GIFTS?

Again the public is to be pitied.
The souvenir season with the So
called bargain shops is upon us.
Now, what do these advertis-
ing shrieks mean? 1t is unkind
for US to tell you, but out of this
mass of screams one note arises
clear and strong-they are offer
ing thousands of dollars worth
of merchandise at a loss in many
instances, and include with every
purchase everything from an
alarm clock to an automobile as
a souvenir. .........
When premiums of various
sorts and values are offered Gus
toners as an inducement to buy,
it is not through any motive IF
of philanthropy on the part of
the dealer that prompts him to
give you portion of his profits.
Your gift is figured in the cost
reckoning" for, just such an
amount as he pays for the pre-
MUM given you is recovered by
!, Just that much decrease in the
quality of the article sold you.
Were the claims of these So
J called bargain shops true, the
sheriffs of this county would be
largely engaged in the retail bus
mess temporarily.
The futiIity and absurdity of
this sort of business method
should appeal to thoughtful peo-
pie to such an extent that it
( would cease entirely.
} We, in common with other self.
respecting truth-teIling advertis-
, ers, believe that the best Gift
any man can give to his patrons
2 is an excess of honest value at
5 the lowest consistent profit.
( You oppose inferior quality.
5 Your physician combats foul con-
( ditions in shops and factories.
, Your lawyer guides you away
( from the eddes of litigation and
z along the smooth waters. Why
5 should we not smote bad prac-
Z tees at hip and thigh?
3 Our sphere is jewelry, and its
( allied lines. We operate under
Q the lowest expenses of any house
( of its kind in the city. The store
. is unique, uncommon, singular
& the only one of its kind; there.
2 fore without equal.
5 Alas! Worldly wisdom, like
2 good seamanship, can best be &C.

bECAMEDEMENTED
Rock Island Engineer Tried to
End His Life on the Street
in Davenport.
BUTTED HEAD AGAINST Wal [
While Walking With Wife, Suddenly
Runs Away and Attempts Sui
eide, But Is Restrained.

Edward Heffernan, Rock Island en-
Sineer, who has for some time been
cunning out of Silyis, made desperate
but futile attempt to commit suicide
IN Davenport this morning while de-
mented. Mr.. Heffernan was walking
with his wife, when he suddenly ran
away from her, darted through an alley
ma began butting his head against Il
stone wall. Unable to accomplish Ills
purpose i'll this manner, he ran to the
corner, and STOPPING down, began
pounding his head against the iron bolt
u hydrant. He was restrained by
passersby, and held until the arrival of
the police, who removed him to Mercy
hospital
Sick For Some Weeks.
Mr.. Heffernan had been i'll for about
TWO weeks, suffering from what ap-
peared to be nervous breakdown. He
had been in the care of a Moline physi.
cian Yesterday he was taken to Dav.
export to the home of a brother-in-law
c. j. Rocholl, 1929 Harrison street. his
condition is believed to have resulted
from worry over an examination which
all engineers of the Rock Island will
soon take. Mr.. Heffernan has sister
in this city. He had been making his
home in Moline.

ALL WILL Be new
Equipment Of the Elm Street
Line of Tri-City Company
to be Complete.
NO DELAY FOR TRACK WORK
Cars of the Latest Variety to Be Plac
ed on This Branch immedi-
ately.

General Manager ]. f. Lardner If
the Tri-city Railway company is au-
thority for the statement that the
equipment of the Elm street line with
the new pattern of cars with which
the Long View line on this side and
couple Of lines i'll Davenport are sup
piled is not to be deferred until the
| relaying of the Elm street branch is
completed. Mr.. Lardner informs The
Argus that the new cars are to be put
Oh the Elm street line at once, as fast
as they can bu turned out of the shops,
| and that will be in a very few days.
Several of these cars are already in
operation ON the line, and the entire
| line will be equipped at once.
BY exercising a little caution on the
rough places not yet relaid, Mr. Lard
ner thinks the new cars may be as
| well used now as any time. The
cars are built for the patrons of the
Elm street line said Mr. Lardner.
They deserve the improved equip
ment and they are going to get t
right away. 1t will be but compare
| lively short time until the line is en-
| tirely rebuilt. but we are not going to
4, delay comforts to passengers until the
| physical condition of the road is per
manently improved. The track forces
are working as rapidly as they can but
| there is much grading necessary. In
the meantime, the street car public
| will get the best we have in equil
| ment. at any rate. There Will be
enough of the new cars to equip the
Elm street and Long View lines com
plete. with two extras to spare, sc
that there will be no occasion fOr
lbreaking up the style of equipment
on those two lines, or mixing i'll any
makeshifts or old cars"
Brake Controllers Changed.
The new cars to appear OF
the Elm street line, and to be fol
lowed rapidly by the others as fast
as the finishing touches can be pI'
upon them, are provided with the OLE
fashioned ratchet brass handled brake
controller. 1t is believed it will prove
much more easy to handle and NOR,
effective than the man-killing peacock
variety that was originally placed o.
the new cars, and is certainly les:
cumbersome. 1t too is vast improve
ment over the hog train wheel whic!
was adopted on the vestibule car
when the brass crank was discarde'
some years ago. The cast iron wheo
is not only a cheap. unsightly affair
but a space consumer and an awlkwar;
continuance i'll every way that OuSh
to be slowed away with its designer
Power Plant to Stay.
Manager Lardner also informs TIL
Argus that a great misapprehcnsiol
exists as to the company's intention
, relative to the Twenty-third stree
power plant. The company has no in
tention of abandoning the station. for
mer announcements to the contrar
notwithstanding, Mr. Lardner declares
1t has been equipped with new boiler
of the latest improved type and othe
. machinery which makes it one of III
= most up to date power plants in tn
country. 100000 having been eXpen'
ed on this plant alone in the las
year. 1t will be supplied with reserv
ipower when completed to meet an
Emergency that may arise.

Reno, New, Aug. 17.-"All of the

mine If could get control of them"
said Edward H. Hartman to a report

interview, during which he discussed
his work and his ambitions.
What is your policy concerning the
management of the railroads that we
are told you OWN"
st is to pay dividends" came the
decisive answer.
Since 1898 we have spent $500, 000,-
900 for improvements. We want some
returns. Don't you think we are en-
titled to returns from such an expend-
iture? Mine, then, is a financial poll

BRITISH INVADE VENEZUELA.
Force Under Capt. Calder Seizes Guam
tity Of Balata.

tity Of BaIata.
Georgetown, British Guiana, Aug.
19.-Much excitement has been caused
here by the invasion Of Venezuelan
territory by Capt. Calder, in command
of a small frontier force from British
Guiana, and by the seizure OF a guam
tity of balata (the gum of the bullet
tree, used for insulating wires, etc.,
which 1t is alleged has been collected
on British territory.
Capt. Calder's force went down the
Barima river and crossed the boun-
Diary into Venezuelan territory, where
Capt. Calder, at the point of a revolv-
er, demanded that the Venezuelan
commissioner give up the gum. He has
made a protest, however, to President
Castro and the British consul here
against the seizure Of the balata and
the invasion of Venezuelan territory.
Fears are entertained Of retaliation
at Morawhanna, British frontier head
quarters. There has been trouble over
the balata trade for some time, and
British officials have made vigorous
attempts to prevent Illicit trading in
the gum.
London, Aug. 19.-The colonial Of
flee has received no information con-
corning the invasion CT Venezuelan
territory by Capt. Calder.
