LOSES AN AUTOMOBILE PARTY. Says He Will Cover the DhUanee Prom New York to San Pranclsco on His TV heel In Two Month Comes In on the Rock Island Road Ties Strike Bad Stretches of Country. Tired and dusty, and wearing "a uniform of the Postal Telegraph com pany. Messenger Boy Albert V. Roe reached Rock Island today. Although Roe has but one arm he made the trip from .New lock to this city in rood time and expects to break the record awheel from New York to San Fran cisco, feeling conltdent that he will reach his destination within two months. Roe was a forlorn looking sight when he alighted from his bicy cle. His bronze complexion gave evi dence of much hard work in a warm climate. "Mv ride, or rather walk. from Michigan City to Chicago was the greatest hardship 1 encountered thus far on my trip," said he. "When I started out on this journey I did not bargain for a walk over the country, but the sand hills in Michigan were too much for me, and I had my own troubles in getting over them. It was impossible for me to wheel, and of course 1 bad to walk. My feet are very sore, but aside from this I must say that I am in good physical contli tion." loung Roe left ew loik at the same time the automobile party left for a trip to San Franci-co, but the party could not keep up the pace with him and he lost them at Syra cuse. Roe travels on a wheel especi ally made for him. In the center of the handlebar there is a grip which helps him in steering his wheel, and a bar to the right of this grip gives him additional leverage when he needs it. Fnrnlnhed New Clothing. Roe left Chicago Tuesday fitted out with an entire new suit furnished him by the company there, as his clothing was in tatters when he reached that citv. He had a tough time of it Wednesday. The roads were mudily and heavy and he was compelled to walk alongside his wheel the greater part of the day. Yesterday he struck the Rock Island road's track and rode the ties into Moline, where he regis tered shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. He visited the Moline oflice and then came on to Rock Island, where an order for $10 was awaiting him. "Another $10?" said Roe to Mana ger Sheldon, who took the order off the wire. "The company is certainly good to me. I get one of them at nearly every town I strike." Roe rested a few moments and then resumed his journey. He has rela tives at Grinnell, Iowa, where he will visit. Roe savs he is 19 years of ago. He naid he never traveled at night. "But I suppose its pretty lonesome way out west there," he said, laughing, as he started for his wheel, "and if you hear of 'em finding a dead one on the road some day don't be surprised to find that it is" me." Mrs. Harper's Funeral. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Har per was held at 10 o'clock this morn ing at vvitchwood, btuart Harper's home, in South Rock Island, Rev. W. S.

Grain-O sids digestion and strengthens the nerves. It is not a stimulant, but a health builder, and children, as well as adults, can drink it with great benefit.
