American association team
President Sexton gave Gruebner TO the
Brewers in the deal. 1t was simply (
verbal arrangement, and recently
President Sexton was notified by Man
ager Joe Cantillion of Milwaukee that
he would not have any use for Grueb
ner this season. Therefore the player
reverts to Rock Island on the reserva-
ton of last fall. Rock Island has had
no further negotiations with Grueb
ner. and unless there arises a circum
stance that will change the arrange
ment of the local infield as now agreed
upon he will not be called upon to re
port here. President Sexton states
that he does not believe that Grueb
ner has signed with Springfield.
More Men Come Next Week.
Jack Sweeney. the shortstop; Jesse
Ruby. the left fielder, and Kohley Mil
ner, the second baseman. are expected
to arrive in the city next week. Man
ager Mcconnell has no further word
from Hank Walters, who wintered at
his home in Louisville. Last week
there was a letter from him in which
he stated that he expected TO report to
Rock Island. He has been provided
transportation, but has not yet signed
a contract. It's up to Hank.
New Park In Readiness.
Work at Rock Islands new park
so far as it will be carried forward
this season is about completed. and
those who have visited it agree that
the association has fulfilled it's promise
in giving the city as fine grounds as
are to be found in the western country.
All that is lacking is the painting.
Some of this will be done probably
this season. The grounds have been
leveled, but will not be sodded until
next fall. The diamond will be one
in the rough this summer The club
house is located at the northeast cor
ner Of the park. 1t has been equipped
with four shower baths for the use OF
the players. The water will come from
a well that is to be sunk by the asso-
citation.

PLAGUE IN PRISON
R;gid investigation Under Way
BY the State Board
of He alth.
ALARMINGINCREASEATJ JOLIET
Due to Lack of Sunlight, Poor Air and
Lack of Exer-
else.

Scientific research into the causes
of consumption at the Joliet state
prison. both from a medical and san
itary standpoint. was begun yesterday
morning by members of the state board
of health Those in the party were
President George W. Webster, of Chi
cago: Dr. ]. A. Egan; ]. A Harmon,
of Peoria, engineer, and J. H. Long.
professor of chemistry at Northwest
ern college
An alarming increase in the spread
of the great white plague at the peni-
Tertiary during the past year prompt
ed Warden Murphy to invite this in
vestigation. A thorough inspection of
the institution was made yesterday and
further experiments viii be made. The
tests of air in the cells showed unsat-
isfactory results. In some of them
there was no draft at all.
No Sunlight in Cell Corridors.
The absence of sunlight in the cell
corridors was also a bad feature. The
conditions at the wOmen's prison are
better than at the mems. but there is
room for improvement there.
After his investigations President
Webster said: LAS to the conditions
which prevail here l am not in any po-
sition to speak until l have gone into
them more thoroughly, but from what
| have seen | believe things are much
better than they have been represent
ed. OF course, the condition of the
cells in certain portions of the prison
which We have just visited is bad, only
about 100 cubic feet of air being all
that is allowed TO each prisoner in his
sleeping room, and, another thing, the
Light is very poor, yet this is not so
bad as often happens"
Plan Rigid Investigation.
"As for the causes of tuberculosis.
which is said to have increased so
much of late" said DR.. Webster. I'VE
are to conduct a thorough investiea-
ton. Ii has been reported to me that
the disease has increased 40 per cent
during the last few years. 1t is prob
ably to the small amount of sunlight
poor air and lack of proper exercise
tAat this IS due. We do not know"
Warden Murphy and Prison Physi-
clan Fletcher say that the enforced
ldleness of the convicts, due to the
restrictions of the anti-convfct labor
law, has caused the increase in con-
sumption. Both officials strongly rec
ommend the construction of new
and modern dollhouse.

TAKES A RECESS AS
JURY IS SWORN IN.
Superior Court Is Convened
Monday.
OATH ADMINISTERED TO JURIEs
Judge LittIeIohn Then Adjourned SEES
sion Until Monday, June 5th-An-
other Panel of Jurors Drawn For
Second Week-Motions Saturday.

The May term of Sumter superior
court was regularly convened Monday
morning but, as soon as organization
was effected and the grand and traverse
Jurors sworn in, Judge LIttlejohn an
nounced recess of two weeks, in del
erence to the wishes of farmers here.
This, as has previously been stated,
was donein order to afford the farmers
who would be compelled to attend
court an opportunity to catch up with
their work in the cotton fields.
The session of court, therefore, will
be entered upon on June 9Th.
Judge Littleiohn did not charge the
grand jury, preferring to wait until
their duties were really entered upon,
as all subjects touched upon would be
fresh upon their minds. Both the grand
and traverse Jurors were at once ex
cused for the term of two weeks.
AS now constituted the grand jury of
twenty-five members, for the May
term, is as follows:
J, O. Nicholson, G. G. HAWKING, W.
T. Minis, ID. P. Murray, j w. Harris,
Jno. T. Howell. j. O. Macarthur, l..
Parker, @. N. Griffin, A. W. Buchanan,

pree, A. F. Hodges, A. B. Connors, R.
L. Bivins, G. Fl. Sieg, w. g. Carter,
j. A. Walker, G. A. ChambIiss.
The traverse jurors who would have
served this week will serve the week
beginning Monday, June 9Th.
s@Slere is already panel of twenty
four jurors drawn for the second week
of court, but Judge Eittlejohn drew
still another panel yesterday and will
use them as talesmen if needed.
1t is quite likely that the criminal
docket will be taken up the second
week of the session, as the amount of
civil business at this term is not large,
and in such event the forty eight Jurors
thus summoned for the second week of
the court may be employed very we'll
Upon the taking of recess yesterday
Judge Littlejohn announced that he
would hold motion court on Saturday

a NEW GERM THEORY.
Explains Cause of Much of the Sickness in Amerous

The most Irecent theory of scientists
is that the bodily health depends upon
the natural action OF the stomach. This
explains why those who use Ml-o~na
tablets are rarely ill, Taken before
each meal, Mi-o-na strengthens the
stomach so that disease germs are
either neutralized or else driven from
the system. You can eat what you
want and all you waet without fear of
indigestion, if you take Mi-o-na tab
let's before each meal.

away, thinking that they have heart
