New Titles for n. p. Greenough
and r. n. Hudson of
Peoria Road.
THEIR TERRITORY Is ENLARGED
Reported Positions Are Those OF
Assistant superintendent and
Auditor of Rock Island.

Late this afternoon it was officially
announced that II. p. Greenough had
be en- made assistant superintendent
of the Illinois division of the Rock
Island, and this division has been en-
Ilarged TO include the old Peoria
road. C.. l.. Nichols will still be SUI
perintendent. Mr.. Greenough's ter
ritory will include a portion of the
west end of the old Illinois division.
This change went into effect today.
4 party of Rock Island railroad Of
ficials arrived in the city this morn
ing on a special train for the pur-
rose of making a general inspection
of the property of the company in
this vicinity and arranging details of
the changes that the merging of the
Rock Island & Peoria and Burlington.
Cedar Rapids & Northern with the
Rock Island will necessitate.
The party consisted of {. \. Good
now. general manager; W. NJ. Hobbs.
superintendent of lines east of the
Missouri river; w. III. Stillwell, SUI
perntendent of the Iowa division;
w. j. Lawrence, superintendent of
the Southwest division: C. l.. Mich
OILS, superintendent of the Illinois
division; \. X. Swift. superintendent
of telegraph; G. F. Drew, car service
agent. and number of other minor
officials.
The early morning was spent on
| this side of the river. The local Pc
oria yards were gone over and the
property examined and a half hours
session held i'm the Office of ii. p.
Greenough. Then the train left for
Davenport. and after a short stop
there went to Muscatine, the inten-
ton of the party to return to- this
city late this afternoon being an
nounced.
Changes Decided Upon.
While it is believed that important
changes have been practically decid-
ed upon, the officials this morning
were exceedingly careful not to give
out any statements bearing upon the
main question. Rumor is rife. but
confirmation is lacking.
For instance. il is confidently as
serted by some that Mr.. Greenough,
vice president of the Peoria, has been
appointed assistant superintendent
with an enlarged territory. and that
Il. ii. Hudson, secretary and auditor,
has been appointed assistant auditor
of the Rock Island road. with head
quarters at Chicago.
1t is also stated that G. VI. Stone
tbraker. yardmaster of the Rock ISL
and, has already been placed in
charge of the local Peoria yards, but
this, like the other statements, could
not be confirmed today.

a pitch Lake

Trinidad. an island in the south At
Iantic opposite the mouth of the ORR
noco, is famous for its pitch. There
are districts where there IS pitch ev-
erywhere. The beach is pitch, and so
are the rocks" some of which have
been carried off to supply Paris and
New York with tar pavements. At La
Brea pineapples grow TO perfection in
brown soil which is half pitch. But
the wonder of the isle is the pitch lake
n mile and Il half in circumference.
AS it lies Slittering in the sun it looks
like a vast bed of mOnstrous mush-
rooms, all black and of all kinds of
shape and size, some measuring as
much as fifty feet across. The space
between these unlOvely objects is filed
with oily water. In parts of the lake
the pitch is quite liquid. and the ground
all round is full of pitch and coaly
stuff to a depth of hundreds of feet.

COLLECTION OF RUMMAGE
FOR UNION MISSION SALE

The collection of rummage for the
sale that is to be conducted at the
rink under the auspices of the Union
Mission next week began today. In
spite of the fact that sales have been
held IN two years the canvassers are
finding more rummage than ever and
the sale of this year promises to
eclipse that of former years both in
the quantity of things there will be
to dispose of and in the variety that
will be offered. The canvass at the
business houses was begun yesterday
and everywhere spirit of liberality
was manifested. AS an indication of
this it may be stated that three III
amos and one organ have been do
mated so far. one piano and the organ
coming from the Totten Music house.
Mrs. Joseph Worker has agreed to
act as cashier during the sale and
after Monday she will have charge
of the collection of the rummage.
The committee desires to call es-
pecial attention to certain classes of
articles most desired, as shown by
the experience in past sales. Among
these are dress skirts. of which the
supply has always been quickly cX-
hausted; clothing for men and boys.
especially overcOats; crockery ana
dishes, even if nicked. and books and
magazines.

KINGS EVIL
How Ignorance and Super
stition go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen
In England a couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence a little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be utouched for the
evil" The specific uevil" was scrofula,
and it was the popular belief that scrof-
ula could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofu1a is
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in kingly touch, no ex-
ternal treatment could cure scrofula.

Invitations are out announcing the
coming nuptials of Henry +. Balluff,
ex-city clerk, and Miss Celestine Car
lin, daughter of w. p. Carlin, which
will be solemnized at the Sacred
Heart cathedral, Tuesday morning,
Nov. IL, at O'Clock.
The bans were published for the
first time at the Sacred Heart cathe-
dral and ST. Mary's churches stimuli
taneously last Sunday, of the marri-
age of William Turner and Miss Lydia
Harrison, two prominent young peo-
pie of this city. The nuptials will be
celebrated during this month at the
Sacred Heart cathedral.
The autopsy on the body of the
unknown stranger, who was found
floating, six miles below the city,
Monday afternoon, was held by Coro-
ner Lambach at the Runge & Peter
sen morgue at 3 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon. The lungs of the body were
first examined, to determine whether
or not the man had come to his death
by drowning, or by violence. Some wa
ter was found in the lungs, and but
little foam, the presence of which
would indicate the presence of air.
One of the lungs was placed in a
bucket of water and instead of float
ing it sank to the bottom. indicating
that death was due to drowning, or
at least that the man was not dead
when he got into the water. The
scalp was laid back over the wound
in the right forehead, and the skull
carefully examined for a fracture,
but none was found. The coroner
reiterated his statement. published in
Tuesdays papers, that the deceased
had not come to his death by reason
of the wound in the forehead.
Doubtless the man was the victim of
foul play. His blackened and bruised
eyes and nose. and the cash in his
forehead would indicate this fact.
Possibly while unconscious he was
thrown. or fell into the river where he
drowned. The coroner also removed
the cuticle of the mans right fore
arm, upon which were tatooed the
letters ''E. e." the sole identifying
marks in the case. The skin wah
tackled on board. treated with for
maldehyde, and will he dried and
preserved. The body was buried in
ternoon. Meanwhile the police are
looking for clues which may estab-
lish the identity of the victim.

must deal with the blood. 1t must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pirnples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofula is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
81 am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice, writes DR..
Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co, Kansas. uTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was fatal case. 1 felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so / went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is well to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
Try judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. 1t IS radI-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root of the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease fo- while and give the skin

THE ScoURGE OF
CIVILIZATION.
From half civilized or
unsanitary countries come
the plaques which deci-
mate the teerning popula-

tary science and medical
skill have banished the
plaques from among our
selves, but civilization has
its own scourge in that
form of scrofula which
attacks the lungs and is
popularity known as con-
sumption.
Plaques are not per-
sistent. They appear and
disappear again for years.
Scrofula of the lungs or
consumption is a persistent
disease. Every day of
every year it gathers in its
victims; one-sixth of all
deaths from disease being
attributed to consumption.
