PLAY A RAPID GAME OF BALL
Our Girls Show The Visitors How
to Make Good Score.
THE FINAL SCORE WAS THREE TO FIVE
The Seattle Girls Are Good Players But The
Home Team Out Chased Them.

The state normal school won the bas.
ket ball game Saturday evening in the
normal gymnasium, from the state uni
versity team by a score of ; to5.
From the time the visiting team an
rl"ed in town the home TEAM felt pretty
shaky, as the Sound team wa, confused
OF pretty robust looking girls who APP
parently had the advantage in both size

game to win and accomplished their
purpose
THE GAME.
The time was called for the game at
S:l5 by Referee Saunders, who an.
nOunced that the first half would last
twenty minutes, and the second half
fifteen minutes, with a ten-minute rest
between.
From the time the ball was put in
play it was very evident that the home
team was much the strongest, playing
all through the first half under their
own basket, but the willy visitors kept
the ball from passing through the hoop.
Even though Seattle fouled several
times, Perry failed to score for the
normal until after Hanson had scored
for the university from a free throw.
The next free throw for the normal was
successful and the first half ended with
even honors-one point to the credit of
each team.
In the second half the ball passed
rapidly from one end of the field to the
other, and considerable skill was ex-
hibited on both sides. This half was
free from fouls and, in fact, very free
from errors of any kind, thus making
it very pretty game for onlookers.
up to the last three minutes OF the finish
it was nobody's game. At this time
jamie Young, by beautiful throw
from the field sent the sphere through
the hoop for the normal raising it's
score to three, which, within another
minute, was augmented by two more
points by similar play by Louise
kingston. This left two minutes of
time and the university four points in
the rear 10 say that the time was
employed vigorously would be putting
it mildly, and it began to look as if no
more points would be made but within
the last sixty seconds Edwards raised
the university score two points by a
field goal, but ere such another play
could be made, time was called leavin.

MOLINE MENTION

The first clue in the mysterious dis
appearance of August Goldberg, the
secondhand dealer on Fourteenth

in the statement of friend of Mr..
Goldberg, who declares that he saw
the missing man in Galesburg day or
two ago. Report has it that Goldberg
was without means of returning home
when seen. Mr.. Goldberg has been miss
ing a week. His family paid little at
tention to his absence for few days.
as he has disappeared in much the
same manner in the past, only the
period of his absence has always been
for but day or two at a time. The
last heard of him was when he started
for East Moline last Thursday to
transact some business. Develops
ments proclaim that he had stopped
at suburb saloon for a few moments
leaving after having taken drink al
the bar From that time till the re-
port that he was in Galesburg Mr.
CoIberg's whereabouts were in dark
ness as far as his friends could dis
cover.

Chicken thieves are rampant in the
vicinity of Prospect park and among
the residents of Rock river bottom.
Jarvis Fargo, engineer OF the steel
works, has lost upwards of so of his
prize fowls as the result of a success
sion of raids, and Z. S. Shafer finds
he is short a half dozen of his flock.
Other residents report similar losses,
and the impression is gained that the
roosts have been the object of re-
peated excursions. 1t is believed an
organized band is devastating the
fiocks, and some plan of organizing
to thwart the marauders is under
way.

YOUR MONEY RETURNED.
If HyOmeI Does Not Cure You of Catarrh,
Says T. II. Thomas.

In advertising that he will refund
the money to anyone purchasing "A
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, L. H. Thomas means eX-
actly what the guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly 100 or else he
could not afford to make this unusual
offer. But if the treatment should be
adapted to your case, there will be no
questions or quibblings when you go
to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed The Hyo-
mel treatment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells. sOothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and last
ing cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs
but 81 and consists of an inhaler
which will last lifetime and suffi-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for so cents.
T. II. Thomas gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells TO refund the money if it
does not cure. There is no risk what
ever to the purchaser of Hyomei.

WE EXCHANGE
RECORDS

Bring us your old disc records that
you have grown tired of (either CO.
lumbia or NictOr), and we will ex-
change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you so cents for your 1O-inch
record and other sizes in proportion.
The new Improved Columbia Records
are of elegant workmanship and are
a decided advancement in the art of
record making. They have a full,
sweet tone, and owing to the manner
in which they are made they have a
less scratching tone; the needle seems
to run smoother on the record. We
also wish to introduce to your notice
the new Grand Opera Sound Box,
which is designed to obviate the
scratch of the needle and at the same
time retain the full volume of tone.
We will exchange the new Grand
Opera Sound Box for any of the old
style Columbia sound boxes now on
the market Cali at our warerooms
and get our plan of exchange. We
carry the largest line of records in
the city.

that the woman and child left home

Word from the Rock river bottom
is to the effect that the coal haulers
are raising a loud protest on the con-
dition of the lane to the bridge since
the work Of building a ditch to carry
off the surface water has been under
way. The report is that it is inn
possible to haul load of 60 bushels
over the lane, and the usual load runs
from 20 to so bushels. This is the
season of the coal haulers' harvest
and the protest is a natural one, and
all the more vigorous because the
probabilities are that the road viii be
in bad condition for the greater part
of the winter. The intent of the ditch
is to relieve in a great measure the
troubles of the coal haulers and other
traffic over the lane, but it seems that
the work has been started at a time
when the most inconvenience from
tearing up the road is experienced.
