ONE BIG FOOL
But He Doesn't live in keokuk Nor
Read The Gate City.


A man in Connecticut gave doc
tor, a specialist in catarrh $50 to
cure him of this common vet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him bottle OF
medicine and told him to use it.
The fool took the mericine home.
LOOK one dose, put it on shelf and
made no further effort to follow in.
structions
Three months later with the med.
icine still on the shelf he told a
friend that the specialist was fake;
that he had paid him $50 and still had
catarrh.
HYOMEI pronounce it High-o- mel
won't cure catarrh if you don't breathe
it; it will if you breathe it regularly.
Furthermore. you don't need to give
catarrh specialist $50 to cure you OF
catarrh, for the specialist is yet to be
born who can write better prescrip-
ton than HYOMEI.
Wilkinson & Co. and druggists
everywhere guarantee HLOMEI to
cure catarrh or money back A com.

tie of HYOMEI, a hard rubber inhaler

HYOMEI if afterwards needed cost

With the removal to st. Louis of

left to supply Keokuk's needs of re-

The Harrison-Dietz and the Azinger
people have taken over part of the
ice properties in this city, leased by
Henry Becker and the rest of the
paraphernalia was moved to st.
Louis last Saturday by the ice com

and failure to harvest during two
seasons was the probable cause OF

Baby Mine.

Considered from the standpoint of
the theatregoer, it is indeed good
news to learn that the company that
will be seen in Baby Mine" at the
Grand Opera house on Wednesday eV-
ening, Feb. 15 is one which was seen
originally in that very successful
farce during the entire summer just
past, at the Princess and Garriek shea-
tres, Chicago. In the company are
Consuelo Bailey, Earle Mitchell, Geo.
Probert, Natalie Perry, Richard Col
Inns, George .Stanhope, J. H. Davies,
Gilda Varesi, May Barton and others,
who have established themselves as
funmakers of the finest quality.
The reception that has been ac-
corded to Baby Mine" by the press
and public in New York tends to re-
vertebrate the successful record that
the farce made in Chicago, and provi-
sions are being made to keep the lat
est Margaret Mayo success at the
Days Theatre for the remainder of
the season
VIM. A. Brady, Ltd, in making the
production of Baby Mine" were
aware that the psychological moment
had arrived for the return of the farce
to public favor and the nightly recep-
tons of the farce indicate clearly
that VIM. A. Brady, Ltd. struck the
right moment with the right material.
Baby Mine is up to the minute, and
the deftness of Miss Mayo's touch is
noticeable in every line and situation,

CRAWFORD IN GREAT SHAPE.
"Wahoo Sam" Playing = Wonderful

"Wahoo Sam" Playing = Wonderful
Game For tho Tigers.
When the last season drew to q
close it was the general opinion that
Sam Crawford. the Detroit American
heavy hitting outfelder, was on the
down grade and that this would prob
ably be his last season in a major
league. Today Crawford is leading
the American league batters with an
average considerably over 400, and
he is playing better game Of ball
than he ever has played before In his
long career.
There is no doubt that player Of
Crawford's disposition would be at
fected by any Misunderstanding he
might have with teammate, and his
quarrel with Cobb undoubtedly threat
ened to end his days of usefulness to
the Detroit club. But the difference
between this wonderful pair Of hit
tiers has been smoothed over, with the
result that Crawford and Cobb are
playing great ball these days and are
really responsible for the brilliant
showing the Tigers have made to date

UNDER REORGANIZATION PLAN

Department of Dakota to Be Abolished
July 1.
st. Paul, May 15.-The department
of Dakota, with headquarters at St.
Paul, will be discontinued on July l,
according to dispatch from Wash
ington. This will be done incident to
a plan of army reorganization to be
put into effect at the instance Of Cen
eral Wood, chief of staff.
Orders now being prepared, provide
that the military service Of the United
States shall be composed of three con-
tinental divisions, the Eastern divi-
sion, with headquarters at New York;
the Central division, with headquar-
tiers at Chicago, and the Western di-
vision with headquarters at San Fran
cisco.
This readjustment contemplates the
discontinuance of the department of
Colorado as well as the department of
Dakota. The business now transacted
in these two departments will be
merged in the Western or Central d.
vision. Probably the department of
Dakota is the smallest of the present
military subdivisions, comprising Forts
Smelling, Yellowstone, Lincoln, Mis-.
souri, and Harrison.
