papers of it's class in this country, it
is easily the best and most helpful. Its
Special Farmers Institute editions,
issued with the regular edition the first
week in each month, have been for
years the admiration of all practical
farmers. Written wholly by farmers,
full of actual experience and smell of
the soil. We have been fortunate
enough this season to secure terms for
The Homestead and it's Special Farmers
Institute Editions, together with The
Poultry Farmer and The Farmers Nut

valuable farm publications in the
country, that enable us tC offer the
four in connection with the REPUBLICAN

This is emphatically good thing, and
no farmer i'll this county should fail TO
take advantage of this offer. For a
large line of thoroughly practical farm
reading nothing has ever been offered
before that equals it. A county paper

amount of gossip in such places. Why

Night.

Billy Smith, of Peoria. who was
scheduled to go 10 rounds last night at
Rock Island Turner hall with Rufus
Phoenix the Moline colored boy,
failed to materialize at the hour ap-
pointed for the beginning of the mill.
and Charley Jones, another Moline

consented to play substitute. The
scrappers went 10 rounds, NJ the con-
clusion OF which the referee. Heinie
Holdorf, declared it a draw.
Doubtless the fight would have been
more interesting had Smith appeared.
His failure to do SO was n disappoint-
ment to the coterie of admirers of the
manly art who had gathered at the
ringside. Just why Smith did not re-
port was not clear to the audience,
although the understanding was, as in
all such cases, he missed railroad con-
nections.
However, the spectators felt that
they got their moneys worth. for
Phoenix and Jones put up lively
tight. which. while devoid of science,
was at intervals highly exciting.
Phoenix was the more aggressive.

He was the favorite with the crowd,
and in return for the 'Jollving" that
he WAS receiving from those at the
ringside attempted to demonstrate
his superiority over his adversary by
administering knockout, but Jones
proved too tough proposition, al
though he was once sent TO the floor,
and was pretty dizzy when the gong
was sounded at the end of the last
round. 1t was apparent that Jones
could not have stood up before Phoe-
nix much longer.

Success That Has Attended Clemann 3
SaIzmann's Efforts to Please.
One must take n trip through the
furniture house of Clemann 4 Salz-
mann in order to appreciate the mag
nitude of the establishment, which
has grown to such proportions that,
although occupying many hundreds
of feet of floor space. the firm is
cramped for room in which to display
the most elegant variety of house
furnishings that it is necessary to
carry to meet their rapidly increas-
ing trade, which extends not only
over the three cities. but far beyond,
for the house aud the men who con-
due: it have won a firm place in the
public confidence. not alone by fair
dealing. hut in never failing to have
in stock Just what suits both the
taste and purse.
In the years they have been en-
gagged in the business Clemann &
Salzmann have studied the wants of
their patrons and the result is that
seldom one visiting their store in
search of goods in the furniture or
carpet line goes away without secur-
ing exactly what ne went after.
Their reputation has been built by
satisfying the people-giving them
honest goods at fair prices.
Clemann & Salzmann, while they
are heavy purchasers from the fac
tories, have learned that more salts
factory work can be accomplished in
the making of certain articles if it is
turned out under their direct super
vision, and 10 this end have for some
time been manufacturing most of the
parlor furniture that they carry. This
enterprise has proven very successful,
and before long we may expect to see
the firm branching out on even a
larger scale in this direction.
1t is not to be doubted that Clemann
IL Salzmann handle the largest stock
of any house in the vicinity in the
way of late designs and styles in fur
nlture. carpets, rugs. etc. They have
the advantage over their competitors
from the fact that they buy in large
quantities, their carpets coming direct
from the mills, their patrons thereby
receiving the benefit of the jobber's
or middleman's profits.

splendent just now with all in the

A PROFESSIONAL WOMAN.
ExperImenls Made WIN Food.

A certain professional woman in
New \ Ork. connected with one of the
large institutions there, has had Gu
rious experience with an experiment
in using a certain kind of food. 1t
seems that in October last she had a
serious illness and was ut the point
of death, the brain and body in the
last stages of exhaustion. Her re-
markable experience with the food
was brought to the attention of the
makers by some of her friends, and in
reply to letter, she wrote as fol-
lows:
al have no objection TO the public
knowing of the wonderful transfer
nation my system has undergone by
the use of Grape-Nuts since Novem-
ber 1899. l began using the food
wnen convalescing and when in an
exceedingly low condition, and used
a small quantity and became so fasci
mated with the flavor that l gradu-
ally discontinued nearly all other
food. including tea and coffee.
up to now 1 have consumed about
$50 packages and have gained 20
pounds in flesh. Am a marvel to all
my friends who are aware Of my for
mer state of health. There are about
fifty families who have adopted the
use of Grape-Nuts because of my ex-
perience. You can give my name
and home address, but do not mention
my professional connection. Mrs
n. Wood. 832 Amsterdam avenue,
New York City.
There is a reason. The makers of
GrapeNuts select certain parts of the
grains in the field that contain deli
cate particles of phosphate of potash
and albumen. These elements, when
com bined in the human body. go di-
rectly to rebuild the gray matter in
the brain and nerve centers of the
body.
This is demonstrated fact and can
be proven by any one who cares to
make the test. When one nourishes
and builds up the brain and nerve
centers, that is practically the key
note to the whole health proposition.
for when the nervous system is in
perfect Poise, all parts of the body re-
spoud.
Grape-Nuts are for sale at all the
large grocery stores in the country
and can be found in use in practically
all of the best families in America.
