Fire Laddie Cook. of Hose had IA
narrow escape from injury in an en-
counter with viscious dog on Di-
vision street Sunday. The canine
fixed his teeth in the fireman's leg,
but the heavy underclothing prevent
ed any abrasion on the skin. Cooks
trousers were torn. however. and it
is up to the owner of the dog to make
the damage good.

Vim. Ubelal1er, President of the Lake
View Lodge of FOresters, writes from
1897 North Clark ST., Chicago, Ill, the
following letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Gentlemen-For years past when 1
have been exposed to wet or inclement
weather, my chest would hurt me and 1
would have serious Indigestion, and 1
would be laid up for day or two, caus-
ing inconvenience and pain.
One of my lodge friends advised me
to try Peruna, as it had helped him, and
/ found that bottle cured me.
If I feel badly now I at once take two
or three doses, and find it keeps me in
fine health. Peruna is worthy of every
ones confidence.-WM.U BELAKER.
1t is only just ordinary good, common
sense to provide against Indictment
weather. If you have the slightest cold,
cough, sneezing, or any other indication
that you are "under the weather." few
doses of Peruna will put you right.

De WINDT A TREAT
Third Annual Entertainment of

Club.
LECTURE MOST INTERESTING ONE
Details of Venturesome Journey
From Paris to New York
by Land.

The Tri-City Press club gave its
third annual entertainment at the
Burtis opera house, in Davenport. last
evening, presenting Harry De Windt,
the distinguished traveller and author,
who gave an interesting narration of
his overland trip from Paris to New
York. Despite the unfavorable wealth
er conditions there was good at
tendance of tri-city people, all of
whom expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the lecture.
1t was a bit chilly this morning.
but only mild April morning com
pared to the temperatures that used
to greet Harry De Windt when he
poked his nose outside of his sleeping
bag after a coy night Graded in the
SHOWS of the Arctic circle, and sung
to rest by the lullaby Of polar
zephyr of 60 or 20 degrees below zero.
How men accustomed to this climate,
and not accustomed to that one, could
live to get across those frozen wastes.
when even the Eskimo dogs went mad
or died of the cold, is n mystery. but
that is what Mr.. De Windt and his
two companions did. They were all
their rambling had been done under
the tropic sun as under the vertical
rays of the pole star, and the wonder
grows that they ever got through
that trip by land from Paris to New
York, with all the lack of food, the
hard-wearing journeys afoot, the dan
gers from arctic storms and from
savage natives and from the I'M
known perils of the frozen wilder
ness.
In short, one can hardly imagine "A
more venturesome undertaking than
that which Mr.. De Windt and his par
! tY essayed- There were only three
of them. They could not take a large
outfit or a large store of supplies.
Faced Danger
They were feeble in case of the
need of defense. They were going
into the trackless wastes of the great
northern Siberia swamps, and their
only neighbors foT hundreds of miles
were to he the nomads of those
frozen stCppes, as much to be feared
as to be Stunned because of their
disgusting habits But the grit and
push of the three travellers took them
through, even when the Russian Off
cials begged them to turn back from
the certain fate that awaited them
if they went ON.
All this, as can he seen, made a
tale of most vivid interest. In the
telling of it Mr.. De Windt had the
assistance of the fine stereopticon of
