The findings of the grand jury, as

What has come of the grand jurys
probing iS moi at all surprising either
to those who have had hints of what
was going ON. or who have been at all
familiar with the moral situation
during the past two years. The up
shot of it all is that the grand jury
has established the fact that Rock
Island has of late been in the most
deplorable condition. morally speak
ing. that ii has ever been in its his
tory. The McConochie administra-
ton was bad enough in this respect,
no one will deny, but the Knox ad-
ministration has gone its predecessor
one better. or. in more appropriate
words. one or two worse. All of
which adds little more to the
evidence in support of the assertion
that the present administration of
city affairs is the most complete all
around fizzle that could possibly af-
tiict one of the best towns on the
map.

Every mar reveals the secret of his
life at some critical moment. With
Moses it was when he saw an Egyptian

that while he lacked in discipline his
heart was right. And that is the prin-

Victims of catarrh of the head, ca

tarrh within the system.
This is so true that few grip suffer-

ed all the three-cushion players of the
Continent challenged him at the three

Sanchez. whom the Europeans consider
the greatest three-cushion expert in the
world, was particularly anxious to get a
match on with the Chicago player.
SO anxious was Sanchez to cross cues

When Jevne was In st. Louis the acad-
envy bettors would have backed him

The match was finally arranged. Very
few of the Paris academy bettnrs would
back Jevne. so the American billiard colo

imagination to be more dexterous than his

Jevne defeated Sanchez by a score Of 100

A few days after his arrival in Paris
Jevne tied up with Ribas and defeated him
Levy by score OF 10 to 81.
Finding that they could not beat Jevne
the Frenchmen arranged team with
Jake Schaefer and Lloyd Jevne, represent
ing the United States. while Marva and
Barutal defended the colors Of France.
Schaefer and Jevne proved the better
pair and won the game by score of 100

Jevne contradicts the reports about Jake
Schaefer's health being poor.
According to Jevne. Schaefer Is in the

game of his life.
In the academy games Schaefer has de-
fcated all the noted French and Austrian
players at the three-cuhion game, while
Jevnc has won the long end of all the
purses in the three-cushiOn matches.
Sherman. the Washington player. has
