SUFFERING ENDED.
HI. o. Rolls Sells the Remedy that
Cured Stomach Trouble of
II Years

And best of all he guarantees it
to cure you or money back. Read
this:
'I have been a great sufferer for
IA years, everything I ate gave me
heartburAs. 1 have never been able
to get anything that would give me
any relief until a friend of mine in
sisted on my taking Mi-o-na. Itook
a so cent box and l believe l am en-
tfrely we'll" T. NJ. Bryant, Newman,
Ga, June 5th.
Mi-o-na is not a nostrum; it is
the prescription of a celebrated ply
stefan who is a specialist in stomach
diseases.
One clever woman calls Mi-o-na the
sunshine prescription because it
changed her from a miserable, ner-
vous dyspeptic into a bright, healthy
happy woman in a few weeks.
These little Mona tablets are
surely wonder workers. They abso-
lutely cure indigestion whether acute
or chronic.
They stop belching. gas in stom-
ach, and heaviness, in a few minutes.
Distress after eating vanishes as if
by magic when one or two little Mi
o-na tablets are swallowed.

quarrel took place late
at Twentieth street
a.. avenue which will
be aired in the police court
this afternoon. Harry Smith and
his wife, Minnie, had an encoun-
ter about 1880 in front of Mack
Glynn's saloon on Twentieth street
and Third avenue and it ended up by
the man knocking the woman down
and hitting her in the face with a
brick. Just what caused the trouble
is not known, but both parties were
considerably wrought up over what
ever had taken place. The police
were summoned to the scene and ar

CHANGE BRINGS
A BIC BUSINESS
MI. & K. Secures Lease on Build
ing Vacated by Young q
McCombs.
GENERAL OUTFITTING STORE
VIII Give Company 10000 Feet of
Floor Space-More Room and
New Front.

The M. & K company yesterday
closed a lease with the Fries estate
on the building or Second avenue, re
Gently vacated by Young & McCombs,
and will establish there what is claim
ed will be the largest general OUTFIT
ting store between this city and Chi
cago. The term Of the lease is Il
years. and at its expiration the NJ. &
K will have been in business, continu-
ously in Rock Island 40 years.
The removal of NJ. & K. from the
present quarters will permit the Peo-
pies National bank to expand. For
years it has been cramped for room.
When M. & K. vacate the store room
at the west Of the bank the quarters of
the latter will be extended to embrace
both rooms. giving the institution one
of the largest and most advantageously
located fronts in the three cities.
Architects have already prepared plans
of the proposed remodeling of the bank
quarters.
ReIinquish Their Lease.
Young & McCombs, when they took
possession of their new building. still
had four years to run on their lease of
the Fries building. This they relin-
pushed in order not to hamper the
plans of the NJ. & K The late Peter
Fries erected the building specially for
Young & McCombs when they decided
to enter the department store business
on an enlarged scale.
NJ & K.-or the NJ. & K. company, TO
be literally correct-in preparation for
development. have increased their cap
italization. The company was incor-
porated three years ago to admit into
the business two of the old and faith
full employees. They are Henry Beucus,
manager of the company's store in
Sterling, and Edward Dornwell, who
began as clerk in the local store IS
years ago and has been with the bust
ness ever since. Eli Mosenfelder and
Louis Kohn, as known generally. es-
tablished the business in 1894. With
the present expansion Louis MOsen- |
fielder, long connected with Bear &
Co., is to become a part of the com
pany.
Beginning to Grow.
The NJ & K first located in the |
DuilolnS now occupied by the grocery /
business of H. R. Battles & Co, on
Second avenue between Eighteenth !
and Nineteenth streets. The business /
was opened there February, 1854. At /
ter a year a lease was taken on the /
store room at Second avenue. The di- |
mansions were 20x8O feet. a few years |
later, the business having begun to |
grow rapidly, it was necessary to have |
additional accommodations, and the |
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-11-25

hrm acquired a lease of the room at
the rear and facing on Eighteenth
street. The dimensions of this were
4Ox70.- This tripled the floor capacity.
1t is the expectation of the NJ. & X.
company to continue the rental of the
rear portion of their present quarters
and connect it with their new store.
The Fries building will be remodeled
to meet the requirements of the new
business. The front will be new in its
entirety and of original design.
10000 Feet of Floor Space.
In the new quarters NJ. & K will
have 10000 feet of floor space as
against 1900 square feet now. The
company hopes to be settled in the new
quarters in the early spring. The stock
throughout will be new in its entirety.
Not single article will be carried from
the abandoned store.
The new NJ. & X. will be complete
Quitting store for both men, women
and children-the only concern of it's
kind in the tri-cities. The main room
of the new quarters, the dimensions OF
which are 40x15O, will be devoted to
AA4Oh C4OlnlAlS, luIt4ASi1ll4S3o anu lelNS.
The adjoining room, 20x150, will be
the shoe department; the rear portion
of the old NJ. & K. store will be the
children's clothing department, and.
the company states, the largest of its
kind in the west; the second floor,
60x150, will be for the ladies' ready-to-
wear clothing. including suits, cloaks,
millinery, etc; the third floor will be
for reserved stock, trunks, valises, etc.
Have Made Good, Deserve Success.
Eli Mosenfelder and Louis Kohn, in
the quarter century that they have
been catering as merchants to the peo-
pie of this locality, have won the con-
tidence and respect of all with whom
they came in contact. Both are Rock
Island boys who have succeeded
through their own individual efforts.
From the outset of their careers they
knew the value of laying a sound foun-
dalton of public confidence. That they
have builded we'll and securely cannot
be better illustrated than in a refer
ence to their present plans. The same
may be said of Louis Mosenfelder, who
had his start in the clothing business
with Jonas Bear, the latter having re-
tired when the old Buford block gave
way to the Best building.
The people of Rock Island are proud
of the success these men have made.
They have accomplished it by sticking
to the job. They deserve the rewards
that are coming to them. The Argus
wishes to join with the others in con-
graduating them and hoping that their
new enterprise will be all and more
than they plan it to be.
To Direct Publicity.
A valuable acquisition to the new
business is Simon Mosenfelder in the
capacity Of advertising manager Mr.
went with the NJ. & K.
one week ago. Since the opening of !
Young & McCombs in their new store |
be has been in change of their adver-
Using. He is a young man of ideas and /
energy. He knows the advertising
game, and can be depended upon to !
handle this end of the NJ & K. with /
credit to himself and profit to his en-
ployers.

STARS APPEAR
At CLUB Dinner
Members Regaled With Classy
Vaudeville Program Last
Evening.
EIGHTY ATTEND AFFAIR
Finest Entertainment Ever Presented
Before the OrganizatiOn-To
BE Monthly Feature.

Eighty members attended the
Thanksgiving eve entertainment at
the Rock Island Club home last night
There was a dinner served at $50,
and at its conclusion the program
was offered, President w. A. Rosen-
field of the club officiating as toast
master. He read number of tele-
grams from members whose business
| in other cities prevented their pres
ence and from others who formerly
were members but who have moved
to other parts of the country. Some
of the guests suspected that all of
the kilograms were not legitimate
and there were grounds for their
doubts, for the strains of the we'll
known originality of the toastmaster
cropped out in the reading Of the
messages.
Galaxy of Stars.
The set entertainment was contri-
buted by William Collins and Abe
Rosenfield, Chicago; George Buhr,
Cincinnati; VIII and Rob Trimble
and Sandy Baxter, Rock Island. Mr.
Collins and Mr.. Buhr shared the
starring" honors of the evening, the
former shining with his stories and
monologues and the latter with his
vocalization. Mr.. Collins is some
singer himself, and gave several cIev-
erly interpreted topical numbers But
where Collins stars especially is in
his stories. He is a professional,
though he is an entertainer as a side
line only, his regular business being
with one of the large music houses
of Chicago. 1t was his first appear
ance in Rock Island, though his rep
utation had preceded him here. Mr.. /
Collins, aside from his natural tai
ents, has a fine presence, and his wit
is of the bubbling and brilliant brand
once he rises before an audience. His |
work is one of the highest order, and .
never does he permit himself to Dor
der on the suggestive either in his
singing or story telling, a fault too .
often found in men of his talents. /
He was distinct hit, and won a home !
for himself with the club members. /
''The Candy Kid"
Mr.. Buhr is not a professional I.
either. He is a candy manufacturer in !
Rock Isl, nd is his selling
territory. He is known socially here.
and he sings and plays because he (
likes it. He has a cultivated voice of

1t has been raining for some time
and it is raining now. and it looks like
it will never quit.
There is near beer bar just outside
the gate and yesterday evening a sold
Ter got into eight out there and got
his leg broken in two places. Two
men were arrested and put in the
guard house and about six clock the
officer of the guard went ont patroling
and there had been an order issued
against soldier going to this place.
They caught a mounted orderly at
this bar and he saw them and started
to run and the sentry that was with
the officer of the guard hOllered "halt"
but he did not halt And he hollered
halt three times, and still he did
not halt. Then the officer told him TO
shoot, and he shot, and when the gun
fired down came the man. They start
ed to the hospital with him but he
died before they got there. The SEN
try is blamed but he won't be both
cred for he was doing what he was
told to do, but most of the men blame
him for shooting to hit. 1t was his
third guard and he thought he had to
do what he was told to do He was
obeying orders, but the man that was
killed was disobeying orders, for every
man in the nth heard the orders
rea2 against soldier going to that
bar but they have this near beer in the
canteen inside the government bounds,
and he could have gone to the canteen
and got what he wanted to drink, and
there would not have been anything
said as long rs he did not get drunk.
This same man was arrested down
town and was bound over to court the
day before yesterday with thousand
dollar bond. The boy that did the
shooting is from Kentucky and is a
fine boy. His name is Calver. He is
in "J' company. The unfortunate
man was some mothers boy but his
parents taught him to drink beer and
that caused his death.
There were four men put in the
guard house yesterday for being drunk
on near beer, and it is very plain that
this near beer is strong drink.
The 18th Infantry hiked out II miles

Happy Combination at the Tennessee

Tennessee's great State Fair, and many
are the lessons to be learned at this
combination of the exhibition and the
institute to be held September 20 to 25.
Live stock, agriculture, woman's
work, poultry, children's department,
manufacturers displsys-all combine to
form a practical educational institution
of the very highest rank.
Subservient to these educational fea-
lures are the amusements, but these
