Runs seemed Cheap.

After the games Of Thursday and
yesterday morning runs began TO
look cheap 10 everybody and il Is
doubtful if the visitors themselves
rated the value of that one insight
ficant little score in the third at it's
true value till the contest was nearly
over. Every inning, however. il grew
in magnitude in inverse ratio to the
number of innings that were left to
play and when the last man was out
in the ninth it filled the entire hori-
ION. Such is the law of supply and
demand.
1t was a battle of tho pitchers and
Milton had the disadvantage of Il
combination of adverse circum-
stances in the third inning. which
lasted only long enough for Mill to
cross the plate. Then. with men on
second and third and one out, mat
ters went back into the even tenor of
the contest and the side went out
without another score.

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you
have a rumbIing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free.

the only real error and Milton was
charged with another that should in
simple justice have been passed over.
Another record for attendance
went to smithereens Train load
after train load of humanity filed into
the grounds. The tail bleachers just
completed and the low bleachers that
had just had an addition placed at
the end, were filed. the grandstand
was packed to. suffocation and still
they came from Rock Island. Daven-
port, Moline and the surrounding
country. When the game began
there were people everywhere.
The Way 1t Happened.
In the last half of the third, when
Davenport made the score of the
game, Stauffers lived on short
grounder that went to the left of
Milton. The latter tried to get il
and messed ii so that O'Rourke could
not field it and Stauffers lived. Mil
forced Stauffers at second but him
self stole while Martin was getting
a base on balls. Then it was that

run, getting second for his trouble

Twice afterward the visitors had
men on third but there they bit the
dust. Rock Island, too, had some
prospects on several occasions. Con-
well made a nice 3-Sacker but died
through Smiths failure to make good
with the willow. In the eighth
O'Rourke had an opportunity to tie
the score. Smith hit it, Hopkins sacri-

after such games as the public
had witnessed Thursday afternoon
and yesterday morning there were
many to swear that Rock Island and
Davenport could not under any cir
cumstances play consistent ball to-
gether. and there were those who
were propounding finespun theories
why this was so.
Some said it was on account of the
temper of the crowds and some main
tanned that il lay in the players.
If the afternoon game had been
similar 10 the two preceding il there
is No telling to what lengths the two
factions engendCred by the above
argument might have gone last even
ing. But the nature of the contest
avertcd any trouble that might have
arisen by exploding at once the lyd-
dite that both the opposing sides were
storing up for the fray. For al of
which Jet us I've thankful.

SAY 1T is BIG FOUR
That is Back of the Proposed Hi
nois & Mississippi
Road.
NORTHWESTERN EXTENSION SOUGHT
Muscatine the Objective Point on
the River Other News
of the Rail.

y well authenticated rumor has il
that the Illinois and Mississippi Rail-
way company. which has been incor-
porated to build aS line from Peoria
to point on the Mississippi river in
Rock Island county, as told in
| Thursdays Argus. is nothing less
than proposed extension of the Big
Four. 1t is further averred that Mus
catine, and not the tri-cities, is the
objective point on the Mississippi.
1t seems that the Big Four has for
some time been figuring with a view of
reaching further into the northwest
and early in the spring party of
officials of that road went to Mus
catine by rail and drove i'm hacks
from that place first to Aledo and
thence to Galesburg, which is under
stood to be the route favored for the
extension. Of course il is not to be
supposed that the line will end at
Muscatine. for If il is built that far
ii will undoubtedly be continued on
to intersect some of the lateral lines
in Iowa in order TO make bid for
eastern business that now passes
through Chicago.

The difference of cost between good

cause doctors bills many times this.

INVENTED 1T HERE
Leffler Evolved His Electric Street
Car in Minneapolis.

Car in minneapolis.
Dispatches from Chicago indicate that great
interest has been aroused by tests Of P. w:
LETTERS electric street car system. The car
Is propelled by a series of electro magnets
between the rails and no overhead nor under
ground trolley is needed; neither Is it neces-
sary to have q live current on any exposed
conductor as in all the present systems. While
the Letter system is heralded from Chicago
as new invention, the system was really de-
veloped and practically perfected in Mime
apolis ten year ago. Mr.. Leffler was prac-
tical nachinist and electrician and had offices
in the Lumber Exchange. His model at that
time was a truck about eighteen inches long,
running on rails about Ave inches apart.
The principle employed provided for strong
electro magnets, which, in full sized system,
would be placed from four to five feet apart
between the rails. These were to be excited
by an induced current controlled by magnets
on the car and the arrangement was such
that the track magnets were excited Just
ahead of the car, pulling it forward, or just
to the rear, when It was wished to reverse.
It was recognized at the time Mr. Lefle,
was in Minneapolis. that he had hit upon a
new and valuable principle of street car pro.
pulsion, but the. great drawback at thai
time was the great cost Of installation, due
! to the immense amount OF copper needed FOL
the buried magnets. The panic came on ant
Mr. LETTER dropped out of sight for the time
being. Now copper is cheaper, heavy In
vestment does not stagger capitalists II oper'
ating expenses are thereby reduced and the
invention appears to be assured OF backing

HAYNES BREAKS SILENCE
Says He Must Yield to Sentiment In
His Favor. =. ~

James c. Haynes, for some months in
cluded in the list Of probable candidates
for the democratic nomination for mayor,
broke his impressive silence last night by
stating that he had finally decided to
enter the race and that he would file his
nomination papers Immediately. He says
that he has become convinced that there
is considerable public sentiment in favor
Of his candidacy, and he deems it his duty
to heed it. Mr. Haynes served term in
the city council, ending with 1892. and is
the only democratic alderman ever elected
by his ward. He was the democratic
nominee for mayor in 1892 and was de-
feated by w. H. Eustis. He was candi-
date in the convention four years ago for
district Judge and again at the primaries
at the last election, and was defeated both
times. Mr.. Haynes is not generally re-
garded as strong partizan, and his
friends say that If nominated he stands a
better show of election than any other
candidate from the fact that he will be
sure to draw largely from the repub-
lican vote. > EE.< d. s...

CLASH OF BUTTONS GLASS BLOCK PLANS Y
Building Unique in Department
Store Architecture to Be Made.
ANNEX TO BE COMPLETED FIRST
Important Changes VIII Then De
u, Made In the Main
Building.

To make the Glass block unique among
commercial buildings and the pioneer IN
department store architecture is the pur-
pose of William Donaldson & Co. L. S.
Donaldson is now in the east consulting
with various architects. The management
is willing to receive suggestions from any
architect or builder Of the country Since
the Intentions in regard to the improve
ment of the Glass block were announced
many suggestions have been received,
several of which were incorporated in
the sketch of Kees & Colburn published
last week in h e J ourn a l.
In the past managers Of department
stores have devoted their energies to the
development of the department store idea.
Mr., Donaldson and his associates have
come to the conclusion that the time has
come for some attention to the develop
ment of a distinct department store arch1-
lecture. To the end that it may be the
originator OF dlgnlhed style OF com,
mercial building for this particular kind
of business the Donaldson company is
securing this and other countries for
ideas. 4. s. 49,. ~.E
The field is limited, yet there is room
for wide range Of suggestions. The
tower idea already reproduced In the
sketch is good, yet it has decided objec-
tions; the dome plan has Its advantages
and the suggestion for an art room taking
an entire floor meets with favor, but the
best of the ideas thus far do. not seem
good enough. g.. ..> ~ ~
Chance for Man of Ideas.
It is probable that many an architect
has in embryo some scheme of building
which he has been withholding from de-
yelopment until the time should come for
| it's exploitation. Such men are now being
| sought ~
1t is the purpose to make the Glass
| Block of a design SO creditable and so
| peculiar to the city that 1t shall at once
| be suggested to those who have visited
| the city by7 mention of Minneapolis.
| The survey for the new annex is being
made to-day. 1t will be necessary to
build the annex first to provide room for
| the stock that will be displaced when the
Sixth and Nicollet corner is torn out to
| make way for the tower foundation and
Fred Keys, the architect, has been dl-
rected to order the steel at once. -
Work to Begin Soon. .
| The light we'll in the main building Is
| to be floofed over to provide space tor
the departments at present in the annex.
This work will be done Immediately
after the first Of the year and by Feb.
removal of the stock will begin, followed
by the demolition of the old annex. The
new building is tolbe six stories high with
basement. THE rear wall will be in
a line with the south wall Of the Glass
| Block The engine-room, which was only
recently completed, will remain intact.
