gently, does not cause sickness, and the
system does not become habituated to it
by long use, as Fig Cordial is quick to

Then, too, Fig Cordial is tome laxative
and plays double part, not only reiey-

it everywhere for the old and the young.
Constipation is acknowledged by doctors

TAXES EQUALIZED.
Moline's Assessment Too High,
Says the Committee.
TWO PER CENT DEDUCTION ASKED

This Makes an Amount of SI9,sSs.s5 to

The Report Tabled.
The equalization committee OF the
county board, consisting of Supervi-
sors Sinnet, Vinton, Shoemaker.
McMurphv and Powell. after sew
eral days deliberation. submitted its
report and recommendation to the
county board this morning. The COM
mittee recommended deduction
of . per cent on the assessed valua-
ton of Moline lots. which were found
to be excessively taxed when COM
pared with Rock Island. The aggrc-
gate of the deduction would amount
to S29, 737. So. This, the committee
recommends, to be,overcomc by in
crcasing the land assessments of
Coe, Black Hawk, Coal Valley, Ru-
raj, Bowling. Buffalo Prairie and
Drury The representatives Of the
townships affected objected to addi-
tional valuation, and upon request
Of three mem bers. the report was

terations will be sought.
The Committees Report.
The committee finds:
THAT after careful and extended
examination and comparison of the
assessments of the different town.
ships, as returned by the local
assessors, we recommend the
changes as shown by the following
table, showing the average value of
lands in the different townships fer
the years 1894 and 1885 and the
average value where an addition is
made:
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1895-07-09

This creates surplus of $780,

Relief For Moline.
1--WE also find that town lots in the
city of Moline are assessed on a con-
siderably higher basis than in the
city of Rock Island, the total average
of lots in Moline being S597.4 and
the total average of lots in Rock ISL
and being $4,000.
What They Recommend.
I'VE therefore recommend that in
view of this condition the surplus OF
500, shown in the preceding
table, be deducted from town lots in
Moline, being 2 per cent off the val
uation or $29,69i. making the aver
age $5s5.46. In consequence OF the
facts stated above, we recommend to
your honorable body that the assess
ment of the county of Rock Island as
returned by the local asses ors be
equalized as follows: BY adding 4
per cent to lands in Coe; 3 per cent
in Black Hawk; 2 per cent in Rural;
? per cent in Bowling; 8 per cent in
Buffalo Prairie, and 3 per cent in
Drury. and in Moline deduct 3 per
cent from lots"

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
The Foundation Commented Upon-Track
Crossings.


Crossings.
Contractor Larkin is proceeding
| rapidly with the foundation of the
new Rock Island county court house.
The fact that Supt. Collins was not
present yesterday, aroused consider
able comment on the part of those
who are watching the progress of the
work, and several taxpayers, exper-
fenced in work of construction, free
ly declared the proper soundings
were not being made, or sufficient
care exercised in deposition of the
rock and mortar. Contractor Lar
kin was seen on this point this morn
ing, and maintained that the founda-
ton was being properly constructed
and no oversight or neglect was be-
ing allowed. He said that because
there happened to be water in the
trenches did not prevent the founda-
tion being solidly laid. or effect the
cement. This was the main ground
for criticism by one or two citizens,
who claimed that mortar depos ted
in the condition of the trenches yes
terday was simply useless, and that
much of the stone work should be
rclaid. Architect Gum saw much
of the work done yesterday and
made no objection 10 it. but in any
event, the superintendent on whom
the responsibility in such cases rests
should be present. not only in the
interests OF taxpayers, but of the
contractor himself.

The CHOLERA ELSEWHERE
CONTINUED from SCI page

two years by the International
Sanitary Commission to induce
Turkey to adopt the precaution-
airy measures by which its bane-
full power might be checked have
been unsuccessful.
From that part of India in
which the cholera is nearly al
ways epidemic there have been
reports this year similar to those
of other years. The permanent
headquarters of it are in the val
ley of the Ganges, and it is from
there that its infection is carried
into other countries. 1t is only
from the British East Indian
records that any knowledge of
the number of cases of it can be
obtained.
There can be merely guesses as
to the extent to which the disease
prevails in China. In the dis
patches there are occasional re-
ferences to its existence in the
Liao-Tong peninsula and in the
Kingdom of Corea, and there is
every reason to believe that it
has been very destructive in
these regions. 1t was by the
Japanese soldiers returning home
from the Liao-Tong peninsula
that it was introduced into Japan
d few months ago.
From the Trustworthy statistics
that are kept by the japanese
authorities it IS learned that up to
the close of July there had been
$500 cases of the disease in
japan, more than one-half of
which had proved fatal. This
fatality may be regarded as pa,
of the price paid by Japan for
her victory over the Chinese, but
that price was greater yet. for
many of the japanese soldiers
who are yet in China have fallen
under the disease. 1t has re-
Gently been epidemic over large
part of the japanese empire.
In some other countries besides
those here mentioned, including
Mexico and Cuba, there have
been cases of cholera during the
year, bit it has not been epide-
mic in any of them.
1t has been estimated by good
authorities that the average year.
ly number of deaths from cholera
the world over is close upon $780,
600. 1t is now known that in Russia
alone last year there were nearly
100, 900 cases of the disease, about
As per cent OF which proved ia
tai; but the ravages of the disease
among the Russians are light MS
compared with that among Asia
tics. Very likely it has been as
widely prevalent in Western Rus.
STA, Eastern Austria and Turkey
this year as it was last year. The
Governments of these countries
do not desire that the accurate
statistics of it shall be published,
and the official reports given
therefrom to the world are always
wide of the mark.
The experience of Germany in
recent years has furnished a re-
markable demonstration. of the
efficiency of scientific and sanitary
agencies in keeping out the dread
ed disease. Not less interesting
is the experience of England, and
yet more interesting is that of the
State of New York. The Health
Board of that city rendered emf
nent service in the year 1866, and
it has rendered service not less
eminent upon several occasions
since then. The opinion of DR..
Edison has already been given
here that there viii not again be
a cholera scare in New York.
