A very interesting story, though not
a novel one, comes up from Muscatlne.
1t runs to the effect that the richest
man of that town has found wire
through the medium of the telephone.
James l.. Giesier, banker. we'll
known in this city, reputed by some
TO be millionaire. and certainly aple
to keep a wife in comfort and fah'
degree of style, is the happy man.
The fair bride is Miss Ida Shafnit,
or was up TO the hour OF her mar
riage there Wednesday afternoon. She
is barely 49, but she was so dett IN
her handling of Mr.. Gieslers calls Tor
other numbers in the exchange that
she seemed to be the embodied spirit
of Old BUSINESS. and her vioce was so
winsome that il seemed to Mr.. Giles
Ter, after he had heard il a few times,
that he would rather use the tele-
phone than do anything else op earth
When other men asserted that the
telephone was blank nuisance, ana
that they wouldn't keep it a minute
if il were not for business reasons,
Mr.. Giesler found occasion to discuss
the situation with them. taking the
opposite side. Finally he became pos
sessed of the idea that he would like
to hear that voice nearer to him
than Central. and hence the wedding.
The bankers of this city are frank
and free with their congratulations
to the president of the German
American Savings bank of Musca-
tine. but they wonder what sort of an
operator he will get now that he has
removed from the exchange the one
who so pleased him. The telephone
operators here are ut liberty to of
fer congratulations to their lucky sis
ter of Muscatine. to take it out in
simply trying to do as well as she
has done. They have an open field
before them.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO.

The following "reminiscences were
given by S. w. McMaster, of this city
before the Old Settlers association al
the annual reunion yesterday after
noon:
''In the spring of 1885, said Mr.. Me-
Master. Il passed by what is now the
way to Galena, the lead city of the
hills ST. Louis at that time had a
population of about 5000. Clarks-
vile. Louisiana and Hannibal were
small villages in Missouri. Quincy,
on the bluff, had a population some
thing like l, 800. mostly of New Eng
land people. Burlington then had
just begun to attract attention and
had few settlers.
Rock Island had population con-
sisting of farmers scattered all along
between the river and the bluff. The
settlers were nearly all from New
England. John w. Spencer, the
Cases, Jonah and Charles, the nume--
Gus family of the Wells and w. F.
Brazier occupied the area with their
farms from Rock river to the present
site of the city of Moline. The pres
CHRISTIE of Davenport had only one
house. Fort Armstrong, on the point
of the island, with the white block
houses glittering in the sun. looked
like small village as it came in
sight from down the river.

DEBATES TO Be HELD
Effort to Be Made to Extend Edu-

Y. M. c. A.
CLUB HAS ALREADY BEEN FORMED
Ladies' Auxiliary to Be ReOrganized
for Winters Social
Features.

An effort is to be made to extend
the educational work of the local y.
M. c. A. that was taken up in small
way last year among the seniors.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of j. F. Witter. the young law
yer from Cambridge. who recently
located in the city. 4 debating club
has been organized and the date of
the meeting to complete the plan of
work and hold the first debate has
been set for Tuesday, Sept. 23. The
subject will be upon the merits of
the anthracite coal miners strike.
There will be series of interesting
talks for the young men by special
lists about the three cities, and n num-
Der of other things along this line are
being planned.
To Reorganize Society.
Secretary Freeman is sending out
invitations to the ladies of the dis
fefefif S;hiifehes in the city to become
members of an organization TO be
formed with the object of assisting
the Y. NJ c. A. In the past the
churches have had a standing conf
mittee of one from each, and they
had to bear the responsibility of at
tending to the work that their places
carried. MIR. Freeman feels that Il
larger organization will make the
work lighter, and will result in much
good. not only to the association.
but to the ladies themselves. He has
called a meeting next Tuesday after
noon at o'clock, when he will eN-
plain his plans.
Gym Boys Campaign.
The gymnasium boys held meet
ing Wednesday evening and part
of the work of the winter was
planned. There will be n number OF
competitive athletic events during
the winter, and it is proposed to place
number of basketball teams in the
field again. This is for the younger
members, and handball tournament
has been suggested for the members
of the business mems class. After
March / there will be put on Il series
of Is events divided into programs
occupying several evenings. These
will show who excel in the various
lines of gymnastics.

ed i'm the center of the CORR
dor is being made in accordance with
an order issued by the board of di-
rectors of the association. .7.H -.'t
v. NJ. c. A. Notes.
Secretary Freeman is anxious 10
have dispelled an impression that
seems to prevail to some extent that
the Y. NJ. C. \. is a strictly memler-
ship affair and that outside young
men are not wanted about the build
ing. This is not true. for while the
special privileges, such as the baths
and gymnasium, are reserved for
those who belong, the corridors and
reading rooms are open to all young
men and the more non-members who
avail themselves of the privileges the
more fully will the association be
fulfilling its mission.
Last evening n game of hand ball
was played between teams of the
Sioux and Shoshones. The latter
won. Is to 10.

Instant Relief from rheumatism and

Here is a case Mr.. T. Shepherd OF
Whitburn, Sunderland, Ohio, says:
"My wife suffered severely from rheu'
matism, and neuralgia. She could not
get one moments rest and was nearly
crazed with pain. Obtained instant re-
lief and a permanent cure by using
the contents of one bottle of st. ia
cobs Oil. There is no other remedy in
the world that will do this. The in
stantaneous effect which st. Jacobs OIL
produces is part of its half century
record" st. Jacobs Oil is sold in 20
cts. and so cts. sizes by all druggists.
The words Acts like Magic" Con
quers Pain" which have been used in
connection with st. Jacobs Oil for
more than so years are wonderfully
and truly descriptive.
