NEW YORK, December N.-The COM
mon stock of the Rock Island Company
sold up to $50 share within FIVE min
utes of the opening of the stock exchange
this morning after closing OF 1917 last
Friday. The high figure was reached on
sales of about 10000 shares.
The character of the opening ,ealings

character as to suggest a corner in the
stock. The tone of the whole market
after opening firm was changed by the
Rock Island developments and became re,

Starts at sos for 600 Shares.
The first sale of Rock Island was of
600 shares at sos. compared with 49A
Friday. The price Immediately advanced
by jumps Of I, and points between
sales until it touched 81. A sudden re-
lapse to 81 then occurred. The individual
blocks transferred ran as high as 1000
shares.

Rock Island collateral Is broke from 80

A Socialist Harranguc.

The Socia'stic theories of j. L. Fits,
socialistic orator as dropped from a
soap box and two suit cases on Second
South street yesterday afternoon. fell
on barren ground. at least so far IA
Pahon,an Simpson was concerned. The
3benefcent theories were all lost on OH
Ger Simpson, and all he could see was
that Fits was obstructing the street
and the officer did his sworn duty with
the result that Fits and his theories
landed in Jail. Friends OF the theories,
however, detied the minions OF the law
by freeing Fits who with his theories
was valued by the bail commissioner
at s25. This morning Attorney F. b.
Scott asked the court for information.
He wanted to know under what section
of the ordinances his client, Mr.. Fits,
was held, and when told section 706,
chapter 81, he was content 10 enter a
plea of not guilty. The best Mr.. Rp-
gers, assistant city attorney, could do
in the way OF convenience of hearing
was Sept. 10, and although Mr.. Fits,
as announced by his court representa-
tive. has speaking dates in other cities
he will stick around until the 10th. just
to show that he can get up on a soar
box impress the proletariat with two
suit cases and talk until the street he
comes obstructed..

Make It Yourself.

There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice will be highly appre-
ciated by those, who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these we'll in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture,
and in most cases a permanent cure
is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filthers and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous 9TH
er diseases. Every man or women
here who feels that their kidneys are
not healthy and active, or who SUI
fers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, aud may save you from
much misery and suffering after a
while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

Various Causes For the Different Tints
Of the Water.
Sky and cloud colors are often re-
fected in the sea, but just as the air
has it's sunset glory SO water has its
changing tints quite apart from mere
reflection.
Olive and brown lines in the waves
of the coast come from the muddy
sediment washed from the shore, as
blues arise chiefly from reflected sky.
But there are many other colors in the
ocean. On almost every long voyage
at sea spots of reddish brown color
are noticed at one time or another.
When a few drops Of the discolored
water are examined under a micro
scope myriads of minute cylinder shap-
ed algae are seen, some separate, some
Joined together In scores. 1t is this

TORTOISE SHELL.
Ths, Way the Plates Are Removed
From the Animal.

Thu, Way the Plates Are Removed
IN From the Animal.
The comb Of tortoise shell has q
very pale and translucent yellow, the
only really valuable kind Of shel.
assMany people think this pale, un-
notified shell the cheaper kind" the
dealer said. "Do you know why? Be-
cause the limitations are all made like
this.
saThat is one vulgar error about
shell. Another Is that the tortoise is
killed to get its shell casing. That Is
as absurd an error as it would be to
say a sheep was killed to get its wool.
what is done is this: The fisher
men, having caught a tortoise, tie him
and then cover his back with dry grass
and leaves. They set fire to this stuff,
it burns slowly, and the heat causes
the thirteen plates Of the shell tt
loosen at the Joints. With a knife the
plates are pried of, and afterward the
tortoise is set free. The base, or root
Of his shell is intact and will grow
again. If tortoises were killed to &c,
their shell they would long since have
become extinct. 4
"No, no. Every tortoise is, as !
were, a farm-a shell farm. Fishermen
catch him regularly and with heat ant
a knife gently remove his SHELF
