DAVENPORTER IN A ROPE TRAGEDY Hans Joachims, Former Saloon keeper, Hangs Himself in a Barn. Despondent because of Ul health. Hans Joachims, nearly 70 years old. tied a clothes line to a rafter, In a barn located between Seventh and Eighth streets near Division. Daven port, at noon yesterday and leaped off a box stall. His neck was broken Joachims resided at 1612 1-2 West Pleasant street. Foe some time past the aged man bad been morbid and had repeatedly expressed to close friends his in ten FACE A SIGHT WITH ERUPT ON RESINOL CURED Philadelphia, Ta., Dee. 8, 1313 1 T had a am ail pimple on the side of my face, and it- kept getting larger and larger. It bad spread over one cheek, and as it would spread water would eome from it and every place the wa ter would touch, another sore would form. It itched and burned and my face was a aiffbt. I used several salves and ointments that were recommended, but none helped, until I tried Reainol Soap and Resinol Ointment, which re lieved me at onee, and after using it about two weaka, my face was entirely clear. I cannot praise Raainol enough. (Signed) Mrs. Boee ilulier, 1313 Bor der Ave. Fhvsieiani have prescribed Raainol for nineteen years and every drupgiat sella Beeinol Soap (25c.), and Raainol Ointment (50c. and 1).

He was work ing for his son-in-law Mr. Behrens who resides nor far 'from the farm where the Buicide occurred. When a teamster, H. G. Johnson, en tered the barn about 12:30 o'clock, he saw the inert body of the aged man suspended from the rafter. He called an officer and Joachims was cut down. He was dead, how ever, and all efforts to revive him were futile. He had been dead but a few minutes. Mr. Joachims had retired from ac tive business about p. year ago on ac count of poor health. Prior to his retirement he was employed at the Rock Island arsenal. For many years he conducted a saloon in Davenport and before that a farm north of DaV' enport. He is survived by the widew, Mrs. "Anna Joachims and seven children. Mrs. Emma Behrens, Mrs. Anna Ot ten, Mrs. Mary Trobmann and John Will, Hans, Jr., and Herman Joachims, all of Davenport. The Poetic Tennysona. No other family has within two gen erations produced eo many poets as the Tennysons. All the laureate's brothers wrote poems, and both his sons published verses in Macmillan's Magazine, though they did so anony mously, "It was a curious fact," wrote Alexander Japp in 1902. "that the Ten nyson family, every male member of which wrote verse, and successfully, should have so far abstained from pub lishing at all. as if they disliked the idea of coming into competition with the great poet. Specimens of the work of Lionel and Hal lam Tennyson will be found in 'Poets and Poetry of the Century.' and I may add that these nieces were sent to me by the old poet himself In a letter now before me, with such words as most certainly show Ahat he did not share the feeling of Soott thanking God that his sons showed no poetic symptoms." rcatimated that an average puff of mnkA from a clgaret contains about four thousand million particles of dust A single grain of tndico will Impart color to a ton ot water, MANY ENTRIES IN CLASSESATSHOW Fanciers Say That They Never Have Seen Better Exhibit Than at Davenport. Chicken fanciers of this city and vicinity who have poultry on exhibi tion at the annual show of the Mis sissippi Valley Fanciers' association, at the Coliseum in Davenport, say that the birds which take honors at the exposition will certainly be prize winners in every sense of the word. Some who won at former shows did, not get a place this year, and the rea son is that in each class there are such a large number of entries that many are left out. Some of the fanciers say that they have never witnessed a show where finer coultry was displayed. In one class of Rhode Island Reds there are 17 entries. The first day of the show was a suc cess. There was a Dig crowa at me Coliseum last night. & Hiuxi suuuui mui.E. ii Manager A. G. Hill of the local high school has arranged three games for the Islander's basketball quintet, two of which will have to be cancelled on account of the junior and senior class parties that are dated for the same times as the basketball contests. Mr. Hill was unaware of the social affairs planed and so scheduled games with Alexis and Aledo will be annulled. Hill planned on having three bas ketball contests before Christmas, the games and the dates being as fol lows: ' Dec. 4 Rock Island vs. Alexis at Rock Islsnd. Dec. 11 Rock Island vs. Aledo, at Rock Island. Dec. 18 Rock Island vs. Alumni, at Rock Island. Only one of the above will take place, that one being the Alumni con test. Earl Chalk, captain of last sea son's high school basketball five; will no doubt captain the grads. A meeting of the board of control of the local high school Athletic associa tion, composed of A. B. Hill, Oscar Achtahagen and Ellsworth Burch of the faculty, and Robert Ackley, Vivian Thomas, and Bliss Rinck of the stu dent body, was held today. The nam ing of the men who earned their let ters in football, took place. The "let ter" men are: Edgar James, Frank Looby Joel Nichols, Will Culley, Ray Criswell, Robert Ackley, Ardo Gaet Jer, Arthur Hinkley, Fay Reeves, Leo Wagner, William Gleason, Clifford Whlsler, Leslie Johnson, Solomon But ler, Meyer Morris, Bliss Rinck and Vivian Thomas. "Grid Iron Braves." the new song which was composed by John W. Casto and Virginia Ballard of the high school faculty, was heard for the first time by the assembled students yesterday in general essembly. On the cover are the pictures of all of the letter men of the season, together with those of Coach H. N. Roe. Man ager A. Q. HUL Mr. Casto, Miss Bal lard and Captain Hinkley of the team. A. G. Hill of the local high school, announces that the molding equip ment for the molding classes has ar rived at the manual arts building and that classes in this branch will be started after the Thanksgiving holi days. He also stated that the cupolas are lined and are now ready for use. An earthern floor of clay was put in the molding room by the high school boys, who worked unusually hard, tamping, rolling and sanding the floor. Mr. HU1 also states that the boys' wood turning classes have turned out six dozen rolling pins for the domes tic science classes under Miss F. E. Blaster. The pins that were included in the equipment for this department proved too large so smaller ones were made. The Chinese army of nearly a mil. lion men, is said to be in such sore straits that it may have virtually to disband, because of the government's inability to negotiate a new loan. China has a great past as a nonmili tary nation. Perhaps its future de velopment on the same desirable basis may be helped by the present state of things. It may be China's lot to show that a nation can be great without a great military force back of It. IMF
