'When Miss Christine Scransen, a
popular and pretty school teacher of

Roy Porterfeld, her sweetheart, in
which she apologized for her conduct
at dance the night previous. little
did she realize that her missive would
be intercepted by rival who would
steal it from box, but such was the
case, and Chas. Ferguson, wealthy
young farmer of the same place has
confessed to the crime. He did so
when he pleaded guilty to a charge of
rifling the U. S. mail that the letter
was there, and he went to the mail box
and stole it, He did this because he
said he wanted to keep Porterfield in
hot water as long as he could.

Actual Starvation.
The T. II. Thomas Drug Co. Gives
Facts Regarding Dyspepsia.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent. most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause
and cure. There is no reason why
people should not eat anything they
desire-if they will only chew it care
fully and thoroughly. Many actually
starve themselves into sickness
through fear of eating every good
looking, good smelling and good
tasting food, because it does not
agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If
disagrees with us, before long we
have nothing left, and find ourselves
chronic dyspeptics.
We can cure dyspepsia. We are
so confident of this fact that we guar
antee cure and promise to supply
the medicine free of all cost to ev-
eryone who will use it, who is not
perfectly satisfied with the results
| which it produces. We exact no
promises, and put no one under any
obligations whatever. Surely, moth
ing could be fairer. We are located
right here in Rock Island and our
reputation should be sufficient assur-
| ance of the genuineness of our offer.
We want everyone in Rock Island
who is troubled with Indigestion or
dyspepsia in any form to come to
our store and get box of Rexall
| Dyspepsia tablets. Take them home
and give them a reasonable trial, &C
| cording to directions. They are very
| pleasant to take: they soothe the
irritable stomach, strengthen and in
Ivigorate the digestive organs, pro-
mote healthy and natural bowel ac-
ton, Immediately relieve nausea and
all stomach irritation, produce per-
feet and healthy digestion and as
Stimulation and promote nutrition.
| A Csc package of Rexall Dyspepsia
| tablets furnishes Is days treatment
In ordinary cases, this is sufficient
to produce a cure. In more chronic
cases, longer treatment, of course
is necessary, and depends upon the
severity of the trouble. For sucf
cases, we have two larger sizes which
sell for 45c and soc. T. H. Thoma:

They had been talking of tornadoes,

generally. Each succeeding story had
been more remarkable than its prede-
cessors, but Amos James, acknowledge
cd head of the town story tellers, had
remained silent and attentive. With
one accord all heads were at last turn
ed in his direction.

ately at last. rising as IL to go and half
yawning as he spoke-"speaking of
winds. there was a mighty powerful
one along in the middle Of the night
last summer when my wife and were

and we heard things rushing by in the
