FUSIL AIDE
OF SHOT rs
4 FIRED
CITIZENS OF QUIET DELL FRI
pay NIGHT AT THREE MIDNIGHT
dARAUDERs.
CAUGHT ATTEMPTING 70 ROB THE
HEN HOUSE OF MRS. HICKMAN,
A WIDOW.
Believed That Several Shots Hit the
Mark But Not SufHeiently to Cripple
Them-public Meeting May Be Called
and Summary Action Taken.

The people OF Quiet Deli are thorough
" up in arms and nave resorted to them
because of the proving and thieving
that the whitehair family and their
clan are doing in that neighborhood-
Another fusilade OF shots was indulg-
ed in Friday night by the appearance of
three men at Mrs. Naomi Hickman's
home after the shades of night had fall
len. The three fellows crept stealthily
toward the hen house of this widow and
were about to rob her of her fowls, when
they were discovered by neighbor,
whose house Is near that of Mrs. Hick-
man. No sooner were they discovered
than several shots rang out on the mid
night air. This aroused other neigh
bors who quickly grabbed firearms and
fred shot after shot at the retreating
fugitives.
1t Is believed that many of the shots
took effect although not to the extent
of Gripping he thieves so that hey could
not get away. The word is that the
shots could not have missed them alto
gether, because of the effort TO make
them count.
The situation mas arrived at nm acute
stage and there is much talk Of pub
lie meeting to determine or hasty and
effective action. Dynamiting the White
hair home is ADVISED by some, but cooler
heads deprecate this and advise the en-
ploymcnt of every legal action at their
command and after that the removal Of
the family from tine neighborhood by
force.
There is considerable fear mn alarm
as men who make their living by prowl-
ing around like midnight marauders and
barn burning miscreants are dangerous
to the safety of life and property. The
apprehension. that these fellows may do
something frightful before the matter is
settled has about resolved itself into a
movement to get rid of there people at
all hazards and at any cost.

M1ILIoNAIRE,s POOR STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach of the over.fcd
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomaehs- The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower which has been
a s9svoeite household remedy for all
go zach troubles for over IS years. Au-
Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
Setting appetite and insuring perfect

tifs system and makes life worth living,

STORY OF ALITTLE SHOE
FROM THE CHICAGO FIRE

l.. +. Sutton, of Clinton. la. receiv-
ell by mail yesterday small box con
tanning Il little rubber shoe, and was ut
a loss to understand why it was sent
TO him until upon opening his mail
he found a letter from p. S. Sanner. of
Chicago, which explained the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Sanner wrote from the Chicago
Manncrchor, saying that while eX-
aiming the ruins of the Iroquois the
atrc. Friday afternoon, he came across
the little shoe. which he picked up
and noted the name Margaret Sutton
written Oh the inside of the sole.
Turning to the files of the Chicago
papers, he found among the list of
the missing. the names of the wife
and daughter of l.. F. Sutton. of Gin
ton, Iowa. and at Cnce wrote to Mr.
Sutton.
The writer of the letter expressed
the greatest sympathy fer one who
might have lost his love ones. stated
a hope that they were not now num-
bered among the missing. and the be
lief that the small souvenir might be a
treasured one.
Mr.. Sutton values the little shoe.
although the tiny wearer thereof is
well and hearty, and equally appreci-
ates the tacit evidence of the brother
HOOD of all men. and the earnest
sympathy that they have one for an
other.

the city. According to the prognosti-
Gator the following will occur:
Eclipses-There will be two ecIipSes
this year. both of the sun. This is the
least number that can occur in sin
gle year. and when this does happen
both must be of the sun. They are as
follows:
l. An annular eclipse of the sun
March Il. invisible i'm the United
States, except in the Philippine isl
ands and Guam. 1t will be visible gen
orally throughout southern Asia. In
dian ocean, eastern Africa and i'm the
western Pacific ocean. The path of
the annular phase passes through the
Philippine islands north of Manila.
southern Siam and northern Sumatra
to Cape Delgado. ON the east coast of
Africa. touching the northern part of
Madagascar.

COUNCIL ON JAUNT
Putting in Afternoon Inspecting
Davenport and Moline Water
works Plants.
LARGER PUMPING FACILITIES
New Machinery Will Probably be In
stalled at Rock Island
Station.

! The city council is eff On a iaunt TO
Davenport and Moline this afternoon.
examining the waterwOrks pumping
facilities in those places for the pur-
pose of gaining ideas TO be employed
in the improvements contemplated at
the local plant. The aldermen left the
city hall at l O'Clock. boarding n spe-
cial car furnished by the the Tri-City
Railway company.
There are two pumps at the Rock
Island waterworks, but one has about
outlived its usefulness, so some of the
aldermen who have been investigating
assert. and they have the backing of
the superintendent of waterworks. Il.
T.. Bancroft
Some of the aldermen have the idea
that the expenditure of a few hundred
dollars would repair the old pump so
that it would be nearly as good as
new. but they had their opinions al
tered somewhat at Monday nights
meeting of the council. when esti-
mates secured by Aid. +. f. Robbins.
chairman of the waterworks commit
tee, from Moline and Davenport con-
tractors. showed that the repairs
could not be made short of 5000.
Consumption is Growing.
1t is claimed further that even after
the pump was repaired it would only
be serviceable a short while and that
eventually the city would have to buy
Il new pump. The demands on the
plant are growing rapidly.
and it is felt that the only alternative.
to be on the safe side, is the invest
ment in new machinery.

letter:
"My wife had been suffering from q
complication of diseases for the past 25
years.
"Her case had baffied the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic consti-
patton of several years. standing.
"She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of
woman-change of life. In June, 1895,
I wrote to you about her case. You adj
vised a course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced, and have
TO say it completely cured her. She
firmly believes thatshe would have been
dead only for these wonderful remedies.
"About the same time wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of % years. standing. At times
1 was almost past going. 1 commenced
to use Peruna according to your instruc-
lions and continued its use for about
year, and it has completely cured me.
