Johnson vs. Pennyba ker, for third

Cornelius vs. Wilson, for semi-finals.
Ainsworth vs. winner of Johnson

Ainsworth is generally "doped" to
win in the race for semi-finals, as his
experience is greater than that of eith
er Johnson or Pennyhackcr, while
Wilson should defeat Cornelius. This
would mean that Conroy. Ainsworth.
Wilson and one other, probably Julian

As result of yesterday's games, Wil

have progressed to third round of the
twin-city championship tennis tourna:
ment. Hunter, who won his match
for the same goal yesterday after
noon, lost to Conroy this morning.
The latter is now in the semi-finals,
having been the tirst to get thus far
in the running.
Spectacular playing there was none
yesterday. All winners had things
their own way for the most part and
took advantage of the opportunity to
rest up for the terrific grind hich
will come when the race has narrow
ed flown to four, and then to two. It
now seems improbable that the tour
ney can be completed before Monday
eveninc. although one of the two con

by tomorrow evening Here are yes

Jumping out of an auto in which he
and three companions were riding and
darting across the street in boyish
eagerness to grab a piece of ice off the
pavement, little Herbert Daebelliehn
was struck by another car in the path
of which he jumped he was hurled to
the pavement on his head, rendered
unconscious and suffered injuries
which may prove fatal.
The accident occurred late yester
day afternoon on Sixth avenue be
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets. The injured daw was taken
to the city hospital at once. Report
this morning was that, he had recover
ed consciousness and is slightly im
proved. Herbert, who is the son of. Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Daebelliehn, 2S03 Six
teenth street, spent yesterday after
noon riding with three friends on one
of the delivery autos of the Daebel
liehn grocery store. The car stopped
on Sixth avenue and the three boys
were along when the Daebelliehn lad
decided to hop out and secure some
ice chips which had been left near the
opposite sidewalk.
The lad jumped out just in time to
be struck. He was thrown with great
force, bis body failing squarely on the
pavement. Spectators who hurried to
his assistance expected to find life al
ready extinct. The boy was hurried
to the hospital at once and was at
tended by Dr. A. H. Arp.

Seizing a boat as it was shoved to
him by a companion, after he had
come up a second time, Yr.gve Carl
son of this city was saved from drown
ing in the Mississippi river at the
foot of Forty-eighth street this morn
ing. Clifford Wisher was the hero. He,
with Carlson and a couple of other
lads, went for an early morning swim
in the river. Though he knows little
about swimming, Carlson took a
chance and dived off a big rock into
deep water. He fought frantically to
get back to the shallow water, but his
attempt was futile. He disappeared
twice.
Realizing the danger of the youth.
Wisher grabbed a boat which was tied
nearby and shoved it out to Carlson.
The act was well timed, for the drown
ing lad succeeded in getting a grip
on the boat, and was brought to shore.
He had the presence of mind to keep
his mouth closed when he went down
the second time, but because he fear
ed to shout his companions were not
aware that he was in danger until
they saw the frightened look on his
face when he came up later.

EVERETT L. VHSRTS.
The extremely hot weather of the
last few weeks has not halted the
work of constructing the Moline)
Plow company's new plant at Forty
second street, Rock Island. J. L.
Brown, the superintendent, states that
the entire plant should be finished by
Oct. 1.
The rapidity with which the build
ing is rising is made possible by the
large number of men employed in the
work. They number ,100, and in ad
dition there are being used 40 teams.
Walls of the gigantic foundry have
already risen to a height of about
twenty feet. When this building is
finished, about one and one-half acres
will be under roof. It will be, prob
ably, the largest foundry in the coun
try. The foundation for the enormous
machine shop is almost entirely laid.
This will be the largest building of the
seven. It will be 300 feet long and the
roof will cover more, than two acres.
Three weeks ago, when the work
first started, there were 19 houses on
th site. At present only one of these
frame buildings is V be seen. The
others have either been torn down or
removed. The last one is now on rol
lers and will be taken away before the
day is over.
In the evening, a short time before
Ire day's work ends, a remarkable dif
ference may be seen from conditions
in the morning. Early in the day a
force of 300 strong is busily at work,
laying bricks, grading, mixing and
doing carpenter work. r"orty teams,
too, are busily engageu.
But, when the full force of the aft
ernoon sun is shining down on the
workmen, there is a great difference.
Every day since the building first
commenced from twenty-five to eighty
men have been forced to leave their
pobs. There have been no actual pros
trations, but men have been sent home
sick from the excessive heat.
Lose One Horse.
A surprising feature; however, is
the fact that only one horse has died
during the operations. The cause of
this, says Mr. Brown, is that the
teams are given a rest every hour or
two. If this were not done, Mr. Brown
believes that new teams would have to
be purchased each day.
When the seven buildings are fin
ished they will cover a total of four
and one-half acres. The two largest
buildings have already been started.
The ground for the others is being
I graded at present. Although this
grading is the hardest work to be done
on the site the men doing it seem to
be exceedingly cheerful.
They are a cosmopolitan bunch. In
a cursory glance six nationalities
were counted. There were Americans,
negroes, Greeks, Hungarians, Mexi
cans and Italians.
Would Moe Tracks.
There seems to be little anxiety
among the officials in regard to the
election of Tuesday, Aug. S. At this
time Rock Island people will decide
whether or not the car company shall
be given a franchise on Forty-third
street.
It is necessary to movj the tracks
from Forty-sceond sireet because the
city has vacated the street in order
to give the plow company the required
room.
The officials, however, believe that
the plant will be of suliicient benefit
to the city to make ihe vote safe. The
final registration for voters of the
proposition takes place next Tuesday.

People who are over-burdened with
superfluous fat. know only too well the
discomfort and ridicule that over-stout
people have to bear.
If you are carrying around five or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital or
gans and carrying a burden which
destroys the beauty of your figure.
There is no need of anyone suffer
ing from superfluous fat. If you want
to reduce; your weight in a simple,
safe and reliable way, without starva
tion diet or tiresome exercise, here is
a te:st worth trying. Spend as much
timu as you can in the open air,
breathe deeply and get from John J.
Foley (Harper House pharmacy) or
any good druggist a box of oil of
korein capsules; take one after each
meal and one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself once a week so as to
know just how fast you are losing
weight and don't leave off the treat
ment, or even skip a single dose until
you are down to normal.
Oil of korein is absolutely harm-j
less, is pleasant to take, and helps di-
gestion. Even a few days' treatment J
has been reported to show a notice-
ablo reduction in weight, footsteps be- 1
coma lighter, your work seems easier!
and a lighter and more buoyant feel
ing takes possession of your whole
