pany, and should improve it's roads to
the country" was the consensus Of
opinion expressed last night when the
Rock Island business men enjoyed a
complimentary luncheon and a bust
ness session at the Rock Island club.
Arrangements had been made for a
hundred at the meeting and every tick
ct apparently was used and the result
vas fine gathering Of representative
men, well qualified to discuss the city's
needs. The program, excepting some
entertainment by E J. Stackhouse,
who read in his charming manner a
number Of poems, consisted of brief
talks by members of the organization
who desired to be heard on the two
subjects before the meeting-tele-
phones and good roads.
TALK GOOD ROADS.
H. A. Clevenstine. president of the
association presided. He opened the
meeting with a report on the rapid
progress which the organization has
made since its recent reorganization
and emphasized the need for frequent
get together meetings" at which the
city's best interests can be discussed
and harmony promoted. The general
discussion was then opened.
w. B. Mcintyre reviewed the move
ment for good roads and expressed
a belief that the time is not for dis
tont when Rock Island will boast OF
the best thoroughfares in the country
He also advised the promotion of har
mony in the conducting OF city affairs
II. s. Gable spoke at length on the
Iced for better roads and said that in
his opinion there is no need for i'm
proving the city and having fine
things, big institutions and good stores

Gable, ARE more important than the

GOLD DUST
removes grease quickly
from pots and pans
- EHszszlla1 sssEEszzaAz1

Cleaning the pots and pans
and kettles is usually a most
disagreeable piece of work, but
like everything else there is
an easier way to do it, if one
knows how.
AS soon as the food is re-
moved, pour in water and dis
solve in it Gold Dust in the pro-
portion of one tablespoonful
to a gallon of water.
Leave to soak while washing
the dishes, then pour off the
water and fill with clean suds
made in the same way. If
particles of food still adhere to
the inside of the utensils, use
potrings for removing them.

 "Has any one brought . letter for me?" asked D'Artagnan eagerly.
 ''No one has brought letter, mon- sieur," replied Planchet, but there is one come of itself. When l came in. although l had the key of your apart ment in my pocket and that key had never been out of my possession, I found letter upon the green table cover in your bedchamber. I left it where l found 1t, monsieur. Beware. monsieur, there is certainly some magic in it"
 While Planchet was saying this the young man had darted into his cham Der and seized and opened the letter. 1t was from Mme. Bonacieux and was conceived in these terms:
 There are many thanks to be offered to you and to be transmitted to you. Be this evening about 10 o'clock at St Cloud, in front of the pavilion built at the corner of the hotel of M. dEstrees. c. B.
 It was the first billet he had re- ceived. 1t was the first rendezvous that had ever been granted him. His heart, swelled by the intodcation of joy, felt ready to dissolve.
 At 2 o'clock in the morning he arose and called his servant.
 "Planchet" said he. "I am going out for all day perhaps. You are therefore your own master till o'clock in the evening, but at o'clock you must hold yourself in readiness with two horses. By this evening there will be four in the guard stables"
 Nodding to Planchet, D'Artagnan went out.
 M. BonacIenx was standing at his door. D'Aftagnan's intention was to go out without speaking to the worthy mercer. but the latter made so polite and friendly a salutation that his ten ant felt obliged not only to stop, but to enter into conversation with him.
 Besides, how is it possible to avoid a little condescension toward a husband whose pretty wife has appointed a meeting with you that same evening at St. Cloud. opposite the pavilion of M. dEstrees?
 The conversation naturally fell upon the incarceration of the poor man. M. Bonacieux expatiated at great length upon the Bastille

the newspaper account of the case.
Paris, June 26.-Miss Margaret Crav-
ems of Madison Ind, committed suicide
in her apartment at 20 Rue du Golisee.
She shot herself through the heart with
a revolver, death being instantaneous.
The concierge found the body and COM
municated with the police. Miss Crav-
ems left letter on her dressing table
addressed to a friend. asking that the
body be cremated.
From inquiries made by the police
1t appears that Miss Cravens received
a letter from America, the contents of
which seemed to affect her greatly. She
was a member OF well-known Indi-
ana family and was believed to hav
considerable private means She came
to Paris five or six years ago to study
music and was popular in Latin quarter
circles.
Miss Cravens had invited several
friends to tea at her apartment We'd

Miss Cravens is the daughter of Joe
