Theater Fight Aired In court.-Who
owns title to the Family theater in
Rock Island and the Family theater in
Clinton? This is the vexing question
now before Judge Barker in the dis
trict court to decide. Mr.. Sodini says
Il am it." and Mr.. Bryson says mo,
it's me" The warfare being waged
between Raw & Erlanger and the
Shuberts is no more bitter than that
being conducted by these two rival
theater magnates. Originally Mr.. So
DIM was in undisputed possession Of
the two theaters. According to his Pc
tition. he mortgaged these two theaters
to Mr.. Bryson to secure loan amount
ing to about $4,000. Now Mr.. Bryson
claims the papers given him by Mr..
Sodini were in the nature of a bill of
sale and not mortgage, and fortified
by his possession Of these papers Mr..
Bryson claims ownership of the two
theaters. On the other hand, Mr.. So
dini alleges even though the papers he
signed was a bill of sale, he was de-
ceived by Mr.. Bryson and made to be-
leve that he was merely signing a
mortgage. Upon the decision of Judge
Barker will determine whether Mr..
Sodini or Mr.. Bryson shall be recog-
nized as the rightful owner of the
property. At one time Max Ruben
made some pretense to ownership, but
his career in the theatrical armament
was but bri +, and he alleges he is no
longer an "angeI" for any theatrical
company, owner, agent, star or chorus

Through the answer of Mrs. Lizzie
Eggers In police court yesterday, when
she was asked how long she and Lee
Gaskey, both of whom had been charg-
ed with immoral conduct, had been
living together as man and wife, one
of the most startling examples of COM
mon law marriage was brought to
light. In her answer to the question
admitted that they had been living
together for a period Of over eight
years, in a house at Front and War
rem streets. She somewhat indicated
herself of the charge by the statement
that they had intended getting married
as soon as she could obtain a divorce
from her husband, but put herself in
bad light again when she said they
had been saving money to obtain this
divorce for the past eight years. The
court advised an immediate separa-
ton aud division of furniture, which

Catarrh of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve.
ROMPT ANp EFFICIENT REMEDY.

If the truth were known, the probs-
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh Of the stomach
as any other pOpuisr remedy in exis-
tence. We have a great many unsoIfc-
tied testimonials from al parts of the
United States, declaring In strong and
enthusiastic terms that PerunA has en-
tirely relieved them OF catarrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, If You have
stomach difficulty, it is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
''rhe affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely TO cause it.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
GAS chronic gastritis (catarrh OF the
stomach) is essentially q secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
Of the nose (ozena).
s"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles habby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
''The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is a COM
mon occurrence.
"Pain is not common. When present
1t is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri-
tating character.
''Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom~
ach frequent anG persistent.
'Food produces dull headache, and o
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked"
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions DR.. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States.
If you have any of these symptoms
get bottle of Peruna. Take dose be-
fore each meal. See If your stomach
does not Immediately feel better, your
appetite improve, your digestion at
once resume business.
People who object 20 liquid medicines
can now secure Peruna tablets.
