Fred D., and Misses Theresa and Min nie Sharon of this city, died at Liv ingston, Mont.. Wednesday- after an illness of several months. Deceased was one of the most widely known and popular jurists in the state. Last fall his health began to 'fail, and with a party of his friends he made a trip to Honolulu in a vain effort to retrieve it. Judge Savage was born in New York in 1S40. and moved to Montana when a voting man. loiter lie resided in Nevada, whrn he served two terms in the legislature. Twenty years ago he settled in Livingston, Mont., where he died. Yesterday at his home, 917 West Sixth street, occurred the death of John Carl Ferdinand Rodler, aged 80 years.

The plaintiff is Laura Evers a telephone operator, who was dis charged from the service of the de fendant company Jan. 1 of this year The plaintiff, who is represented by Attorney J. A. Hanley, alleges that when she was discharged by the chief operator, Mis Kmilv Jlout, she went directly to L. V. Hatch, the manager, to learn the wherefore. That gentle man said he could not discuss the mat ter with her, as it was of too delicate a nature. The plaintiff fifrt her alleges that the chief operator had made statements regarding her in which her period of illness preceding her dis charge hail been viciously miscon strued, thus leading to her unwar ranted discharge. Davenport employes will hold an important meeting this evening in the r oms of the Davenport Business Men's association. An invitation has b-en circulated among them, and they will gather to consider the formation of a Chi-?ens" Alliance, or Lmployers association. There are said to be over 1,000 such organizations in the United States, and their numler is increasing rapidly. The movement here is said to be an entirely spontaneous one, en couraged by the circulation of cir culars which give the objects of the results obtained bv such organizations in other cities, but no one has been here to work up the movement. It is quite possible, however, that the or ganization. if one is formed, will de cide to bring Frederick W. Job, seere tary of the Employers' association of Chicago, to Davenport, to tell Daven port employers what is being done in Chicago ami elsewhere. The whistle of the Mueller Lumber company's mill was heard yesterday in the west end. It summoned 175 men to work and at noon the saws were humming away as though it was springtime.

The annual meeting of the Iowa Telephone company held yesterday reelected the former officers and de cided to amend its articles of incorpo ration, changing the company's place of business from Davenport to Des Moines, and providing for the holding of the board meetings at any place in Iowa.

So far 48 claims have been proven up. amounting in all to about $14,000. The assets were in the neighborhood of $4,200. It is expected a small dividend amounting to about 5 per cent, will be declared later. The law compels a bankruptcy court to hold back a por tion of the proceeds for three months in case other creditors may put in an appearance. In case no more claims are proven up before the expiration of the three months, the present credi tors will receive another small divi dend. . Yesterday Clerk W. G. Noth issued a license to wed to Albino Walline and Miss Meka Carlson, both of Woodhull, 111. With the party was Rev. M. J.

THE PERPETUAL WAR There is always a fight going on in every human body between health and dis ease. On one side are poor food, bad air, over-work, worry, colds, accidents. On the other are sunshine, rest, cheerfulness and nourish ment.

MOLINE MENTION The ice on the river broke about a mile east of the city yesterday and floated down between the island and the Iowa shore, where it gorged. A patch of river about a mile long was cleared, but the moving ice was unable to get past the island on account of the ice remaining between Rock Island and Davenport. It is probable that the remainder of the ice in the rapids will break soon. Six M-jline policemen yesterday af ternoon attended the funeral of Desk Sergeant Alfred Emil Tilebein. of Dav enport, and formed part of the guard of honor which escorted the remains to the grave. F. Borgolte, the architect, has open ed an office in the Ford building on Fifteenth street. The concrete walls of the large tanks at the waterworks are receiv ing their last going over preparatory to starting the filter plant permanent ly. The water was turned into the tank a few days ago in order to dampen the walls so that cement might be used to plaster up the places . where the concrete had be come damaged while the pipes were being installed. The pipes, which were placed under pressure for the first time Monday, stood the test well and no extra work to speak of will be necessary to place them in lirst class condition. There were a few minor leaks in the concrete walls of the large tanks, but these have been repaired. Filtered water is promised within a few days, and if the people of the city will exercise a little pa tience their hopes of securing pure water will be realized. C. F. Nichols, a machinist at New- Shops, escaped the the loss of-an eye by a very close margin yesterday.

You worry over it till the brain grows weary and work with it until the patience is exhausted, and the very sight of the old festering, sickly looking, place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate. A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate non-healing sores of the most offensive character. Often an inherited tain t breaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will never Heal permanently till the blood itself Has been purified and the deadly germs and poisons destixyed, and with S. S. S. this can be accomplished the S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood idbrdet and at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general health. If you have a chronic sore write us. No charge for medical advice. 17r SWIFT SPLCIFia CO., a tlamta. cju A Word to Suff erersf rom Disease The age of miracles has past. We know that everything moves by what the scientists call immutable laws. They are unvarying from everlasting to everlasting. These laws rule alike theheavenly spheres and the actions of spheres. Man is particularly sus ceptible to infractions of these laws and the usual result is disease or in jury or death. It is a law- that if you overeat that you will suffer. It is a law that if you fall down in front of a moving train you will suffer.
