There was an im mense attendance of old friends of the deceased, and citizens generally anxious to pay their last tribute of respect.

F. Robinson, accompaniest sang sweetly, "Rest in Peace," Our Lives are in Thy Hands," and the "Sweet Bye and Bye ."the latter being a particular favorite with the deceased. The ser- yices were exceedingly impressive, Mr. Pearce delivering an eloquent address, in which he paid a fitting eulogy to Mr Reynolds and spoke words of comfort to the bereaved ones deprived of his com panionship and counsel. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Undertaker Knox, assisted by Undertaker Ryan of Beatrice, who accompanied the remains to Rock Island The mayor and other city officials and council were present, as were a large num ber of members of the Pioneers' society The honorary pall bearers were: Thomas Saulspaugh.

The in terment was in Chippianock. The MaprrTlsori. At tbe session of the board of super visors yesterday afternoon the clerk read the bond of Ezra L. Eastman as poor master of Moline, no action, however, being taken. A petition from the Rock Island-Dav enport Ferry company asking that the licence granted S. W. Stewart for run ning ferry be revoked, was referred to tbe committee on roads and bridges . Supterintendent Vinton moved that the salary of the circuit clerk be fixed at $1,500 per year. An amendment was then made by Superintendent Nay lor that it be made $1,700. On call of the yeas and nays tbe vote on the amendment was a tie, and Chairman Smith cast the deciding vote in the af firmative, the motion as amended then being carried. A motion was then made by Supervisor Cralle that the bonds of poormaster of Rock Island and Moline be fixed at f 1,000 each. The chair ruled tbe mo tion out of order and on an appeal be ing taken the chair was sustained. Su pervisor Cralle then moved that the bond of EzraL. Eastman as poormaster be accepted and approved, which was also ruled out of order on the ground that there is already a poormaster there who was appointed by the county board at the July session and who furnished a toed which was duly accepted. W.J. Entrikin then went before the board and offered to furnish bond for Ezra L. Eastman in any penal sum that might be required by tbe board. Scarcely any business' except the read ing of the journal and hearing of reports was done by tbe board of supervisors this morning. A communication was read in regard to claims of an illegal elec tion in South Moline and was tabled. The road and bridge committee to whom was referred the matter of reporting on tbe revoking of the Stewart ferry fran chise, recommended that it be revoked for the reason that the law bad not been complied with. At this afternoon's session the matter was discussed pending the vote on tbe motion, W. H. Gest appearing for the Rock Island-Davenport Ferry company and Mr. Stewart speaking for himself. The vote resulted in the franchise being revoked. When gazing in your lover's eyes.

The Warren Lot Apposite the Post office Site. It Weald He n Moot Uenlrable Loca tion For inn Head Omce or the n.w. a. P. L. Mitchell, who has probably done as much as any other citizen of Rock Island to hasten the Rock Island public building, and through whose Lands the Warren lot, at the southwest corner of Second avenue and Sixteenth street, passed into the hands of the government to be converted from a disgraceful eye sore into an architectural ornament to the city, stated this morning that in view of the prospects of operations being commenced on the public build ing site early in the future he had the opposite lot on the southeast corner in his hands for sale, subject to order of court, and he would like to dis pose of in some manner that would in sure the erection therecn of a building that would be somewhat in keeping with the public building, and like It a credit to the city. The head camp of the M. W. A. meets at Omaha about the middle of Novem ber. Among the important business to be transacted will be the re-location of the offices of the bead clerk. They will be transferred somewhere from Fulton, there is no question about that and they must remain in Illinois. Rock Island stands perhaps the best chances of any competing city to tecure them. But there are other cities striving for the prize, and Rock Island cannot succeed without vigorous effort. It would be just the proper thing for the Improvment associetion to take some steps looking to the securing of this lot and so submitting it to tbe order that it will serve as an' in ducetnent toward bringing the office to Rock Island. The lot is admirably lo cated, being accessible to tbe postoffice, which Head Clerk Hawes has stated is an important consideration, as the mail matter going through his office is tre mendous. Met a rintal Accident. Charles Ott, residing on Marquette 6treet in Davenport and employed on this side of the river, in looking after the refrigerator cars in the C, R.

Dr. Plum mer was immediately summoned and the injured man was taken to his home in Davenport. He complained of a pain in his chest, from which he suffered con Biderably; A Belgian who had been working a couple of days for the Rock Island Lum ber company, and whose name is un known to the company, got in front of a timber on a roller in the mill today, and was knocked down, fracturing his left leg.

When you feel a kind of goneness abou the stomach it is a sign that vour fo d does not sit well. an1 that you are about to have a fit of indigestion. When you begin to feel nervous and are unable to sit still comforably; when your clothes suddenly set-m to lose their tit and become too tight in places, tbe fit of indigestion is surely upon you. When this fit of indigestion is repeated from day to day it finally resolves itself into dyspepsia. Remember that three to 10 of Bran- dreth's Pills will cure the worst case of indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and that a regular course of them, say two every night for a week or 10 days, will act as a preventive of either complaint.
