THROUGH SERVICE
Rock Island Southern Begins
Running Trains to Galesburg
and Aledo Tomorrow.
NO FURTHER TRANSFERS
Still Testing Electric Equipment
Another Trip to Be Made Over
the Line Tomorrow

The Rock Island South rn, COM
mencing tomorrow, will have
through steam freight service from
Rock Island to both Galesburg and
Aledo and return. The announce
ment of this change in service was
made today. Up to this time, freight
consigned to the terminals of the
line from the south, has been trans
ferred at Monmouth and freight con-
signed to Aledo has had to be trans
ferred at Gilchrist. making consid-
cradle delay necessary in each case.
Now there will be through service
from Galesburg to Rock Island and
return without any transfer at Mon
mouth and the same will be true of
the service from this city to Aledo
and return. One car will be added
to jhe train and it will be dropped
off at Gilchrist and taken immed-
lately to Aledo over the Aledo stub
line.
Electric Service Soon.
The stretch of the Southern from
the power house on Edwards river to
Milan is being tested almost daily
with electric cars and it is expected
that the> service viii soon be started.
Another run is to be made tomor-
row by an electric car from Ed
wards river to Milan and if it is sat
isfactory the regular service will
probably be commenced the follow
ing day. The line beyond Edwards
river is in good shape for electric
service and with the finishing of the
line into Rock Island there is moth
ing in the way of immediate service
between Rock Island and Gales
burg.

CORCORAN ALlBI

Witness for Defense in Sensa

Prosecution.
DATE OF CRIME CHANGED
Vague Statement of One of Children
Is Supplemented by That of
School Teacher.

The defense in the Frank Corcoran
case, now before a jury in the circuit
court, suffered a severe setback today
by reason of the testimony adduced
from the witnesses who were placed
upon The stand at the request of Cor
coran attorney, c. E. SturtZ. The
state is jubilant over the answers re-
ceived from the witnesses upon cross
examination and States Attorney Ma
gill and his assistant, H. NJ. Schriver
are both of the opinion that they have
knocked the pins from under the whole
defense. The two star witnesses of
the latter failed entirely 10 help Cor
coran any, and upon cross examina-
ton they made statements which aid
ed the state materially. Thus far the
defense has introduced a dozen wit
nesses and almost without exception
their testimony has strengthened, rath-
er than weakened, the charges made
against Corcoran by the two little
girls, Marie Smith and Caroline Rind.

SKIN DISEASES
HUM0RS In THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues are all preserved
in a hea1thful state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
It is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tons. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
cu1ation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or inhammatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases, because
it is the greatest OF all blood purifiers.
It goes into the circulation and
