Price Fifty Cents SPANISH WAR MEN TALK OF CONSOLIDATING THEIR GANIZATIONS MAY TRY TO JOIN THE G-A. R. If This Move Is Not Effected tlie Three Orders Combine in One Large Encampment A number of the different organizations, composed of the veterans of the Spanish-American war, have been at loss to know what steps are being taken in the discussed consolidation of the Spanish War Veterans.

the Service Men of the Spanish war and the Spanish- American war Veterans. Some talk has been heard of the movement together with that of the rumor to the effect that the three organization might be merged in the O. A. R. and thus perpetuate that grand body.

Commander-in-Chief Geo. M. Moul-ton. at the recent encampment of the Service Men of the Spanish War at St Louis, has expressed himself in favor of the consolidation with the G. A.

or in the event that this could not be effected, the latter movement should be looked forward The following extract from the speech of Commander Moulton will give the desired Information to the members of the organizations in this: Negotiations for a consolidation of the Service Men of the Spanish American War. Spanish War Veterans, and Spanish-American War Veterans have progressed since the annual encampment to the extent that the comamnd-er-in-Chief feels justified in expressing (he belief that this desirable result will be accomplished within the next few months. The headquarters of both the other societies are now at Indianapolis, and a preliminary conference between the three commanders is anticipated to be held this month. For the purpose of facilitating the accomplishment of a union of forces, each and every adjutant of local camp is requested to forward at once to the Adjutant general at Room 1119, Chamber of Commerce building, Chicago, the name and address of commander and adjutant; also number of members in good standing. Inasmuch as only "live" camps, free from arrears, may be transferred to a projected new organization, all camp officers and comrades in general are urged to at once take any needed action to place their respective camps in good standing, by remitting the per capita dues for 903 of twenty-five (25c) cents for each member.

Prompt action in this respect is impressive, in order that we mee.t.thejastiiabillties of the 'national camp, and maintain not only the credit of the order, but our own individual self-respect. The next annual encampment was voted to be held in St. Louis, and a committee was authorized to communicate with other societies growing out of the Spanish war. to induce, if possible, all such organizations to meet also in St. Louis on some date which "may be agred on as acceptable to all.

Due notice will be extended to each camp should anything definite be effected in the meantime regarding union of the several societies. It shwuld need no elaborate presentation or multiplication of words to convince every comrade, that in order to receive Just recegnition of our society in the terms of union with other societies, we should be able to show a strong, unbroken front, with all camps organized in complete form and with all dues paid. Therefore immediate action is enjoined upon all to assist in placing their respective camps in the best of order. Results follow ads in the Republican want columns. University Girl Champion Kicker In the 700 pages of President Harper's report on the first decade of the University of Chicago's history there is but one omission, and that is intentional.

In the section devoted to women's athletics the space headed "high kick" is followed by the word "omitted." The "segs," however, know who holds the record for the high kirk, and they are proud of the mark and of the girl who made It. The record is 6 feet. 4 inches, and was made last year by Miss Lucln-da Puck, a member of the girls' baseball team last spring. Miss Buck took a prominent part in all the outdoor sports of the young women. Chicago Tribune.

$4,000,006 PRESS ADVICES STATE GIRL AT TENDING SCHOOL HERE MAY GET IT A DAUGHTER OF BOAL Her Mother, Mrs. Boal-Thcrpe, is. at Present Attempting to Wrestle Title From the Girl ProFs" dispatches received he're last- night bear the intelligence that a likely heir to an estate of $4,000,000 Is attending a private boarding school in Davenport. She is the daughter of Mrs. Poal-Thorpe who is at present operat ing the machinery of the law to secure possession of the great fortune, with chances for accomplishing the purpose announced as very slight.

The Question as to the fortune is the outcome of the romantic married life of the daughter of "Buffalo Bill" W. F. Cody. She was the wife of Boal, a prominent Wyoming miner. Owing to suspicion that his wife was untrue Boal committed suicide about a year ago.

Later Mrs. Boal married the physician. Dr. Thorpe, with whom her husband thought she was in love. Recently the mother of Bool died in.

Chicago, leaving a fortune of 000. It is as a result of the second mar riage that the legal battle is being fought. Mother After Fortune Friends of the child seek to make her the heir of the fortune and the woman, who is desirous of securing possession of it in addition to the large estate that she received after her husband's suicide, is fighting the claim of the daughter who is thought to be in this citv. The fact that Colonel Cody was born in LeClaire and that his family lived in this county for many years made the story of the Boal suicide interesting locally and now with the announcement that a young lady who is at present residing here is the probable heir, ad ditional interest is added. Inquiry was made at several of the parochial schools in the city after the receipt of the dispatch, but did not reveal a student of the name of Boal, It was impossible to communicate with all of the schools at a late hour, how ever.

COMBINATION OF "13'S" EXCITES THE GAMBLERS Say That Grand Jury is Surely After Them. Now Produce Logic Davenport gamblers are thoroughly frightened; "The grand jury is slated to report today, and with a conglomera tion of "13's" and enforced idleness facing them, the gamblers' alarm has reached mammoth proportions, and it is more than probable that two-thirds of the gentlemen of the cloth have packed trunks standing near the doors of their rooms. In the first place, there is no "hoodoo" that is so "hoodooistic" in the eyes of the gambler as the figure "13." He will do most anything to evade it Now. according to the deductions they have recently made, their peril is Imminent, for the reason that with the present grand Jury are closely associated four "13's." "In the first place," said one last night, 'this grand jury got down to business on the 13th of January. There is the first of the thirteens.

Tomorrow they will have been out exactly thirteen days. Tomorrow, is the of January, and any one who is at all wise on figures can tell that twice thirteen is twenty-six, and any gambler will tell you that we're up against it and facing It proper. "If that bunch don't throw a lot of hot irons into us tomorrow, I miss my shops by a greater margin than I have missed it before. There is a combination that's hard to beat. Why, it's got any 'stacked deck' I ever saw euchered a mile.

We haven't a chip in my estl-i mat ion. "First, you. see, we're smothered by the mavor. Then comes the announcement that Father Glglineer was up to the court house, and still further, you remember the statement that the jury's got a list of names, and those who got out the tip sav it was just about long enough to include the titles of alt us Agree with me? The gamblers have boon somewhat restless slnre the jury first went into session, but when some enterprising member of the now idle tribe looked into the past and revealed the "13's," the consternation was trebled, find they confidently expert that a list of Indictments making them criminals will be returned when the grand jury reports today. The report, wrs expected yesterday, but a new css which was presented by County Attorney Neal yesterday mornlnrc delaved them, and 9 o'clock this morning Is now scheduled.

The session has been a long one 13 days and i' Is thought that some Important investigations have been conducted. CURED AFTER SUFFERING TEN YEARS B. F. Hare. Supt.

Ill LA VELLE'S Closing Out Saia of Clothing and Gents Furnishings Wow on Murdoch Takes Laudanum Shortly After Sweetheart Had Failed What appears to have been a suicide club, composed of two members, a girl and her lover, came to light Sunday when Leo Murdoch attempted to end hie life by the -laudanum route, and failed only as a result of heroic efforts at.

resuscitation made by Dr. Stoecks and the mother of the young man. The dual part of the affair was xpoeed, by the mother, who stated that the sweetheart, who lives a few doors from the Murdoch home, had taken a small dose of the same poison on Saturday afternoon. The girl had not taken any alarming quantity of the deadly drug, and was ouickly revived, Murdoch's mother noticed s.Tlaptoms of poisoning shortly after tho young man had taken the dose. Shortly after the discovery she hurriedly sent for Dr.

Stoecks, who arrived in a short time and then began the work of restoring the young man, who was in an extremely dangerous way. A most powerful emetic was given and after resort to all other restorative powers, the man was finally, drawn away from the danger. Recovered, he refused to divulge any reason for the rash act. He stated that he had purchased the laudanum at the Riepe drug store on Third street, and the label on tho half-emptied bottle corroborated him. He would not commit himself regarding the apparent agreement which he and the young lady had made, and his firends are at a loss as to the reason.

Murdoch is a young man 22 years of age, and is very well and popularly known among the young people fif the city. He is at present on the' rapid road to recovery, but his mother declined to allow visitors to speak to him last night. IOWA FOOTBALL TEAM WILL NOT PLAY CHICAGO Big College Refuses Because it Has Too Many Games Now Chicago university has refused Iowa university a football game for the next season on the grounds that she has heretofore been playing too many big games. The Maroon manager has announced that he will play but six big games next year, these being with Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue and Indiana. i It is the plan of the Chicago authorities to give the football players a rest of about two weeks between each big game so that they will not be so badly battered up at the end of the season.

Manager Spangler states that the story to the effect that Northwestern had refused Iowa a game for the com ing year is false and that negotiations are still in progress with hope of sue cess. The Northwestern manager does not care to arrange many heavy games, but will make an effort to include Iowa in the list nevertheless. Minnesota and Northwestern have scheduled for- nett year, "This- content is looked upon as being very important providing Northwestern figures as strongly in the championship race as she did last year. Manager Spangler, who has been in attendance on the conference of big nine managers in Chicago, states that the Western baseball championship will not bS settled by percentages this year as usual, because the college league has been abandoned. This action was taken largely through the efforts of the Michigan men who insisted that the league arrangement worked the men too hard.
