years ago, are still as fresh as il they

Thyme for Whooplna Cough.

According to a German medical
journal preparations OF thyme have
long been advocated for whooping
cough. Thyme grows in certain re-
gions of the old world, and prepara-

derivatives Of thymin (the active prin-
ciple of thyme) have been used In diff

One combination comprises herb Of
thyme and the so-called "pilka"-a
herb which grows wild in the same
parts of the world. If this compound

A 17-year-old boy this morning sat
before Chief of Police James Brinn and
stated that he had left his home near
Madison, Wis. to earn money for his
parents, one OF whom was an invalid.
The boy gave his name as Harry
Monroe and said that he left home
FIVE months ago. since then having
worked as often as he could and
scraped and saved that he might aid
his father and mother.
He showed hands that were hard
with callouses and in answer to the
chief said that while portion OF the
rough skin may have come from cling
ing TO brake rods on trains. yet it was
mostly the result of hard manual
labor.
He said he was bound for Savanna,
Ill, where he hoped to secure a perma-
nent position on a farm, and claimed
that he had worked enroute enough to
gain him a living and still lay aside
pennies for his father and mother.
The police are holding him to in

DAY IN DA NEWPORT
Anniversary Of Mercy Hospitai.-A

Anniversary Of Mercy Hospitai.-An
impressive service and ceremony was
held in the chapel at Mercy hospital
in honor of Mother Superior Frances
Mulholland of Chicago, who establish
ed Mercy hospital in Davenport al
most so years ago, and Mother Baptist
Martin for over IL years superior at
the hospital and well known and be-
loved by many Davenporters. Rev.
Father Harmon, vice president of st.
Ambrose college, celebrated the mass
at o'clock and gave an address which
went back to the founding of the
Sisters of the Order of Mercy in the
18th century. He spoke of the estab-
lishment in this country of the order
some 100 years ago when it was
brought from Ireland. He told of the
need which brought it into existence,
in the war with the Moors of Spain,
and he identified its work in this
country with the Civil war, in which
its members had taken their place in
caring for the sick and wounded. He
referred to the auxiliary of the A. o.
II. and to the proposed erection OF
the monument in Arlington cemetery.
Washington, which will be finished
next October, and which will be erect
ed to the Sisters, who devoted their
lives to blessing the sick and wounded
in the war. Mother Frances was su-
perior to a band of 40 sisters of Mercy
who came west as nurses during the
Civil war. She assigned the sisters
to the various camps, having come
with General Mulligan's Irish brigade.
She later came to Davenport and was
put in charge of Mercy hospital. Sis
ter Baptist brought the necessaries to
the hospital camps. these being sent
out by Chicago women. Owing to the
fact that 80 per cent of the sisters who
served during the Civil war were
nurses, the auxiliary of the A. o. H.
became interested in the movement.
Two beautiful wreaths were placed on
the graves of the two sisters.

History of Towns
In War Territory

Washington, Sept 26.-Following Is
primer of today's war geography:
Lissa-The outermost island of the
Dalmatian archipelago, surrounded by
| q wall Of rock. It's chief towns are
Lissa and Comisa- The former has a
strongly fortified harbor and contains
the palace of the old Venetian count
Garibaldi, a little to the east Of the
ruins of the ancient city of Issa- The
town of Lissa has a population OF
about 1000. A colony was introduced
at Issa by the Parians, assisted by
i Dionysius the Elder of Syracuse in
the fourth century B. c. During the
Napoleonic wars the French held Lissa
until 1911, when the French-Venetian
squadron was defeated by the British
off the coast. The second naval bat
tie of Lissa was fought between the
Austrian and Italian navies in July,
1866, the former being victorious.
Odessa-The fourth city of Russia in
size and foreign trade, at the north
west angle of the Black Sea, the sea-
port for the basins of the Dneiper and
Dniester, half way between the estu-
aries. The city is built on a terrace
100 to 155 feet in height. Catacombs
extend underneath the town and sub
urbs It's population In 1910 was 49,
900. 1t is estimated that no less than
35, 900 are living from hand to mouth
in the utmost misery, partly in the ex-
tensive catacombs. Grain is the chief
article of export. In 1854 the town was
unsuccessfully attacked by the Anglo
Russian fleet and in 1857 by the
Turks. In 1905-06 was the scene of vio-
lent revolutionary disorders.
Madras-The chief seaport on the
eastern coast of India, which extends
nine miles along the sea and nearly
four miles inland. Its population in
1911 was 51S,660. The city has several
buildings of architectural pretensions
and many spots of historical interest.
The harbor is not safe during a cy-
clone and vessels have to put out to
sea.
nes-En-Argonne-A little town
of the Aire River in northeast France,
Is miles northwest of Verdun, which
claims fame from the fact that Louis
XVI. was arrested here on his flight
from Paris in June, 1871. He was
taken back to the constitutional and
maintained as a constitutional king.

MOTION IS MADE
TO DISMISS CASE
Attorneys for Aunt in Lyness
Dependency Matter Take
New Attitude.
CONTEMPT SUIT is HELD UP
Judge oIrsted Intimates Lenieney II
Action in Lower Court Is
Withdrawn.

The legal battle which has been
waged in the circuit and county courts
here over the possession OF little Alice
Lyness. 12-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Olive Eckhart OF Huston, MINI, is in
status quo today.
Following Judge R w Olmsted's de-
cision on the second application for a
writ of habeas corpus in circuit court,
in which he ordered Sheriff o. L. Bru-
ner TO turn the child over to the
mother. Judge B. s. Bell in county
court issued a new warrant. on which
the girl was taken from the mother and
turned over to Mrs. Mary McAllister,
pending the outcome of the dependency
hearing Oct l.
Thus the mother. although twice
awarded the child by order of the cir
cult court, was forced to give up the
girl and the situation was such that,
although the higher court had given
what relief it could to the mother, the
object over which all the litigation
started, had not been secured, namely
the custody of the child.
Motion TO Dismiss.
Yesterday afternoon, Judge Olmsted
suggested to attorneys for Miss Flor
ence Lyness and her counsel. Charles
s Roberts. cited for contempt in con
nection with the proceedings in county
court, that II they desired to act in
good faith, the dependency petition in
county court would be dismissed and
intimated that when this was done. the
court would be inclined TO deal leni-
emily in the contempt case
Attorney Shallberg thereupon filed in
county court a motion for dismissal,
but Judge Bell was not in court and
what action he will take is problemati-
cal Attorney ShalIberg reported in
circuit court this morning that he had
talked over the telephone TO Judge Bell
and that the jurist stated he would not
be in court until Monday. Judge Ohm
sted Is therefore waiting the disposi-
ton of the dependency proceeding be-
fore acting in the contempt case which
will not be taken until Monday.
Should Judge Bell not care TO dis
miss the dependency case. believing
that all the facts should be inyestigat-
ed, IL is expected he will allow Mary
McAllister to retain the custody of the
girl until Oct. l. II is more than likely
that If this is done Attorney Weld for
the mother will ask for a change of
venue which will mean that an outside
Judge will have to hear the issues.
Where Is chId7
In the meanwhile no one knows
where the child is. She is with Mary
McAllister. but whom she is or where
she resides is a mystery II was stated
on good authority yesterday she was
relative, but Attorney Weld says this
cannot be because his client. the |
mother. does not know her. Until the
mother can get possession OF her
daughter, she has gained but little /
advantage through the favorable deci- !
sions OF the circuit court
