Magistrate c. J. Smith had a hard

those who appeared against him were
each fined So and costs for assault, or
because they 'pusha heem ona da

Pietro bore evidence of the battle

MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.

Characters Were Evolved.

Process by Which These Familiar
Characters Were Evolved.
The sign Of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus"
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part OF the ''p' was placed
near the center: hence the plus sign
was finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted into mus, with a
horizontal line above TO indicate the
contraction, which was a printers
freak that may be found in almost any
book bearing a date earlier than the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
After the lapse of a long period OF time
the letters were omitted altogether,
leaving only the short line so we'll
known to all.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into char
acter resembling the letter Z. This
was done simply because multiplied
ton is but a shorter form of addition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a horizontal
line and the divisor below. In order to
save space in printing the dividend
was placed to the left and the divisor
to the right, with simple dot in place

Ancient Cancer Cure.

An ancient oriental cure for cancer
was to apply live toad to the affected
part. A well authenticated case of this
form of treatment was that Of the wife
of a merchant of Smyrna. A live toad
was strapped tightly over the diseased
part, and, it was said, the woman was
completely cured within short time.
1t WAS sacrifice upon the part of the
toad. however, as 1t died after it had
been on duty twenty-four hours.

a disastrous collision between two
autos which met head-on Just north Of
the bridge from this city to Rock Is
land arsenal. One machine, owned by
the Buck Auto company of Davenport,
was coming to Rock Island, and the
other, owned by the Smith & Nelson
company of Davenport, was going
north. The latter machine was loaded
with coco cola bottles, which were
scattered about and broken by the
force of the collision. Both machines
were so badly injured that they could
not be moved for some time. The
driver of the northbound car sustained
an injury to one arm.

EX-GOVERNOR MCBRIDE
OUT FOR ROOSEVELT
Can Not Stand for the Tainted Chicago
Nominee

The following was the message sent
by former Governor Henry Mcbride TO
the Progressive Conference held at
the Hotel Washington, July 18th:
II am Republican and expect to
remain a Republican, but I do not
regard Taft as the Republican nomi-
nee. Title cannot be obtained by
theft or fraud. Taft is the standard
bearer Of the Filipino, the Porto Rican,
the Hawaiian, the Federal appointees
of the South where no republican party
exists, and of Mr.. Barnes of New
York and men of his ilk, not to forget
our own consequential, delightful little
Sammy Perkins of Tacoma.
To claim that he is the nominee OF
the republicans of the great republican
states, would be an affront to their
honesty, an insult to their intelligence.
No progressive republican can sup
port Wilson, because his tariff for rev.
enue only doctrine, if put into effect,
would spell disaster to the wage earn
er, the farmer and the manufacturer.
We cannot afford to be deluded by
the worn out battle cries of the demo-
cratic party. To me the path Of duty
seems plain, and I intend to follow it
regardless of where or to what it may
lead. I shall go with the wing OF the
party protesting againt the Chicago
outrage.
I fail to see any need of a third
party movement in this state. Through
a direct primary, progressive republi-
cans have a medium for the expression
of their views.
