cupied itself several hours last night
in sending out the letters, in which
are set forth the conditions of Pro-

to build a theatre here. 1t is stated
that The plan is for a modern play

over half the amount required, has
been subscribed in first-night ticket

as a difficult -ene; that the plan is
one that has been established from
the accomplishments of other cities

only practical one on which a

can be secured in a community whose
population is of average proportions,
and that it is essential to enlist the
services of an experienced promoter
is obvious to any one who has given,
or will give, the subject careful con-
sideration, as theatre enterprise in
cities of the class of Rock Island is not
in itself a profitable investment, and
it does not readily invite capital where
adequate return is anticipated.
Committee Fully Satisfied.
The committee further states it has
adopted Mr.. Johnston's proposal only
after careful study and investigation.
He stands ready to provide for Rock
Island a large, fine $4,000 opera
house, with all of the modern improve
ments, auditorium on the ground
floor, with two galleries, on condition
that the seating capacity for the first
nights performance is bought at SO
per seat and 500 for boxes. He is
willing to bond himself in any amount
for the faithful execution of his con-
tract, and will not collect a single
subscription until the building is un-
der roof. He guarantees to employ
noue brt local organized labor, and
where he can do so, with all conditions
being equal, to use only home material
in construction.

have been a losing ore, and discord
arising with his partner, Burley sold

was taken with Bright's disease, he

A friend gave him lodging until
last Saturday, when his case had be-
come so serious as to make some

facts and Burley was placed on board

his disease, he left the train at Milan,

his actions that he was drunk. I'm
der this impression Agent Rhoadar-

ScHNELL QUITS TOWN:

Passing events lead to the conclu-
sion that Matthias Schnell, the well
known contractor, who has been so
much involved in legal controversies
in local courts. and over whose head
hang two indictments has decided to
hereafter give Rock Island a wide
berth and take up his residence in
unknown parts, presumably in Eu-
rope. All his personal effects have
been moved from his home in
this city. to Davenport, and his
wife has gone, avowedly, to join. her
husband. wherever he may be. JOS
eph Beglund, the lawyer from New
York. who came here to defend Mr..
Schnell in damage suit before the
circuit court last month, has straight
ened out his affairs as far as possible
and left for the east.
Mr.. Schnell left here last spring
and spent the summer in Germany.
Early in the winter he is known to
have returned TO this state, and some
think he even paid secret visit to
Rock Island,
The indictments referred TO were
brought by the September grand jury
and are under two charges, conspir-
aey and subornation of perjury. In
the former Mr.. Schnell and Dan Drost
are similarly implicated for alleged
fraud in securing the dismissal of a

CARRIED TOO FAR.
The Fear of Being Deceived Hum
plugged Prevents Many People From
Trying q Good Medicine

Trying GOOu medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases so obstinate to cure,
that people are apt to look with sus-
picion on any remedy claiming to be
radical permanent cure for dyspep-
STA and indigestion. Many such peo-
pic pride themselves on their acute
ness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can
be carried too far. so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk q
little time and money in faithfully
testing the claims made for remedy
so reliable and universally used as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary patent medicines,
for the reason that they are not a Sc
cret patent medicine; no secret is
made of the ingredients. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin

tase. They are not cathartic, neither
do they act powerfully on any particu-
lar organ, but they cure indigestion on
the common sense plan of digesting
the food eaten thoroughly before it
has time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief This is the only secret
of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles, because they act only on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is
all there is to it. Food not digested
or half digested is poison, as it Gre

~CHIlDREN'S TEETH.

Children should be taught early to
use the toothbrush, and the substance
of the following rules should be i'm
pressed constantly upon them:
The teeth should be cleansed at least
once daily.
The best time to clean the teeth Is
after the last meal.
A small toothbrush with stiff bristles
should be used, brushing up and down
and across and inside and outside and
In between the teeth.
A simple tooth powder or n little soap
and some precipitated chalk taken up
on the brush may be used IL the teeth
are dirty or stained.
1t Is a good practice to rinse the
mouth after every meal.
All rough usage Of the teeth, such rs
cracking nuts, biting thread. ETC.,
should be avoided. but the proper use
of the teeth In chewing Is good for
them.
When decay occurs, 1t should be at.
tended to long before any pain results.
1t Is stopping the small cavity that is
of the greatest service.-Motherhood.

The cherry likes n good soil, but does
