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

says Il. III InOmaSs
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 treat
ment of catarrh, L. ii. Thomas means
exactly what this 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
not 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. An outfit costs but
81 and consists of an inhaler which
will last n lifetime and sufficient Hy-
omei for more than months 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 whatever
to the purchaser of Hyomei.

A STUBBORN COLD OR
BRONCHITIS

yields more readily to SCOTS
Emulsion of cod-liver oil than
to anything that you can take ;
and if persistently used a few
days, will break up the cold.
When you awake in the
night choked up and cough
ing hard, take dose of the
Emulsion, and you will get
immediate relief, where no
cough medicine will give you
relief. 1t has a soothing and
healing effect upon the throat
and bronchial tubes.
Most people understand
SCOTS Emulsion is a great
body builder-but it is equally
good to allay inflammation
and cure colds and violent
coughing.

The fire Saturday was at the home
of Robinson Nye, 1921 Sixth avenue,
and what damage is done is fully
covered by insurance. The trouble
started in one of the upper rooms
where Mrs. l.. p. Savage does light
housekeeping. In preparing her break
fast an oil stove was used and from il
the fire had its origin. OF the two
rooms occupied by Mrs. Savage, the
woodwork of the one to which the
blaze was confined is ruined and the
other room was also badly damaged
by smoke. Many of the household
effects were destroyed and in at
tempting to eXtinguish the flames at
the start, Mrs. Savage was quite
seriously burned about the hands,
wrists and face.

y pretty little secret that has been
well kept since Feb. 3, is the fact
that William j. Tally has been mar
ried man since that date, though few
of his friends outside those most
intimate with him, have been aware
of the fact, and with the publication
of this congratulations will be show
cred upon Mr.. Tally and his estim-
able wife. Feb. 3, Mr.. Tally and Miss
Ethel OXendale, of Davenport, jour
neyed. to Muscatine, bent upon matri-
mony. but7 fully determined not to
let their friends into the object of
their journey. Returning they ac-
quainted their families with the news
of the happy event, but withheld pub
LEFTY of the same until the present,
when the secret leaked out from the
fact that they have arranged to build
a new home on Thirteenth avenue
and Fifteenth-and-a-half street.

MOLINE MENTION

Burglars entered the pool and bill
lard hall of Smith d Erickson, on
Fifth avenue, just west of Fifteenth
street, Friday night and took what
money they could find, something like
So. Entrance was effected through
small window in the rear which open
ed into the toilet room. The fasten-
ing on this window had recently been
broken, and the proprietors had ne
elected to fix it, leaving access to the
place easy. No light is left at night,
so that the job was accomplished
with very little fear of being seen.
j. Junge, the Fifth avenue butcher
just east of Fifteenth street, also re-
ported the theft of $1.1O from his
cash drawer

both in warm barn very soon after
they were hauled out. Possibly this
will bring an end to the record of the
dump for accidents, as the third time
in such cases removes the hoodoo, but
it would hardly be safe for some dar-
ing driver to take this for granted
and be reckless about unloading on
the dump.
a divorce suit, which is painfully
interesting to many people, was filed
with the clerk of the court Saturday
morning, in which j. C. Hall repre-
sents Mrs. Frank n. Stiles, formerly
Mamie Haskin, and asks for a decree
of absolute divorce from DIR. Frank
n. Stiles, formerly n practicing ply
stefan here, on the ground of infideli-
ty. The name of Elsie Hough, do
mestic at the Downs hotel, whom DR..
Stiles attended, is given as the core
spondent. DIR. and Mrs. Stiles were
married Sept %, 1897, and lived to-
gether until Dec. Is, 1902. In Decem-
Der of last year the defendant left for
Denver, Col, from where, month la
ter, it is alleged, he wrote for the
Hough woman to join him, which she
has done. Mrs. Stiles is a daughter
of Mr.. Haslin, of East Davenport,
with whom the couple had been max
ing their home during a goodly por-
ton of their married life. She asks
an absolute divorce, and. the priv
leges of an unmarried person.

Molders of the city are rallying to
the defense of John Findley. who is
held without bail for the murder of
Lieut.. A. Z. Bradley. A. fund is be-

see to it that the young man has
legal talent to aid him. Subscription

the men in the different boundaries
and are meeting with good success.
At the Moline Pump company's the
molders contributed $50. Other and
larger shops will do as much.

DAVENPORT DOTS

Mrs. John Stapleton, of 40 Warren
street, seems to have departed for
parts unknown, leaving her husband
to hunt up their furniture, which he
found at Cranbeck's second hand
store. Mr.. Stapleton found his home
bereft of wife and furniture when he
returned home from work Thursday
evening. He has brought replevin
suit in Justice Halls court to regain
possession of the goods, but his wife
seems to be out of reach of legal
summons.
Four cases of smallpox have been
reported in the family of City Flee
trician j. L. Moore, at s24 East Four
teenth street. The patients are Stella
Moore, aged IS; Bessie Moore, aged s;
Georgia Moore, aged 4; and Florence
White, aged IS years. DR.. Ben H.
Schmidt reported the cases. The
family has been placed in quarantine.
The death of Mrs. Alice Alger, wife
of eX-Police Officer James Alger, was
one of the sad and shocking events
of the past week. Mr.. and Mrs. Alger
had been living on Bridge avenue
near Locust street, and during the
past few days had moved out north
| of Mercy hospital, onto the Flambo
farm. They were hardly settled there
Thursday, when Mrs. Ayers death
occurred. Mrs. Alger had shown signs
of WEAKNESS about noon and had re-
tired to a bedroom and lain down.
Her mother on entering the room
heard a queer sound from the direc-
ton of the bed, and saw Mrs. Alger
roll her eyes and relax into a pos
ture suggestive of sleep. Surprising
that she had fallen asleep, she was
not disturbed. She was lying thus
when Mr.. Alger entered the room a
little while later, and spoke to her
before leaving. Receiving no response
he stepped near to the couch. and
| laid his hand on the PROSTATE form.
Still there was no response. y hasty
examination sent Mr.. Alger to the
door of the room, with the cry, ''My
God she is dead" And so it proved
she was. In her 3Sth year, Mrs. Al
ger had suffered an untimely death
from heart failure, and the home is
deeply bereaved.

esting and important meeting Satur-
day afternoon. Their only action
was to open six sealed bids that had
been submitted by as many different
persons or firms, all looking to the
completion of the library building
here, on which the Northern Building
company recently failed. The bids
were all rather higher than they
were expected to be. 1t is under
stood that j. +. Mason, the Northern
Building company in fact, some time
ago sent to the Aetna Indemnity
company, which had bonded him to
the library trustees, making them, in
effect, bid for the completion of the
work, and placing the figures, it is
believed, much lower than anybody
else would be likely to make them. 1t
is not known what his bid was, but it
was probably less than either of the
EsiX given below But Mr.. Mason is
not figuring in anything that the Ii
brary board has in mind. One fail
ure at his hands is enough to satisfy
| them. The bids that were submitted
Saturday were these: Charles Guetz-
kow & CO., Milwaukee, $32,S41; Fred
Andres & Co., Milwaukee. S33,21s;
John Soller, Davenport, $33,77O; Kolt-
Eau & Meyers, Davenport, $34,975;
John Mahan, Davenport, $4,000; A..
Steckel &c Son, Davenport, $35, 1s0
The board, under its contract with
the Indemnity company, has nothing
to do in the matter of these bids but
to receive and open them, and for
ward them to that company. This
7
! head office of the company Saturday
night. The contract of the Indemni-
ty company entities it to reject any
or all of them, if it thinks that they
are too high. Till the company's re-
Spouse is heard nothing will be
known as to its course in the matter.
1t is suggested that the private bid of
Mr.. Mason may cut some figure with
it. That is thing that remains to
be seen.

Saturday afternoon the city dump

similar to that which happened to a

but luckily they did not share the
same fate as the two previous cases,
as rescuing party had the animals
