CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation and
Money.

We are so positive that we can re-
Iieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than use
less to attempt 10 cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm They may cause a
reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic.
Constipation IS often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect a cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them TO healthier activity.
The discovery OF the active prin-
ciple Of our remedy involved the la
Dor of skillful research chemists.
This remedy produces results such as
are expected from the best Of the
best-known intestinal tOnics and it is
particularly prompt in its results.
We want you 10 try Rexall Order

ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparent
" act directly on the nerves and
muscles Of the bowels, having, ii
would seem, a neutral action on 9th

purge or cause inconvenience. Il
they do not positively cure chronic

result, the work would have TO be
dropped for q year. He claimed Rev.
Mr.. Marquis was familiar with ccndi-
tons throughout the entire synod, and
that no other man could be found who
could carry on the work in the way
that he could.

asking that DR.. Marquis be retained.
The strong talks presented Dy these
men was a rare tribute TO DR.. Marquis
and plainly evinced the deep regard
and esteem in which he is held by
the entire city.
HOLD SECRET SESSION.
After both sides had been heard, the
delegates, about 20 in number, retired
into secret executive session, calling
Dr. Marquis before them TO make q
statement, which it is understood was
practically the same as that made be-
fore his congrega-,oE last Sunday, at
which time he said that he felt that he
could no longer ignore the call OF the
synod, and therefore, wished TO have
them decide it. There were only two
men who voted against Dr. Marquis
remaining, and when they say that
they had no chance of winning, the
vote was made unanimous.
To say that the Broadway congrega-
ton was overjoyed at the outcome OF
the matter which has been troubling
them for the past few weeks, would
be expressing 1t mildly. and the gen
eral hope is that Dr. Marquis may be
permitted 10 continue his magnificent
work for many years 10 come.

BURGLARS VISIT

Break in at Window and Secure
Valuable Watch, Razor

CASH RETURNS ARE SMALL

Locked Up in Big Safe Which
Is Left Untouched.

The Rock Island Office Of the Mueller
Lumber company was Broken into and
burglarized last night This morning
Manager oscar J. Ohlweiler and his
assistants made the discovery upon ar
irving there for the days work. A
scene of confusion met their gaze, the
Office being in great disorder. A hur-
ried search revealed the fact that only
30 cents in cash was missing but that
the burglars had secured a gold watch
and a razor belonging to Yardmaster
Robert jaeger and an Elk pin which
was the property of Manager Ohlweil
er.
The safe which contained consider
able money, appeared too formidable
to the intruders for apparently they
had made no attempt to break into it
HAD PLANNED THE JOB.
Everything points TO the fact that
the robbers had planned the job quite
carefully and had made every allow
ance except for the fact that the re-
ceipts of each day were locked up in
the big safe at night All the electric
lights in the yards near the Office had
been put out of commission nearly a
week ago. it being thought at the time
that ii was the work of mischievous
boys but now it is thought that it was
part of the plot.
Entrance was secured at the scale
window, a diamond having evidently
been used for cutting out a section Of
glass so that the sash could be IN
locked. A kit of carpenters tools used
in some repairs being made in the in
terror Of the Office, furnished the bur-
glars with means to chisel open the
cash drawers in the desks and other
drawers which Il was thought Night
contain valuables Although they got
no money to speak of, their haul was
not so poor as the watch, razor and
Elk pin are of considerable value.
NO CLEwS ARE LEFT.
The police conducted an investiga-
ton this morning but the burglars had
left no clew behind them on which
to work.

GOOD ADVICE FOR
ROCK ISLAND PEOPLE

People in Rock Island who have
constipation. sour stomach or gas on
the stomach. should use simple buck
thorn bark. glycerine. etc. as COM
pounded in Adler-i-ka, the new Ger
man appendicitis remedy. A single
dose brings relief almost instantly
because this simple mixture anti-sep-
tics the digestive organs and drains
the impurities. A. Heimbeck, drug
