mess.
N REGARD TO NoN-UNIoN LABOR

The Tri-City Labor congress held
its regular monthly meeting yesterday
afternoon, disposing of the usual
amount of miscellaneous business.
The Twin-City Boss horseshoers
brought in complaint against Sher-
if L. F. Cralle, preferring number
of charges against him. The latter
was present at the m Getting and was
heard in his own defense. The charges
were to the effect that the sheriff. who
conducts horseshoeing establishment
in connection with his livery business
in this city and Moline. has discharged
union men while retaining non-union
ones, and that he fails to charge the
rates to outside patrons that have been
agreed upon by other horseshoers in
Rock Island and Moline. A further
allegation was made to the effect that
the sheriff has been using, his Office as
a lever to bring business into his
shop. favoring his patrons in the pur-
chase of Jail supplies, and in some
cases buying in Moline, where he was
given 10 per cent discount.
Enters Denial.
In his reply the sheriff entered a
denial to the charges made as to the
purchase of supplies, and asked the
congress to make an impartial inves-
LEGATION and publish its findings. He
also called attention to the fact that
the journeymen horseshoers are not
organized in this vicinity and no en-
ployer has been asked to discriminate
between union and non-union mon.
The congress took no action in the
matter, showing that the charges
against the sheriff were not considered
of sufficient weight to demand an in
vestigation.
Friends Are Thanked.
A vote of thanks was extended to
those who had personally aided in eff,
fecting a settlement in the Silberstein
Sunday closing controversy and to the
public in general for the sympathy
shown.
Sergeant-at-Arms John Kolloff pre-
sented his resignation as delegate on

extended to him for his past services.

Sluart's Dyspepsia Tablets

Give Perfect Digestion, Sound Sleep, Strong
Nerves-A Popular Remedy for Dyspep-
sia Which Has Made Many Re markabIe
Cures.
The spring of the year is the time
for blood purifiers. II is the season
when we think we must dose our
selves with sarsaparillas, bitters and
the endless list of so-called blood pu-
rifiers and nerve tonics.
As matter of fact, there is but one
possible way in which to purify the
blood aud that is, through the stom-
ach and bowels.
Pure blood results from wholesome
food thoroughly digested. Impure
blood results from poor digestion and
! assimilation. Wien the stomach re-
fuses to work properly the food re-
mains too long time, fermenting,
forming gases, shown by sour, bitter
taste in the mouth. bloating and belch-
| ing of gas, and distress and discom-
fort generally. Poor blood, weak
nerves. sleeplessness and general
don't care feeling can always be traced
to imperfect digestion.
This is the reason why Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are superior to all
other spring medicines and blood
purifiers. They give perfect diges-
ton, the food does not lie in the
stomach for hours. They give a Wig
orous appetite, sound sleep, strong
nerves, and wholesome food well di
gested makes pure blood, and in no
other way can the blood be purified.
The idea that a medicine, in itself,
will purify the blood when the stomach
and digestive organs are out of order is
nonsense. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are used by thousands in preference to
"bitters, - latter dinner pills" and
"blood purifiers" because they re-
move the cause of the impure blood,
and you do not have to take them for
ever to get results. Dyspepsia is an
obstinate disease to cure and a rem
edy must be designed especially for it
and nothing else. Cure-alls will not
cure dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed to cure everything or any
thing except dyspepsia and stomach
troub les, and for sthat it stands alone
among patent medicines. Anyone
suffering from any trouble with their
digestion will find these tablets will
give immediate relief and a perma-
nent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre-
pared by the F. A. Stuart company,
of Marshall. Mich, and sold by drug
gists everywhere at so cents per
package. No dieting or change of
habits is required; they digest the
food.

Committee Meeting.

A meeting was held by the water
works committee of the city council
Saturday evening to hear the story of
some of those who were in a position
to know the manner in which the in
take pipe at the waterworks was laid.
This course was determined upon
as a result of the reports submitted
by DR.. G. G. Craig, ST.. and E. E.
Lockridge in which they stated that
they had been informed by reliable
witnesses that water in the trench at
the time of the laying of the intake
pipe interfered with soldering the
Joints, and further that at least in
one instance a badly cracked pipe
had been laid.
Those who made statements for the
committees information included Ex-
Mayor L. j. Medill, under whose ad-
ministration the work was done; j. A.
Murrin, the waterworks superinten-
dent at that time; w. A Darling. who
was the civil engineer in charge;
Barney McManus, of Davenport, who
was foreman on the work, and others.
A number of persons who were asked
to be on hand failed to appear and
will be examined later.
Saw Work was Done Right.
Mr.. Medill went into the details of
the manner in which the pipe was
laid, stating that he had personally
spent great portion of his time on
the ground when the work was going
on and that he had taken every pre-
caution to have it well aud thoroughly
done. He had had the advice and as
sistance of Mr.. Hooper, at that time
superintendent of waterworks at Dav
EXPORT, where a similar job had just
been com pleted. There were also two
experts engaged to do the leading.
men who thoroughly understood their
business and who attended to the
closing of every joint.
The testimony of Messrs. Murrin
and Darling was similar to that of
Mr.. Medill, each giving further de-
tails going to show that the pipe had
been laid we'll and deep.
One man only, William Adamson.
who had visited the work when it was
going on, claimed that any part of the
work had been improperly done. he
stating that one joint was not proper
ly soldered.
withhoIds Informants' Names.
DR.. G. G. Craig, ST., made state
ment in which he expressed regret
that the testimony of his informants
could not then be made public. He
said, however, that they were in po-
sition to know what they were talking
about and that their story had every
appearance of truthfulness. He said
he would endeavor to induce them to
make public statement later. The
doctor concluded with a renewal of
his recommendation that the pipe be
examined as soon as circumstances will
permit.
Notes of the testimony of each per-
son who was examined were taken and
they will be EN- bodied in report to
the city council.

Alleged Leader of the Horse Thief
Gang is Captured at Monmouth
ILL.,, After Long Chase.
WILL BE BROUGHT TO KENOsHA
Chief of Police Newhouse and officer Hare
Have Gone to Monmouth to Bring
the Criminal Home.

George r. Downs, former henosna
citizen, who is alleged to have been
the leader of famous gang Of horse
thieves in Southern Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois, was arrested last
night at Monmouth, ILL.,, on warrant
in this city charging him with stealing
a team of horses from Harry Kupfer,
the 1iveryman. For the last two weeks
the net had been gathering about
Downs and it was evident that his Ca
reer as a horse thief was at an end
| Officials in all parts OF Illinois ana
Wisconsin were on his trail and the
man was arrested while attempting to
pet out of the reach of the law. When
arrested he denied his identity, but he
answered SO closely the description
that he was landed in jail and within
short time he will be placed oeh1no
the bars in this city.
Chief of Police Newhouse and Othcer
O'Hare left this morning for Mon
mouth and it is probable that they Will
return with their prisoner this even
ing. There will be many charges
against Downs and it is probable that
he will return without requ1s1t1on to
face the charges.
The career of Downs has been a ro-
mantle one. Many years ago he was
a member of a we'll known family IN
Kenosha. but he had been missing
from his. native haunts for many years.
AS an emp1oye of the Balm shops under
the old regime he had large number
of friends in Kenosha and when the
EVENING NEWS first announced the
fact that warrant had been issued Tor
his arrest it caused great deal OF sur
prise among his former friends IN Re
nosha. Downs, it is stated, left Keno
sha on account of trouble with sweet
heart and since he left here he hao
| been travelling the downward path IN
a reckless manner. He never returned
to Kenosha, but it is claimed that the
path of the transgressor proved to De
remunerative one and Downs is said
to have beautiful home in one OF the
leading residence districts Of Chicago.
It has been alleged that his wife and
children were not acquainted with the
crime in which he is alleged to have
been mixed up, but they had always
supposed that the husband and tather
was travelling man.
Downs is accused of stealing many
horses, but the officers seem to think
that it will be exceedingly hard to
trace many of the crimes directly to
| his door, as they a1lege that he has
been at the head of gang of thieves
| who have practiceo their work most
successfully in the last two months.
Downs is alleged to have directed all
these thefts and to have prohtted
largely from them.

UNITED AFTER YEARS.
Napoleon Campana, the Famous Walker, is
wed to His Divorced Wife.

Napoleon Campana, better known IN
the sporting world as cold Sport Cam
pana the Walker was groom again
in this city Wednesday afternoon when
he was united in marriage to Mrs
Jennie Campana, a wife of other years.
The wedding was very quiet affair
being celebrated at the Office of County
Judge Russell L. S1osson with only
number of the county officials as wit
ness.
Before the wedding was celebrated
the groom, who is now seventy-two
years, gave the judge short history
of his life. He had been for some
years the champion six day walker of
the country. He had married his wife
many years ago and they have several
children living. Three years ago the
wife applied for divorce and it was
granted in Chicago. Since that time,
however, the husband has had a
change of heart and with this change
the love of the wife returned and they
decided to spend the closing years OF
their life together.
They returned to Chicago last even
ing and will make their home there.

BISHOP SAVES TWO CHILDREN.

Bishop Nicholson, of the Protestant
Episcopal church, saved two little
children from serious injury at La
Crosse last Sunday when taking the
train for his home in Milwaukee. He
had been in La Crosse to administer
confirmation and was driven to the
Milwaukee depot by Rev. Moller,
rector of Christ church. With them
in the buggy were the two little chill
dren of the rector. Upon reaching
the depot a portion of the harness
gave way and the. horses became I'M
manageable. TO add to the danger
the train began to move and the din
made the horses frantic. Rev. Moller
was in a position where he could not
act and Bishop Nicholson 1eaped light
1y to the ground and dashed after the
runaway team, catching them just IN
time to keep the vehicle from over
turning. He took grave risks in doing
it, but cam out unscathed.

Home of Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Fox
Robbed While Victims Sleep IN
der influence of Potion.
NO REPORT TO THE POLICE
Crime Committed Some Days Ago and the
Criminals Probably Escaped-Get Lit
tie Booty for Their Trouble.

The details of daring crime which
was committed in this city nearly a
week ago, have just been made known
to the police. On last Thursday an
unknown man made an entrance to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Fox
on Park street and giving sleeping
potion to Mr.. and Mrs. Fox he ram
sacked the bed room and carried off
little booty. The man is supposed to
have entered the house by means of a
ladder placed al a second story win
dow. He was not heard at any time
during the night or morning. The
first discovery of the robbery was
made when Mrs. Fox awoke late in the
morning and discovered that her hus-
bands face was covered with black
powder. She awakened Mr.. Fox, who
discovered that his wife's face had
been similarly treated by the bold ma
rauder. The powder was not EXAM
ined, but from the odor it is evident
that it was mixture of chloroform
and charcoal. It had evidently done
it's work we'll, as the victims slept
sound1y for several hours later than
their usual sleeping hours and were
drowsy during the entire day.
1t appeared that the man had made
his way into the sleeping room first
and he must have been an expert not
to have awakened one of the sleepers.
The powder was placed on the faces
by means of douche, as the powder
had also been sprayed over the pillows
and portions of the bed clothes. While
the two people slept the robber was
very busy and he went through every
room of the fiat. Drawers were torn
from the bureaus and everything was
turned inside out. The man was after
money and he carried the trousers of
Mr.. Fox from the bedroom to the win
dow and took out every cent of change.
Luckily the amount was small.
The case was not reported to the po-
lice until today, but they are making
an effort to locate the guilty parties.
There is no clue to their identity, but
it seems probable that the daring
crime was the work of some home tai
emf
