New East Moline Ticket.

\ mass meeting will be held at the
vacant store building at the corner of
Seventh street and Third avenue in
East Moline next Tuesday evening to
launch new political party in the
village and TO call a caucus to place a
second ticket in the field at the coming

the work done by the present board,

WASTING AWAY

It's the small but constant
loss of flesh that indicates
physical waste - the gradual
slipping away of healthy flesh,
pound by pound, which no
ordinary food seems to re-
store. SCOTS Emulsion will
restore it. This Emulsion is
the greatest flesh builder OBJ
tainable. SCOTS Emulsion
first stops the wasting-that's
one gain. Then when it sup
plies new flesh and takes one
back to normal strength and
weight, that's another gain
and a big one.

In announcing special saleOfthis kind,
we think the public has a right to know
why and how we can do it, and as we
believe a story speeds best which is
plainly told, we propose to take the
public in our confidence, and tell them
all about it.
1t may be, and may not be generally
known that for the past 10 to 20 years
l have been running branch stores in
several of the larger towns and con-
signing goods to dealers in the small
towns throughout a radius of IS miles
each way from Rock Island. We have
had stores in such towns as Kewanee,
Savanna, Iowa City, etc, continuously
for the past 20 years. The paying of
salaries to managers and men to run
stores of this kind has proven unsatis-
factory, and l have closed up every
one of our branch stores, and the goods
have been shipped in. Hereafter We
propose to concentrate our business
and do it all from Rock Island, both
wholesale and retail. | have ordered

Our contracts for 1905 with factories
who make the goods we handle regular
ly at Rock Island were made in
November and December before we
decided TO close up our branch stores,
and the new spring stock has commenc-
ed to come in. Our new spring stock
of the old reliable Kimball pianos is
all here, and we have just received
notice that carload of the celebrated
Hobart NJ. Gable pianos will be ship
ped in three or four days. Among the
goods shipped in from branch houses,
there are several makes of first class
high grade pianos which we do not
carry regularly in Rock Island, and we
are bound to get rid of these at some
price.
In making our contracts for 1905,
there were several sample pianos sent
us from prominent eastern factories.
with a view of getting us to handle
their pianos for the year. but as we
did not buy these pianos, and cannot
keep them all. we shall put them in the
sale at what they cost to make.
On two or three occasions heretofore
we have offered piano bargains i'm spe-
cial sale. in fact we are the pioneers
for bargains. but never before have we
offered anything to compare with what
we now have on sale. either as to

Hit by sIedee and Lives.

To be hit squarely on the head with
a 12-pOund sledge hammer in full
swing and live was the remarkable
experience of Frank Berg of Carbon
Cliff yesterday. Although the ham
mer struck him with great force the
blow did not so much as burst the
skin. He is employed in one of the
gangs for the Rock Island road and
vest erday with Seeb Williamson was
engaged in cutting a hole through a
cement wall a short distance from
New Shops. Berg was holding CHS
el and Williamson was welding the
hammer. In some manner Williamson
swung the hammer around, intending
70 strike the chiseI, but he misjudged
the distance and the hammer fell on
Berg's head. He was rendered I'M
conscious and remained so for % min
utes. Help was summoned and with
TestOratives he was restored ts a con-
sciOus condition and later removed to
his home. He is single man.

express a purpose to prohibit altogether
the granting of licenses in the PAGES

enactment is void under article 4, section

elated and believe this view of the situ-
alton will be sustained. However, they
are not at all sure of high lie nse, as
the women taxpayers will be allowed to

AFTER DUTCH MONEY

Special to s'The Jersey City News.')
ATLANTIC CITY, August II, 1908.
Descendants of Theobald Metzger, an
early Amsterdam merchant, who died in
1851, after his government had seized
his property for war fund. have or
ganized to make a fight for its restora-
ton. Arno P. Mowitz, Philadelphia
lawyer. has been retained in the case and
is making his headquarters at the hotel
Adolphus here while gathering claim af-
fdayits from heirs of the American
branch of the family, now scattered
throughout South Jersey.
The present claimants are direct de-
scendants of Christina Metzger, only
daughter of Theobald. who came to
America. The campaign will be taken to
Holland in the fall, and the heirs are
confident that at least a compromise
can be effected with the representatives
