am one of the sergeants In charge
of the central police station at night,
and during the several years | have
held the position some strange things
have occurred. One of them, and one
that attracted general attention at the
time. was the way the murderer of the
Bolton family walked In on ME one
night A family of five people name,
Bolton living In Missouri was slaugh-
tered one night, and. though every
effort was made to find the murderer,
he got clean off. Two years later, one
night at IL o'clock, a tramp entered
the station and queried of me:
IF | will surrender myself, will you
send out for good luncheon? | have
had nothing to eat for two days"
what crime are you guilty of"
asked without much interest.
Murder. | am the one who killed
the Bottoms out west"
"Yes. I'll lock you up and give you a
luncheon" said. and took him down
stairs. placed him In a cell and then
ordered lunch for him from night
hawk wagon. | hardly believed him
guilty of any crime whatever. but his
face betrayed his hunger, and felt
charitably inclined. Before | went off
duty in the morning | told the fellow
that | should have him sent up as q
vagrant. and II was then that he told
me his story In such words that | could
no Longer doubt him The result you
know. lie was the murderer sure
enough. and he returned TO Missouri to
be tried and hung for his brutal crime.
One night year or so later as | was
eating my lunch at midnight an old
woman who ran laundry entered In
an excited state and asked me if there
was such street in the city as Desoto.
] told her there was. Ii was n narrow
wretched street IN the toughest quarter
of the town. Then she asked me II
there was n cheap hotel called the
Lincoln House on the street. Again !
answered In the Affirmative. II was
resort of bad men and had been raided
several times.
Now. let me tel YOU" she continued,
growing more excited as she talked.
"Soon after | went to bed tonight

the front door and up two flights, and

lying In bed with his clothes on. There
was glass with some whisky In 1t on
a stand near by. | call him drunken
man, but he was more sick than drunk.
He moaned In pain and tossed about,
and while | stood looking at him he
shlvered as with cold and was dead.
Then two men came into the room and
searched his pockets and took out n
large roll of bills. They went out for
a few minutes, and when they returned
they carried the body down stairs, out
through a back door, and they were
crossing the yard In the direction of
tile river when | woke up. You may
call me silly. sir. but fm sure murder
has been done In that house.
The woman's earnestness impressed
me, but policemen are bard headed
lot. To arouse one of the sleeping ex-
tras and send him out to investigate a
dream was an absurd Idea. | had told
the laundress that | could do nothing
In the matter and had tried TO make
light of her fears when a couple or
reporters sauntered in. l had the
woman relate her dream TO them and
suggested that there might be good
item In 1t for them. They could take
longer chances than ! could. and
after talking the matter over they
agreed to go out to the street and hotel
In company. Before doing so they
questioned the dreamer as TO the look
of the street and the house named. 10

scrlptions. | felt positively sure that
she Ind never traversed the street III

the inflammation in the throat and nose and enable
you to breathe more easily and freely but the

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
TO Keep HeaIshy and strong.

A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet. and a mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubt-
edly the best, in spite of the claims
made by vegetarians and food cranks
generally.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the m ost nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or grains.
DIR. Julius Remusson on this sub
ject says: Nervous persons, people
run down in health and of low vitality
should eat plenty of meat. If the di-
gestiol is too feeble at first it may be
easily strengthened by the regular use
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these exc6,lent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousand grains of meat, eggs
or other animal food in three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also
contained in Stuart's Tablets cause
the perfect digestion of starchy foods,
like potatoes, bread, etc., and no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be,
no trouble will be experienced il a
regular practice is made OF using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because
they supply the pepsin and diastase
so necessary to perfect digestion, and
any form of indigestion and stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach
will be overcome by their daily use.
The large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
- nd ira 70
it's complete digestion by the sys-
tematic use of safe, harmless digest
i've medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. composed of the natural
digestive principles, peptoneG and
diastase, which actually perform the
work of digestion and give the abused
stomach chance to rest and to fur
nish the body and brain with the nee
essary nutriment. Cheap cathartic
medicines incorporating under the
name of dyspepsia cure are useless
for relief or cure of indigestion be-
cause they have absolutely no effect
upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its forms is simply
a failure of the stomach to digest
food and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and cure the indigestion is to
make daily use at meal time of a safe
preparation which is Endorsed by the
medical professor and known to con-
tain active digestive principles, and
all this can truly be said of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
All druggists throughout the United
States, Canada and Great Britain sell
them at the uniform price of fifty
cents for full treatment.

lay afternoon. The first train. which
eff that city at $50. was crowded to
he steps with people who had bought
tickets to Rock Island and Davenport,
md there were hundreds at the depot
who couldn't get aboard. The first
rain into Moline, arriving at 3:25,
went on to East Moline. 1t was

the first ticket out of Moline aud the
irst one from Rock Island to Moline.

its passenger trains regularly to No

likely mean the rebuilding of track
and removal of the kinks in the road
way from here to Savanna. The pur-
pose of the consolidation of the two
great systems is understood to be to
