Merriman of Moline lost a pocket case
containing more than $1,500 worth of

SLIPPED FROM POCKET.
Mr. Merriman explaining his pres
ence about the stables after dark said
he was very much interested in
horses. He said he thought, the case
slipped from his pocket when he
bent down to pick up a pencil. He

wunam n. uayiord, aged 83, was
probably fatally injured yesterday af
ternoon in a fall from an apple tree
at his home, 1217 Twenty-seventh
street. He was trimming some dead
limbs from the tree when one on which
he was standing broke, throwing hiim
10 feet to the ground. His right hip
was fractured and his left hip consid
erably bruised. It Is likely that he
was also internally hurt. On account
of his advanced age his recovery Is
extremely doubtful.
It was 4:30 w"hen the accident hap
pened. Dr. A. T. Leipold was called
and the injured man taken to the City
hospital, where he passed a restless'
night. Today it was reported that his
symptoms were not favorable.
NOT FIRST ACCTDEST.
Mr. Gaylord has been injured a num

with an accident while trimming a
tree, becoming entangled in a rope he
was using and narrowly escaping
death by hanging.

THE terrific shock of a broadside on a man-of-war is the most destructive test that
can be applied to incandescent lamps, yet Bryan-Marsh MAZDA lamps stand it 50
per cent better than old-fashioned carbon lamps, and in addition give three times as
much light and better light at the same cost current and lamp included.
Nothing like the broadside test ever occurs in your home and you don't need to wor
ry about breakage or fragility if you buy Bryan-Marsh MAZDA lamps in the blue Con
venience Carton containing five lamps.
i
BRYAN-MARSH MAZDA
The Quality Lamp
Drinking the contents of a six
ounce bottie of a patent medicine
i an opiate nearly caused the death of
the 2-year-old sen of Mr. and Mrs.
John A. Swenssoa, 161S Sixteenth
avenue, this morning. A physician
succeeded afier an hour's work in
j saving the little one's life. Mr.
' Swensson, father of the lad, is head
H j of the Swen&son Chemical company.
The bey was playing about the
ouse this niorn:ng when he found the
joule, which was uncorked. He
tasted the contents and, as the medi
cine was sweet and pa'.atable, he
drank the entire contents. A mo
ment !ater, suddenly seized with
nausea, he began crying and attracted
I the mother's attention.
The bottle lying empty on the floor
showed the source of the trouble and
Mrs. Swensson at once called Dr. P.
j H. Wessel, who applied an emetic and
an antidote End at, the end of an hour
reported the child out of danger.
Put a Bryan-Marsh Mazda Lamp In
Every Socket
You can have at home exactly the same kind of
lamps as are used on modern battleships the
ame as revolutionized the lighting of the New
York Subway trains and made the lighting of
automobiles by electricity possible if you will be
careful about the name
BRYAN MARSH MAZDA
when you purchase.
Prices reduced again last July.
Before You Pay Your Next
Light Bill
Light for light, every carbon lamp uses throe
times as much current as a
BRYAN-MARSH MAZDA
lamp. It will pay you to make a complete re
placement of all carbon lamps with MAZDA lamps
before you pay your next light bill. At no extra
cost you will then get three times as much light,
or the same amount of light three times as long
better, whiter light.

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS
Two Schools In Muscatine County
Unable to Open.
Muscatine county is short in its
supply of teachers. Two schools, both
in Montpelier township, have not open
ed this fall because there are no avail
able instructors. For the first time
in the history of the county there is
not a male teacher employed in a
country school. The young m.en have
found that farming pays better than
