DORMIT0RIEs ARE WANTED
Will Probably be Installed in Associa-
ton Buiiding-0uestion of
Profit or Expense.

L. L. Mcdonald, general secretary of
the Rock Island Y. NJ. c. A. returned
last evening from Clinton, where he
spent the day investigating the man
agement of the Y. NJ. c. A. in that
city, and securing information % be
used in a general table which Mr.. Nc
Donald will compile. This table will
show the privileges of the associations
in all cities of the size of Rock Island,
and those of the same class in smaller
and larger cities, and will give the
membership, the membership fees
charged. and other fees for privileges
of the association. The main object
is TO demonstrate that the associations
which have dOrmitories and swimming
pools found these features to be finan-
cially profitable. and are a source of
revenue rather than expense TO the as
sociatiOn.
DOrmitOry Proposed.
During the last year there has been
considerable agitation in Rock Island
for the installation of dormitOries in
the association building. and plans have
been considered with this in view The
directors are hesitating. in order that
they may be assured that the project
will not prove unsuccessful from a
financial point of view The plan most
favored is the renodeling of the audi
torium. which brings comparatively no
revenue. to provide IL rooms, which
would bring the association a revenue
of over 81 900 a year. Should the build
ing be remodeled and the third floor be
finished, by raising the roof and extend
ing the third floor back over the audi
forum, the expense would be over
$1,000. but would be justified by the
revenue of over $4,000 yearly, which
would be derived. Thirty rooms could
easily be provided for in this plan, and
there is no question that they would
meet a demand which exists at the
present time.
SwImminE Pool.
The swimming pool is feature
which has long been desired, and is
being installed in every new building
being erected. The table which Mr..
Mcdonald is planning to compile will
probably show that the increased mem
bership fee where there is the swim
ming pool makes this feature finan-
cially profitable one. AS an attraction
for larger Membership it cannot be -ex
ceIled.
Clinton is erecting a new association
building, and the corner stone will be
laid Aug. 8. according TO present plans
The new building will cost $45 900, and
this sum is already raised so that when
the building is occupied it will be free
from debt II is one of the finest in
this section of the country, and includes
dormitOries, swimming pool. and mod

for marrying a divorced woman
Paul thought the forgiveness extend

Moscow with her. At Eydtkuhnen, a
frontier town on the Russo-German
border, the Russian police arrested
the wife. The Grand Duke Paul
stormed and raved, but the police Of

beer contains twenty times as much
alcohol as one dose of Ayers Sarsa-

little further: You would have to
drink about half a bottle of Ayers

the man nearly half dollar. while
the beer would cost him only five
cents. We have yet to hear of any
person who ever acquired a love for

medicine, and has the taste of a
medicine. But we are told that
taste for beer is soon acquired. In
view of this, can you imagine any
thing more perfectly ridiculous than
all of this terrible cry about the alco-
hol in this medicine? And then we

Having heard that the ]. c. Aver

public the complete formula of each
Of its medicines, we interviewed the
treasurer and general manager, DR..
Charles III. Stowell, in order to ascer-
tain If this was true. DIR. Stowell
said that it certainly was true, and
that it was simply the conclusion of
a plan which he had been working
upon for long time.
When asked what effect 1t would
nave upon the proprietary medicine
business If all houses were Obliged to
publish their formulas, he said, in his
opinion, it would favorably AFFECT the
sale of all those medicines founded
upon merit, all those preparations
that were genuine medicines. On the
other hand, he believed Just as
strongly that it would mean the COM
plete ruin of frauds, fakes and
swindles.

There will be no Lucas ball team
in Spokane this year. This much is
conceded by those whom the little
man hunting for a job had arrayed
FOR a time on his side.
Notwithstanding desperate efforts
made within the last few days to
continue the bluff of entering Spo-
kane the little Lucas left last night
with the full knowledge that a sec
ond ball park and team in Spokane
would be an impossibility.
o o o
To add to the discontinue of the
Lucas crowd, the little Lucas was
yesterday served with a restraining
order issued by Judge KEENAN,, pre-
venting him from promoting or at
tempting to promote baseball
league in this city, Butte, Boise or
Salt Lake. He is also prohibited from
asserting that the Pacific National
league has been dissolved or has vol
UNFAIRLY forfeited the national pro-
lection. This effectually prevents the
tiny man from further pursuing his
tactics in Spokane. and, realizing the
uselessness of keeping up the bluff,
he left last night for the coast towns
to explain matters.
o o o
Dugdale was emphatic in his state
ment to personal friends that he
would not take charge of a ball team
in Spokane for Lucas, declaring his
belief that it would pay no one to
put in a rival team.
With this detection Lucas was
driven to his wits end. but after
finding no park site ready for him,
the hardest blow was the restraining
order preventing him from talking
about it.
O o o
Charlie Reilly has taken charge of
the Salt Lake team and is going
ahead in expectation of playing out
law ball this season. He has already
secured a majority of his players and
has others who are merely awaiting
