A Narrow Escape

The gasoline boat Marion returned to Douglas last night safe and sound. Mir. and Mrs. Bertram, who made the round trip in her to Pleasant Camp, passed through an experience that was exciting aud dangerous to the extreme. When the boat was on the way out, passing Point Hugh, the southern eX- tremity of Glass Peninsula, the sea was rough and the wind blew strong. Then 1t was that the boat stopped. The gaso- line failed, an attempt to supply the feed pipe from a can resulted in an explosion that filled the boat with the burning gas. Mrs. Bertram rushed from the cabin and onto the deck, and the plunging of the boat threw her into the sea. Her husband was busy sub- duing the flames and the lady was left to battle for life unaided. She had never learned to swim, but the instinct of self preservation is strong, and she succeeded in reaching the side of the boat, and was saved.
 A sailing slooptook the Marion in tow and brought her safely to Taku liar Dor, where repairs were made and she proceeded on her way. Mir, and Mrs. Bertram's many friends congratulate them on their marvellous escape.

TO TAKE CHANGE
Attorneys for William Nagel Will
Go to Henry County
for Trial.
COURT WILL GRANT MOTION
Motions to Quash Indictment and to
Discharge Defendant on Four
Felonies Are Overruled.

In the circuit court this morning
Judge Gest indicated that he would
grant a motion for a change of venue
in the trial of the cases against Will
liam Nagel, under indictment for muir
der and also for minor felonies of the
nature of rObberieS. A week is given
The attorneys for the defendant to pre-
pare for this, and it is probable that
the case will be taken to Henry county
for trial. The ground for the applica-
ton is the wide publicity given to the
facts and issues involved in the case.
Indictments Are Good.
The court Overruled the motion of II
A. Weld and Adair Peasants to quash
the indictments found at the last SEES
sion of the grand jury. on the ground
that the burden is upon the defendant
to show that the presence of the stem
ographer in the grand jury room preju-
diced the case or that he influenced the
proceedings. This, of course, was not
shown
A motion was then filed TO discharge
the defendant as to all of the indict-
ments on the allegation that they are
al PAL vi Tie u
are also involved in the indictment on
the charge of murder This was also
IOverruled.
James Hanson Pleads.
James Hanson. charged with enter
ing the home of J. B. Cook. between
Milan and Reynolds, April %. and steal
ing money and jewelry of the value OF
$25.25, pleaded guilty in the circuit
court this afternoon, and was ordered
committed to the reformatory at Pom
tiac by Judge Gest. The boys parents
are dead and he came here from Des
Moines.
This disposes of all of the criminal
matters of the term, providing the Ma
gel case goes to Henry county, and as
no civil cases were ready for trial the
jury was excused until tomorrow morn.

CROWDS ARE GROWING.
Tempting Bargains Offered at M. & X.
Draw an Eager Army of Buyers
Extra Special Bargains Tom orroW.

The great crowds that continue to
fill the NJ. & K. is a direct indication
of the popularity of the Improvement
Sale which they are holding. The fact
that the patronage has increased reg
ularly bears out the statement that this
popularity is growing. The tempting
bargains offered create a great appetite
for more. People are constantly ask
ing: How long will this sale last?"
viii it last till my payday?" How on
earth can you sell such fine things for
such small prices?" And M. & X. re-
ply: 1T will last until not a single
stitch of this great stock is left. We
have made these bargains extra good
to move this stock out of the way in
the shortest possible time. When it is
gone the store will be remodeled, re-
decorated and restocked. 1t simply
means a new NJ. & K.-a brighter, bet
ter store than ever.
This is the object of this great mer-
chandizing event and if the attendant
crowds are a fair criterion by which to
Judge, one may feel fully assured OF
the success of this enterprising endeav-
or In watching the people at this sale
it becomes a matter of note that al

whether with the intention of purchas-
ing or not, comes away with bundle
or other evidence of the wonderful
power of the bargains. and withal
look of intense satisfaction. It's well
known fact that a customer always
gets even more for his money at the
NJ. & X. than their ads promise-there
is no disappointment there. The deter
mination to add to the interest of this
sale prompts the proprietors to throw
in additional bargains for each sue
cessiye week. These exceptional OF
ferings are bound to be widely inter-
esting. For instance:

vsitch Home from His Vacation.

Thomas Edwin Veitch returned last
evening from his old home at Tiskilwa.
He has been SO busy of late that he
concluded a short vacation would do
him good. He put in most of it fishing
in the Illinois and Michigan canal. and
the result was that he found excess
charges against his baggage when he
attempted to remove it from the train
with the assistance of one or two por-
tiers. Incidentally he received the
quiet admonition that such stuff would
cause less trouble if consigned to the
express car hereafter. But Tom
quick at repartee-responded with
something about there not going to be
any hereafter of that kind.
The reason is that Tom so far forgot
the dignified position he now enjoys in
the world as to run barefooted all the
time he was in Tiskilwa. AS a not
unnatural result the soles of his feet
are so blistered and bruised that he
goes about wearing felt slippers
But he's there some with the fish.

70 BE No CHAMPIONSHIP.
Another Football Idea of the Middle
West Conference.

Chicago, Jan. 22.@There will be no
championship in the future among
football teams OF the middle west, ae-
cording TO Dean Albion W. Small. who
represented the University of Chicago
in the recent football conference. if
the suggestions made at that confer
ence are adopted.
1T was agreed said Dean Small,
'sby The representatives, of all the coll
Ieges that the football schedules
should be so arranged that there will
be no way OF. deciding the champion
ship. The schedules will be made out
by athletic authorities who are to un-
derstand distinctly that no one team
snail nave chance to claim the cham
pionship."
This provision as well as the others
met with approval among members of
the faculty of the University of Chi
cage, and there seems to be little doubt
that they will be adopted by that in
stitution. The faculty of Northwest
ern university are also said to approve
of the changes recommended by the
conference.

seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinlxham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won

critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature Sc
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, anc
it was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was a rare combina
ton of the choicest medicinal root
and herbs found best adapted for tn,

liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cnret
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as {
labor of love.
But in 1878 the financial crisis strucl
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interest,"
of the Pinkham family, as this clas
of business suffered most from
fearful depression so when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other sourc'
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound was made know
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter
with their mother, combined forces t.
