succeeded in weaving a story so re-

August Jahns died at his home in
South Moline at midnight Wednesday
at the age of 81 years and days,
from the infirmities of age, and
after only brief illness. Mr.. Jahns
was native of Hanover. Germany.
in which city he learned the cabinet
maker trade. There also he married
Charlotte Bremen, and they came to
America together in 1916, when Mr.
Jahns was - years of age. They set
tied for n time in New York state.
but moved TO Cincinnati in 1S4S. Three
years later, in 1851, they came to
Rock Island county. and took up their
residence at what is at present known
as the Jahns homestead in the year
1861. For a number of the years of
his activity in the business life of this
community Mr.. Jahns followed the
business of contractor and builder.
But for many years past Mr.. ,Jahns
has been living retired rural life,
enjoying quietly the fruits of his
years of activity. His helpmeet pre-
ceeded him to the grave thirteen
years ago. There survive him six
children-one daughter and five sons:
Amelia, Herman and Louis y. of this
city; Fred, of Rock Island; Rudolph.
of Milwaukee; and Ferdinand. of
South Dakota. Owing to the uncer-
tainty as TO the arrival of some of
the distant ones. it has been decided
that private funeral will be held
when all the children have come. The
remains will be inferred in the family
lot at Riverside cemetery.

Detectives Phelen and Mullane. and
Officer Quinn, with Chief Martens di-
recting, are working in an effort to
locate the thief who broke one of the
outside display cases at the I. Rich
ter q Sons store, 221 West Second
street, sometime Wednesday evening
and extracted therefrom valuable furs
to the value of possibly $500. There
is additional interest in the job from
the fact that it is the seventh annual
robbery of some sort or other that
this firm has sustained. For seven
years in direct succession. the store
has been broken into and valuable
goods have been taken. The aggre
gate of the loss is large figure.
there seems to he no practical way
of preventing these jobs, unless the
store is placed under guard. and even
that might not work. The annual
toll levied upon the firm in this man
ner has averaged a neat figure.

that in spite of the fact that there
are many misleading and fake
advertisements published today by
"so-called" doctors-the people of
Rock Island and vicinity are taking us

they feel the need of help.
