and there was still the better part of an

tain that they would more than once
have gone very far astray indeed in
their efforts to retrace the path which
they had taken in the morning, for in
the moonlight the shadows gave decep-
tive appearances of easy gullies where
there were in reality nothing but ugly
holes and of gentle slopes which closer
approach showed to be sheer precipices.
Every step had to be picked, and care
fully picked too.

More Trouble for Collier.

says: Frank Collier, the lawyer,
forced himself upon the attention of
the police again last night after man
aging to keep out of trouble for sew
eral months. Collier arrived at the
Union passenger station shortly be-
fore IL O'Clock, when the train shed
was crowded with men and women
anxious to board late trains. He had
ticket calling for passage from Elgin
to Chicago and insisted it entitled him
to ride to Galesburg from Chicago.
The trainmaster couldn't agree with
Collier. and after heated argument
the lawyer tried to force his way
past the gate. The gatemau was not
equal to the task of suppressing the
belligerent and he summoned Police
man LAWN, of the central detail, who
placed Collier under arrest and sent
him to the Desplaines street station"

KILLS ALL GERM s.

The Gem Laundry Has Established the
First and Only A utiseptic Laundry Here.
There is large increase IF patron
age from physicians aud others who
believe that all germs of disease
should be killed in the work of the
laundry. An antiseptic laundry in
all particulars is the welcomed addi-
ton to the already great reputation
sustained by the Gem laundry. This
institution has always been first in all
lines of improvements in order to give
the people an ideal laundry. Their
latest as we'll as greatest advancement
lies in their recent adoption of DIR.
George Leininger's form aldehyde gem
orator, using solditied formaldehyde
in the drying rooms of their laundry.
This manner of disinfection is the
same as adopted by the leading health
departments in America. Canada and
Europe. In this way the air becomes
thoroughly charged with formalde-
hyde vapors, positively killing all dis
ease germs which may be in the
clothes or in the air. DIR. George
Leininger's solidified formaldehyde is
the most powerful germicide and an
tiseptic yet discovered, but at the
same time entirely harmless to the
finest fabrics. 1t has been most graf
flying to the genial proprietors to note
the already large increase of patron
age. especially from physicians, who
were the first to appreciate the great

noting the health aud welfare of the

Miss Bybee Heard From.

Miss Marion Bybee, the California
heiress, whose story of strange wan.
behring's has been related. is now at
the home of her sister in Fredonia,
Kas. She has written letters to
friends in Davenport expressing
thankfulness for being situated among
relatives and stating that she would
always have pleasant memories of her
visit there. The San Francisco papers
published long accounts of Miss By
bees romantic experiences in this vi
cinity, and the following reference to
the young lady will be read with in
terest, as it throws new light upon
her life at home:
Miss Marion Bybee is the daughter
of w. f. Bybee. who lives in Los
Gatos, but she always made her home
with her uncle, l. P. Drexler, who
left her large portion of his fortune
when he died. With Mrs. Drexler
she resided at the family home, 2424
Cough street. in this city, until few
weeks ago.
"On the 18th of this month she
started for New York to visit old
friends of the family. Her aunt re-
c4ived letters from her posted at va
rious places along the route going
east and had no idea the girl had met
with any difficulties.
when she heard that her niece
was wandering through Iowa penni-
less and apparently demented, Mrs.
Drexler telegraphed to the girls
sister, Mrs Epna Hollis, of Fredonia,
Kas., who will take charge of her.
According to her aunt. Miss Bybee
has always bken a particularly bright
girl, quiet and of good habits. She
can offer no explanation of her acting
except to say that she might have
been on her way to visit her sister at
Fredonia and have been overcome by
the heat.
w. H. H. Hart, the attorney of
the Drexler estate, says that Miss
Bybee will fall heir to the larger part
of 800, 900 when the estate is set
