The visitors who flocked TO the Viro
Medical Institute TO see the wonderful
appliances for fighting chronic dis
eases expressed unlimited wonder and
delight at all they were shown.
For hundreds of years the vital
need Of a method to accurately deter
mine the real causes of disease has
been a dreaded Skeleton in the Cup
board of the medical world. The i'm
portant thing TO do in all cases of all
ment is to find out the cause. and this
once accurately determined, the cure
is sure. The physicians at the ViTo
Medical Institute first find out exactly
what Is the mater with the patient;
they do not give credence TO symp-
toms, but they look for themselves.
BY means of the marvellous Niro-Scope
they look into the inner workings OF
the patient. They look at every organ
in the patients body. watching closely
for any abnormal conditions. such as
enlargement Of the stomach, heart
trouble, ulcer of the stomach, kidney
and bladder stones, cavities in the
lungs, etc.
Not satisfied with this, they test the
blood, the preparation, the nervous
resistance, and the circulation, until
in the end the infallible diagnosis is
obtained. Then and then only is the
patient treated.
The wonderful Viro Current forms
the neculeOus of three score different
treatments - catarrh, rheumatism.
deafness, paralysis, skin. stomach,
kidney, liver and nervous disorders.
AL have their different forms OF APP
paratUs. The solar generator saJur-
ates the infected parts with foods Of
concentrated sunlight.
The oxygen Of the treatment rooms
is transformed by the Viro Current
into free ozone, and in five minutes
you can breathe more OF this free life
giving ozone than you could on Pixies
Peak IN five months.
There are glass tubes that fit the
eyes. the ears. the back. the stomach.
etc. and through these is poured into
the body a torrent of the new ViT0
Current that viii annihiIate diseased
conditions and harmful germs
The treatment Is absolutely pain

BAD STORM DESCENDS
ON THE TRI-CITIES
Sky Becomes Black Except When
Lighted by Brilliant Flashes
of Lightning.

A storm of a cyclonic nature
struck the tri-cities shortly before
noon today and while it frightened
a great many people, it really did
more good than harm for it effective
~ cooled the atmosphere. About 10
of an inch of rain fell between the
time the downpour commenced and
1870 o'clock, at which time reading
was taken at the weather bureau in
Davenport. The precipitation was
not remarkable for this time OF the
year. 1t was the darkness and the
brilliant and repeated flashes of
lightning together with the high
wind that frightened people.
A bolt of lightning struck the Meth
odist church in Hampton, tearing
away a portion of the steeple and dis
lodging the plastering. There was no

eminent and it is now known as
Mack"
1t was in 1899 that Capt. streck-
fus built the palatial steamer 81. s."
at Jacksonville, Ind. on the Ohio
river. During the entire construc-
ton of the boat Capt. Streckfus kept
the public guessing as to what would
be its name. So intense did inter-
est become in the matter that the
owner was offered munificient sums
If he would reveal the name to GER
tain parties. But no amount could
influence him and not until the gov
eminent inspectors had measured
the new craft preparatory to issuing
a license, was the name -. s." re-
vealed. Two hours after the name
had been put on, the boat steamed
down the Ohio river to Cairo and
into the Mississippi. 1t was by far
the most magnificent excursion
boat that had ever entered the Faith
er of Waters. Proudly it steamed up
the Mississippi and landing in Rock
Island and Davenport was greeted by.
brass bands and the firing OF cannon.
Its destruction by fire 25 miles be-
low La Crosse, Wis, a year ago this
month, is still fresh in the memory of
the public.
Capt Streckfus was not disheart-
ened by the loss of the 81. s." He
placed the comfortable steamer "W.
w" in the excursion business and
at once started plans looking to
building of a new boat to replace the
-. s." He learned that such a boat
as he desired to build could not be
built in less than two years. He
then resolved on other plans.
It was the dream of every ambi-
tiOus riverman to some day be the
successor of Diamond 10" Reynolds
in the ownership of the line of boats
which bear his name Capt. Streck-
fus realized this dream during the
past year when he purchased the en-
tire Diamond 10" fleet, including
the steamers ST. Paul, Dubuque,
Quincy, and Sidney, and all the ware
houses and wharf boats extending
from st. Louis to st. Paul. The
magnitude of the transaction may be
inferred from the fact that it would
require $3.50, 900 to duplicate the
construction OF one Of these boats
today.
On Sept Is, a st. Louis-New Or
leans service will be inaugurated
Captain Streckfus was the father
of numerous innovations on the Miss
issippf steamboats,. The first cali
ope was placed on the CITY OF Wi
mona" owned by him. On the
Verne Swain" he installed the first
system OF ineandescent and arc
lights whose current was generated
from one dynamo. The first soda
water fountain, the first telephone
system and the first running water
on steamboats,, were coincident to
the building OF the ~. s."
Forty years ago the name OF Ola
mond 10" Reynolds and the Diamond
10 line of boats was almost synony-
nous with navigation on the upper
Mississippi. So today the name Cap
tain John Streckfus and the Streck-
fus line of boats stand as their
worthy successor,

Emerson Tucker, Missing for a
Year and a Half Turns Up
Suddenly.
HAD BEEN IN THE WEST
Worked as RaiIroader but Tired of
Life-WrOte to Father for Per-
mission to Return.

Emerson A. Tucker, the 19-year-
old lad who disappeared from his
home in this city March 6, 1910, and
of whose whereabouts absolutely
nothing could be learned, despite a
general effort of the police all over
this part of the country, is back at
home with his father, n. P. Tucker,
1918 Twenty-ninth street. He re-
turned to the parental domicile follow
ing a letter which he dispatched from
Kansas City several days before and
which was the first news of him since
his mysterious disappearance.
HAD RUN AWAY.
Neither he nor his father would
say much about the lads exper-
fences during the time he was away
1t was learned, however, that he had
simply tired Of life here in his
fathers printing establishment and
had run away to see the world He
spent the past year and a half
since his disappearance in diff
ferent parts of the west, pTin-
cipally in Denver and Kansas
he had gone TO his mother who
dwells somewhere in the west, but
he had not even seen her and did
not leave with the intention of going
to her.
FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
The boys mysterious disappear
ance caused a sensation here. Every
effort TO learn of the lads where
abouts failed although the account
of his disappearance as published
in The Argus at that time, was
spread broadcast over the land and
the police everywhere were furnish
ed with his description. When all
other theories failed, it came 10 be
believed that he had met with foul
play and that he was probably muir
dered and cast into the river to hide
the crime The mystery remained a
mystery until last Friday when his
father received the lads letter.

noon OF Sunday. March 8. last year,

tired OF being away from his home

he had run away and failed to re-
