Waterworks Employees Find False Teeth
of q Visitor.
One of the most pronounced cases
of Observation-Disclosures on record has
come under the eye of the employees
of the city waterworks. One day
this week sightseer came into the
city pump house to see the big engine
work, and for the sake of comfort
while so engaged, he took his upper
false teeth out and laid them on the
windowsill. Wonder at the big easy
running machine apparently COM
pletely turned his head and he de-
parted toothless. The bunch of
pseudo-maxilliary appendages later
came under the watchful eye of Engi-
neer Walter Wise. who turned them
over to Supt. Witherell. and they are
now held subject to Identification at
the city clerks office.

IT IS A SORRY STORY
Experiences of Rock Is 4 Girls
Charged With Shoplift-
ing in Davenport.
YOUNGSTERS BECOME INTOXICATED
Ride in Patrol, Night at House OF
Detention and Police Court
Trial.

The testimony in the trial of Annie
Murray, Maggie Murray and Jennie
Nesbitt. the three Rock Island girls
who, as told in last evenings ARGUS,
were arrested in Davenport for theft
at the st. Onge store, showed that it
was no ordinary case of shoplifting.
The ages of the girls range from IA
to 16. Several of the features of the
case caused Chief Kessler and Police
Matron Hill to declare that it eclipsed
anything that had come under their
observation during their years of
experience. The Democrat says, as
the girls told their story, ''they had
come to Davenport TO make some
purchases, when the Nesbit girl re-
mem bered she was acquainted with
Arthur Welchman, proprietor of the
Shady Side saloon. on Third street
near Perry. She says she wanted to
borrow so cents to buy valentines
with, and went to Mr.. Welchman' IS
place and asked for loan. He de-
clined to be touched, but set up the
whisky all around. The girls all say
that that one drink settled them, and
they couldn't remember another thing
until yesterday morning, except that
one of them had indistinct recollec-
tion of being hustled up flight of
steps into big covered wagon. They
couldn' It remem Der leaving the Shady
Side going to st. Onge's, or any
thing else.''
But lots had happened that they had
forgotten. Police Matron Hill testi-
fed that each of the Murray girls vom-
tied at least quart of whisky as soon
as they got TO the house of detention

Larger Building to Accommodate Grow
Ing Needs of the City.
While the destruction of the high
school is great misfortune and loss
to the city and its educational system
in time and Inconvenience. and to tt e
pupils and patrons in the matter {
books, yet there is one compensating
thought in the assurance that Rock
Island will now have high school
building that will accommodate the
growing demands of the city, as the
structure burned today. notwithstand-
ing that only few years ago it was
enlarged to twice its size, had already
been found to be inadequate to the
needs. The high school Taculty held
q conference this morning with Su-
perintendent Hayden to devise means
of caring for pupils pending the re-
placing of TIE building. The plan
most favored and the one that will
likely be adopted by the board of edu-
cation at special meeting tonight is
the transferring of the pupils from
Kemble to Lincoln school and the oc-
cupancy of the former by the high
school classes. Kemble school is CEN
trally located aud can be arranged to
serve the purpose for the time being,
at least.
Notes of the Fire.
A brand new piano costing $500,
which was installed at the school only
few days ago, is mum bered among
the lost, and an old piano was also de-
stroyed.

Pneumonia Can be Prevented.

This disease always results from q
cold or an attack of the grip and may
be prevented by the timely use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. That
remedy was extensively used during
the epidemics of la grippe for the past
few years, and not a single case has
ever been reported that did not re-
cover or that resulted in pneumonia,
which shows it to be a certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous disease.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
gained world wide reputation for its
cures Of colds and grip. For sale by
all druggists.

For the weakness and prostration

IMPORTED GAME
BIRDS ARRIVE
Two Dozen English Partridges
Liberated in the Waldo
Hills.

The Marion County Rod aud Gun
Club yesterday received it's share Of the
English partridges recently imported by
Oregon sportsmen. and the little
beauties were liberated on the big Waldo
ranch at Macleay. The Salem club
Joined with the clubs at Albany, Inde'
pendence and Portland in the importa-
ton Of a large number Of these isvorite
game birds. They we're secured at s.
per pair, but 80 many died on board
ship that the price figures up nearly
double that amount. These birds are
smaller than native partridge and
longer than our quail. but favor the
latter in there characteristics, and are
a most handsome game bird The
members Of the club sincerely hope
these birds will not be killed by boys, or
other sportmen, so as 10 give them a
chance 10 multiply before theexpiration
Of the law which protects them, in 1904.
The local club of sportmen as well as
the public, is 10 be congratulated upon
the acquitition Of these rare birds 10 our
already large supply Of such desirable
game.

.POPE'S
NEPHEW
Who Has Been Fighting in

COMING TO THE
UNITED STATES
His Name Was Connected
With the Bond Robbery
of the Vatican.

NEw York, Jan PA dispatch t

says: "Count Camille Pecci, the
nephew Of the Pope. and whose brother
has recently been serving with tni
Beers against the English in South Az
ri q, is on his way to the United states
&C ,ompanied by his wife.
His witt is for the purpo7e Of invoking
the assistance Of President Mckinley
and Of the United States government in
obtaining compensation for the destruc
tion by Cuban insurgents Of his wiie,s
large sugar plantations and factories in
Cuba during the war with the United
States.
His unexpected departure from here
served TO revive rumors in in anti
clerical circles, which associate his
name with the recent mysterious rob
berry at the vatican. Only public trial
could set these rumors at rest but there
seems no inclination Of this being done
~ the papal authorities cannot prosecute
without acknowledging the Jurisdiction
1i the Italian courts within the precincts
'f the vatican, where the robbery was
committed.
Most Of the stolen bonds have been
ecoyered. They we're found ia the
possession Of eminently respectable
'inkers in Northern Italy who had no
