The "rops" Ouga, to be Uniformed

The Argus of last evening spoke of
the good appearance made by the Moline
police in the matter of reg ulation caps.
1t IS to Chief of Police kittisen's credit
that he has always eXerted particular
pains in this respect. and Chief Miller has
succeeded admirably in keeping his men
in some sort of style during the past two
seasons, helmets of proper design being
worn, but the force is starting out this
winter on the ragged road as far as uni-
forms are concerned, for if there are two
of the men with caps alike they have es-
capped the observation of The ARGUS
Now the city appropriates SIS month
for each man for clothing. 1t does not
do this because of the physical beauty of
the men nor because OF the particular SER
vice of the particular men fortunate
enough to be on the force, to the city.
Nor does The ARGUS believe the men
would take kindly to the idea that the
money is given to them in the
BuI VI CudIllN NOtuluR Va tue kluu.
There is no more reason why the city should
buy clothing for police than for any
other municipal officer. The city makes
an allowance for clothing each month so
that the men may be properly uniformed,
and no man should be permitted on the
force who does not comply with this re-
quirement. The police should wear reg
ulation caps as well as suits, and the man
who is too good to do so, or to wear a
star, or carry the insignia of Office, ought
to give way to someone who will.
Rock Island is getting along to that
point where all these things count, and
Chief Miller should insist that all men
clothed with police powers, except, per-
haps, one or two, detailed for detective
work, be clothed iu uniform as well. AT
any rate let's have no hslf way work a
whole policeman or none, please, Mr.
Miller

what Nh Arc Go,d -

Brsndreth's pills are the best medicine
known
First They are purely vegetable, in
fact medicated food
Second-The same dose always pro>
duces the same effect-other purg atiyes
require increased doses and fnally cease
acting.
Third-They purify the blood.
FouIth-They invlgorste the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels
Flfth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eye
bright. the mind active. digestion is re-
stored, costiveness cured. the animal
vigor is recruited and all decay arrested.
Brandreth's pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

Is not fit for food. The bran or the
buckwheat W hen run through the mill
should have the hulls taken out. The
bulls will cause piles in pigs. Hulls
are valuable to use as absorbants in
the manure pile, but not otherwise.

nitrogen, and is excellent for making
growth in animals. This canaille will

make poor butter. It should be mixed

Snakes and Wild Beasts in India,

The government of India appear to
be at variance with experts like Mr..
Vidal on the question of the feasibility
of the stamping OUT process as az
piled to the snakes which annually
exact so large a tribute of human life
in that country. The significant fact
is that in spite of the large number
destroyed every year under the stimu-
lus of the government reward no
perceptible impression is made upon
this terrible scourge. In eleven years,
the annual average of deaths by
snake bite has been 10000. The opin-
ion of the government appears to be
that the snake contest is not to- be
carried on in the jungle, where these
reptiles do little harm, but in the VIII
lagos, where they find cover in heaps
of refuse. Compared with snakes the
most formidable of man-eating ami
mails are unimportant. The total
number of human beings killed BY
wild animals in ten years is under 3d.
600, while the number of wild beasts
slain for that period is nearly 166, 900,
including 1885 tigers, 44,464
leopards, and 81, 404 wolves. It viii
be seen that in this war of extermina-
ton man has considerably the best Of
it. Unfortunately, here, as in the
case Of snakes, the rewards produce
little impression on numbers. Four
teen and half lakhs of rupees have
been paid during the last ten years
without resulting in any diminution
whatever in the loss of life caused bv
the larger carnivora.

BULL FIGHTS IN MEXICO.
Ridioulous Side Of the Historic Sport as NeN
Observed.

Every once in a while we read in
some northern paper, descriptive
letter from some American in Mexico.
giving a lurid account of some bull
fights which the exiled correspondents
mas Witnessed. A Mexican bull fight
is one of the institutions of that coun-
try. There is great deal of show,
noise and clamor, but very little fight
ing or danger, reminding one of the
revolutions that used to prevail in
Mexico some years ago. There ia
really very little danger in bull fghh
There is more absolute peril in light
Ing kerosene lamp, or calling a pos
liceman a liar, than there is in
dozen bull fights. ..-
The so-called bull fight takes place
in an amphitheatre built for that pur.
pose. 1t will hold great many peo-
pie, probably more than can get into
it, in which respect it seems to resem-
bic an American street car, A board
fence separates the audience from the
arena, and is so arranged that if the
bull should undertake to overtake
some bold matador, the latter can climb
up to place of safety, where the bull
couldn't reach him with aten-foot pole.
The exalted position enables the bull
fighter to show his contempt for DAM
ger, and he m AXES liberal use of his
opportunities.
The so-called bull fighters are MARI
velous objects to look at Solomon in
all his glory was never arrayed so
gloriously. They are dressed in all
the colors OF the rain bow, are very
prone to take water. When dressed
up in their toggery, they bear a whim-
steal resemblance to the face cards. It
is really amusing to see the Jack of
Diamonds and the King of Hearts, and
all the rest of the male members of the
pack, that are familiar to most read
ers, prancing about the arena
Bull fighting in Mexico might be-
come dangerous if the bulls were
given fair show; for occasionally an
animal can be found that has a griev-
ance, and is really anxious to lift 3
Mexican into the next world. But as
a general thing, the bulls are almost
as cowardly as their .tormentors. The
Mexicans have way of discouraging
that really does credit to their in
genuity. Before the bull is presented
with the freedom of the arena, several
inches of his horns are sawed off down
| to the very quick, which operate
| makes the end of the bulls horns as
sensitive as ripe boil on a human
being. Now, the last thing in the
world that the animal is going to do

against anything whatever. There
fore the bull develops an almost hu-
man intelligence in keeping out of the
way of the heroic bull fighter. man
with large sized boil on his person
does not go about trying to bump it
against people, and the tender-horned
bull has pretty much the same way of

Hints to Dairvmen.

Build q silo, so that your milk feed
shall cost you less. Build it sufficient
ly large so you can have ensilage
enough to feed in summer and fall
when the pasturage dries up. That
will keep your COWS up to their best
flow, so you can have milk to do bust
ness with in late fall and winter, when
prices of butter are higher. That's
good economy.
Stop the expense of bad handling
You must handle a dairy cow not as if
she were a steer, but as a bovine
mother. You want to make money
out of her motherhood; then handle
her, shelter her, feed her and treat
her generally as mother should be
handled, sheltered and treated If
You don't know how mother should
be treated, ask your wife or your
mother.
Stop this expensive summer dairy
ing-keeping COWS on expensive pas
ture and getting nothing for the milk
just because there are thousands of
other men just like you who had
rather milk a COW in summer and
make nothing, than to go into winter
dairying and make fair profit. Give
up all these cranky old notions about
dairying, and proceed to measure the
business from the dollar standpoint,
just as any other manufacturer does.
IL costs just as much to support the
carcass of Il cow that is running you
in debt as it does one that is giving
you $50 year profit. Not one farm
er in a hundred ever tested his COWS
to know which were the ones that
were beating him ''out of house and
home" How is he to act if he don't
know. and how is he to know if ne
does not put forth intelligent Fort to
know. There is scarcely dairyman
in the land who is not keeping two
cows to do the work of one. Ask any
OF the progressive dairymen you
know, and they will tell you that
about their first step in cutting down
useless expense was to get a better
COW. Buy her, breed her, get her
anyway you choose, but be sure and
get her.
