THE EXCURSIONS
Local Effort Should he Made to Provide for
Them.

Them.
THE ARGUS of yesterday spoke of
the prospective excursions to be made
to this locality under the auspices of
the state board of agriculture, and
in honor of. and for the benefit of the
foreign commissioners to the agri-
cultural building at the Worlds fair.
The date of the excursion is Aug. 10
two weeks from tomorrow-and
while nc definite plans are yet com
plcted. it is believed to be the inten-
ton to come west on the Rock ISL
and direct to Rock Island and Mo
line. and then proceed by boat to
Clinton. and thence back to Chicago
via the Northwestern. OF course.
the success of the undertaking, rs
well as he impressions created in
the minds of the visitors Will depend
largely upon the reception accorded
them at this end of the line. In this
view of the matter what will the
local populace do in the premisesP
Had not we better be stirring about
and adopting some general arrange
ment of making the brief stay of the
foreign visitors pleasant. A visit to
Rock Island arsenal, a trip to the
Watch Tower and drives about the
twin cities should all be included in
the program of entertainment.
Worth Looking After.
A few months ago the three cities
joined in movement OF this kind
They Jointly purchased topograph-
ical map and took such other steps as
would draw attention to this locality
among visitors to the fair from
abroad. They talked of excursions
etc., and other proper courses OF pro,
cedure such as would result in good
to the community. Now the excur-
sions are coming. How shall we re-
ceive themp Let the council and the
Improv ement association join hands
in furnishing the answer to the ques-
sion.

The Chicago News: Record of today
has the following Washington spec
ial:
The members of the Illinois dele
cation are among the first to arrive

presence being due to desire to help
Mr.. Snow in his candidacy for ser

thus far includes Congressman Black,
Hunter, Springer, Fithian, Mcdonald

pected tonight. Representative
Ben T. Gable and Owen Scott are also
here. Mr.. Cable is receiving consid-
cradle attention. owing to his candi-
dacy for the United States senate to

many of the old fellows have taken
off their hats to the young hustler
from Illinois. When the congress
men read their morning papers they
found big editorial telling how han
Oily Mr.. Gable would land in the SEN
ate. A little later, when the New
York Sun arrived, the congressman
found another editorial concerning
1.-The Hon. Benjamin T. Cable, the
rich and clever democratic mana
ger" and his probable elevation to
the senate. When any one speaks
of the senatorship to Mr.. Cable he
goes off to one side and has a little
chat. He is entering no emphatic
denials.

TO STORM THE HEAVENS.
The Rock Islands Professional Rain Maker
at Muscatine

Muscatine is to be the scene of an
artificial rain experiment. The Rock
Island expert rain producer is ex-
pected on the ground tonight, and
hence the people of the lower end of
Rock Island county at least may eX-
pect forced precipitation some
where about Saturday night or Sun
day. The Muscatine melon fields
may be thanked for this little novel
ty in the way of tampering with ma
lures forces. The island crops are
suffering in consequence of the i'm
Penetrable drought that has so far
existed. These crops include melons
and sweet potatoes. though the latter
crop is in better condition at pres
ent than the former. The continued
hot son and no rain has converted
the island sand into veritable fur
mace and cooked the earlier melons
badly. and the vines also showing its
bad effects. There is no question
but that q good rain once week for
the next three weeks will treble the
yield on Muscatine island.
The Rock Island to the Rescue.
In view Of the fact that the Rock
Island road annually hauls from
l 800 to 1000 carloads of island pro-
duce to different parts of the country
1t is to that transportation company
interest that the crops give a full
yield. Realizing that fact, several of
the island gardeners and farmers re-
quested the Muscatine agent of the
Rock Island to communicate with W.
|. Allen, assistant general manager
of the road, with view of having
{. b. Jewell, of Goodland. Kansas,
the successful rainmaker in their en-
plOy, come to MuScatfne and bonn
bard the heavens. Agent Gould tel
egraphed Mr.. Allen and received
word Wednesday that Jewell was in
southwestern Kansas and could not
come for at least three or four days.
As every day without rain is bad for
tie crops. ii was felt that was bad
news. Manager Allen was intercs-
ted. however, and n second dispatch
was received from him Thursday
morning rs follows:
CHICAGO. Aug. Sc. NJ. Gould,
Agent: Rainmaker Jewell leaves
Chickasaw. Kan. on No. today,
and will come through, leaving st.
Joe on No. 16 tomorrow. | have
told him to stop at Fruitland. the
work at that station being more cen
trally located for covering the melon
and potato districts. Are there any
other points in your vicinity that
would like to have him? His rain
falls generally cover section of
country - to 60 miles each way.

How il Operates.

A good deal has been heard here
concerning the Rock Islands work
at rainmaking in the drouthy west,
but all sounds mythical at this dis
lance; good deal like Iowa prohibit
ton sounds to n New York rounder.
There is more to it than mere talk
ing, though. The following is a dis
patch from Topeka. Kan:
The Rock Island railroad officials
have such faith in the results of the
rainmaking experiments of their
agent, c. b. Jewell, of Goodland,
that they have fitted out another rain
car and sent it west today under the
supervision of H. Hutchinson, who
has been Jewels assistant in his re-
cent work. Both men have been at
work at Sugdon for several days, and
Monday night heavy rain fell. To-
day Jewell went to Phillipsburg.
and Hutchinson viii meet his new
car, just finished. at the Horton
shops at Clifton The company ex-
poets to keep the two cars on the road
for the remainder of the season.

When a delicate person is fatigued and
has no appetite, ~sponging the body with
bathing whisky, diluted alcohol or milk
will nourish the system and produce rest

A bug in the ear may be drowned out

incline the head with a jerk SO as to dis

An excellent way to cure insomnia is to
bandage the eyes with a handkerchief be-
