committee hopes to have the work

new lifeboat made of canvass and
capable of carrying 5000 pounds was
given a test short time ago before
government officials with most graft
flying results. The claim that it is
impossible to capsize this unique boat
was fully substantiated. The claim
that Hostetter's Stomach Bittets is the
best remedy before the public to cure
indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, con-
stipation. nervousness, insomnia, liver
and kidney troubles. chills. colds or
malaria is being proven more conclu-
sively every day. Hundreds of per-
sons who had been experimenting
with various remedies. without sue
ces. have used the Bitters and will
ingly testify that it restored them to
good health. We hope you'll try it
today for your health's sake. For sale

Tom Burke. the individual who stole
a team of horses from his employer,
John He'll, Jr., was yesterday brought
before Justice Hall for his preliminary
hearing. The prisoner. through his at
torney, c. T. Cooper, waived examina-
ton and was bound over TO the grand
jury. Being unable to furnish bail, he
was taken back to Jail. where he will
spend New Years day and cOnsidera-
BILE time thereafter. as the guest of
Sheriff Macarthur. Burke is the man
who was given So by his employer and
sent across the river for load of coal.
He 'blowed" in the So. seld one of Mr..
Hell's horses to Charles Ostergrant, of
Moline. for $50. and traded the other
horse TO l.. Schwartz, of Rock Island.
When arrested by Detective Kearney
in Moline Burke had s4S.95 in his peck
cts. This sum was turned over to Mr..
Ostergrant TO recompense him for the
amount he had paid for the stolen
horse and which was taken from him
and restored to its rightful owner.

Lowering intake Pipe.

H. H. Haley and a force of 90 men
are engaged in lowering the city in
take pipe in the Mississippi river.
When the river began to freeze it was
discovered that the pipe. which is the
one through which all the city water
is drawn to the filter plant, was too
near the surface and that when the.
river froze it would freeze, too. Con-
sequently a force of men has been put
at work sinking ii lower in the river.
1t will be placed three feet deeper for
a distance of about 400 feet and the
work will probably take a couple OF
weeks, or more. In case the pipe
should freeze the city would be at a
decidedly uncomfortable condition for
the supply of water would be limited
to that stored in the reservoirs at the
waterworks. The river now is not
frozen deep enough to interfere with
the supply, but it swill not be long,
with this weather continued, before
the water will freeze TO a depth that
would include the pipe at its old po-
sition Being sunk three feet deeper,
all danger will be done away with.

fore Justice Hall yesterday afternoon
for his preliminary hearing. Elsner is
the man who forged the name of his
brother-in-law, c. G. Palmer, to a check
for s.. so and then had it cashed at the
Scott County Savings bank. At the
preliminary hearing the brother-in-law
did some tall side-stepping to avoid
prosecuting his relative. He even went
so far as to make the amount good and
to pay the costs. after which the case
was dropped. and Elsner, by means of
the relenting qualities of his brother
in-law. undoubtedly escaped serving a
term i'm the state prison.
