cepting lundir.

ter to Report March IL.

All the Rock Island players to whom
contracts have been forwarded have
signed up and returned the documents
excepting Pitcher Arthur Lundin.
Lundin, it will be remembered. last fall
announced that he was through with
the national game and it was to the
telegraph ticker for him for the re.
mainder of his days or at least till he
was able to buy a railroad of his own.
Several weeks ago Lundy was in the
city and it seemed that he had weaken
ed somewhat and predictions were in
dulged in at that time that he would
yield to the old fever this spring But
now II appears either that he was in
earnest clear through in his announce
ment of retiring or the signs of spring
have not yet got in their work.
Lister to Report March IL.
Pete Listerstoday received orders to
report for duty with the Portland club
to which he was sold by Rock Island
last fall. March IL. He expects TO
close terms in day or two.

Chicago are expected to arrive this at
ternoOn to be guests of President NJ. II.
Sexton, of this city, and President

will probably be given an order for a
new set of uniforms for the Rock Is

Concern.
NATIONAL CIGAR STANDS co.
Win Soon be Doing Business in Rock
Island Through Four Lead
ing Drug Stores.

Cigar dealers are now facing COM
petition at the hands of the Ma
tional Cigar Stands company. which
is announced will be doing business in
Rock Island within probably three
weeks Four of the leading drug stores
of the city will handle the goods. Stock
for one store has already arrived, and
the others will soon be here. Special
ly constructed, highly improved show
cases have been ordered, and the date
of beginning is dependent upon their
arrival.
The National Cigar Stands company
IS said to be entirely separate from the
United Cigar Stores company, which
is described as trust concern, being
furthered strictly by cigar men. The
National Cigar Stands company is said
to be concern established by the
drug interests with the object of re-
gaining a share of the cigar trade that
formerly the drug stores enjoyed. The
are much the same.
Any Number of Cents.
The National Cigar Stands company
handles mainly Key West brands of
goods. and they are retailed at prices
that are said to be lower than the
public is accustomed to paying for the
same grades at cigar stores. The >.
10 and Is cent idea is done away with,
and the different gradations are by
cents instead of by nickels. Your ia
vorite cigar may cost you two cents or
it may cost II cents or a number of
cents more or less.

DON'T DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Catarril by Breathing Hyomei-
Sold Under Guarantee by n. o. Rolls.

Sold Under Guarantee by II. -. holTS.
Hyomei is not cure-all; it is spe-
cific for the cure of catarrhal troubles.
Breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, the
aromatic healing of Hyomei penetrates
to the most remote part of the nose,
throat and lungs. healing all infiamma-
ton and killing the catarrhal germ
wherever present.
So successful has Hyomei been in
the cure of catarrh, that II. o. Rolls
sells it under a guarantee that it will
cost nothing unless it gives satisfac-
ton. The complete Hyomei outfit sells
for 81, and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket, a
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyo-
mel. The inhaler lasts a life time, and
if more Hyomei is needed extra bottles
can be obtained for so cents.
1t is the most economical of ali rem
edies advertised for the cure of Ca
tarrh, and. is the only one that treats
this disease without stomach dosing,
applying the medication and healing
where the disease germs are present.
