Got Wrong Coat.

There is a story going the rounds
today on a Moline man who imbibed
too freely of Rock Island booze" He
was about three sheets in the wind
when he decided his hat needed
cleaning. He entered the Lloyd store
to have the matter attended to. While
there he took off his overcoat, and
when ready TO leave he put on a coat
supposedly his own, and came home
to this city. The next morning when
ready TO leave the house he reached
for his oYercoat. Then it was discov-
cred he had taken brand new coat
from the Lloyd store. His face
bianched as the situation dawned on
him. He hurried out. He met Officer
Wigers and told him what had occur
red. A telephone message was sent
to the Lloyd store and soon the Mo
line man was enroute 70 trade coats,
having possibly headed off the service
of a warrant Had a warrant been is
sued for him he would have had hard
work convincing court that no theft
had been intended.

story that was headed More Than
One Key Fits Lock- in which it was
narrated how young man, recently
married, had gotten possession of a
home that had just been completed by
local contractor moving in one night
unawares TO the builder, who had re-
fused TO give up the keys until a set
tlement had been made in accordance
with the terms of the contract.
The young man who recognized the
story as one fitting his case states
that it was correct in all essentials
excepting as to the financial arrange
ments. THE contract and receipts
show that about 500 is due the con-
tractor when his work is finished"
said the owner of the house, but as
the painting and porches are still I'M
finished, not saying anything of the
material, which is not of the quality
agreed upon. the owner felt justified
in holding back the balance of $780,
The house is paid for except this
amount, the owner said further, but he
declined to settle until the house was
finished as per contract. The builder
stood pat, and the owner took posses
sion in spite of his precautions to hold
him out of the house until the 500
was forthcoming

The John Ochs Sons have closed a
deal whereby the building formerly
occupied by the Davenport Morning
Republican on Main street, is sold by
the Davenport Mailing company for a
consideration of $4,000. The Messrs.
Ochs state they are not a liberty to
give out the name of the new pur-
chaser but that the property in ques-

other sources comes the information
that the place is to be used by the new
owners for theatrical purposes and
that the property will be converted
into a vaudeville house

No other female medicine in the

medicine has such a record of cures of
female troubles.
The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
TO see. The money which they pay to
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia f.

DUCK SHOOTING is POOR
Fowl Scare and Hard to Coax Within
Range of Guns.

Contrary To reports earlier in the
season which told of prospects of good
duck shooting this spring, hunters who
are coming in from the swamps state
that the flight is very light and the
fowl are exceedingly wary. If hun
ter well provided with modern shooting
apparatus and a big flock of live de-
coys bags dozen fowl in day he is
having great sport. The fact of the
matter seems to be that civilization
has about put the duck out of business
in this part of the country. II a bird
gets within 100 yards OF the ground in
the shooting season these days there is
someone under it 10 make it a target
Under such circumstances it is not
wonderful that ducks are scarce and
wary. and it is only when weather con.
ditions suddenly develop that make
life in the upper air burden that they
are so careless as to get within range.
