Fast for Rock Island
Quintet.
VISITORS PLAY ROUGHLY
Twenty-Five Fouls Called on Them
During Course of Game, Few
OF Which Are Thrown.

The fast Clinton high school basket
ball FIVE invaded Rock Island last eve
ming and handed out defeat to the To-
cal high quintet, winning by the score
of 80 70 rs. The game was hard and
desperately fought, but was marred by
roughness, especially on the part Of the
visitors. Had the local players been
able 10 make foul throws with greater
regularity they might have won, for in
all the officials called a total of %
fouls against the Iowa boys. The Gin
ton team started out with rush, and
got an early lead, which they main
tanned until the final whistle was
sounded, although the locals at times
pressed them hard, especially in the
second half, when they were within
enc point of tying up the score.
Squirt IN SECOND.
The count at the conclusion OF the
first session stood IS to 13, and in the
second period, with a changed lineup,
the high team took a brace, and for a
time outplayed their opponents, but it
proved to be only a squirt, and the
Clinton five again rolled in points as
fast as they had in the first half Behn-
amann was the star of the local team,
and, though he played guard in the
first period, he scored four field bas-
kets. while in the second session he
added three more TO his count Neus-
sill and Tremann each made a field
basket. while Neussili registered four
foul throws. One point awarded the
team for holding. and a foul throw by
Behnamann completed the total %
points tailed by the Islanders.
CLINTON'S WORK BRILLIANT.
Klines brilliant work was the cause
OF most OF the visitors points, he alone
registering nearly enough counts 10 de

out in the middle OF the second half
Donnelly also distinguished himself by
throwing five field baskets and two
foul throws. while Stuart played q

Wonderful Physical Strength That Was
Used to Good Purpose.
Sir William MacGregor was the hero
ordinarily to read about only in fiction
Of certain hue.
The steamship Syria, with a lot of
Indian coolies on board, struck on a
rock about twelve hours from Suva,
the capital of Fiji.
DR.. MacGregor, then acting colonial
secretary, organized a relief expedi.
ton, clambered over a broken mast
that was the only path to the emf
grants and again and again returned
with a man or woman on his back
and sometimes a child, held by its
clothes between his teeth.
A man OF vast physical strength
MacGregor wanted it all for his final
feat. Down below on the reef was a
woman who had fallen overheard, had
got at the spirits and was mad with
drink The captain of the ship and a
police officer who had gone after her
were being swept out to sea. Mac
Gregor slid down a rope, caught the
knot of the woman's hair in his teeth
and with his hands seized the two men
and dragged them both into safety.
He went back to Suva in a borrowed
suit of pajamas, having left all his
clothes and a good deal OF his skin on
the coral reef
Modest, like many heroes, Mac
Gregor left himself out of his own re-
port, and it was from the governor
that the queen first heard the whole
story.-London Graphic.

Rheumatism is a favorite name Tor
pains that rack the back the joints,
the limbs, and almost any other part.
\ good deal of the pain that is laid
to rheumatism is really due to kidney
weakness, and an excess OF uric acid
in the blood. When the blood is over
loaded with uric acid, it forms into
crystals. which are deposited in the
muscles. joints along the walls of the
arteries, and in the sheaths OF nerves.
The movement of nerve or muscle
that contains uric acid crystals causes
sharp, intense, darting pains and in
time starts inflamed swellings.
Cric acid has a great liking for the
joints. and often combines with other
chemicals into chalky or stony paru-
cles. These deposits stifren the joints,
making them extremely painful, and
in severe cases changing the bones.
Rheumatic pain in the thigh is call
ed sciatica; in the muscles OF the
lack. lumbago: in the face, neuralgia;
in various other locations, neuritis.
Associated diseases are gravel, Sout.
dropsy and heart trouble.

When Coal Was Formed.

What is said to be the strangest
period through which the earth has
passed is the one that was responsible
for the formation of coal. The planet is
described as being at that time fat and
smooth as to surface aud peculiar as
to vegetation. The continents were
just beginning to rise above the ocean
and the land had not yet become dry.
Mountain ranges had not arisen
from the swamps and the atmosphere
was thick with fog. In this state OF
al airs there sprouted and hourished
the plants which were later to furnish
the world with its coal supply.
These plants grew as big as our
largest trees, taking deep root in the
morass and lourishing like the lush
grasses in moist meadow land, devle-
oped into the strange shapes now found
in tropic vegetation. The forests
looked, scientists state, like dense
growths of weeds, PUSHES and en-
ormous ferns. Some of them grew in
the shape of q cacti, having spines all
over them. This kind OF vegetation
was very rich in carbon, which it de-
rived from the warm, moist atmos'
phere. Then the millions of years
rolled by, the forests of giant weeds
were buried by deposits of earthly
material and the chemical change took
place which slowly changed them into
coal. This process stopped with the
carboniferous age, so that when the
present supply of coal is dug out o
the ground there will be no more.

facts in this review of the political

facts in this review of the political
situ stion:
Mr.. Taft had a popular plurality Of
1883, 604 in the election in 1908. This
plurality will have to be overcome it
q democratic president is elected next
fall. 1t mean . change of more than
600, 600 votes.
The democrats had l62 votes in the
electoral college of 1908. They must
have 266 votes in the next electoral
college in order to win.
The sterotyped reply to these sta.
tistics will be tha at MIR. Bryan was a
weak candidate. This is true. In
comparison with democratic oppor-
tunity, Mr.. Bryan was indeed a weak
candid ate, but Mr.. Bryan polled
6, 400, 1O4 votes. This was 1900, OO0
more than Judge Parker polled in
1904. 1t was 1852, 1856 more than the
Cleveland vote in 1892. 1t has been
exceeded only by the vote for Mr..
Bryan himself in 1896.
Democrats who talk as 1t the next
election would be q wslkover do not
realize the size of the republican ma.
i~orities that must be overcome.
Roosevelt's popular plurality in 1900
was 2,545,515. McKinley's popular
plurality in 1900 was 1914, 100 and In
1896 it was COL ,854. In 1892, the great
democratic landslide year. Cleve'
lands popular plurality was only
$50, $40, and yet he had q popular
plurality Of only 9S.017 to overcome
from the previous election.
In four successive presidential cleo
tions the republican candidate for
president has polled than Y
900, 900 votes. Mr.. Taft vas by nc
means q strong candid ate in 1908, YET
he polled more votes than Roosevelt
received in 1904, and the brute force
of these recurrent republican MAORI
ties constitutes a tremendous handi.
cap upon any democratic candidate.
If the democrats think the next cleo
ton is as good as won, they are sadly
mistaken. They have a fight on their
hands, whether or not Mr.. Taft is re.
nominated.
