A number of Rock Island shoe and
clothing merchants have been figur-
ing up last Saturdays receipts and
comparing them with those of single
days during past years. Without eX-
ception they find that they did more
business than during any other day
for several seasons. This indicates
that there are many who have new
spring clothing to bring out when the
weather gives them the opportunity.
\ very pleasant birthday party was
given Saturday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Wood, 1923 Fourth street, in
honor of Miss Nellie Wood. The af-

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
of ChamberIaIn's Cough Remedy.


"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second One) L actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. l at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night / would take a dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and L
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. 1 had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because l had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and / had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

Fell Into Stream.

Guthrie. 0. T. May S-Jonson F. Del

about noon taking with him a fishing pole
and lire and sI lated developments iEdi-
cate that he fell into the water very
shortly after arriving at the bank.
As he did not return during the after
noon il was supposed that he had gone to
town for his mail and no alarm was felt
until supper time when a thorough search
was instituted. which soon led to the con-
ciusion that he had been drowned.
His fishing material lay unused on the
bank and his walking cane hung on a
limb in the edge of the water. showing
that he had been feeling his way with it
while hunting for a good spot in which
to fish, W hen his feet evidently slipped
from under him, letting him fall into the
water and the print of his elbow is plain
ly visible in the muddy bank, showed
how he tried to save himself, but his
efforts proving Yane, he soon met his
death in the watery depths below.
a party from town went out to search
for the body which was found at about
O'Clock this morning a half mile farther
down the river. The remains were brought
at once TO Clouds undertaking rooms
where preparations for burial were imme-
diateiy made.

WILL ENTERTAIN.
Oklahoma City Making Arrangements
to Give Visitors Good Time.

Oklahoma City. May S.-A number of
representative citizens met with Mayor
Van Wrinkle at his Office yesterday after
neon for the purpose Of making arrange
ments for the entertainment of Secretary
CT the Interior Hitchcock and his party
when they reach Oklahoma City, says the
Cklahoman.
1T was decided to extend a cordial in
vitston to the mayors of the several
titles of Oklahoma to meet Secretary
Hitchcock here for the purpose of per-
sonally inviting him to VISIT their respect
I've cities. Accordingly President Hcyman
af the Chamber of Commerce, had the
invitations prepared and sent yesterday
afternoon.
Owing to the lack of definite informa-
ton as to the length of time of the sec
retary and his party will spend here, and
the time of their arrival, plans for def
mite arrangements were held in abeyance
until this information can be had. Mayor
Van Wrinkle sent another message to the
secretary yesterday afternoon asking
light in the matter. He will probably
have a reply to this message this morn
ing. In that event he and President Hey
man viii Immediately take up prepara-
tions for entertaining the distinguished
visitors and will wire the mayors of the
several cities invited the exact hour OF
the secretary's arrival and length of his
party's stay.
If the length of the secretary's visit
will admit of it. It is probable dinner
will be given by the business men of the
city in his honor. The matter is purely
problematical yet. however, and no def
mite plans can be made until further in
formation is received regarding the
length of the visitors stay.
