DAVENPORT BURGLARS IN
$500 ROBBERY ESCAPE

In spite of the precautions taken
by the police of the tri-cities, robbers
continue their nightly Jobs" with
regularity. Sometime early Sunday
morning burglars broke into ]. J. Ry-
ans Plumbing and Heating establish
ment, 4O3 Brady street, Davenport,
and departed with over $500, $500 OF
this amount being in checks and the
remainder in currency.
Entrance into the office was secured
by prying the lock from the door, and
later the robbers worked the combin-
alton on the safe, securing the money.
They also went through all of the
desks in the room, and the contents
we're thrown about in confusion when
the bookkeeper opened up at Z o'clock
yesterday. Police are of the opin-
ion that experienced yeggs did the
work, or someone that was at least
familiar with the combination o: the
safe.
The jinx seems to be after Jerry
Ryan, the proprietor of the shop, in
earnest. Two weeks ago his book
keeper was arrested for embezzling
$500. Several months ago his Over
land touring car was stolen and recov-
cred in Kansas, Ryan being forced to
steal his own car to get it back.

The secretary declared that the de-
partment of agriculture can merely
assist, and said: THE increasing of
the efficiency of agriculture and the
betterment of rural life will be
brought about by the people in the
country themselves. There is no field
of endeavor in modern American life
which demands leadership of the pro-
per kind more than rural life
Among the chaperons of the party
were Mrs. Atlee Pomerene, wife of
the Ohio senator; Mrs. T. p. Riddle
of Lima, and Mrs. A. c. Sandles of

among the most successful corn

Kidney and Bladder Trouble
Causes Great Distress

1t gives me great pleasure to recon-
mend DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to any
one suffering from bladder trouble.
For four years l was troubled by
hemorrhages from the bladder and was
not able to get any doctor who could
help me. l was in such shape that
sleep at night was impossible on &C
count of distressing symptoms. While
bending over l would be stricken with
such pain that it was impossible for
me to straighten up. Mr.. Henry, one
of our leading druggists, advised Dr.
Kilmer's SwampRoot; although l new
er had any faith in patent medicines,
as last resort l purchased a dollar
bottle of Swamp-Root. i noticed a de-
cided change and after using two
bottles l was completely cured. 1t
seemed remarkable that / should be
cured so quickly after being i'll so long
But since this took place nearly two
years ago, / have never been troubled
and would highly advise any one suf-
fering from the same trouble to at
least give Swamp-Root a trial and |
think the results will be the same as
mine.

business is being intertered VITA
through the activity Of the city adj
ministration, and asking that a re

ton was filed by Judge Afford.
1t is claimed in the suit that
through the enforcement Of the Petlit
ordinance which prohibits autos and
carriages from making stand on
Central avenue from Reserve to
Bridge streets, the restaurant bust
ness he operates is made to suffer be
cause patrons who ride up in autos
or carriages may not have their con
veyances left there until they have
finished their meals.
The matter OF relieving iowcr Cen
tral avenue had been subject OF
consideration in the city council for
some months, until the Petit ord
nance was presented. That ordinance
makes it proibitive for any vehici,
to be stood" along that two blocks
The substance of the Petit ordinance
i in measure hinged upon the cast
to be decided in court, as to tA'
validity of the ordinance.
