Lincoln: They had been without pay
and were then at Atlanta: they were
to go to Marietta, Ca. and t.. ere re-
ceive their pay and be allowed to vote.
The night before Mr.. Collins worked
company with two others, one of
whom was Jim Wilson," they rode on,
on reaching Marietta were too tired
to hunt up the polls, so did not vote,
but we think he is entitled to a

1t was discovered late last night that
the young man came to Burlington on

Monday morning. He h,iuired of Of

the stranger was Mulnix Other of

not be so very mysterious after all,
and that there will be no gruesome

There is no necessity to suffer the
humiliation, lagrin and discomfort of
bad breath, biliousness. sour stomach,
gastritis, sluggish Yer, etc, when a
little lozenger of charcoal will cleanse
the stomach and make it pure and
sweet.
Do not drug yourself when simple
little natural charcoal made from fra
grant willow branches, sweetened with
honey, will add tone to your stomach,
liver and intcstines, rapidly absorb
gases and stop foul doors of all kinds.
Charcoal will absorb one hundred
times it's own volume in gas. A box
full of charcoal placed in bed room
will keep the air of such a room pure
and sweet.
A little chacoal lozenge dissolved on
the tongue after meals will also keep
the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal
is Justly called the scrubbing brush
for the stomach. The old monks of
medieval times cured bad cases of
stomach trouble, cast out devils from
the system of man by feeding such
man charcoal.
Scientific men of today believe i,
the great strength Of charcoal for the
cure of human ills. Too much cf It

Not at Fort Madison.

Chief of Police Kennedy, of Fort
Madison, who seems to have given the
case prompt and most careful atten-
a query from the Hawk-Eye: 1--WE
have not the slightest idea what be-
came of the man. There is absolutely
no trace of him. The last man to see
him was the baggageman at the depot,
where a young man answering the de-
scription had a trunk re checked to
Burlington. The trunk came in over
the Santa Fe. He noticed nothing I'M
usual about the man. l have tele-
gram from the missing mans father
at Potwin, Kan He describes the lad
as twenty-six years of age, six foot
higth, smooth shaven and rather full
of face We have searched the town
over, but have no clew.'
The baggageman at Fort Madison
was right. The trunk was shipped hers
and arrived here Sunday night. 1t is
now at the baggage room at the Union
depot 1t is an old trunk, tied up with
a rope and has evidently seen consid
cradle use. The check number is $50,
545, and on the trunk are the young
mans initials, "W Fl. NJ" also the
numbers $50 and the word Iowa"
The fact that the trunk remains al
the Union depot does not prove thai
the missing man did not come to Bur
lington. 1t is by no means Impossible
that he did come here Sunday night

Was Going to Burlington to Work
in Drug Store But Can
not Be Found in That
Place.
WHERE CAN HE Be?
Rather Mysterious Case Turns
Up When w. H. Mulnix
Fails to Arrive at His
Destination.

Burlington has another missing man
case according to this mornings
Hawk-Eye which has the following to
say of the search being made for the
missing fellow:
Another mysterious disappearance is
puzzling people in Burlington, Fort
Madison and Potwin Kan. w. H.
Mulnix. young druggist, of Potwin,
Kan, left his home last Saturday, on
his way to Burlington, where he was
to enter the employ of Mr.. w. O..
Kaiser, the druggist. He promised to
be here on February l, but as he did
not appear on time, Mr. Kaiser arrived
at the conclusion that his young assist
ant might have been delayed by the
blizzard, and gave no farther thought
to the matter until yesterday, when
he became anxious. He telegraphed
the young mans father at Potwin,
Kan. and received reply that the son
had started for Burlington on the
Santa Fe last Saturday. Mr.. Kaiser
then rang up the chief of police at
Fort Madison and urged him to get
ed at once. found the conductor of the
Santa Fe train, who recalled the pas
senger and was positive that he left
the train at Fort Madison Sunday
morning. And in the neighboring city
the young man has dropped out of
sight To late hour last evening,
nothing farther had been learned of
his whereabouts. Mr. Kaiser again
heard from the father, who thought
the son busy at mis- new duties here.
w. II. Mulnix is twenty-six years of
age, single, man of good. steady hab-
its. and the people interested in him
ire absolutely at a loss to account for
his disappearance. Even if he had
taken wrong train at Fort Madison
which is by no means likely to be the
case, he would surely long since have
discovered his mistake and arrived al
his point of destination, or he would
have notified his home and his new
employer.

I. p. Lusk on River Work.


Isaac P. Lusk, general manager Of
the Diamond 10 line. who is known
the length of the Mississippi river, is
quoted as follows in the very inter
esting interview below:
Now here's an illustration of
what can be done by river improve
ment. In the fifty-three mile reach
from st. Paul to Lake Pepin the en-
gineers have completed their work
on the four and one-half foot channel:
there is nothing to do there now out
side of necessary maintenance. Since
that work was completed, no boat has
ever gotten into Lake Pepin that did
not go through to st. Paul. no matter
what the stage of water. If we could
have the channel improved in the
same way down to La Crosse, we could
run throughout the season. In 1907
the ST. Paul grounded at Alma we
worked twelve hours to get her off
and then chartered two trains at an
expense of 500 and took our passen
gers to ST. Paul. ninety-six miles dis
tant. An improved channel would
have saved us money and time.
We hear much about the business
that was done in the old days; in the
old days the steamboat was all there
was, and when it stopped commnni
cation stopped; the delay was simply
Zone of the inevitable things. and the
wheels of trade waited to turn unit
that boat got off the bar.
Now, when one of our boats goe:
Iaground nothing stops but that boat
the railroads on either bank of the
river keep right on. What good doe

rates if he can't be certain of gettins
ANYTHING by the water route?
The shipper doesn't want any NOR
speed than we can furnish, but 1T
does want certainty of delivery. an
that we cannot guarantee him. In tn
fall of 1907 we tried to run out light

WHAT I. P. LUsK SAYS
is of the Opinion That an Improved
Channel For the Mississippi
Would be the Thing at
Present.

In not many days distant the shrill
toots of Mississippi steamboats, will
be heard in this vicinity and there
will be a general rejoicing among the
old steamboat men. employees, owners
and people who enjoy day on the
river now and then.
The two local packets look for an
early beginning and at the present
time it looks as if the boats will be
able to leave the wharf as early as
in years previous.

time yet to wait before entering the
run between ST. Louis and st. Paul,
but the company has everything in
readiness for a big season

Believer In Corporeal Resurrection
Has Table Constantly Spread
Adjacent to Tomb.

One of the most curious tombs in
the United Kingdom is in County
Wexford. In it is laid the body of one
of that curious body-the .Resurrec-
tionists. One portion OF the tomb is
a furnished chamber, with a table and
a few chairs. On the table will be
found at any time a dainty meal OF
considerable dimensions, with a fowl.
a ham, a leg of mutton and the neces.
sary drinkables. The departed Res.
urrectionist provides by his will that
this meal shall be laid each fortnight,
and "if the meal is untouched in the
meal time, it shall be given to the
poor and a fresh meal laid" So far
the meal has been untouched, though
eerie rumors spread round the dis.
trict from time to time that in spirit
form the gentleman has appeared and
has enjoyed his meal. Curious stories
are told Of poor people to whom the
ham or the leg of mutton has been
given being awakened in the night by
strange rappings on their doors and
windows and even by demands in a
grim voice for a portion of the food
which had been distributed. AS a con
sequence and probably for another
sad reason, it has come to be the
practice to consume the food imme-
diately it is brought home. 1t is the
only way to counterfeit the envy Of
the spirit, with whom apparently
hunger is constantly present.
