DON 7 GIVE UP
HOPE OF CURE

Bartz's Latest Tes-
timonials Civ

PEOPLE WANT PROOF

Don't give up hope of cure just
means, especially when there is a
treatment that has cured hundreds
afflicted as you are. If you are weak
from any cause or suffering from
backache, lumbago, sciatica, rheuma-
tism, stomach and liver trouble, kid
ney, bladder or bowel complaints,
DR.. Bartz's system of treatment will
make you strong and well again.
Here is one of his late testimon-
ials. He can refer you to many
others if you want further proof
Mrs. Edward Van Gitsen, who re-
sides at 1855 Forty-second street,
Rock Island, says: "All my life /
have had trouble with my stomach
and for the past seven years it has
been exceptionally bad. My tongue
was coated nearly all the time and
there was hardly a day passed but
what I had a nasty taste in my mouth
together with this unpleasant state
of affairs, / suffered a great deal Of
pain in my back and bowels, in fact,
I became so bad 1 could hardly do
my work. Finally, 1 began to rea-
lie that / would have to have help
soon or else give up completely, so
I made up my mind to consult DR..
Bartz and try his method of treat
ment. ! am glad I did so, for now
l can hardly find words to express
my delight to think what a success
his treatment has been in my case.
1 really feel like a new woman. The
pains from which I suffered and that
distressed feeling in my stomach has
all left me, the food all tastes natur-
al again. in fact, / feel perfectly well
once more"
The above case well illustrates the
marvellous work that is being ac-
complished at DR.. Bartz's offices,
which are located in the Peoples Ma
tional bank building, (fourth floor,
corner Second avenue and Eigh-
teenth street. Rock Island. His of
fees are nearly. always crowded with
patients, some of whom come long
distances to be treated. His treat
ment is indeed wonderful as pains
and aches are frequently relieved in
a few minutes time.
Notice-All patients calling at DR..
Bartz's offices between now and APP
ri 80 are treated free until cured.
This great free treatment offer was
extended until then on account of the
fact that the conservative patients
we're only recently beginning to rea-
lie and appreciate the true merits
of his successful method of treat
ment and besides DR.. BartZ is
anxious to add at least 60 more rec
concentrations to his list of cured as
he firmly believes that one cured pa
tient can do more good in a COM

NOTES OF THE GAME

Nothing doing until Sunday. Then
Davenport is here.
Yesterdays game belonged to the
Islanders and would have made it
two out OF three from Glass A boys.
Second Basemsn WTigley deserves
the undyfng gratitude of his team
mates.
The high wind which came up in
the third inning blew a cloud of
dust over the field. Had 1t been
in the old days when the diamond
was dusty the game would have stop
ped
Several nice catches were made as
a result of the way the wind blew
the ball around. Kelly made two
handles and Slattery and Jacobsen
each pulled off one.
Lester Bassett. the Blue Island
recruit, got his first tryout yesterday
and his work looked good to the
fans. He runs the bases well, hits
clean and as far as could be seen
fields in good style.
Davey robbed himself of a hit
and his team OF score when he fail
ed in the fifth inning to touch first
base. He had a two sacker easily,
but Mr.. wrigley was taking no
chances and he saw the foot miss the

scoring. The Islanders on the other
hand did some nice clean hitting, but
it was not opportune. Hunter opened
with a two-sacker and in the seventh
inning he secured another bingle, and
Vogel, Basset and Quiesser each made
hits. Davey drove out a two-sacker,
but lost credit for 1t by failing to
touch first base, a fact which Mr.
Wrigley was quick to observe. Incl
dentally run was made on the hit
and it, too, had to be lost on account
of the failure to touch the sack. It
is probable. however. that had this
run been added to the Islanders score
it would not have changed the result
any as Wrigley would have passed
one more man instead of letting him
earn his way to first base. The score

LONGWORTH IN TRYING
SITUATION, HE DECLARES
Wise Sayings of His Credited to
Roosevelt, and BIunders All
Charged to Himself.

Washington, April 2.-Representa-
tive Nicholas LOngworth of Ohio con-
tinued yesterday to defy the insur-
gents, whom he pilloried in his speech
at the republican club dinner Satur-
day night Mr.. Longworth says he is
a standpatter. that he glories in it, and
that he doesn't care what his
father-in-law, Theodore Roosevelt,
thinks about it.
''As a matter of fact, does anyone
know what Mr.. Roosevelt's idea of
the present situation is?" asked Mr..
Longworth. Being a son-in-law in this
case and trying to keep in politics is
not all g path of roses. l have a great
many constituents who believe that
when I say anything worth repeating,
if 1 do, Mr.. Roosevelt inspired it, and
when l say things that appear silly, or
are silly. they express pity for my
father-in-law. The only time they give
me credit for being myself is when I
make blunder.
But regardless Of what anyone
thinks, I am ready to take the stump
and talk as long as my voice will hold
out and justify my vote on the tariff
bill before any audience in the coun-
try"

ALIVE NEXT DAY
Message Found in Cherry Mine
Throws Light on Fate of
81 More Men.
MUCH MONEY ON BODIES
st. Paul Coal Company States That
Remains of All Missing Have
Been Accounted for.

Cherry, ILL.,, April 12-"AIl alive,
D. m, Nov. IA" This, the latest
message from the fatal st. Paul coal
mine, was brought to light yesterday
with the recovery of 81 more miners
bodies which had been entombed
since the disaster OF Nov. 10 last.
The bodies were taken from the
lower level, 300 feet under ground.
The men had retreated to a space
20 feet square and had constructed
a rude fan of boards to keep the air
circulating. On the fan in big let
tiers were chalked the words quoted.
indicating that the men had lived at
least until the day after the fire.
Took Turns at Fan.
Evidently the prisoners had taken
turns at the crank of the fan, for
one of the bodies had fallen over
the handle, as if the operator had
died while struggling to maintain an
air current.
That the miners were in the habit
of keeping their savings on their
persons was shown by the amount of
money found on the bodies. One
miner had in his belt $1,40O. In the
belt of another miner was found
$3.50 and another had s172.
These men were foreigners and
evidently carried their money in
their clothing rather than deposit
il in bank. In the pockets of some
of the mems clothes were found let
tiers, but these were too badly blur
red by water to be deciphered.
Long Survival is Denied.
A report was circulated that evil
dence had been brought to light with
the bodies indicating that the men
had lived for six weeks after they
had been sealed up in the mine and
that they had existed on corn taken
from the mules stables. Sheriff
Skoglund of Bureau county made a
thorough investigation of the report,
examining all the evidence taken
from the mems clothing, and declar-
ed it was untrue. He believed the
men had died of black damp. prob
ably a few hours after they had writ
ten the memorandum on the fan.
Find Last Bodies.
1t was declared by the mine COM
pany's officials that all of the 300 or
more miners entombed and killed by
the disaster had been accounted for
A number of bodies located have not
yet been brought up. but within
few days, the officials say, the story
of the tragedy will be ended and the
mine cleared.

UMPIRE WINSCAME
Second Baseman Wrigley Of st
Paul Does More Than Rest
of Team Combined.
GIFT TO HIS TEAMMATES
Hands Out Passes Right and Left in
Closing Inning and Takes Vic
tory from Islanders.

It took only one of the members OF
the St Paul team to win the game
from the Islanders yesterday after
noon Second Baseman Wrigley was
the one who did it He slipped it over
T1ghe's recruits in the sixth and sew
enth innings and his team won the
contest by a count of to 2.
1t might be well to explain that
fWr1gley, although a regular second
sacker, was not in that position yes
terday. On account of the absence of
any umpires he was given the job
holding the indicator and he perform
ed far better for his team In that
position than he possibly could have
done at the usual station he occupies.
His scheme for winning the game was
beautiful IN its simplicity. He waited
until sure that his teammates could
not get away with it themselves and
then calmly shut his eyes while Read
Pickering was tossing them up and
sent five men to first base in a row,
forcing two of them over the pan and
winning the game
Hard On Islanders,
It was rough on the Islanders, as
they had the game cinched On &C
count of the cold wind which was
blowing it was decided to shorten the
game to seven innings and as this
decision was not arrived at until after
the fifth inning it behooved the visit
ors to get a hustle on them, as they
were beaten up to that stage by a
score of 2 to o. That is when Wrig-
ley made himself useful. In the sixth
he passed Jones and gave him second
base after he had been thrown out by
five feet at least. Errors by Kelley
and Davey allowed Jonesy to cross
the platter before the side could be
retired. Wrigley's team was still
beaten, however, and as the end was
drawing near he took no further
chances. Five men in a row were
given passes to first, although Picker
ing was getting the ball over the plate
enough to have at least four of them
struck out. With his team one point
to the good, Wrigley let up and the
side was retired without any further
runs.
st. Paul Allowed Two Hits.
The Saints from the American as
sociation, winners of two out of three
from the St Louis Cardinals before
coming here. were let down with two
hits and they were both by McCor-
mick One OF these came in the sec
ond and the other in the fourth, and
neither had anything to do with the

SUMNER WILL FILE
FOR ATTORNEY
First Announcement of Can
didacy for the City Pri-
marieS in November.

City Clerk Sam r. Sumner will
within few days file his declara-
ton of candidacy for city attorney.
Mr. Sumner has been considering
the matter for the past several
weeks and today positively decided
TO make the race The present city
attorney, Louis Crollard, has not
positively stated whether or not he
will again be a candidate. He has
held the office for two terms and
has given very general satisfaction.
Sam Sumner has been city clerk for
the past " years and is thorough
" conversant with every phase OF
the city work, and it will be very
difficult for another clerk TO get the
mastery OF the details of the city
work as had the present official.
Mr. Sumner, however, desires TO de-
vote the rest of his attention 10 the
practice of law and would like a
term as city attorney before giving
mp his whole attention to the gen
eral practice. He is careful stu
dent of the law and his knowledge
of the legal details incident to city
work would make him very valu-
able official should he be elected.
