FINE IMPROVEMENT ON HESS BROS.' STORE The store at lfi20 Second avenue occupied by the grocery firm of Hess Bros, is now "bright as a new pin after the cxtensiv changes that have leeu made in the front and in terior. The total amount exeiided upon the store by Peter Tries, the owner, and by Hess llros. is over $mmi nnij-the result Is a place of busi ness that for convenience and up-to-date appointments is second to none in the three cities. The first change noticed by the casual observer is the remodeling of the front giving an increased depth of the display windows from five to eight feet. Next in importance is the change in the office from the main floor to a gallery at the rear tf the house, giving about a quarter more floor space. The office is con nected with the counters by a cash carrier system. Two new show cases have been installed anil a row of new bins built along the west side of the room. The windows have been pro vided with incandescent lights. The walls and ceilings have Iwen papered and all th? woodwork painted a bright English vermillion giving the interior a bright and attractive ap pearance in keeping with the improv ed facilities of the place.

The doctors were busy vaccinating young and old and a number of houses were fumigated, but the cases of Marshall Kennedy in South Heights ami Miss Alice Day. who was rt-moved late in the afternoon yesterday to the hos pital at the west end of the city, have been the only ones reported to the health authorities and the latter express considerable, confidence in their ability to hold the disease in chock. In the case of Miss Day it has been found that, infection was the result of dancing with a Davenport young man while he was in the early stages of the disease, at a party in Le C laire. It is thought likely that other cases will develop Ui Davenport. A Cur. for I. a mtui.ro. "Some time ago mv daughter caught a severe cold. She complain ed of pains in her chest and had n bad cough. I ga-e her Chamber- Iain's Cough Remedy according to di rectiqw- and in' two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy In my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says James Pren dergast, merchant, Annato Hay, Ja maica, West India Islands. The pain3 in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded oil by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. Sold by al druggists. PEOPLE GENERALLY CONDEMN ., NEGLECT OF GENERAL CONDITIONS It has always been the aim of the rgus to avoid the least tendency to ward the pessimistic spirit in the dis cussion of matters pertaining to pub lic policy. There is no inclination to waver In this respect in adding a word -to the expressions ot depreca tion voiced on every hand over the shocking disease-breeding condition of the main thoroughfares of the city, at the present time. During the past two days the neglected accumu lations of weeks have been lifted by gusts of wind' and blown into the eyes, nostrils and lungs of people along the streets, thus sowing the seeds of illness and working hardship only secondary to the public health by penetrating the store of the mer chant and damaging his wares. In a general sense this experience but adds example to the ' illustration of the Incompetency of the present head of munipical affairs that so frequent ly ertips out when occasion offers for the exercise. of administrative ability. Another evidence of gross careless ness in the exercise of judgment de veloped yesterday in the handling of the smallpox case on Eleventh street, and while nothing should be said that might precipitate needless alarm, the practice should not be re peated. - BOTH ON SAME DAY Plans for Observance of McKin ley and Lincoln Anniver saries on Feb. 12 IN EOCK ISLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS Children to be Asked for Contribu tions to Monument ' Fund. i Supt. H. U. Hayden, of the city schools, is conferring with his prin cipals in the different buildings with a view of joining the observances of McKinley's birthday, which is Jan. 29, with that of Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 12. The latter date appears to be fa vored as the one upon which to give the exercises. In this the local scholos are following the plan as contemplated in the general move ment throughout the country. This will also be the time when children will be given an opportunity to contribute to the fund being rais ed toward a memorial monument. The McKinley Memorial association, headed by Judge W. II. Day, of Can ton, Senator llanna and others, has been . formed to collect a national fund with which to build a memorial at Washington. The op"rtunity for Kock Island school children to give will be offered at this time. The contributions are limited to 10 cents. Amount Itulsed In Illinois. Alexander H. Kevell. chairman of the Illinois auxiliary of the McKinlev National Memorial association, re ports subscriptions to the monument fund to date of $2.".i:iil.07. -This is an increase of about $5,IM)0 since the last report, indicating that interest in the memorial . movement in the state is still active. It is expected that a cli max will le reached Jan. 20, the an li i versa ry of the president's birthday which is to 1m recognized as McKin lev day throughout the country. On the Sunday previous it is expected that memorial services will be held in all of the churches of the state, ami voluntary contributions made for the national monument. Several ministers associations 'already have passed resolutions for the observa tion of the occasion, and a letter in reference to the subject is being sent out by Mr. IJevell to every clergyman in the state. Special exercises will be held in the schools on Jan. 20, and collections taken up, outside of Chicago, where the school children already have con tribnted. for the fund.
