With Electric Lights.
A car containing electrical appli-
ances, q carload OF insulated copper
and other wire, men with them, ar
rived in town the other day, and work
was commenced Wednesday for the
wiring OF the Rock Island works for
electric lights. The master mechan-
les Office, and the Depot hotel were
the first jobs undertaken. The whole
system her will be wired and switch
and yard are lights provided.
The Rock Island has made prOvi-
sion for the installation OF q big dy-
namo to furnish current for their
works. but it IS reported that the
GOdland Light & Power company will
furnish the electric current for the
railroad At any rate, the substitu-
ton OF electricity for the dim and IN
satisfactory oil lights IS commendable,
and the Rock Island works will very
soon in the futre have a different ep-
pearance at night when all the lights
are turned on.

GOodIand Continues 70 Take an the
Games Thus Far.
GOodland 10, Selden 2
GOodland 4, Kanorado 2


These practice games are great to
get the boys In condition 10 tackle
bigger game and until they can put
and Selden. they. better fight shy OF
the prof teams.
Selden was the attraction Sunday,
and they looked ike a bunch Of slug
gers but nothing doing again Stats
and Skinny. Both had them buffa-
lOed, and two lone beans is all they
could squeeze out It was rather an
uninteresting game as the visitors
were outclassed all around, and the
Selden pitcher was batted all over the
lot and was finally relieved by the
captain Of the team who was some
what more elective.
Lawrence 7. IT. for Terry) Mccoy
ern, the official scOre-kesper, was IN
avOidably detained, hence q full box
score Of the game IS not available.
Tuesday the Kanorado team was
again on deck, and as usual they held
the home team down pretty close, and
but for the extreme Tildness Of the
pitcher the score would have been diff
ferent. He walked seven men. which,
with a couple singles, brought in the
tallies. Germann played second base,
for another 90 at the GOOdland team q
little later on. KemptOn pitched q
nice game, and has the happy faculty
Of being in good humor all the time.
However, Il IS just such games as
these that gives one a line on the
home talent, and a word Of criticism
never harms, and often is q boost, and
a CHEEKY word sometimes is encOur-
agement at just the right time

bad, DAMP WEATHER
Causes Much Rheumatism Here and
Many Are Now Suffering From
Dread and Painful Disease.

Thousands Of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture Of this
dread disease, which is no respecter
of age, persons, \sex, color or rank, will
be interested 10 know that while for
many years rheumatism was consid-
cred an incurable disease, now Il is
one of the easiest afFlictions of the hu-
man body to conquer. Medical science
has proven II not a distinct disease in
itself, but a symptom caused by mae
tive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid
In the blood and other waste products
of the system which should be filtered
and strained out In the form Of urine.
The function of the Kidneys is to sift
these poisons and acids out and keep
the blood clean and pure. The Kidneys,
however, are of sponge.like substance,
the holes or pores of which will some.
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged and inactive
and failing in their function of elimin.
ating these poisons from the blood
they remain in the veins, decompose
and settling about the joints and mus
cles, cause the untold suffering and
pain of rheumatism and backache, oft.
en- producing complications OF bladder
and urinary disease, weakness, etc.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases of
rheumatism because of its direct
action upon the blood and kidneys,
relieving too, the most severe forms
Of bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract iDandelion, one.half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
found Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The ingre.
dients can be had from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolute
ly harmless and safe TO use at any
time.

CARRYING MILK
Railroads May Charge Moro Since
Advance In Price.

Advance In Price.
Railroads and trolley :. lines may
charge more for carrying milk fol-
lowing the recent increase In retail
milk prices.
II is learned that such a move is
being contemplated In this vicinity
the same as In Chicago. Meetings
will be held In the near future for
the purpose OF considering formally
change In the milk tariff.
The Erie. Pennsylvania, b. a o.,
and Wheeling q Lake Erie haul a
vast amount OF milk daily. The
Lake Shore hauis very little because
of the competition OF trolley lines,
The electric roads charge 2 cents a
gallon and the steam roads a cent
and half. The former are given
the preference where possible because
OF the greater convenience.
II the action now contemplated goes
into effect much of the increase in
profit now being enjoyed by the milk
dealers win creep into the, hands OF
the carriers. II has been figured for
some time that the charge for trans
porting this commodity Is too small,
that the big dairy companies have
been rather unappreeiatiye.
"oficials OF the roads, said
railroader. believe that in many
cases the increases in retail price of
milk have been altogether unneces-
sary. and for that reason they have
thought IL fair they should have
proportionate share in the increased
revenue. The plan now under way
is to advance the rates on milk the
same per cent that the retail milk
prices are."-cievsland Plain Dealer.

tion on the part of Martin w. Little

trict Attorney Jerome said II hadn't
occurred TO him that II the trial start

ors would have TO sit through the
Christmas holidays. This would make
II very hard to get a Jury and also
would mean n great hardship on the

request at the second trial, the same
that he made at the first. that the
Jury be locked up. Mr.. Jerome said
he was prepared 10 go anead and 1t

fence. but he thought the trial ought
to go over the Christmas HOLIDAYS.
