Simon Lewis, proprietor of whole

of the building occupied by Lewis es-
Establishment, are made defendants in
a suit for $4,000 damages begun in
the circuit court today by ii. NJ. Nc
Caskrin, attorney for Fannie Garrity,
of Black Hawk, whose husband, Peter
Clarity, was thrown from his wagon
Jan last in this city, alighting on
the pavement, and killed. Mrs. Gar
rity alleges that he husband was in
toxicated with liquor bought at Mr..
Lewis store. and because of his intoN-
.icated condition lost control of his
horses, his death resulting as above
stated. The statutes plainly state
that the owner of Il building is equally
liable with the occupant in such an
instance, and therefore Mr.. Hitler is
made a defendant with Mr.. Lewis.

STORM DAMAGE ABOUT
CITY WAS CONSIDERABLY

The damage done by the storm yes
terday afternoon was more extensive
than was at first supposed. In addi-
ton to flooding a number of base
ments and cellars in the business dis
trict and leaving the streets covered
with mud and debris. there were a
number of serious washouts on vari-
Gus thoroughfares. All the streets
leading 40 the bluff district were more
or less damaged and Forty-fourth
street was probably the most affect
ed. GuIleys were washed in the crush
ed stone roadway which will be diff
cult to fill. Fully an inch and a half
of rain fell in half an hour.
y box car on the Rock Island tracks
at East Moline was struck by light
ming during the storm yesterday af
ternoon and three Greek section men
who were near it were stunned by the
shock. All three recovered in few
moments and neither is seriously hurt

An unusual novelty is the finale of
the third act of the new and thrilling
realistic melodrama. "a Ruined Life, >
which is the attraction at the Illinois
theatre Thursday. The action takes
place in a magnificent drawing room
within the walls of palatial mansion
on Fifth avenue, New York City. Can
delabra and heavy electrical chande-
liers are the important and brilliant
features. and at critical moment to
the heroine and her plans just as she
is about to be placed under arrest, by
a deft movement she turns the draw
ing room from Il scene of brilliance
into total darkness and escapes. As
it is the climax of the act, the curtain
falls on a totally dark stage; very
unique and novel effect. This new play
"A Ruined Life" has met with great
degree of success during the present
season. The play is splendidly mount
ed with four complete sets of effective
scenery. The east is extremely cap
able and an exceedingly pretentious
one for Il popular price production.
Lincoln J. Carriers always popular
be seen at the Illinois next Sunday.
The company is said to be excellent
and above the average. and the scenic
effects remarkably realistic, notably
the explosion and wreck of the steam
boat in midriver. \ fun sized freight
train stopping in front of the depot,
the flight of the fast mail and Il pict-
uresque scene of Niagara Falls by
moonlight. are among the notable
scenes. There is much to interest in
this time honored play, and though
this is its 14th consecutive success
full season ON the road the attraction
still maintains its old-time popularity
and approval by the thousands of
playgoers who have witnessed it since
it first made its debut before the foot
lights. The plot is strong in its treat
ment. bringing out plenty of heart in
terest. pathos, dramatic action and
keen bursts OF wit and humor.

HONOR FOR THE MULE.

VIII Have Prominent Place In st.
Louis Fair Live Stock Exhibit.
The Missouri mule. the mule that has
helped to make Missouri famous, will
be honored at the Louisiana Purchase
exposition, says st. Louis dispatch.
The long suffering, silent, plodding,
inofrensive and slandered beast is to
be given place in the live stock dis
play at the worlds fair. His prowress
on the battlefield, as shown in the
Boer war, in the peaceful Missouri
valley, on the plains of the west, in
the marshes of the south, is to receive
recognition.
n. W. Gentry of the state commits
sion consulted with F. d. Coburn,
chief of the live stock department of
the fair. Mr.. Coburn agreed with Mr..
Gentry that the mule had earned n
place and it was decided that from
the $25O,0OO set. apart for live stock
liberal cash prizes and many of them
should be given to be competed for by
representative mules.
mo need to make a special effort to
get fine horses shown at the worlds
fair" said Mr.. Gentry, nor to get fine
cattle, sheep or swine. Just announce
the premium list and they will swarm
in.
Here Is where the mule is handi-
capped. He is a hybrid. He cannot
reproduce himself, and no matter how
fine the mule he cannot perpetuate the
breed. Each individual mule stands on
his own merits.
"At the Chicago exposition there
were only four mules shown. At the
1904 exposition mules will be number
ed by the hundreds. Colonel J. w.
Jones of Columbia, Mo-, secretary of
the American Breeders Association of
Jacks and Jennets, will work with the
live stock department, and the finest
collection of mules the world has ever
seen will be the result
1.-The mule helped to build the beau
tiful exposition and it is only right
that he should come in for recognition
and be allowed to compete for honors"

to be proud of.

The GenuIne vs.. CounterfeIt.

The genuine is always better than
counterfeit, but the truth of this
statement is never more forcibly re-
allied or more thoroughly apprecia-

the many cOunterfeits and worthless
substitutes that are on the market.
w. S. Ledbetter, of Shreveport, La,
says: after using numerous other
remedies without benefit, one box of
