Investigation and all of them have been
separately called on to explain the
conditions under which they ordered
furniture and other goods from lh2
ouartermasters department; whether 1t
was for personal use or to be placed

whether the furniture was allowed 10
remain in those Offices. when the OIL
GERS details expire or whether 1t was
removed by them as personal prop-
erty.
In the latter case. the officers and
cmployes are being required to pay foI

Once more the Islanders went down.
and it was the tailenders that did it.
Eight scores were piled up by the Com
modOres yesterday afternoon, while the
best Rock Island could do was to chase
around a couple. 1t was simply anoth-
ar case of hitting on one side and fall
ure to hit on the other. Lakaff was in
the box for the Islanders, but he was
easy for the swatters, and Is of them
tell the tale of the eight scores. Lewis
pitched for the Commodores, and while
he showed nothing but speed the hits
were scattered and seven was the best
the Islanders could collect.

Lewee made the first score. Shaub
misjudged a fly and let Murphy on. Lee
wee was given a station on the play to
cut off Murphy at third. Kuhn hit to
left field, advancing the runner to third,
and with one out Swacina hit one down
to McGrail. The shortstop thought
two were out and threw the ball to
first, allowing Lewee to score.
The Islanders tied 1t up in their half

at the close of yesterdays events, was
Moline GA, Rock Island, so, and Dav-

decided, as the two last places in the
hammer throw were not decided yes
terday afternoon owing to a broken
hammer. Rock Island took first in this
event, and the other places were con-
tested by Ehrhorn of Rock Island and
PalmQuist of Moline. The points, how
ever would not materially affect the
standing of the teams.

The Motor Boat of the Future.

Steam yachts are fast becoming a
drug on the market and many million
aires are disposing of theirs at greatly
reduced prices and replacing them
with large motor boats. Experts be-
lieve that before long there will be
gasoline boats afioat at least two hun
dred feet long. Experts in medicine
long ago decided that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters was the leader among
remedies for the stomach, liver and
bowels, and from a standpoint of merit.
reliability and cures was far ahead of
any other medicine. 1t has been this
assurance that persuaded thousands of
sickly people to try the Bitters, with
the result that they have since enjoy
ed better health. Don't take anything
but Hostetter's when you suffer from
bloating. heartburn, poor appetite,
clogged bowels. headache, dyspepsia,
