BREAKS UP FIGHT
BUT IS W0RSTED
Clyde McCOnnvilIe Sustains Lacera
ti0ns On Scalp for Taking
Part of Peacemaker.
HEAD CUT WITH STOVE POkEI
Bartender in Verc0uter Saloon On
Fifth Avenue Pays S25 for
Saturday Night Assault.

There is in Rock Island today a
man named Clyde McConnville who
believes not in the principles for
which William Jennings Bryan, An
drew Carnegie and Henry Ford stand.
His head is swathed in bandages be-
cause he wanted TO be peacemaker in a
| fight which was staged in the saloon
of Julius Vercouter, 1924 Fifth ave-
nue., Saturday night.
Twice did a stove poker cut his
scalp. When he was taken to the po-
! lice station a doctor had to be sum
moned to dress the wounds. He never
lost consciousness, although the ply
stefan declared that the cuts were of
serious nature.
From the story the police have OF
the case the bar was lined with men.
/ Toughy Paulsen and Pete Fleming en-
| gagged in an alteration over some
! statement one made to the other, and
they stepped back from the bar and
! spared for a minute or two. McConn-
vile stepped between them, stopped
the fight and returned to his glass.
Paulsen then stepped outside Of the
saloon and left the door open. He in
vited Fleming outside, telling him he
could lick him on dime Fleming
did not accept the challenge.
Ed Verhiest was tending bar in the
place and McConnville asked Ferhiest
a question. Verhiest asked McConn-
Vile Who's running this place.?
Witnesses said that without wait
ing an answer, he struck McConnville
twice on the head with the poker and
that blood oozed forth from the
wounds. McConnville went outside
after the bartender refused to let MN
wash the blood from his head. He
called the police.
Verhiest was fined $25 and costs or
a charge of assault in police court to
dav. Charles of disorderly conduct

Paulsen and they will be given near

DEDICATE RIVER
DOCK AT ST.L0UIS
Missouri Town to Play Important Part
in Reyiying the River Trafiic on
the Mississippi.

Two events have occurred in St.
Louis within the last few days that
will be recorded as notable step
when the historyof the revived river
traffic has been written.
One of these steps was the dedlca >
ton of the city's temporary dock, at
the foot of O'Fallon street, the other
event being the arrival OF lnco No. /,
the first of the barges of the Inland
Navigation Co. President Howard OF
the Business Mems league, presided.
Governor Major of Missouri, Mayor
Kiel of st. Louis, A. l.. Shapleigh and
President Howard and John H. Bern
hard made the principal talks during
the ceremonies, which were attended
by about 200 members of the St. Louis
Business Mems league.
Mayor Kiel characterized the tenn
porary docks as the most important
forward step taken by Sr. Louis in a
quarter of a century. The temporary
docks are seven blocks north of the
to cost $2S5,0O0 will be established in
a few months at the foot of North
Mar ct street. Mayor kiel declared it
to be a civic duty on the part of St.
Louis shippers to send their products
by boats wherever possible. Mr.,
Shapleigh said that the new barges
are so different from the old wooden
boats that the conditions of shipping
are not to be compared. The new
barges are of steel, with water-tight
compartments. Governor Major de-
clared that waterways, highways and
railways, are all necessary to handle
the great commerce of the country.
The dedication of the docks, he said,
will lead to the plying Of flotilla of
boats of commerce on the Mississippi
with cargoes for South America and
the orient.

WOMEN Shrink
FROM MODESTY
Bear Griev0uS Ailments Rather Than
Make Condition Known.

The subject Of complaints peculiar
to women is a delicate one. yet il is a
plain duty to let these sufferers know
that most of the arrangements from
which they suffer are due primarily to
nervous debility.
Many suffering woman. Influenced
by shrinking modesty, has borne this
grieyous condition without complaint
rather than make a personal appeal.
When women say. Il am all run down,
so nervous and weak" that means
they are victims of the modern malady,
Such women, and they are legion
in every community. suffer from head
aches, backaches. loss Of appetite and
sleeplessness. Their spirits are al
ways depressed and their lives are not
the normally happy ones Of their more
fortunate sisters. Often, too, there are
spells Of nausea, weakness, or even
fainting, that make them feel insecure
and to wonder when they will be en-
barrassed or even in danger, because
Of their condition.
For such suffering women Tanlac,
the tonic, tissue builder. appetizer and
invigorant, is ideal Tanlac builds up
the system, promotes digestion and
proper assimilation of food, vitalizes
the blood and brings back healthy
color to the cheeks and real sparkle
TO the eyes.
Tanlac may now be obtained in Rock
Island at the Riess Drug Store, where
It's merits are fully explained-(Adv.)

The speaker showed the three
crosses were also a revelation of the
human heart, one sinner who was
hanged with Christ, cursing God any
dying and the other, blessing Him and
living. He then pointed out that the
heart of God was revealed on Calvary.
The supreme sacrifice for the redemp-
ton of the world was touched upon, as
showing the depth of Christ's love for
sin sick humanity.
Christ is a true leader" declared
Dr. Moody IN conclusion. He is not a
double dealer. His cross points four
ways, up to heavens high throne
down to the lowest sinner; back to the
beginning of time showing Christ's
place in history; forward to the

faithful"

WAS TOO MUCH FOR RASTUS
cohored Man Imagined He Saw Spooks

Touring in Maine may have its draw
backs on account of the rough roads,
but according to one man, there are
many funny incidents to break the mo-
notony OF bad highways.
We were on a dark, narrow road
one night, somewhere between Port
land and Lake Sebago," he said. The
road was covered with trees forming
a tunnel 1t was about half past
eleven and little foggy. A few yards
ahead there was a cemetery with faint
outlines Of the white tombstones show

the tolored man was seen to give one
convulsive leap and disappear back
down the road with the speed Of a
scared rabbit We had to stop the
car, turn the horse around and lead
him back to the village. We have ney-
er seen the driver since and can only
imagine that the nearness Of the
graveyard, the big binding search
lights and nerve-racking sound Of the
horn was too much for Rastus.'

". L. s. e. Presents Vitagraph BIue
HibbOn Feature, "A Night Out, .
Featuring Hgay Robson.
May Robson, one Of the most pop
ular actresses that ever appeared on
Broadway. is the latest to enter the
field OF motion pictures. She appears
in Vitagraph production-one splen-
didly suitable for her appealing and
graceful are OF character portrayal.
In "A Night Out" written in collaDo-
ration by Charles T. Dazey and her
self and produced by George d. Ba-
ker, she exhibits a girlish freshness
that is a graphic lesson to those wom-
en- who grow old berore their time.
Miss Robson is cast as a grandmother
who has been held in restraint all her
life and whose girlish impulses are
still checked by an austere daughter.
Her grandsons find in her real COM
panion and champion in defense Of
their boyish pranks. The boys love
the daughters of a neighbor, who Of
fers a ring TO the first couple mar
ried. Waldo, the son OF Jonas Dea-
con. president Of the Purity League,
steels the ring. The proprietor OF
cafe is forced to pay graft to DeasOn
and his failure to ''come across" leads
to raid by the police on the verS
night that grandmother and the two
boys sneak out for an evening Of en-
joyment. In the confusion Of the raid
grandmother drops her purse, but
manages to escape and reach home
without having her daughter learn Of
her escapade. The purse Identifies
the old lady, however, and when the
police call to investigate the cabaret
dancer to whom Waido has given the
ring exhibits that piece Of jewelry and
Waldo confesses, saving the two boys
from the charge against them. The
daughters love affair turns out DIS
astrously and she begs to come into
the kindly influence of grandmother.
Miss Robson in her portrayal Of
grandmother is forced to tango, toI
climb to the second story of house
and enter the window and to do many
other youthful feats that belle her ap-
preaching years. In other hands the
part would ave been burlesqued, bur
so finished Is Miss Robson's acting
that she makes the grandmother a
pleasing, lovabIe old lady, with whom
the audience will find itself thorough
ly in sympathy.

LESSON IN LIFE IN
NEW TRIANGLE PLAY

''Martha's Vindication," a new five
reel Triangle-Fin Arts release, cen
tains a welcome and rare variation Of
the much used theme of the betrayed
and deserted girl Mrs. Fiske appear
ed some seasons ago in a Norwegian
drama having the same variation
playing the part of a young woman
whose fisherman lover IS drowned be-
fore he can marry her, the bereave-
ment resulting in lasting disgrace to
her.
1t is curious that the plot should
be so little used, for, while in real life
most girls who go astray do so
through over-confidence in deceitful
young men. there are some who find
dishonor through sheer inability of
their lovers to wed.
Perhaps the motion picture is the
best medium yet discovered for con-
veying such lessons of virtue. 1t tells
searching truths without brutality or
offense.. And 1t is imperative that
these cases in point find expression,
