TAKE TRIP OVER THE ROAD
Connects This Locality With Coun-
try That Will Bring Much
Business Here.

1t was the unanimous opinion of
those who made the trip yesterday
over the Rock Island Southern that
the building of the new road has been
a remarkable accomplishment, not on
~ from an engineering standpoint, but
from a commercial standpoint as we'll.
One hundred and thirty were on board
the train as the guests of the Walsh
brothers, promoters of the road. and
all of them were very much enthused
over the possibilities offered by the
line. 1t has opened up a new country
and connected the three cities with
such central Illinois cities as Mon
mouth and Galesburg. both of which
will have lots of trading 10 do with the
tri-cities when the way is opened for
them 10 get here and back again. Pre-
senting, as it does. an almost exact
air line between Monmouth and Rock
Island, the Rock Island Southern road
will furnish quick service between
these points and cut out all tiresome
and discouraging delays both in freight
and passenger service.
See Points of Interest.
About thirty of the party which
made the trip over the line were from
Rock Island. and with several eXcep-
lions the remainder Were all from
Davenport, the home of the Washes
The special, made up of three Rock
Island coaches and a Rock Island en-
CINE, left here at 10 o'clock in the
morning and after numerous stops
along the way pulled in at Edwards
river at 1870, where the train re-
manned until l O'Clock. During this
time the new power house was in
spected and explained TO the visitors.
At noon dinner was served, after which
the party con dnued on to Monmouth.
At each OF the high bridges and other
points of interest along the line the
special train stopped and gave the
sightseers a chance to inspect the
work. The long high bridges made
necessary by he lay of the land we're
of particular interest to the party.
Some of these are as hign as So feet
above the level OF the ground under
them. and their length runs into the
thousands of feet.
Take Trip on ElectricS.
So much time was spent in sight
seeing between Rock Island and Mon
mouth that it was found impossible to
go clear through to Galesburg. When
tie train pulled in at Monmouth it
was met by q brass band, and the tri
city people we're escorted from the
Rock Island train to a train of cleo
trio coaches belonging to the Rock Isl
and Southern. They boarded these and

ERICH AS PERU"
Stories Told by Travellers of the Great
Wealth IN That Country.

Rich as Peru is Il common saying.
but it is none the less true. The origin
of the phrase, according TO the Los
Angeles Herald, dates back to the Span-
ish conquest of South America, when il
was fondly believed that the Aztecs were
TAIL Croesuses. The fallacy was proven
with the lives of innumerable Spanish
Adventures and the real wealth Of the
country was left for another day and
generation TO discover. Within the last
few years the Peruvians have awakened
10 the possibilities of development of the
resources Of one Of the most wealthy
countries in the world in natural heritage,
and they are welcoming the friendly in
flux of foreign capital with the same
ardor exhibited Ivy their ancestors in de-
feating a like invasion.
The first product that one associates
with the name of Peru is guanO, than
which no more powerful fertilizer and
Stimulator of vegetable life exists Credit
for the discovery of the commercial value
of the immense beds of guano that line
the rocky shores of the South American
republic is given to Baron Humboldt.
From his time to the present the ex-
ploration of those archaeological deposits
has been going on steadily. and now the
richest beds are in danger Of being ex-
hausteG. The government of late has
controlled the industry and given licenses
for working the beds from April to Sep
TENDER. During the rest of the year the
industry is prohibited to allow replensh-
ing by the penguin seagulls and peiicans.
The right of expectation is now held by
a big British corporation.
1t is estimated that more than H.
100000 tons of this modern Peruvian
wealth have been exported since It's value
was discovered by the great German
scientist The three Chincha islands are
considered the richest of the ancient beds,
while Lobos de Sierra and LoboS de
Afuera, off the north coast of Peru,
have the most bountiful supply Mt pres

a GOOD CHANGE

Change of Food Works Wonders.
The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To change
the food is the first duty Of every per-
son that is i'll, particularly from stom.
ach and nervous troubles. AS an il.
lustration: A lady in Mo. has, with
her husband, been brought around to
health again by leaving off coffee and
some articles of food that did not
agree with them. They began using
Postum and GrapeNuts food She
says:
For a number of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until I was very
Ill most of the time. About four years
ago left off coffee and began taking
Postum. My stomach and bowels i'm
proved right along, but I was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then 1 changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum I lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day l gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 10 years old and he was
troubled, for a long time, with occa-
sional cramps. and slept badly Final
ly. prevailed upon him to leave on
coffee and take Postum. He had stood
out for long time, but after he fried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
Il have a brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use It also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."

REMEMBERS OLD FRIENDS.
Story of the Pope and Shipwrecked
Sailor

The Pope remembers old friends and
wien ne knows that some person he is
acquainted with is in Rome he never
fails 10 grant an audience, says CORE
spoudent OF the New \ orK sun. A teW
days ago sailing vessel from Malta
was shIpWrecked on the Roman coast.
-Four men Of The crew were drowned and
the remaining seven swan ashore and
we're rescued with great difficulty by
some shepherds.
The master and mate were injured and
they were conveyed to one OF the hos
pitfalls in Rome The Pope read about
the sllipwreck in the newspapers and the
name Of one Of the men sounded ia
miliar to him.
Il think that | must have known this
man called Rugier in Venice, where he
used 10 come Oh Il schooner from Malta,
said the Pope to his secretary, and
would like to see him
I'm audience was arranged and Rugier,
the mate, went mp 10 the atican. The
Yate library, heard the story of the ship
wreck and presented him with a gold
medal.
Il saw your holiness in Venice once
years ago" said the mate.
TIC be sure answered the Pope. Il
remembered your name and the vow you
told me about, the vow You made when
You still keep it?'
es, your holiness, and | have i'll
creased il now answered the man.
He then told the Pope that he as
crihed his rescue 10 II repetition of his
old vow, namely that he would fast on
bread and water twice every week for
the resi- OF his life.
but you already tasted twice every
week for the other vow and now you
will have TO eat bread and water on four
days out of seven exclaimed the pope;
then he added: You are an old man
and it is cruel to sturye yourself so
prohibit YOU from keeping both vows"
The seaman eXpoStulated. He said a
bargain was a bargain and as God had
saved his life he was bound 10 fulfill his
promises. The Pope insisted. He tried
to convince the seaman that the vow
was not binding as il was too hard for
a man of his age, but realizing that ii
was useless to argue the point he had
regular brief of dispensation drawn ont
there and then. signed and sealed il in
due form and he handed it to the sea
man saving:
IF YOU do not obey this you will be
accommodated, and this exempts you
from fasting
The seaman then bowed his head and
promised to obey.
