MAY HAVE LIST OF GIFTS
Elmer Dover Thinks Mems. Of
1904 Funds Are in Chicago.

Tacoma, Wash, oct. SHAT among
mass of campaign papers stored away
with personal effects In a strong box In
Chicago there may be lists. partial or In
complete. OF contributors to the 1874 Re-
publican campaign fund, but that he has
no clear recollection on that point, was
stated by Elmer Dover, formerly secre-
tary Of the Republican National Com
nittee. here to-day.
Dover, who now lives in Tacoma, was
questioned by Senator Wesley l. Jones,
member OF the subcommittee Of the Sem
ate committee investigating campaign
contributions, on telegraphlc instructions
from Chairman Clapp.
do you remember" he was asked by
Senator Jones, having any conversation
with Mr.. Bliss In regard to taking a copy
or keeping a copy Of the books showing
contributions and contributors"
Yes. remember on one occasion he
said he was going to retire from politics
from the committeeman that might In
all probability remain Indefinitely, and he
gave me certain lists which he suggested
that keep"
do you know whether they purported
to be correct copies Of lists OF contribu-
tors and contributions made TO the cam
paigl that year,"
my recollection is that they were
partial lists, but / could not say def
nitely."
you have no recollection of any par
ticular contribution as shown on that
list?"
"None whatever"
your impression is that he furnished
all the originals and you made copies and
returned the originals to him.
Yes. that's H."
The witness said that he knew nothing
Of the debated Hartman. Morgan or
Standard OIL contributions to the 1904
campaign.
"The only large contribution of which
have knowledge" he said was one
made at the request Of the family Of
Senator Hanna--$15,O00."
William Hayward, recently secretary of
the Republican National Committee, said
last night he believed Elmer Dover, his
predecessor. was mistaken in the belief
that copies Of campaign contributions
were In storage at Chicago.
II don't want to go on record as posi-
lively disputing Mr.. Dover" said Mr.. Hay
ward. but the statement credited TO him
is surprise TO me. All the records
know OF are stored In a Chicago ware
house. and when was succeeded by Sec
rotary Reynolds this summer I turned
over receipt for these to him. I have
been over these records personally and /
know Of no copies Of campaign contribu-
lions among them"

CHEAPER THIS YEAR

Thanksgiving day. the red letter oc-
casion for big eats" when you sit

Islanders less this year than In pre-.

cents cheaper than in 1911.
There Is. however, an alarming
scarcity in turkeys but local dealers

farmers will get busy the first of next
week and bring In a good supply.
Poultry will be several cents a pound
cheaper than last year. Bountiful

THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF ACE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make 1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, TO prevent it from losing it's color
and lustre, is just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for COS
metics and creams to improve the COM
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? OF the two, it is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty Of the hair than it is to have
good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occasional
use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, preparation OF common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh,
faded hair, dandruf, itching scalp and
falling hair. After a few applications
of this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored TO its
natural color, In short time the dam
druff viii be removed, and your hair
will no longer come out but will start TO
grow as Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents bottle, and your drug
gist will give your money back If you
are not satisfied after using. Pur-
chase a bottle today. You viii never
regret it when you realize the differ
ence it viii make in your appearance.

ing the preceding sessions was espe-
cially manifest at this closing meet
ing The meeting had come face to
face with a great opportunity and an
equal great responsibility which was
met squarely with the determination
lot TO fail in doing their part.
Dr. Bandy's address, The Harvest
in Indian" following up the official
vote OF the adoption of the convention
policy served to confirm the men in
TIER earnest purpose.
TELLS OF ESSENTIALS.
The closing address of the conven-
ton was delivered by Mr.. White
His topic was Essentials in a
Christian Life Purpose" and these as
sentials were as follows:
If one is to adopt a life purpose
that is comprehensively and wholly
Christian, it will include several vital
elements. The first Of these is the
purpose to follow and obey the will of
God, no matter what the cost. DR..
sen Of China says, God wants not
Your patronage, but your obedience.
As long as there is unwillingness to
accept the will of God as the final law
OF conduct and of life. really Chris
tan life purpose is impossible.
The second element is the purpose
to study both the word of God and
the facts Of the kingdom. Only per-
son who studies seriously these prin-
ciples and facts is able to relate him
self in any large way to the solution OF
the great problems that confront the
church
The third element of a worthy
Christian purpose is to give with sys-
tom, proportion and sacrifice, TO the
ork OF the kingdom. God does not
ask us TO give because He needs the
money. for the silver and the gold are
! lis and the cattle upon a thousand
hills. But he asks us to give it that
! in doing so we may become more like
himself. II is the nature OF love to
give The more we give the more
our love will grow. And the more our
love grows, the more freely and glad
~ will we give.
The fourth element of a Christian
life purpose is to pray habitually for
more laborers, for those already at
work and for the coming Of the king
dom of God in the world.
There are LAO minutes in every
cay. Can we not spend at least one
I.,.nute out of each hundred in pray
Cr2 Nothing else can SO release di'
vine energies through US. Prayer
n owes the hand that moves the world
!, is the Christians primary method
o. work"
Dr. Marquis introduced a resolution
OF appreciation which was enthusias
tioally adopted by the convention and
Y hich was as follows:
We have come to the close of three

days of great privilege and uplift. Our
hearts are full of thanksgiving to God
for His favor in the sunshine and the
glory of His presence in tie meetings;
ED of gratitude to the Layinen's Mis-
sionary movement which planned this
convention for the tri-cities and the
regions about and sent US the conse-
Grated and eloquent men who have
appeared on its program and given US
the vision of worldwide triumph of
Christ's kingdom and of our apportun-
r:ent which has for its object the up
lift of humanity into the love and light
OF Gods salvation.
I'VE thank these men for their pres
ence and their messages, and pray for
increasing power and success in the
work God has entrusted to them.
I'VE desire also to remember that
tie success of the convention has
been due in large measure to the IN
firing interest and patient labors of a
G eat company of men and women who
have labored together for weeks to
bring US the blessings of these days,
We extend our grateful thanks to MIR

John Danielson of Moline has for
some time longed to make a sight-see-

he decided to crafty his ambition
and made an extensive Summing in
vestigation during the course of which
he visited more saloons than would
be considered conducive to sobriety.
Danielson was informed by the court
that he could go home if he would
raise his right hand and solemnly
swear never to take drink. The hand
was appraised, but when those words
mot another drink" began to perco-
late through his dome, his arm was
seemingly subjected to a stroke of
paralysis, and it slowly dropped to his
side.

Up TO CITIZENS
TO ATTEND MEET
Good Roads Gathering to Be
Held at the New Harper
House Tomorrow.
EVERYBODY is INVITED

er or Not Project Is to Die for
Lack of Sympathy.

To the People: I sincerely hope that
every member of the good roads COM
mittee and every man interested in
good roads in our county and else
where will be at the New Harper house
Thursday afternoon at o'clock sharp.
If the people will not pay any atten-
ton to this call. then / for one will
take 1t for granted that they do not
care about good roads, and for my own
part will give it up, and let some one
else take hold of the matter.
JOHN OHLWEILER,
Chairman Finance Committee.
Citizens of Rock Island, South Rock
Island and the outlying districts will
have an opportunity tomorrow after
noon to show that they are in favor of
improving the roads leading in and
out of the city. For several months
past there has been a continued agita-
ton for better thoroughfares, and the
Fifty Thousand club has enlisted its
sympathies with the move. A start
has been made and the Ninth street
road from Sears to point about the
middle of Vandruff's island has been
put in very good condition by the lay
ing of crushed rock. The city, county,
Fifty Thousand club and the farmers
south and west of Milan are credited
with what has been done.
NOW UP TO THE CITY.
1t is time now for more general
and larger move for lettering the
roads. Scarcely a person in the city
but is interested directly or indirectly.
The ease with which farmers and tour
lists can get into a city has a great
bearing on the prosperity Of that city.
The merchants are interested, for the
farmers will come here to buy if the
roads are in good condition. The pro-
/ fessional men are interested. for sim
! liar reasons. The citizens in general
are interested, for ease in bringing
produce to marke. makes lower prices
and a steadier supply. Every one in
| Rock Island should be interested in
| repairing, improving and building
roads, and the medium for showing
| their interest is in their attendance al
| the meeting tomorrow afternoon at the
| New Harper house. 1t is to be hoped
| that there will be a crowd of interest
ed and determined citizens there.

SICK OF WASHING;
FINDS A new MAN
Married Woman Does Mental
Work While Husband Spends
Money on Horse Flesh.
ELOPES WITH NEIGHBOR
Couple Start Boarding House in Rock
lsIand-Police Stop Colored
Love Fest.

Charles Bundy, gentleman of color
from Des Moines, has a mania for
horse flesh. Some men dissipate their
monthly stipend on chorus girls, taxi
rides. lobster and champagne suppers;
others play the bucket shops or see
their wages evaporate over the poker
table. But not Mistah Bundy. Every
time he saves SIS he starts out to buy
a horse, and a horse he gets, regard
less of age, color, or previous condition
of servitude. AS result of this hobby
Bundy has during the past few years
purchased some eight or ten nags,
which at the time of sale were about
ready for the boneyard, and has kept
them but a few feeting hours before
the humane society had taken the ami
mails into custody and FASTENED their
journey to the ultimate resting place,
the tallow factory Naturally, Bundy
has not increased his capital a great
deal by these little flyers, and as a
result his good wife has been forced
to take in washing in order to provide
herself with silk petticoats and fried
chicken.
LEAVES HER MAN.
Two months ago, Charles White, the
negro whose face is more familiar in
police court than that of the bailiff,
came to Rock Island to start a room
ing house. During his stay at Des
Moines he made the acquaintance of
Mrs. Bundy, who was neighbor, and
persuaded her to fly with her to far
of climes, where they could dwell in
an atmosphere of watermelon and love,
with no faint of horse flesh to strike a
discordant note in the harmonious
symphony of life.
She fed, and according to evidence
introduced by roomers this morning,
passed herself off as Mrs. White. When
hubby finally arrived on the scene, he
had to content himself with being a
common, ordinary boarder, and see his
wife's affections monopolized by TIN
landlord. After 1t was shown that Mrs
Bundy had been intimate with White
she was fined 800 and costs. She will
be at home to her friends Friday af
ternoon in the reception room of the
| county Jail for the next 20 days.
