ICE SUPPLY Is SHORT

the central part of the state and in
ST. Louis there is q great shortage in
sight, while in the three cities there

Moline dealers had a good supply in

outside world in few weeks.
Rock Island and Moline dealers are
outstanding their supply and are not
entering into any new contracts to
supply outside parties. Some of the
smaller dealers have even refused to
take new customers in the city, fear
ing they will by 50 doing be unable to
meet the demands of the old ones. In
the face of it all the ice men are unan-
imous in the statement that there
will be no advance in price. This
seems to be the only encouraging
feature in the situation.

The local milk dealers did not get

The Daily Short Story
MILLY'S REVENGE.

Mrs. Somers and her daughter Milly
were iceboatInG in the Snowbird on
Chebacco lake. and Milly was aglow
with pleasurabIe excitement. In the
midst OF burst of merriment her eye
was caught by a boat Just putting out
from the shore. and a glance at its oc-
cupants caused her gay laughter to
die away. while her laughing mouth
was set i'm Il stern, straight line. He
had brought Phebe Arnold iceboating.
All the gloom OF the past week settled
again on Milly's brow. and a curt nod
was her only answer 10 the greeting
from Jack Warren's boat.
y little lump came in NIilly's throat
as she thought what good friends she
and Jack had always been until that
unfortunate speech of hers had sent
him away in 4 rage pursued by her
hooking auchter-laughtcr that had
given way TO n flood of tears almost
before the door had closed upon him.
That Was last Monday night and all
the week AIiliy had waited for him to
come back and forgive her. refusing
TO believe he could desert her for some
other girl. especially Phebe Arnold.
who was one of those helpless girls
who faint at the sight Of mouse and
cling to a man frantically at the very
suggestion OF danger.
1IilIy wondered how Jack could en-
dure such babyish ways, and then as
she cOntemptuOusly watched Phebe's
pretty, appealing gestures scheme
came into her mind and fixed itself
there and would not he driven away.
1t was unworthy of her. and Milly
knew II. but Il WILL she thought,
setting her lips even more firmly. Il
will give her a fright that will make
Phebe Arnold act SO foolish that Jack
Warren will never want TO look at her
again"
Raising her voice. AIilly called to the
owner of the Argus. who brought his
boat up alongside the Snowbird.
Wont you get i'm and try my boat,
Miss Arnold<' she asked cordially.
Papa, please get into Mr.. Warren's
boat while / take Miss Arnold in here.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST
To Hay Fever Sufferers

Sufferers from hay fever and sum
mer catarrh will be interested to

expensive but effective home treat
ment for this obstinate and battling
disease, and that a little booklet
fully describing the treatment will be
mailed free to anyone by addressing
the +. A. Stuart company, Marshall
Mich.
Doubtless this statement of a
cure and positive preventative of
hay fever will be received with skep-
ticism by the thousands who have
found the only relisf every year was
a change of climate during the sum-
no er months.
But whether skeptical or not it will
cost nothing to investigate this new
treatment. Simply send name and

the treatment, contains a concise
treatise on the cause and character of
this peculiar disease.

ANOTHER STORY OF RIOT
Mr.. McMaster Finds inaccuracies In the
Account From Dubuque.


Mr.. McMaster Finds Inaccuracies In the
Account From Dubuque.
Rock Island. July 25.-Editor AR
GUS: In your account of the "Riot
on the River" taken from the Du-
buque Times, find many grave mis-
takes. In the first place the rioters
were not raftsmen; they were harvest
hands, mostly from the southern
states, who, at the close of the civil
war. sought employment in the har-
vest fields, commencing in the wheat
fields in southern Illinois and drifting
up north to Minnesota.
The government officers on the is
land had nothing to do with the sup
preston of the riot, none of the riot
ers was sentenced to the states prison
for 10 or % years, no Is negroes were
killed, but three or four were thrown
over board.
The true account of this affair is
this: When Capt. John Rhodes, COM
mander of the Burlington, passed up
the river, the boat did not stop at
either Rock Island or Davenport,
and from the indications that ap-
peared on the boat the people here
knew that there was trouble. Fifty
men, many of them soldiers. under
the command of Maj. j. NJ. Beardsley,
started on two fiat cars up the river
in pursuit. The steamer was over
taken at Clinton, captured and
brought back to Rock Island.
When the boat landed here q guard
was placed on the gang plank, and
the rioters were marched ashore. An
intelligent negro who was on the boat
and who saw the commencement of
the riot stood at the end of the gang
way and as the rioters were passing
he would identify them by saying,
this man was in de fuss" and each
one that he identified was taken and
afterwards marched off to Jail. A
large number were taken to tne Jail.
They were tried at the next
term Of court. The notorious NJ
G. Johnson, of Gslena, defended
them. He during the civil war held
reasonable correspondence with the
governor of Virginia, telling that there
was a large rebel element in Galena.
and that if the rebel prisoners held on
Rock Island could be liberated great
blow might be given to the union
cause. For this reasonable CORES
pondence he served a term in Fort
Lafayette. These rioters were finally
set free. do not recollect the reason
given for their release.

A BUTTER HINT.
See BeIow-Why Use Cream With You
Grape-Nuts-AnO Oily Habit.

See BeIow-why Use Cream With Your
GraPe-Nuts-An oily Habit.
There are people who become I'M
consciously addicted to the butter
habit; that is to say, they like butter
and gradually eat little more as the
months 60 by, until they find they
have consumed, each meal, quite d
quantity of fat that they have not
vitality enough to properly digest.
This indigested substance causes
more or less catarrh of the stomach
and trouble with the bowels.
The remedy, of course, is to largely
cut down the allowance of butter, and
for two or three nights sup nearly a
quart of very hot water, just before
going to bed. This washes out the
stomach and bowels and gives them
renewed vitality. Then the person
should, for a few mornings at least,
rely on good, rich cream. with Grape
Nuts, for breakfast. letting out the
butter altogether. The cream gives
all the fat needed.
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an
ideal portion of any breakfast.

so long in one position, so reluctantly
Phebe stepped aboard the Snowbird,
ashamed of her fears and yet feeling
instinctiveIy that Milly was not quite
so friendly as she appeared.
The Snowbird, sheltered by the shore,
went at n very moderate pace at first,
but as soon as Phebe was chatting mer-
riIy away in temporary forgetfulness,
all suspicious allayed, Milly sent the
boat out into the open, where in the
strong wind the Snowbird. like its
namesake, seemed fairly to fly through
the air.
"Oh, Miss SOmersr exclaimed Phebe,
Mt last aroused by their rapid fight.

Il can't" said Milly. bringing the
boat up into the wind with such
sharp turn that Phebe screamed.

The Snowbird, to a novice's eye. was
now apparently out of control. but an
expert would have seen that AIilly's
grasp on the tiller was unrelaxed and
that NIiIIy's eve measured distances I'M
erringly Now the boat seemed rushing
upon n ledge of rocks and just escap-
ing by n miracle; now she went flying
among the other boats so that Phebe's
screams and pleadings for help could
be plainly heard
AIiIIy smiled grimly. To the other boat
ers. who could see that the Snowbird
was merely doing a few fancy turns,
Phebes actions must appear ridiculous.
Jack Warren's opinion of her could not
be very high now. NIilIy thought. while
his opinion of Milly herself mattered
nothing. Doubtless he could not en-
terrain a worse one.
But the height OF Milly's folly was
yet to appear. At one end Of the lake
the ice cutters had left large area of
ice marked out. and where they had
been cutting a great gulf of inky black
water yawned.
The Snowbird began to fly back and
forth over this marked ice, and with
each of Phebe's terrified cries the fire
of revenge burned fiercer in Milly's
breast.
Nearer and nearer the edge of the
black opening the Snowbird clrcled,
and then Milly's excited brain spun
round and round, the main sheet slip
ped from her nerveless fingers, and the
Snowbird, carried along by her own
impetus. plunged with tremendous
splash into the dark water, half filed.
rolled helplessly n moment and then
righted herself and lay floating on the
surface of the lake.
There was no danger, and Phebe's
piercing screams soon brought relief,
but MiIly's mad fit was over. The icy
plunge had restored her to her right
mind, and it was a very penitent and
self accusing girl who was quietly
wrapped up and taken home by Jack
Warren.
