Musician in Form
After Long Illness


Harry F.. Hamilton. well known
musician living at 234 East Fifty
ninth street, New YORK, who for sew
eral years past has suffered from a
complication OF Ills, has recently been
restored to ahis former good health.
Mr. Hamilton attributes his recovery
to the celebrated Cooper preparations
which are now being demonstrated to
the public in this city. In speaking
of his experience Thursday, Mr.. Ham.
ilton said:
Some years ago 1 experienced
trouble with my stomach. At first /
paid little attention to it, thinking it
was only of temporary character, and
that it would soon pass away. But it
went from bad to worse and as l was
travelling over the country at the time,
eating here, there and everywhere, at
any and all hours, the irregularity of
vate my condition.
MY digestive organs became i'm
paired; there was feeling of heavi.
ness after eating, accompanied by an
accumulation of gas that was very
oppressive and painful, causing my
heart to palpitate like a trip hammer.
Then my kidneys became affected and
! experienced great pain in my back.
To cap the climax, suffered an attack
of rheumatism, and from that time on
| was in constant pain and never felt
well.

the subject of the public play grounds
was brought UP and after some discus
sion the following resolution was
adopted by unanimous vote: Re
solved. That we, the Turner'S of Mo
line, Clinton, Muscatine and Daven-
port, in convention assembled, de-
clare ourselves in favor of the move
ment for public Fairgrounds. Even
though these Fairgrounds cannot be
introduced in all the cities, yet we
think is advisable TO recommend at
this time that grounds be purchased

81 consulted doctors in all of the
larger cities, among them some of the
most eminent men in the profession
but their treatment did not help me. I
also tried numerous remedies that
were recommended by friends, but all
to no purpose. 1 grew steadily worse.
with no prospect in sight for relief.
Then the Cooper preparations were
brought to my attention, and l pro-
cured a treatment of Cooper's New
Discovery. 1 was as much surprised
as any one could be at its effect upon
my system.
II make no exaggeration when / say
first relief had been able to get. In d
remarkably short time I began to rest
easier and felt better in every way.

hausted l was entirely well. MY

Cooper's New Discovery is now on

you cannot obtain it from your local
druggist notify the Cooper Medicine

DAVENPORT

lnsures Handsome BIock.-An i'm
portant real estate deal just closed is
the one whereby the Register Life and
Annuity Insurance company of Daven-
port purchased the old Berryhill prop
erty on the southeast cornef of Brady
and Seventh streets. On this plat of
ground the company will erect new
2-story Office building for the excl,r-
sive use of the company. The building
will be notable addition to the bus
mess structures of Davenport and VIII
be thing of beauty also. The build
ing which now STANDS on the property
will be RACED and the lot will be grad
ed to convenient street level. Thea
the new building will be built on the
southern part of the lot The north
ern part will be grass plot and will
carry out the general plan of the COM
pany to make the location an attract
i've spot in the city The building
itself will be two stores high and alb
solutely fire-proof. 1t is to be mod
ern and first class in every particular
of construction.
Another BurgIary.-The residence OF
Charles l.. Schiele, 1416 Main street,
was visited by burglars Sunday night
during the absence or the family. En-
trance was gained through prying
open a window. The missing articles
are a Roman gold bracelet, containing
Ia brilliants; gold chain and stick
pin. The burglary was committed be-
tween Z and 9 o'clock. The theory is
that the house was watched, and when
members of the family were seen to
leave, the burglars proceeded with
their operations. The regularity with
which homes and business houses
have been broken into in the tri-
cities the past few weeks has led the
police to believe that there is crowd
of professionals working in this vicin-
ity.
Fruit Growers Feast.-The Scott
County Fruit Growers association
mustered 43 members, including a
dozen or so visitors from Rock Island,

Rogers of Monet, Mo-, who handles
the product there of % separate fruit
growers organizations similar to the
Scott county organization. A couple
of years ago Mr.. Rogers placed 567
carloads of strawberries from his
neighborhood. He finds and desig
mates the market for the % associa-
lions he represents, and the distribu-
ton of their product nets them the
largest possible returns = $1.81 case
of "a boxes, for instance, in the case
of the strawberries mentioned. 1t is
for results and returns like this that
the Scott county association was or
ganized, and Mr.. Rogers was aule to
give his hearers a broader view of
the mission of the local organization,
and greater enthusiasm for it, than
they had had before.
Masons to Meet Here.-The Masonic
grand lodge of Iowa which convenes IN
Davenport June 1, 2 and 8, will be one
of the big gatherings of the year in
Davenport. 1t will bring in the neigh

Motor Car For Baseball Teams Use.
The time is coming when the auto
mobile will be used for practically all
purposes where a speedy method Of
transportation over roads of all kinds
is desired. A hint Of the coming Of
this time is afforded by the action Of
the Indianapolis Baseball club in pur-
chasing twenty passenger motor
bus. 1t will be used to carry the play
ers to and from the ball grounds and
to and from trains. Its adaptability
for other uses-for making trips to

Ago-Number of Important
Changes in Laws of Order Adopt
ed.
The Grand Convention of the
Grand Lodge Of the Mexican knights
Of Honor, after being in session here
for the past fifteen days. was
brought to a close Saturday evening.
Among the most important work ac-
complished by this convention was
that of increasing the insurance pol
icies OF the order from $500 to 5000.
1t was also decided to erect a monu-
ment to each member of the order
who dies. This. however, is not
applicable to those who died before
this step was taken In view of the
fact that the death Of Santos Valdez.
who was an old member of the ord
err, occurred during the period when
the Grand Convention was in SEES
sion here, it was unanimously
agreed by the convention to make an
exception in his case and to erect a
monument to his memory.
Another policy adopted by the
order was that which in the future
viii allow the members who may
become crippled or disabled i'm any
way, so as 10 render then unable
TO work. 10 draw one-fourth Of the
lace value or their policies.
\ change was also made iu the
monthly dues of Tue lodges. Here
tofore tie dues have been j.! per
month for each member. and at the
death OF the member OF the organi-
zation the members We're each as
sessed to pay the death benefit The
assessment plan was done away with
by the convention, the regular
monthly dues being raised to $3.50.
it being estimated that the increase
in dues would more than meet the
death claims of the organization.
Another important matter was the
creation of the office of chief medf-
cal adviser Heretofore it has been
the custom of the Grand Lodge TO
accept the certificate of the Dhysi-
elan who examined the applicant for
membership without the fOrmality Of
having a medical adviser to pass up
