Your money is now deposited in the banks drawing 3%. The banks, in
order to be safe, have loaned the money to uson u land at 6%, taking a
mortgage. Under this arrangement, you are getting 3% and the banks are
getting 3%. This mortgage we wish to transfer to you in the shape of our
preferred stock, 81 that you will get the whole 6%, holding the sam security
as the banks hold. In addition, w wish to xpend $780, 100000 atoncei in
laying out the land in the finest private residence place in ST. Louis doubling
the vaueo of yoursecurhy We offer youths mortgage at avaluation of $1,000
per foot, after all improvements r. made, and in addition, offer you a
25% share in the profits of the DEAL You will probably get your money back
the first year. After that you will get your monthly dividends until the
last lot is sold. These lots have been laid out to bring a average of $4,000
a foot.
They may all be sold in the first year. If it takes twenty years the
profit in which you share is the same, $2OOOO0OOO. For our investment
and expense w hold the common stock, which does lot receive one cent I'M
til you get all your money back We want to spread the preferred stock
among 10000 small Investors, ctizensof St. Louis, for reasons that will de-
veop to your benefit We have already been offered several investments of
from $4,000 to $4,000 each, but we want your 5000, $4,000 ar
100000 in order to carry out of the greatest land enterprises ever
undertaken in the West.
Ten thousand St. Lousans interested lin u land would mea a ad-
vertising power greater than all the newspaper space w could buy. We
have arrangedW With n of the largest banks I'M the West to guarantee to our
stockholders that their money shall be used only for the improvement of the
land and the remOval of the remaining incumbranCe. We cannot gof one
cent oft. This is good faith. Our land is 1000 feet Delmar Boulevard,
50 city blocks, directly west of Deln1ar Garden which is also % be made into
a high-class residence place.
Suppose; instead of some Jim-Crack Xmas git you give your chndrena
few shares Oft this preferred stock. The common stock bonus of 49, will pay
for their schooling, and you will get your money back to boot with 6% inter-
est. There is going to be "something doing" in the West End of St. Louis
shortly Don't put it off too long. Call and sex us, or send for u boob.
Let US get together.

DOINGS OF A DAY
LOCAL POLICE COURT

On complaint of Paul Van Neste,
Henry, Paul, Cyril and Emil Hancke
and Theophile Van Hagebrook were
brought before Magistrate johnson
last evening on the charge of assault
and battery, the complainant alleg-
ing that the five gave him u beating
Sunday. The trial brought out
enough of the fellow countrymen of
the parties to the case to fill the po-
lice station and the trial was an in
teresting one. Each side was com
PEELED to have an interpreter. owing
to the fact that most of the witnesses
could not speak English. The evil
dence made it appear that Henry
Hancke and Hagebrook were the most
active among the offending parties
and each was fined SO.
Mrs. Kate Cone. who rents from NJ.
j. Murphy. was released when placed
on trial for assault and battery, the
charge being preferred by her land
lord. Mr.. Murphy declared she had
thrown him out when he called to
collect the rent, but the defendant
asserted that she had paid part of
the amount due and promised to pay
the balance ana denied using yio-
lence.
w. S. Mckee reported the loss of an
Imperial bicycle that had been left
by him on Eighteenth street.
Henry Deiscnroth was fined So and
costs by Magistrate johnson last ev-
ening for assault, the complainant
being Frank Rosberg. the two are
employed at the lower saw mill and
the trouble arose over throwing saw
dust and sticks at each other, begin
ming in fun and winding up in earn
est.
Thomas Doyle was fined IS for dis
orderly conduct, and paid. George
Lambert was fined $50 on the same
charge, and went TO the county Jail
to do time.

HENRY COUNTY is
PUSHING BRIDGE PROJECT

Henry county farmers were out in
large numbers last night at the mass
meeting held at Cleveland for the
purpose of giving impetus to the
movement for the erection partly by
public subscription of bridge across
Rock river at or near that town that
will bring that section into closer
connection with the cities in this vi
entity.
Rev. 5. ii. Weed was chairman and
b. l.. Shucy secretary of the meeting.
w. Ii. Schillinger. of this city, who
has been doing his part as a citizen
to help along the project, was pres
ent, and gave what encouragement
he had to offer from this end of the
line. All in attendance were enthusi-
astic over the prospect of having a
bridge. the need of which has been
set forth in The Argus in previous ar
ticles on the subject.
The result of the meeting was the
appointment of committee compos-
ed of II. {. Haines, j. S. Ellingsworth,
Henry Clark, F. II. Snodgrass and
Mana Hcarn, which is instructed to
canvass the situation and ascertain
what the people of Henry county are
willing to contribute toward the en-
terprisc. Another meeting is to be
held at the Hanna Center school
house next Tuesday evening.

MER GER COUNTY
HAS TEST CASE
It. j. Medin Defendant in a Board
of Review PrOsecu-
ton.

Through the refusal on the part of
T. j. MedilI, of this city, to testify
before the board of review of Mercer
county in regard to the amount of
stock held by William Wilmerton, of
Presumption, in the Black Hawk Build
ing d Loan association, of which Mr..
Medill is secretary, test case of the
right of boards of review to demand
the testimony of secretaries of in
vestment companies, cashiers of
banks, ETC., to determine the amount
of property owned by tax payers will
be made.
Mr.. Medill was summoned to APP
pear before the board of review of
Mercer county Saturday with the
books of the association. He went,
but did not take the books, on the
ground that they were too volumin-
Gus to take away from the office on
such a mission. He was thereupon
summoned to appear Monday with a
certified copy of all the accounts in
which Mr. Wilmerton's name appears.
Believing that the board was over
stepping its legal jurisdiction, Mr..
Medill again appeared without the
written evidence demanded, and in
the absence of accounts refused to
testify to facts and figures. Infor-
nation was then filed against him in
the county court, and he was placed
under bonds to appear before the Oc-
tober term of the same tribunal,
when the case will be put to the test.

SCALPS TO Be SOUGHT
Two Bands of Bad "Injuns" to
Operate in Rock
Island.
ALL THE OLD SCOUTS HERE
Unique Membership Contest to BE
Inaugurated by
Y. NJ. G. A.

Secretary j. 5. Freeman and his as
sistants at the y. NJ. c. y. are busily
engaged upon plan for a member
ship contest which they hope to put
into effect by Sept. l. \ great
amount of work remains to be done,
but it is believed all the preliminar-
les will be arranged by that time.
The plan is original and unique and
is one that promises to be highly
popular among the young men who
are most active in the association
work.
1t is, in brief, to divide the members
of the association into tribes of I'm
dians," who will engage in imaginary
warfare for given time and the one
that brings in the greatest number
of "scalps" will be declared the vic
tor and will reap the reward in the
form of a banquet or in other man
ner yet to be decided upon.
Sioux and shoshones.
One tribe is to be the Sioux and the
other the Shoshones, these being the
two general tribes under which all
the at her bands in the west classify.
Each Will have its chief and sub
chiefs. Ralph Souders is to be sit
] ting Bull the head of the Sioux, and
| he is to be assisted by such redoubta-
bic sub-chiefs as Rain-in-the-F Face,
Crazy Horse, and others. Fay Skin
ner and J. Z. Penny are to be among
his assistants, while Henry Shiffer
and F. \. Graves will be sub-chiefs
among the Shoshones. Not all the
appointments among the officers have
been made. The customs and habits
of the real Indian are to be studied
and carried out wherever possible in
the management of the contest.
All to lie Indians
Every one of the 400 members of the
association will become an Indian"
on one side or the other and the war
fare will no doubt be sanguinary.
Each member will be provided with
a button to Indicate what kind of an
Indian he is. Scalps will not be linn
| tied to new members, as in past con-
tests, but old scalps will be accepted
on the same basis as the new ones.
The result of the tribal strife will be
kept marked up on "a graduated scale
to be exhibited in front of the assoc
citation building. and couple of
painted Indians will set off the appar-
atus that will be used. As soon as
the sides are chosen the members of
the two tribes will be sent arrows
and be informed of the color of war
paint to don.
The contest of the juniors will be
gin Sept. , and will be on somewhat
the same lines as the contest of the
seniors.
