white men and another negro In the
alley at the rear of 823 East Fifth

8hot Victim Recovering. Reports
from the physicians attending John
Cerlln, who was shot by Charles Wil
liams, the negro, are to the effect that
he will probably recover. An X-ray
photograph from the examination
made Wednesday shows the bullet to
be located back of the ear at the
baBe of the brain. A fraction of an"
Inch highr and tne bullet probably
would have caused death. Whether

an operation will be decided at
a later date. At proFcnt the bullet
does not wm to give Mr. Carlin much
trouble and In cane he continues to

that a bone handled knife is more di

"Martlnek Is getting along nicely and
has every chance to recover." reports
Dr. Daniel P. Teter, superintendent of
the hospital where Martinek Is now
confined. "The articles were found in
one mass in his stomach and had caus
ed an ulcer to form. It was this that
had caused the man's trouble. Dr.
Beck had been urging him for two
years to submit to an operation," but
he declined until a few days ago.
"Martlnek says he thought nothing
of swallowing a Jack-knife or a knife
blade In years gone by, and that the
articles never bothered him until a
few yeara ago, when he began to suffer
from pains in his abdominal region.
Ho was always able to be about."

His injuries which were very painful
are not so serious as first feartd.
Johnson Whole Works. C. V. John
eon, commissioner of accounts and
finance, found himself supporting a
heavy load yesterday. The weight of
the city rested on bis shoulders. The
mayor was in Galesburg and Commis
sioners Anderson, Jahns and Eastman
were in attendance at the Upper Mis
sissippi River Improvement associa
tion convention. With these officials
absent from the city, Mr. Johnson was
mayor pro tern, and at the head of the
police and fire departments.
Runaways Caught. A trip to this
city In a cattle car and the disillu
sioning of their hopes of making a
fortune of peddling bills in Davenport
at $1.50 a day, were all the world that
two runaway waifs from Chicago
cared to see. Yesterday mor.iing at
the police station they declared them
selves ready to return to the tubercu
losis department of the Cook county
hospital at Oak Forest and endure
the ill treatment which they claim as
their reason for having run away from
the Institution Vhere they had been
patients for the last three months.
Names and addresses given the po
lice are Roy McCarthy, 1231 Ada
street, and William Pranksy, 1520 Fi
lerton avenue, both of Qiicago. Roy
gave his age aa 14 and that of his com
panion 13. Both, especially William,
look considerably younger. Roy has
the appearance of being a rugged and
healthy chap though, according to his
story, he Is listed at the hospital as
having but one lung.
We go to Bohemia for hops; one of our partners
selects the barley; water is brought from rock 1400

Not only is Schlitz every drop of it filtered through
white wood pulp, but even the air in which it
is cooled is filtered.
Before it is offered to you it is aged for
months in glass enameled tanks. It will not, it
cannot cause biliousness. It will not ferment
in your stomach.
Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark
glass gives the best protection against light. The
Brown Bottle protects Schlitz purity from the
brewery to your glass.
More and more people every year are demanding
Schlitz. Why don't you demand this pure beer ?
See that croum or cork
is branded "Schlitz."
