in lime of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had a striking example
of the necessity for preparation and
the early advantage of those who, so
to speak. 'have shingled their roofs in
dry weather" The virtue of prepare
ton has made history and given to us
our greatest men. The individual as
well as the nation should be prepared
for any emergency. Are you prepared
to successfully combat the first cold
you take? A cold can be cured much
more quickly when treated as soon as
it has been contracted and before it
has become settled in the system.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is ia
nous for its cures of colds and it
should be kept at hand ready for in
slant use. For sale by all leading

ACCOUNTS
Of Accident in Davenport Pro-
vided for Eastern Papers
by Correspondents.
WERE FAR FROM THE TRUTH
Boston Papers Informed That Edward
Littig Was Trampied to Death.
by Rock Island Mob.

Prompted by prejudice, and appar-
whatever, the Davenport correspond
entS of the eastern papers, and particu-
larly of the Boston newspapers. have
seen fit to provide the most untruthful
accounts possible of the very unfortu-
nate accident in Davenport following
the Rock Island-Davenport football
game which resulted in the death of
Edward Littig. One not familiar with
the circumstances might Judge from
the account sent to the eastern papers
by the Davenport correspondents that
this part of the United States was in
habited by barbarians, thugs, and the
worst class of criminals.
Twisting of Facts.
The Davenport representatives of the
papers state that Littig, while return
ing from the game in his carriage was
set upon by a mob of Rock Island
''thugs''-that word is used-and drag
ged to the street and trampled TO death.
A statement farther from the truth is
hard to imagine, and it would be
strange indeed for the citizens of DAY.
export to allow such riot as is pictur
ed to take place in their own city.
Facts known Here.
1t is not necessary to go into the de-
tailed account of the accident, for ev-
cry one in the three cities is familiar
with the circumstances and realizes
that the case was a purely accidental
one, and that the two Rock Island men
in whose buggy wheels Littig was
caught were not to blame for the af
fair But there is ample ground for
indignation over the treatment given
the Rock Island side of the case-and.
in fact. the people of Davenport have
taken the same fair view of the matter
that Rock Island people have-by the
correspondents.

strange that The Umpire, the new
musical comedy seen at the Willis

vogue in Chicago. where it was born
and raised. The Umpire has lots of
baseball talk, baseball slang and a
baseball umpire who has had to flee
the country because a pair of blue
eyes in the grandstand caused him to
make rank decision in q champion
ship game. Chicago being baseball
mad, responds whenever anybody calls

amendment to the franchise ordinance
TO permit the Tri-City Railway CONF
pany to use the new Shanghai Trails

the company, was present. and explain
ed both propositions to the aldermen.
He declared that a revision of the
transfer system is impossible, as Mo
line insists that the Moline, East Mo-
line & WATERFOWL line be kept distinct
and no through cars be run from East

stated. however, that if plans now be-

Mr.. Lardner declared that the pro-
posed Shanghai rail is an Improvement
over the present system, and that it is
because the paving between the track
can be better maintained where this
rail is used that the company seeks t.
secure permission to use it. He said
that the cost of the material for this
style of track is a little higher than
for the old, and the cost of installing
the rail is more than double that of the
girder rails.
Action Neither.
An amendment specifically reserving
the righCs of the city was offered by
Alderman Anderson. and the ordinance
was finally laid over to later meeting
to allow the aldermen to make more
careful investigation of the rails. The
resolution regarding transfers, was on
motion referred to a meeting of the
committee of the whole.
During the meeting Alderman Ben

adopted. instructing Mayor McCaskrin
