SPARES NO EFFORT.
President Rosenfield Working
Hard for q Big Time at
Pennant Raising.
MAKE IT MARKER FOR CITY
Business Houses VIII Be Asked to
Close at O'clock as Mark
of Patriotism.

President Rosenfield of the Rock
Island Baseball association is sparing
no pains to make the pennant raising
May II, when the champs come back
from the southern trip and open a
home series with Cedar Rapids, the
greatest affair in the baseball history
OF the city. He is seeking to have the
business houses agree upon general
closing at 2 o'clock as mark of pa
triotism and to enable all who wish
20 attend the game. Some good local
orator will deliver short address
pole, which will be located near the
club house, with glad acclaim in which
a band will join.
1t is planned to have the days pro-
gram begin an hour before the game
is scheduled to start, or at $50. OF
course the crowd will be allowed on
the grounds during the ceremonies.
Invitations have been sent to a
number of notable figures in baseball,
among them being President Comis-
key of the Chicago White Sox, Presi-
dent Tom Lotus of the Three-Eye.
and former President Ed Holland of
Bloomington. These three at least
are counted upon to be present as
guests of honor.
LOTUS Accepts.
President sRosenfield this afternoon
received an acceptance from Presi;
dent Lotus in which the latter wrote
he would be glad to avail himself OF
The opportunity to visit Rock Island
the 18th.
Don't See the Distinction.
There seems to exist misunder
standing. even among the sporting
writer's of the circuit in regard to the
difference between champion team
and a pennant winning team Oh
course champions may also win pen
nants but it does not necessarily fol
low. The Islanders of 1907 were pen
nant winners but the title they earned
as champions is conferred upon the
Islanders of 1908 to be kept till the
honors are again decided at the enc
of the season.

SHOOT FROM LAUNCH; FINED
Local Hunters Who Violated Law
Were More Fortunate.

Numerous hunters who not far
from Rock Island this spring hunted
ducks in gasoline launches were more
fortunate than Morris Butler of Ha-
vana and Morris Ellis of Peoria, who
were arrested and fined recently, be-
ing prosecuted by deputy game war
dens: 1t cost Butler $50 and Ellis
SIS to cut up such capers. Harry
Borg of Geneva was fined $45 for
killing three rails. These are only
three of a score or more who have
been fined recently for infractions of
some of the provisions of the game
law.

Don't Wait for the Fatal
Stages of Kidney illness.
Profit by Wa Keeney Peo-
pies Experiences

Occasional attacks of backache,
irregular urination, headaches
and dizzy spells are common
early symptoms of kidney dis
orders. It's an error to neglect
these ills. The attacks may pass
off for time but return with
greater intensity. If there are
symptoms of dropsy = puffy
swelling below the eyes, bloating
of limbs and ankles, or any part
of the body, don't delay a min
ute. Begin taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills, and keep up the treat
ment until the kidneys are well
when your old time health and
vigor will return. Cures in Wa
Keeney prove the effectiveness
of this great kidney remedy.
w. F. Stranhan, of Wa-Keeney :,
. Kan, says: For over year
1 had constant backache and
sharp pains would shoot through
my kidneys when 1 would stoop
or lift. During the night the
action of the kidney secretions
was entirely too frequent and
there was often burning sensa-
ton in the passages. Doan's

Dear Sir: Would yon rather
have your customers speak of
your shoes as wearing well, as
not running down at the heel, as
turning water, and taking a
shine; or wag their heads and
say nothing?
We'd rather have ours, at long
intervals, says: I'VE want some
more paint, and we want Devoe +"
We know it ism t in human nature
to paint very often; we don't ex-
pect them to come very often;
don't want 'em to. All we want
is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint it;
the longer the time, the surer
they are to come back. There's
business enough in the world;
there are houses enough 20 paint;
let 'em take their time.
