Dr. Branch did not use a knife, but put on a salve which drew out the cancer. The principal cure was effected by some internal remedy, which Dr. Branch says kills the can cer germ, and which "has proven true in Mr. Young's case, for he was cured in 10 days. No scar remains and the cure is permanent." Dr. Uriah Branch's office is No. 14 East Seventh street, St. Paul.

ConV.mied from Fifth pat;e. excels any team I have seen play this year, in the variety or her play ana tn the suap with which she gets them off. Her backs arc exceptionally strong and assist each other splendidly. Griffith's spectacular run was as good a bit of individual work as has been done on a western gridiron." Six hundred people came from Iowa City. Many were also present from Peoria, Galesburg and other cities. At least one person was injured in the crush of humanity at the entrance before th game began, W. II. Cam per, of 741) Twenty-third, street sus taining a fracture of the right ankle. He was attended by Dr. S. C. PI u miner. A rumor that evidently started in Davenport was in circulation today that A. M. Wadsworth. Illinois' quar terback, who was injured in yester day's game, had died. There is no doubt that Wadsworth was severely hurt, but he recovered sufficiently to be able to attend a smoker at Moline last night. He left on the midnight Rock Island train for his home in En glewood. A telephone query to Champaign this afternoon failed to confirm the news of Wadsworth. The Illinois players were enter tained at a smoker and athletic enter tainment at the Moline club last night. A feature was a go between Henry Birnian and Rufus Phrenix, the latter colored, rhonix was knocked out in the first round. The Illiuoisans left for home this morning. The lowans were entertained at the Salt club dancing party, at Library hall, Davenport. Ad rant aces of Location Shown. Both teams were much gratified with the attendance, and joined in pro nouncing it as fine a football audience as they had ever played before. The great success of the day in this par ticular demonstrated the advantage of Rock Island as a central point for at tractions of this aa well as other kinds, and it is not unlikely .that as far as Iowa C:ty is concerned its annual Thanksgif ing game will be played in this city. Its location conld not be improved upon in point of con venience to the Iowa boys and their friends, while being the center city of the three cities it draws equally from the ether two. which is an important consideration, especially for a holiday afternoon event. Another thing, thei people here are now becoming more familiar with the great college gantvi and their increasing interest will therefore l. more manifest each year. The resnlt of the game ought to be particularly gratifying to the hutliug and popular manager of the lowa team, J-red Met, utcheon. whose en ergy and good judgment brought the contest here, and whose affable dispo sition has won many friends here for the Iowa boys as well as for himself. Yesterday" morning the High school elevens of Iowa City and Moline High schools met at the I weitth street park. Score: Iowa City, 16; Moline, 0. " THE WIZARD OF CONLIN." New Book by Thomas Edwin Smith, of This City. "The Wizard of Conlin," a politi cal novel by Thomas Edwin Smith, a Rock Island writer, is a story of current interest in these stirring days of politics. It is, moreover, a book outside the beaten track ot storv-telling. and. whatever its lit erary faults may be, it reveals a realistic picture of love ana intrigue allied with political ambition. Mr. Smith, who is also the author of "Political Truth," as will be re membered, wields a trenchant pen in the field that deems to best engage his talents as a writer. Certainly his new book, which has for its full title "The Wizard of Conlin; a Tale of an Election." shows an intimate ac quaintance with the ways of the world, to say the least, ana will be read and judged upon its merits as a story along original lines. Tne characters in the book are strongly drawn, especially those of Richard Parks, the millionaire politi cal boss of a western city; Albert Scott, a rising young lawyer, who though deeply in love with Margaret Parks, daughter of the millionaire, is her father's bitterest opponent and the leader of the Anti-Corporation party; and the man Vale, a subservi ent tool of Parks, whofoullv murders Editor Mason. It will be seen that the story is not only sensational in character, but it also has directness of purpose, and holds the render's attention to its tragic ending. As an example of style we quote the following passages descriptive of election in the city of Conlin: "Election day: And a perfect, aay at that. The sun shone with the brightness of a political ringmaster's countenance after he has succeeded in making a lot of thick-headed, hide-boand partyites believe some thing glaringly false and inconsistent. and which his hearer s know to be so. "The streets were lined with excited voters and heelers and cool, designing politicians. "The party wheel-horses, who had managed to Iigure somehow thtt no election could be conducted without their aid and advice, were to be found on various street corners. "Drnnkon men, gamblers, and other vicious individuals, were also greatly in evidence and in much de mand, as is always the case when the people are contending for supremacy against a dangerous and oppressive faction or law, and the proverbial good fellow,' who is capable of polling more votes than any other one man, was to bo seen at every turn. 'Then, too, numerous prominent citizens and notorious saloonkeepers wee frequently to be seen conniving together, and the black man and the millionaire shook hands and ex changed pleasantries with the freedom and familiarity of life-long friends. "As a maUer of course, working men especially were sought by the money-changers, and though election time is the oniy period of the year when class and mass distinction goes unobserved and no one knows it lietter than the common people many of the poor fools prided them selves as having been exceptionally honored when they were tendered a cheap cigar, a ride to the polls, or had a piece of silver slyly slipped into their palms, accompanied by an in struction as to how they should vote." The book has a strikingly attractive paper cover, and "The Wizard of Conlin," as a story of its kind, cer tainly bears the stamp of novelty, and will appeal to a large class ot readers. It will be placed on sale at all news stands within a few days, and its price is 25 cents. Visitation Academy.

Services at the Various Churches Draw Large Congregations, the Offering at the I'nioa Meeting; at the Central Presby terian Itelns Donated to Charily El J- qoent Sermon by Kev. C. O. MeCnlloch . Rock Island people could not have asked for a more perfect Ihanksglv ing day. The weather, although a trifle warm during the earlier part of the day, with old 6ol shining forth in all his glorv, was tempting to those who are wont to remain indoors of a holiday, and the consequence was the parks "and favorite walks of the city were alive with humanity throughout the day, the lovliness of which was not marred until du.-k, when a driz zling rain came, and continued until late in the evening. Religious services attracted large congregations at Trinity Episcopal, St. Joseph's, St. Mary's and Sacred Heart Catholic and Central Presby terian churches. At the latter the evangelical denominations of the city joined in a union ob servance at 10:30. Rev. C O. Mc Culloch, of the First Methodist, de livered the sermon. His theme was Lower and Higher Lives of Thanks giving. It was an elo.iuent aud im pressive discourse. A number of ministers participated in the service. Rev. Ira W. Allen. Jr.. the pastor of the church, presided anil pronounced the invocation; Rev. T. W. Grafton, of Memorial Christian, led the re sponsive reading; Rev. George B. Simons, of the First Baptist, read the service lesson; Rev. W. S. Marquis, of Broadway Presbyterian, gave the" opening prayer.and Rev. D. L. McNary, of the United Presbyterian, said the benediction. The collection amounted to $24.65 which was donated to the Associated Charities. At the Salvation army barracks last night there was a special seric3 con ducted by Capt. J. G. McGee, in con nection with which there was an un veiling -of a cross and Magdalene crown. Owing to the failure of the stage tire to work properly, the enter tainment was not satisfactory to Capt, McGce.and it will be repeated tonight and will be free to those who were present last evening. Aiuucecnecls Liberally Patronized. All amusements were. well patron ized, the foothall game, or course. being the chief attraction, while the theatre, poultry show and roller skat ing rink each came in for a liberal shape of patronage.
