As
EXCUSE FOR ACT

IntoXication is the excuse given by
J. Z. Parker. a transient manufacturer
Of wire coat hangers, for his attempt
10 pass a bogus check at two Twenty
fourth street saloons Monday evening
When he was aTraigned before Magis-
trate {. ]. Smith this morning. he ad-
mitted having written check, but was
unaware Of the fact that he had tried
TO collect S1735 for the false paper.
When he claimed to know nothing of
the check this morning, except to rec
ognize the handwriting, Assistant
States Attorney p r. Ingleson said.
You are evidently smarter when you
are intoxicated than when you are So
Der"
The prisoner admitted he had no
money in the bank and that though he
may have attempted to pass it, he was
not guilty OF attempting to conduct a
confidence game He had signed the
name Of Clarence Piscay TO the paper.
He had been here but four days.

FEARS FOR LIFE; WANTS
BOYTO kEEPTHE PEACE

Claiming that he feared for his life
because 15-year-old Lyle Owen, 1906
Twenty-ninth street, had told him he
was due for cleaning" Chris Schies-
evitz, 1908 Twenty-ninth sire ct, mad
the lad hailed into Justice Clarence
Schroeders court this morning, asking
that he be put under a peace bond.
The judge told them to patch up their
differences out of court and attend
to their own affairs and all would :
peace and tranquility.
Some time ago the Owen boy was
throwing some dirt clods over the
bridge at Twenty-ninth street, and one
OF them alighted upon Schiesevitz' s
sconCe, so engaging him that he is
alleged to have threatened the boy
with humiliation. The boy then pick.
ed up a board and invited an attack
at the same time informing his elder
that if he did not wish to be converted
into mincemeat, he would desist. Il
appears that the trouble is merely the
outgrowth of a neighborhooi quarrel
ard on this account the justice lis
missed the case and gave both parties
some fatherly advice as to future con
duct.

ROCK ISLAND WILL
OBSERVE SANELY
City Will Be the Center of At
fractions Tending to Relieve
Danger From Celebration.
DAVENPORT BUSY PLACE
Will Present Motor Car Races of All
Sorts for the Benefit of Public
Gaze-PyroteChniC Displays.

Rock Island will be the center of a
sane Fourth of July observance, and
if the orders of the police department
of the tri-cities are observed with any
diligence. the day will be a safe day
in every sense of the word, though
Rock Island itself is not in charge of
any celebration which would tend to
make the Fourth an ideal day from the
standpoint Of everyone but the yoGng-
ster who glOries in the noise which &C
claims the independence day of the
land. For the first time in years Rock
Island will be without a league base
| ball game, but so far as can be de-
ciphered no tears are being shed here
abOuts on that account.
DAVENPORT RACES.
The racing regatta of the Mississippi
| Valley Power Boat association, which
I IS held under the auspices of the Dav-
export Boating association, beginning
/ Thursday, will attract thousands, while
the automobile race, featuring Bob
| Burman at the Davenport mile race
track, will be another feature drawing
card Of the day. In the evening the
river will be the scene of a gorgeous
pyrotechnic display. while motorboats
/ by the score, brightly lighted. will dart
over the waters, thereby adding to the
gaiety of the scene.
MOLINE,S PLANS.
Moline will add to the attractions OF
the day by its morning parade, while
in the evening fire displays will be
given at Prospect park.
The resorts in and about the tri
cities, including the Watch Tower and
others. will be popular with picnicking
parties It is expected that thousands
Will visit the parks.
During the day. all business houses
will observe the usual holiday closing
hours, while the banking institutions
public buildings and the postoffice will
be closed.

LITTLE DOUBT 9TH WILL
GO INTO CAMP JULY 1E

Danger that the 9th regiment, /.
n. G., would not be able to take part
in regular army maneuVers this
summer because of the yetoing Of
the bill appropriating $1.350,OO for
military drills by President Taft re-
Gently has been allayed by the re-
passing by the lower house Of con-
gress of the appropriation. 1t is be-
Iieyed that the senate will also act
and the president will approve in
time 50 that the encampment can be
held beginning July Is, according to
arrangements now made. The Ctr.
regiment will go to Sparta, Wis, this
summer.

Every woman who has not ex-
perienced the comfort given by a
perfect fitting graceful corset,
should attend this demonstration
of the Rengo Belt Corsets, which
will be held at this store for two
days. Friday and Saturday next.
The Reneo Belt Models impart
to stout and medium figures the

that they accomplish this result
with perfect comfort to the wear
er.
The prices, $500 and $500, are
below the usual prices you are
usually asked for high class cor
sets with anywhere near equal mer-
its TO the Rengo Belt Corsets.
To make these two days demon

more than ordinary interest to
women who are critical about the
corsets they wear, and to more
quickly introduce this marvellous
form reducing corset, we shall pre-
sent free 10 each buyer, a hand
some lace or embroidery trimmed
Brassiere with each Rengo Belt

We Raise The Standard of
LiUing and LolUer Its Cost


The New York Herald is author
ity for the statement that outside
of foodstuffs dollar never went so
far as today"
1t is such a store as this that
keeps the cost Of living down to a
basis possible to be covered by the
average income of an average me-
chanic or workiugman.
1t is pointed out that If food
stuns could be merchandised in the
same way as the products of shops
and mills, the whole cost of liv-
ing" problem would be solved.
Its our province TO be watchful
of your outgo.
If the farmer gets soc or 60c a
bushel for potatoes and you pay the
grocer Csc for half a peck, just
figure what you pay per bushel
Watch the corners, buy as you
should and the high cost of nv-
ing" can be greatly reduced.

Relief was so slow, however, and
the need became SO imperative, that
the secretary and legislative superin-
tendent obligated themselves to the
extent of several hundred dollars, iii

and at work.
We are sure that the many friends
of the League, when they know the
circumstances do not expect the
League workmen to do all the work,

In addition we need yet to purchase
an addressograph outfit, which will
add at least 5000 to the account. We
need just I24 other persons to send
us their check for $500 each to relieve
the embarrassment at our Washing

undersigned Bliss Building at Wash
ington, D. c. This is our final appeal,
for the present at least but we can
not afford to give up this equipment.
