mere Is more catarrh ia this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local

by constantly failing to cure with LEGAL
treatment pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be con.
stitutional disease. and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Cstarrh

Messrs. Collins, Bollman and Ho usel
are erecting temporary anphitheatre on
the river bank east of Eighteenth street,
with seating aecommo atoms for 2 500
people which will be charged IS cents a
head to witness Davenporl's river carnival
next Tuesday evening. The Davenport
Democrat doesn't take kindly to the idea,
andsays:"There is no disposition to fence
In the Mississippi ON the night of the Sth,
and the neighbers across the stream are
welcome to the glorious spectacle even if
1t Is back view. They might come over
here and sit on our seats for so cents and
feel as if they were in the swim and it
might come cheaper than building an ana
phitheatre. If there should be any trouble
about Kissing the money over there they
can come to Davenport and pass the hat
and the amount could soon be raised.
BY the way, did you ever see lot of
boys in tr>e taking in base bail match
in an adjacent enclosurcP'
The Democrat ought not to blame the
enterprising people of Rock Island for
seeking to aid the multitude who may de-
sire to witness the gorgeous spectacle
which is in Itself an evidence of Daven-
ports enterprise. There are several
things which actuate the movement to
provide accommodates in Rock Island
for witnessing the carnival spectacle
One is that there are any number of Dav-
export people who come over here to wit
ness the carnival, because they can get a
much better view of it. Many came last
year and there is promise of more this
year. Furthermore there will probably
be large number of strangers in Rock
Island that night. Many will come
from abroad to see the carnival, coming
here naturally because they know where
this city is by fame, and have learned up
| on inquiry no douo' that Davenport is OPP
posite US.
However, Davenport should harbor no
i'll feelings toward Rock Island for desir-
ing to witness and enjoy its carnival.
The people here have each year expressed
their admiration of this gorgeous Neptuu-
al feature. and have always expressed
their regret that they should not be per
mitted to share in the expense of provid-
ing it.
Last fall THE ARGUS heartily adyo-
Gated Rock Islands joining in this years
carnival, ,inssmuch as this city could not
fail to reap the benefit of Davenport en-
terpri,e, and our psorle took kindly to
the ides, as did Secretary Denison. of
the Davenport Business Men 5 association,
and others, but the predominating sen,i,
| ment over there seemed TO be to resent
any overtures on the part of Rock Island
to join hands. and all suggestions were
received with polite snub which implied
you take care of your affairs; we are
capable of looking after our own enter
prises;" that Rock Island rather than in
trude, dropped the matter. But the city
ought to be accorded the privilege OF
sitting by and looking on, especially if it
provides its own seats and clsps its own
hands over the brilliant spectacle
