a: the Family theater, Moline, for all
next week. Miss McKinley's sweet
personality and clever selection of
songs have endeared her to the hearts
of all those who have had the pleas

and even if she were not the
fsvorite niece Of President Mckinley
her own talent would place her at the
head of the majority of those who offer
similar specialties in the amusement
field. Miss Mckinley is we'll known in

kLOCAL CITIZEN
PLUNCES ON EGGS

Believe me, the place to get fresh
eggs is out in the country" said Al
Bruner. the local piano tuner, the 9th
er day in conversation with his better
half. who had Just been lamenting the
scarcity OF A No. triple hen fruit
The only way to get the real article
is to get on the train and leave far
behind the smoke and CRIME of the
city, the hard pavements, the noisy
cars and the high prices. / am going
to take a little trip today and will
return with some regular eggs"
Suiting the action TO the word,
Bruner boarded a Rock Island South
ern car and journeyed thither. Alight-
ing at a little station, not so very
far removed from his boyhood home,
he entered the general store to make
the purchase. AS he stood around
waiting for the storekeeper to weigh
out a jar of country butter just
brought in by a farmers wife, same
TO be exchanged for two pounds of
prunes, 10 pounds of granulated sugar
and can of California peaches. his
attention was riveted outside.
A farmer had driven up in a spring
wagon. and was in the act of unloading
a case of the regular" eggs. No soon
er had the hen fruit been decided TO
the storekeeper than Bruner was UP
to the counter rubbing his hands gIee-
fully
There's the real eggs, right hot
of the bat" he said, addressing the
storekeeper. Il would like to take the
whole case, but it is too cumbersome.
Just pick out five dozen Of those
regular eggs and put them in sack
Strictly fresh eggs are selling in
Rock Island at about 80 cents a dozen.
and Bruner was a little surprised
when he was asked "a cents for them,
/ but considering the fact that they
were still warm, he considered il a
good investment and paid over the
cash.
When the regular eggs were brought
} into action at the Bruner homestead
at Fifteenth street, the startling dis.
covery was made that 43 out of the
total lot Of so were absolutely bad and
unfit for place in a habitation used
/ by human beings.
Mr.. Bruner has now decided that
the country has its drawbacks, after
all.

Detective Cox remarked yesterday af-

that is not now in jail will be out Of
town within the next "a hours, but the
trouble Is to keep them out There

said Detective Cox. "All that want

PRINTING THE TRUTH.

1t is not pleasant and profitable
always TO tell the truth in the col
umns of the newspaper. Men who
have tried this heretofore have al
ways come to grief. Only a few
days ago the editor of a paper in In
diana grew tired of being called a
liar, and announced that he would
tell the truth in the future: and the
next issue of the paper contained the
following items:
John BONN, the laziest merchant
in town, made a trip to Belleville
yesterday.
John Coyle, our groceryman, is do
ing a poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?

not a beauty by any means, and has a
gait like a duck. The groom is an up
to-date loafer He has lived off the
old folks all his life, and is not worth

plenty of good horses and the races

close but never had quite enough
speed to slip past the old warrior.
Marie is a good game little mare but
very lame. The race might have been
different had she been working right.

from wire to wire. Elsie Jennis came
away out from the rear in the second

year old and under race. Elsie Dillon
beat the rest of the field and they
never had a chance to head her. Flash

Elsie finished a few feet ahead of him.
