Bell Boy in Knife Attack. - For at
lacking another bell boy IN one of the
local hotels following an argument
which had been Of long standing, H.
Jackson, aged Is years, was brought
TO the police station by Detective
Sanford and held for assault with in
tent TO tu1ict great bodily injury.
However. this charge was dropped
when the young man was brought in
to court and he was let go with a rep
rtmand when the facts of the case
were aired. The fight took place in
view Of several occupants Of the hotel
and an open knife was the principal
piece de resistance. It Is claimed that
Jackson had opened the knife for
other purposes than an intended cary
ing of his adversary, but that when
the argument began and gradually
waxed stronger, he did not close the
weapon, but continued TO hold ii in
his hand. In the scuffIe which took
place between him and the larger boy,
the latter was cut in the arm and
claimed that be was stabbed The
past reputation of the young man
under arrest and the facts which came
out at the hearing, brought about the
dismissal of the charge

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

~ OOu DI1Ilk.
Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too
careful as TO the food they use while
nursing their babies.
The experience of a Kansas City
mother is case in point:
was great coffee drinker from
child and thought / could not do
without it. But / found at last it
was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness,
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart, to which was added two years
later a chronic sour stomach.
the baby was born seven months
ago and almost from the beginning
it, too, suffered from sour stomach
She was taking it from me.
In my distress I consulted a
friend of more experience and she
told me TO quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk. 1 have
since ascertained that it really dries
up the milk
so l quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not
agree with me. Then | turned to
Postum with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing l needed.
1t not only agreed perfectly with
baby and myself, but il increased the
flow of milk
My husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well of
the dyspepsia with which he had
been troubled. l no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach.
Now we all drink Postum from
my husband to my seven months old
baby. 1t has proved TO be the best
hot drink we have ever used We
would not give up Postum for the
best coffee we ever drank" Name

PLACATlNG THE DEVILS.
Paying Homage TO Evil Spirits of
Land and Sea In China.

Paying Homage to Evil Spirits of
Land and Sea In China.
Once every year, during the first if
teen days of the seventh Chinese
month. the curious ceremony Of Yu
Nan Whei is celebrated, being, in fact,
the paying Of homage to the land and
sea devils.
Seven priests carry out the ceremony
by Offering up various forms Of prayer,
says the Wide World Magazine, and
making an unearthly noise by beating
gongs.
Any one wishing to show his respect
to the devils can do so by a payment
Of 600 cash-about p cents-to each of
the priests, for which amount they
viii continue their performance for
twelve hours, a truly modest remuner-
alton.
For an extra payment Of 1000 cash
a number Of small red paper boats
about six inches long, with lights in
side. will be sent floating down the
river with the current. These lights
are for the benefit of the sea devils in
order that they may be able to see
their way about on dark nights
Having finished this performance,
the person on whose behalf it has been
carried out goes away happy In the
conviction that he will not lose any of
his family throughout the year either
by sickness or drowning. so that the
whole ceremony may be looked upon
as an insurance policy. At this time
of year many thousands of the small
lighted boats may he seen floating
down the Yangtsekiang.

MOLINE

On Eieht-Hour ScheduIe.-An eight
hour work day was inaugurated in all
departments Of the Union Malleable
Iron company, East Moline. yesterday,
800 men being affected. During winter
months the plant has been operated on
basis of 10 hours daily. Furnace No.
was closed down Thursday evening
and there are but three of the six fur
naces remaining in operation.
Unoccupied Houses Raided. - That
boys have raiding cottages on Camp
bells island is the conclusion of own
ers there who have found their places
ransacked and torn up during the last
week. Near to a dozen summer homes
on the upper end of the island have
been entered by mischievous parties
and, judging from the articles stolen,
boys have been busy. Among other
cottages entered were those of A. T.
Foster, where a good pair of tennis
shoes are missing; G. M. Loosely,
where the thieves helped themselves
to pair of field glasses and a revol-
yer; W. A. Meese, Rev. A. NJ. Johan-
son, G. A. Shallberg, Herman Lage, F.
e. Leavens and John A. Forsberg.
That they were bent on mischief is evil
dent from the lump sugar that has been
takeen and scattred around, and that
they were looking for articles they
could sell was learned when the field
glasses missing from the Loosely cot
tage were found in a local pawn shop.
