The SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required 10 Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why 1t is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfill the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to a medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need
of ii.
A prominent druggist says: Take
for example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that I know of has so
large q sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to
the fact that 1t fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

principal episode upon which the
charges against Mrs. Naylor were
based. Mrs. Naylor made an en-
phatic denial of her husbands
charges and said that she and her
husband met O'Bryan in the west.
where the latter was employed by a

Taft Angry Over S4,95O
Assessment Upon Auto
He Bought Second Hand

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Jan. 10
Professor William Howard Taft. Of
Yale is dissatisfied with the tax lew
led upon his automobile by the city.
Recently he received a tax bill show
ing that the assessors had rated his
machine as worth $4,000. To this 10
per cent had been added upon his
failure to appear within the required
time and swear to his tax list. This
brought the total on which the 10
mill tax is computed UP to $4,950.
In letter to the assessors, Mr.. Taft
today informed them that he pur-
chased the car second hand paying
only $1,000 for it, and fails to under
stand how they can rate it at 81. 500.
Although Professor Taft owns real
estate in New Haven. he did not have
title to it when the assessors were
making up the list last spring and
is not taxabl this year

MOLINE TO MEET
MONMOUTH HIGH

The Moline high school basketball
quintet will go against the Monmouth
team at the Maple City school floor
tonight in the second game between
the two teams Moline won the first
game. but as Monmouth did not have
all of the regulars in their lineup a
much closer game is looked for to-
night.
Just prior to the game at Moline a
week ago Coach Smith took the floor
and delivered his constitution of a
short address regarding the fact that
Monmouth was in badly crippled con-
dition and the second team was taking
the floor. Some of Smiths stars have
doubtless recovered from their unex-
pected illness by this time, however,
and Monmouth will doubtless have a
good bunch in the field tonight
One of the hardest games Of the
present season is expected tomorrow
night when the Moline high will clash
with their old rivals. the Davenport
high school. at the Moline floor. Great
rivalry exists between the two clubs
and the students of both schools will
doubtless pack the gymnasium to root
for their favorites.

FEDERALS FIGHT
MAJOR LEAGUERS

Chicago, Feb. 6.-The Federals
have declared war on ten big league
players, including several of the
brightest stars of the game, who used
the independent organization only as
a club to compel their old employers
to come through with increased salar-
les. One of the men to incur the en-
nifty of the third circuit is Max Carey
of the Pirates, and while no other
names were mentioned it was init
mated that several of the other ath-
letes are better known
The Feds will not engage in an &C
tive campaign against the ten, but a
waiting game, productive of just as
much and as sweet vengeance, is
scheduled. When any of the naughty
athletes who spurned the indepen-
dents in their time of need find things
breaking badly and see themselves
released the Feds will not move fin
ger to save the once proud perform
ers from an ignominous descent to
the minors. Even if through some
queer turn of fate an athlete is let
out who still is capable of holding
down a big league job he will appeal
in vain to the Independents, who will
treat his importunate cries with the
same GOODNESS and hauteur as was ac-
corded the Gilmore circuit when the
stars were in their glory.

San Francisco. Feb. 6.--Lefty Lei
field, the Seals crack pitcher, is giving
Manager Del Howard some concern,
as up to date nothing has been heard
of the former big league star.
Leifield's home is in st. Louis, a
strong point of the Federal outlaws.
Some time back a dispatch came over
the wire that the Federal league was
dickering with Leifield, but no an
nouncement was made of Lefty sign.
ing with the outlaws.
AS it is about time for all players
of the Coast league to have their
contracts in, it is likely that Leifield
will be posted as a derelict in a fen
days.
Mordecai Brown, who is managing
the st. Louis club of the Federal
league, is a former Cub star, and he
knows the value of Leifield, as they
frequently opposed each other in
pitching duels when Leifield pitched
for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brown
was the star finger of the Chicago
National league club.
While Howard is confident that
Leifield will be with the Seals this
season, he would feel greatly re-
lieved if he were in possession of the
southpaw's contract.

Monday night, when he meets Knock
OUT Mars, the Cincinnati whirlwind.

local kid is doing his training at the

cording to the general opinion OF
Rock Island fans.
Already Schieberl is being touted as
the coming champion of the feather
weight division, and If he wins from
Mars Monday he will have a clear
field to go ahead for the title. A
challenge will then doubtless be
hurled at Kilbane, present bearer of
the featherweight crown.
Montana Trip Postponed.

there TO raise money for a team this
year. A meeting was held last night
I in the Manufacturers hotel in Moline,
attended by large delegation of fans,
and the proposition was discussed pro
and con at length. Several supporters
OF the national pastime in the Pillow
City. and those who are DESTROYS of
having league ball there this season.
have been out for the past two or
three days in an effort to raise money
by popular subscription to secure the
franchise from Kewanee. According
to the reports turned in by these So
licitors last night baseball is practic-
ally assured, as the business men and
fans have responded literally &c
finance the club.
Will Know Next Week.
BY the fore part of next week Mo-
line will know for a certainty whether
or not the Kewanee franchise is to be
secured. BY that time it is thought
that a sufficient amount of money will
have been signed so that definite pre-
parations for the coming season can
be started.
A park will. OF course. be necessary
and this will require a fairly large
sum, but it is to be remembered that
once a place to play is secured, it can
always be used, so that this invest
ment would doubtless prove a good
one. Rock Island now owns it's base
ball park, and the city will derive con-
siderable revenue from its rental each
season.
If Moline secures the franchise 1t
will be one of the largest cities in the
league.
Today about 100 subscription papers
are being circulated throughout Mo-
line in an effort to clean up the list by
night, and Monday or Tues |
day the fans will know whether or not |
there will be Central association ball |
this year for Rock Islands sister city. |
