PLAN TO GO BY HOUSE BOAT
Attractive Method For Up River People to
See st, Louis Fair,

An interesting scene to be witnessed
at st. Louis next year during the pro-
gress of the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition, and one which will be furnish
ed entirely by visitors to the great in
teTnational display, will be the array
of houseboats which will line the
banks of the Mississippi from early in
the spring until late in the fall. and
many of which will no doubt remain
there until removed by some one in
authority.
To build and equip a house boat and
then float down the Mississippi in it to
st. Louis is an idea that has entered
into the heads of hundreds of peop'e
of the upper Mississippi valley. NJ t
only will it make a pleasureabIe tril
to thus spend weeks in lazily floating
along in that nomadic fashion, but the
cost of craft, when it is constructed
by trio or quartet of persons. will
be no more than railroad or steam
boat passage and a living place will
be afforded when their destination is
reached.
It is probable that not a few from
this city will use this plan to visit the
big attraction at st. Louis.

WE EXCHANGE
RECORDS

Bring US your old disc records that
you have grown tired of (either CO.
lumbia or Victor), and we will ex-
change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you 80 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
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. Call at our warerooms
and get our plan of exchange We

MOLINE MENTION

Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Pryor and family
are now probably safe at their desti-
nation at Mclean. H.. due to the act
ion of Mayor Skinner. He first at
tempted to get the railroad company
to make good the mistake which
brought them here instead of to Me
Lean, but on failure of this the
mayor went into his own pocket and
paid the way of family of seven to
Bloomington and gave enough money
to pay the way from that place, If
miles to Mclean. The family appreci-
ated the act very much, and they will
attempt to make the railroad com
pany make things right.

New York's down town district. with
a church, saloon and sky scraper

the great vault robbery, where Il real
vault door is drilled, filed with giant
powder and blown in true burglar
fashion. \ sneak thief enters the
vault for the purpose of theft and is
uncOnsciously locked in by the owner,
who locks the door preparatory to his
home going. The sneak's accomplices,
who are on watch, crack the vault TO
release their pal. The undertaking is
successfully carried out. but the un-
willing prisoner pays a fearful price
for his liberty, for the force of the
explosion, together with frightful
powder burns, marks him for life.

SAVES FAMINE SHIP.
Fourteen Persons Four Days on Dis

| Fourteen Persons Four Days on Dis
abIed Vessel Without Food.
| Philadelphia. Pa, Oct. l9-F'ol' four
days seventeen persons, the crew and
| passengers on the schooner Ruby and
Bessie. drifted about the Atlantic ocean
| in d disabled vessel without food. That
they escaped death by starvation was
due to their being sighted by the
Liverpool for this port.
The story OF the narrow escape from
death of the people on the schooner was
told by Capt. Nielsen Of the Haverford
when 1t arrived here yesterday. The
schooner sailed from Georgetown S. c.,
on Sept II for Patchogue l.. l. On
board We're Capt. Marshall. the mas
ter his wife. and four children, an
other passenger, and a crew of two
mates and ten men.
I'VE sighted the schooner in distress
about 100 miles east of Cape Hen
Ilopen," said Capt Nielsen. Its sails
We're gone and distress signals We're
| hoisted. We changed our course and
when we neared the craft it was 2
most pitiful sight. The people on board
were so weak from lack of food that
| they could barely crawl about the
| deck.
Il sent small boat and one of my
officers on board with food and when
they reached the schooner the men
fairly fought for the first mouthfuls
Capt Marshal said his vessel had been
struck by furious gales and blown far
from the track of ships. Its sails We're
blown away and for more than two
weeks the vessel drifted helplessly
about the ocean. The supply of food,
intended for a short voyage, rapidly
disappeared, and! for several days the
passengers and crew existed on half
rations Finally everything eatable
was gone No vessels We're sighted,
and after four days of starvation they
had made UP their minds to die.
Il furnished the schooner with food,
oil, and material to repair enough OF
the sails to get along, and it started
for the nearest port.
