pensers of the tactical fluid were weigh
ed in the balance by Health Commits
sioner Meyer and found wanting. Re
gardless of the warning by the expos
ure of other milkmen at the recent milk
test, at another test held Monday af-
terpoon it was revealed that five more
of Moline's milkmen were selling milk
below the standard required by the
state law. And among that number
was found one who was using formal
dehyde.
Distributes $6o, oOo.-Sixty thousand
dollars was distributed among the rail-
road employees at Silvis yesterday,
checks for the April pay roll. There
are at present about 1900 men in the
shops OF the 100000 in wages, $780,
600 went to the men in the motive pow
er department and $4,000 to the men
in the stores department. The pay roll
for May will be materially increased
over that for April because of the re-
sumption in all departments of the 10
hour day. Heretofore the men have
been working on a nine-hour basis.
The only reason for the return to the
10-hour day, as far as local people can
see, is that there will be steady increase
in work here in the future, due to the
decision of the Rock Island to do re-
pairing for the Frisco system.
To Buy Mckinnie Biock.-A syndi-
cate of local men has secured an ops

whereby DR.. P. l.. McKinnie, once of
this city and now of Evanston, will
dispose of the big brick block. The OPP
ton is signed by the doctor and his
wife, and it has several days yet to
run. 1t is generally understood that
the price set is $4,000 DR.. McKinnie
refused an offer short time ago from
other local parties of $62,500, and ia
his refusal he signified his willingness
to accept $4,000.

land in what is regarded as the most
fertile section of tropical Mexico and
probably the most fertile spot on
earth. The business has been gradu-

Two Men Slugged. - Two hold-ups
were reported to the police Monday
night on the east side and the officers
are still working on the case. Both
men were slugged and then robbed,
after which they were left senseless on
the ground. One of the men robbed
was a Russian and was held up under
the viaduct on Fourth street. He
claims to have lost $50 but the police
do not believe it was so large an
amount, as he had been around to a
of saloons drinking and spend
ing his money before he attracted the
attention of the parties who evidently
followed him to the viaduct and there
attacked him. The other fellow rob-
bed claims to be a barber from Cedar

Rock Island street and dragged into
the alley in the rear of the Feeney

1t Takes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, SO
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.

Rural Free Delivery Service.

Washington, February 9.-Repre-
sentative Finley, of South Carolina,
who is a member of the House Com
mittee or Post Offices and Post
Roads, and of the sub committee b.
fore which an important series of
hearings is being held, has received a
letter from the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, Mr.. DeGraw, in
which the recent order disseminating
the counting of mail packages on r.
f. ID. routes is discussed. ZMr. Fin
ley called on Mr.. DeGraw and told
him that it seemed to him that recent
moves in the f.. F. d. management
indicated disposition to cut off
routes in the Southern States. Mr..
DeGraw's letter is as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Finley: Recurring
to our conversation of yesterday re-
speoting the desirability of rural car
riers continuing to keep account of
the number of pieces of mail handled
on their routes, and fearing you did
not thoroughly understand our pur.
poses in regard thereto, l write to
say that while it is not practicable,
from service viewpoint, to keep
continuous record in the department.
of the amount of mail handled on the
different routes and that we have
consequently practically closed that
branch of records with the returns
for December, 1905, in order to util-
ize the clerks where their services
are more urgently needed we have
arranged for carriers to continue
making returns TO their respective
post offices of the amount jof mail
handled daily, these reports to be re-
tanned permanently on file at the dis
tributing offices.
Instructions have also been issued
to postmasters to submit quarterly
report for the quarter ending June
80, 1906. Thereafter the adepart-
ment proposes, from time to time, to
call for reports from postmasters
covering the amount of mail handled
on routes from their offices during
such periods as may seem desirable
or necessary. Under this method of
procedure you will observe that the
department will always have avail
able at post offices a record of the
work on rural routes emanating
therefrom, and also be in position at
all times to avail of such records if it
is found that they are preferable for
departmental purposes to special or
specific quarterly reports.
Yours very truly,
Z. V. DeGraw,
Fourth Asst. Postmaster General.
