One Of the highest ana noblest
tendencies OF modern civilization +
evidenced BY its pleaAings Cor kind

Providence created for the pleasure,
the profit. and the protection OF man.

However, heobjecto Of the Humane
Society is the same in both cases. /.
g.. the prevention OF cruelty. no
matter what form 10 takes, or what
its origin. But she remedy is diff
ferent. In the one case, the Society
must rescue the animal and punish
the offender; In the other, q process
OF education must be systematically
followed.
Begin the campaign by organizing
societies wherever the soil prom
ises growth;-in schools, in the
churches, and In every city, town
and village. Get the young people
thoroughly interested. Raise funds
and apply them TO the dissemination
Of appropriate literature, to the pur-
chase OF food, shelter, and equip
ment. for the protection and ameli-
Grafton of the condition OF such ami

for. Petition the State and Nation
al Legislatures for the enactment of
saiutary laws 10 further the good
purpose.
In short, let IL be the aim Of the
Society to create strong public
sentiment against all forms OF NAL
treatment Of animals, and new era
will gradually dawn for the long
suffering, ill-requited work animal,
the faithful personal protector, the
dog, and all the various creatures
that minister 10 the amusement Of
mankind.

her like attention. With her lefI
hand she had one turned ON Blake.
Blake and / had both drawn on the
old man, and he. in turn, had o pis-
tol toward me.
For few seconds the silence
was absolute Then the girl said,
sharply: You BY the stove, drop
your gun and throw up your hands,
or III shoot the man BY the table. :
She had the einch on Blake, and
somers saw it. so he obeyed.
Now, man by the table follow
suit. or I'll shoot you.
Blake had 10 choice, so he did ID.
Well, the old man and l sioli<lIy
stuck II out. and Rosnietfe actually
had the nerve TO back toware she
door and make tlqse two men eollze
after her. She managed to catch
the latch with the back of her dress,
and the door swung open. Then
she marched them out and kept
them covered until they were fifty
yards from the cabin, toward the
Missouri shore. Then she slipped
on a pair OF skates, the quickest l
ever saw it done, and, approaching
our skates, which we had piled by
the door, shouted ''good-by" TO
her father, and started full speed
for the Illinois shore. This was
about three-fourths of mile distant
and heavily wooded. As soon as
she turned her back, Blake and
Somers, slipping. sliding and swear
ing, started after her. Without
pausing, she whistled shrilly, and
in less than a minute they saw
man in sleigh drive his horse to
the edge of the wood. BY this time
there were very few skaters, and
most OF them were over near the
Iowa shore, so il was impossible to
make them hear, against the heavy
west wind. So the two doughty
sheriffs were Obliged to stand power
less and see that girl climb into the
sleigh and drive away. She had
the nerve to wave to them, too.
Well, there was no use trying to
chase her, but their hearts warmed
once more with the thought that the
old man was still i'm reach, so they
came back as fast as they could. TO
relieve me.
"Of course Dolph realized that the
game was mp, ohe dropped his gun,
remarking: Well, young fellow,
you are a slayer. Say, but my arms
tired.
This is no time for fooling,'
growled Somers, picking up his re-
volver from the floor. Now, the
question is, where are your permits
for selling liquor in Missouri and
Illinois? And don't you know that
Iowa is prohibition?
Well, the fact is, gentlemen,
he drawled in a provoking fashion,
i haven I any license. +
Enough said, Iinterposed. In
that case there are three warrants
ready for you
Well he heoan Slowlv hut
Blake who had, altogether, not dis
tinguished himself, cut him of,
roughly. !I.~
oh, come along. There's no
time for nonsense.
To tell the truth he went on,
persistently, i never sold q drop of
liquor in this shanty. And that's
God S truth, boys, 50 help me. "

TO DR. AIN LAND
IN UPPER END
Zuma and Hampton Townships
Forming a District Nine
Miles Long.

Hon. William McEniry and Judge
f. j. Searle, of this city, are work
ing for the forming of a drainage
district in Zama and Hampton town
ships, which, if carried out, will re-
suit in the dredging of ditch nine
miles in length, 30 feet wide and five
feet deep, and the draining of about
1000 acres of bottom land on the
west bank of Rock river that is now
farmed with difficulty or not at all
on account of the excessive moisture.
The undertaking is meeting with
much encouragement, the experience
IN the Meredosia serving to encour-
age the farmers of the upper end of
the county to look with favor upon
an enterprise of this sort. The cost
of the ditch is estimated at $4,000
and the work will be done with a
dredge boat, which will work from
the upper end down, depending upon
the water in the ditch to keep it
afioat.

This City on the Same Plane With New

There are few persons i'm this com.
munity who Will not, be glad to know
that the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers enormous shows are coming
here with all the great features with
which they startled New York and
other eastern cities at the beginning
of this season. 1t has been the Gus
tom of so many shows to exhibit in
some large city and then travel on
the reputation made in such city by
giving a programme far in advance
of the one they exhibit while travel
ing through the country. Whatever
else may be said about the Fore
paugh-Sells shows there is a certaint V
that when they say anything the ut
most reliance may be placed upon
their statement. They pledge them
selves to repeat the same perform
ance here. complete in every detail
with all the great and champion per-
formers and new and exclusive fea-
lures. which they gave in the metro
polls. If this programme does not
satisfy everybody who sees it they
must be harder to please than are
those who live in the metropolis
where only the biggest and best of
everything is permitted. 1t is for
that reason that these are the only
circuses, menageries and hippo
dromes that are permitted to exhibit
in New York, Philadelphia, Brook
lyn and other eastern cities. They
will exhibit next Saturday.

For Home and Honor" the new
melodrama success, which will receive
its initial local presentation at the
Illinois theatre tonight, comes high
ly spoken of by the press throughout
the east where the play achieved a
most emphatic success. Relative to
the drama the Philadelphia Record
says: ~ new melo-drama had the
first presentation at the Standard
last evening. Ii is English in origin
and entitled For Home and Honor.
The author is Lem B. Parker. The
story is one of woman's wrongs,
and the supreme moment of the play
is reached in the tragic incident
which shows the startling but alto
gether justifiable avcnging of those
wrongs. The play was particularly
well staged, and the large audience
enjoyed the development of the plot,
which was eXcellently well presented
by the capable members of the com
pany."

time in the history of the American
stage there is an view in the metro

as an institution. But while the IL

spectacular features of the London
production of the piece. it differs
very materially in all its other as

original book of '''The Sleeping Beau

American theatre patron. The result

The Rules.


The contest is not only to see which
side can bring the most scalps into
the central wigwam, but the individ-
ual records will be kept track of, as
well. y renewal of membership in
the association counts the same as a
new member. except with the juniors,
two new juniors counting the same
as one member in the senior con-
test. No one will receive credit for
his own scalp. The rules governing
the warfare are not strict and it is
likely that individual work will
count for more than that of organ
lied bands. Each warrior bringing
in scalp will be given tickets for
himself and squaw to a first class
pow-wow. The warriors who get
three scalps will be relieved of the
duty of giving corn to the chief for
~ moons and the brave who brings
in the most scalps on each side will
be relieved of the same obligation
for pa moons.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE
In Store For Those Who Doubt.

When you read that sufferer Of
many years standing has been COM
pletely restored to health by using
Smiths Cure-all, you are inclined to
doubt the statement and, In fact, have
no belief in 1t whatever. The reason
for this is that so much is claimed
for the Cure-all it Is impossible for
anyone to believe 1t; II the advertiser
confined his claims to the curing Of
one disease, as do the proprietors Of
Pyramid Pile Cure, readers would
have much more faith in published
testimonials. Those familiar with this
great remedy know that testimonials
as to its merit may be relied upon
implicitly, also that the cures brought
about by its use are little short of
marvellous. The genuineness of the
testimonial here given is vouched for
and is but one of thousands received.
II had n friend who had used one
box Of 80 cent Pyramid Pile Cure that
entirely cured her. I saw the good
effect on her, and thought would try
it, as had got SO ! could, not sit
down without extreme pain and get
ting up was just as bad; the first
box nearly cured me; got the second
box and have had no trouble since.
Pyramid Pile Cure does all that 1t
claims to do, and never miss an op-
portunity to tell its merits. I speak
from observation, and personal bene-
at. Two boxes cured me over a year
ago, and no return of the trouble
since" Mrs. NJ. Mooney, 5000 Sanga-
mon st., Chicago, Ill.
