Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack of collie
or cholera morbus, often before med
icine could be procured or physician
summoned. A reliable remedy for
these diseases should be kept at hand.
The risk is too great for anyone to
take. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy has undoubt-
eddy saved the lives of more people
and relieved more pain and suffering
than any other medicine in use. 1t
can always be depended upon. For
sale by all druggists.

Games Tomorrow,

Rock Island pounded out II singles
and a victory of 4 to 1 against Deca-
tur yesterday, in a game to satisfy
the most exacting, as clean fielding
and good pitching relieved it from all
monot0ny. Graham handled every
thing that came in his direction and
once or twice the thin audience was
aroused to great enthusiasm as he
picked up a seemingly impossible one
out of the mud. O'Leary, from the
backstop position, also came in for
share of the plaudits. as his oppor
tune work saved the team at one or
two critical moments. In fact, the
whole team played snappy ball. and
Case, who pitched an excellent game,
was given a support of the gilt-edged
variety

Two More Runs.

In the fifth Graham and Gray sing
led. Rebsamen's sacrifice put them
on second and third. O'Leary knock
ed high one to center and after the
catch Graham scampered home be-
fore the ball could be felded in. Doll
went to first on an error by the first
baseman, which allowed Gray to
score. The balance of the game was
a succession of goose-egg innings,
both sides playing splendid fielding
game. DonneIly pulled down two sky

DonDelly Scores.

In the third inning Donnelly went
to first on scratch hit. Graham
sacrificed. Gray did likewise, but
Rebsamen knocked a hot one that
made mud fly along the left chalk
line and Donnelly came in from third
for the second score. In the fourth
Hankey, of Decatur, went to base on
balls. Mcfarland knocked one to
Green that was a little too speedy to
be stopped clean and the runner was
advanced by II. Walters sacrifice
which followed. II. Walters did all
that was necessary with clean hit,
which gave Hankey the opportunity
to make the lone score for the visi-
tors.

Discua.ions General

About these three sub-topics a great
deal was said both in the direct pre-
sentation and in the discussion, which
was general, and the session was a
very profitable one. Rev. w. H.
Blancke, of Davenport, presided as
president of the union, and the at
tendance was large, including num-
Der of the wives of the members.
At 5 o'clock the ladies of the Broad
way church served lunch and social
hour was enjoyed in the early even
ing. The members of the union are
determined to- revive the former in
terest in the meetings and with yes
terday's gathering right beginning
appears to have been made.
The next meeting will be held at
Prospect park in the latter part of
June, when a feast of good things in
the way of addresses on topics of live
interest is promised.
