the present the ministry has not been

Martial law prevails and order has

the Selimieh artillery barracks IN

General Schefket ordered up 90 big
guns and several batteries OF machine
guns to positions which commanded
the barracks, and the cruiser Mediiieh
steamed out of range of the field
pieces and prepared for action. The
commander of the barracks then sub
mitted.
Following yesterdays terrific lighting
the city took on an aspect OF strange
quiet toward evening There was some
fear that there would be further light

scattering shots there was nothing to

troops were reinforced. however. IN the
fear that the Yildiz garrison would
remain loyal and continue the struggle.
Detachments Surrendered
Fortunately the officers saw the hope

no opposition when various command
ers laid down their swords and gave
over their detachments from the
strongly entrenched enemy. The pro-
claiming Of martial law was withdrawn
by a circular note which was sent to
the foreign ambassadors. 1t read:

Smiles Changed to Tears
Ultimately he picked the widow. The
marriage date was set and Mrs. Kohl
busted herself with a gorgeous tros-

The widow was in smiles and sunny
raiment Dougherty was lacking-most
emphatically not on the spot. The
smiles changed to tears. and finally to
nervous prostration.
Why was it so?
Two weeks prior to the wedding Mrs.
Kohl, having been told that Dougherty
was marrying her for her money, casu-

the company THE Slow Poke" will
be the introductory bill. There will
be matinees Wednesdays, Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays. As has been
heretofore stated, the Inauguration of
the new policy is due to the inability
of the Chamberlin, Kindt & Co, les
sees of the Illinois and other theaters,
to secure the attractions controlled by
Klaw & Erlanger, the so-called theatri-
cal trust, with whom they have broken
off booking relations after having been
with them for many years. The Shu-
berts attractions. however, are play

houses. The Webster City Qowa)
Freeman-Tribune contains the follow
ing:
''Mr Morgan has always been IA
vorite with Webster City theateTgoers
and his Interpretation of the initial
role last night only added new laurels
to his local reputation as one of the
ablest thespians seen here in a stock
company. The play is built around
the character OF The Cry Baby and
cleverness and refinement put into the
part by Mr.. Morgan certainly made a
hit with the large audience. Unlike
most actors, Mr. Morgan does not try
to portray hundred and one different
characters, but confines himself TO
those for which his peculiar style is
best adapted, which is a western char
acter, and he is very true to life in
even the slightest detail in his part.
The supporting company with Mr..
Morgan this season proved TO be fully
as good as the one that was with him
last year and the audience was not
slow in showing their appreciation IF
the manner in which the beautiful lit
tie play, The Cry Baby, was present
ed Applause was frequent and spon-
taneous. The scenery and stage set
tings would have done credit to one
of the high priced one night companies
and the specialties during the inter
mission between acts were above the
average"

Which Are Given to Prove That
His Treatment Cures to Stay

Proof.

This is being demonstrated by the
rush at DR.. Bartz's offices in the Peo-
pies National bank building, rooms
400, 401 and 402 Fourth door). AS
early as o'clock every morning you
will find his comfortable reception
room crowded with patients who are
taking advantage of his free treat
ment until cured. This liberal offer
has been extended by special request
to all who call before Nov. 80. 1t
is astonishing at the number of out
of-town people taking advantage of
the doctors offer, nearly every town
within a radius of so miles is rep
resented, yes, patients as far away as
Peoria are coming to see him, all due
to the marvellous work that is being
accomplished. A treatment is in
deed wonderful that can show its
power over pain and weakness in
less than 10 minutes time.
An ounce of proof is worth a ton
of assertion, hence read the follow
ing recommendation received by Dr.
Bartz, which are on file at his office:
Mr.. J. A. Pace. 1927 Twelfth
street, Rock Island. says: For
two long years 1 have been trou-
bled with nervous exhaustion, my
nights were restless, my stomach
weak, my back painful, in fact, I
felt all worn out physically. For
the past two years l paid out
nearly every cent earned to doc
tors and drug stores without re-
suits, so finally l sought DR..
Bartz's services. He treated me
with electricity in a manner that
was painless and with the result
that, after a short course, / feel
fine and can sleep like a child.
The treatments are certainly won
derful."
Mr.. Andrew Koxvik, residing
at SIS, Ninteenth avenue, Moline.
says; For about six months l
had trouble in my chest. / cough
ed and suffered a lot Of pains.
Nights | was restless, in fact, l
felt as though l was going down
hill very rapidly. / tried differ
ent treatments but everything l
tried was a failure. Finally 1
just decided to go and see DIR.
Bartz. 1 am glad l did so, for
after taking about a four weeks
course 1 feel like a new man, the
cough is practically all gone and
l feel strong and robust whereas
formerly 1 felt like a weakling."
Alfonso De Paepe. 221O Third ave
nue., Moline. says: For about three
years l suffered with pains in the
bottom of my feet At times 1
thought l would have to get them
cut off to get relief. So after trying
metal insteps and medicines, which
did not help it any, decided to try
a course of electrical treatments as
advertised by DR.. Bartz, and l am
glad to be able to say that his
treatment did the work was look
