and it is possible that the original in
tention may not be carried out The
plan was to have the Eastern Illinois
offices. occupy the sixth floor of the
building, just beneath the Rock Island
passenger department headquarters.
This portion of the building has not yet
been finished
The question has been raised as to the
sufficiency Of the space for the accom-
mediation of the increasing force in the
Eastern Illinois Offices This question
may be the obstacle which will prevent
the move being finally made.
In the allotment of space between the
Rock Island and the Lake Shore COM
panies the sixth floor. which fell to the
share Of the Lake Shore. was asked for
by the Rock Island. This request was
granted under an arrangement for rent
al which was satisfactory to both. The
Rock Island forces are installed with
out this rented space being taken up
and the presumption was that the room
was desired for some other lines. An in
crease in the Chicago force of the Lake
Shore, however, would terminate the
tenancy, as the latter company reserves
the right to terminate the renting ar
rangement whenever the space is need
ed This sort of contract, it is believed,
does not suit the purposes of the East
ern Illinois.

CAN'T OPERATE
one-Car Railroad Loses All Its
EQUIPMENT

Denver, Colo, July ga small fire
put q whole railroad out of business at
an early hour yesterday morning. This
road is the Colorado & Eastern, about
20 miles long It was built in 1855 from
Elyria to the Scranton coal fields and
the strangest thing concerning it is that
very few people knew of its existence
The rolling stock consisted of an en-
CINE, a passenger coach and a, boxcar.
Once a day these were sent over the
road for the purpose of holding the
franchise. This was the only reason.
for the road has an entrance to the city
that will bring a large price some day.
providing the franchise is not declared
forfeited. TIE road had erected a
round house.
Early yesterday morning, in some I'M
known manner the round house caught
fire, and before the department arrived
it was in ashes. The rolling stock was
inside and was so badly damaged that
for the present the road is out of BUSH
ness. But the general manager says it
will be in full operation again within a
short time and all the trains will be
running on schedule time The total
loss is estimated at 5000, and is cover
ed by insurance.

"Redondo will be cut out of all con-

complain of the way they were treated

covered that the baseball teams We're
taxed one dollar each for the use of
one small room in which they changed
their uniforms. The room was in use
less than two hours. and the teams paid
hard coin for the accommodation. Then
there was no one in the town who
made it a point to know anything
which the Dicnickers might ask con-
corning it. No one seemed to know
where the ball grounds were located,
and many persons missed seeing the
games. The grounds. when found by
the players, were little less than a dis
grace. There is also a kick about the
music. The town had agreed to supply

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER
Hyomei Destroys Germs of the Dis
ease and Keeps People Well.

There can be little or no doubt as to
hay fever being a germ disease. Is is.
too. one disease where prevention is
much easier than cure
All who are subject to this disagree
able trouble, should use Hyomei daily
Tor at least two or three weeks before
the time OF their annual attack. In
this way the annoying paroxyisms OF
watery and smarting eyes can be
avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes it
possible for anyone to breathe air al
home which is almost Identical with
that of the Adirondacks or White
Mountains or other resorts where hay
fever sufferers go to escape their
trouble,
If, however Hyomei has not been
used until the disease has begun. it is
necessary to use it more frequently, at
least half a dozen times daily. and Hy-
omei Balm should be rubbed into the
nostrils both morning and night. This
trea tment viii relieve at once and will
effect cure in nearly every case.
