Do You Read During the Evening?

Have you good light to read by? Do you want a good light? Have you found that coal oil is high in this coun- try?
 Do you want to save money? Have you ever seen the Belgium burner?
 Do you want to see it? If you read during the evening snd want the brightest and best light to read by, if you want to save money to the amount of several dollars during the next few months, you will find it to your inter- est to call and see our line of lamps. The Belgium burner uses 40 per cent less coal oil and gives about 20 per cent better light than a Rochester burner. Three gallons of coal oil goes as far in one of our Belgium lamps as five gal Ions does in a Rochester, and at the same time gives One-ffth more light. All this means the saving of the price of d lamp in one year, besides better light. We have a large line of these lamps at prices ranging from $4, com plete with shade, to $S.50. They are all beauties and we will be glad to show them to you whether you purchase one or not. Remember that we carry a large line of Hardware Stoves and House Furnishings at bargain prices.

A MAGNETIC HEALER
is PLACED UNDER FIRE.

The state board of health is on the
track of Prof G. A. Lundgren, the
magnetic healer, located in the Ro-
senstein building, Moline. Suit has
been brought against him for practic-
ing medicine without license. The
title of the suit is The People of the
State of Illinois for use of the State
Board of Health vs.. G. a. Lundgren.
This suit is brought by Attorney
Meese for the state board of health,
under the state law. and is in the ma
ture of 4 civil proceeding. In ease
Prof. Lundgren should be found guilty
and fail to pay the fine imposed by
the state law, he would be sent to the
county Jail. The case will be heard
IN the court of Justice Gould, before
whom it is returnable next Friday.
There have been stories for some
weeks past to the effect that Prof.
Lundgren has had too many boy Wis.,
itors, and that he has been exercising
an undue influence over them, hypno-
thing them and causing them to do
whatever he would have them do.
He was alleged to have exercised in
huence over the Brooks boy, recently
sent to the industrial school at Glen
woed, and others. The board of edu-
cation took the matter up, and it was
found that no city ordinance seemed
to have been violated. The matter
was next referred to the state board
of health, with the result that the
suit referred TO above has been
brought.
