The summit Level Of the Eastern Section
Lowered.
The government engineering force
has decided upon q very important
change with reference to the eastern
section of the Hennepin canal. The
decision is nothing less than the low
ering of the entire summit level of
the waterway seven feet below the
lines originally fixed upon. By SO
doing the construction of two expens-
i've locks will be saved, and, in adj
dition, transportation facilities will
be greatly improved. The summit
level commences near Wyanet and
extends in a westerly direction to a
point about thirty miles distant.
The lowering of the section will i'm
prove the feeder service of the cana!
that runs from a point on Rock river
between Dixon and Rock Falls. BY
doing away with the two locks about
an hours time will be saved to YES
sells in transit and the water supply
will be stronger for the remainder.

stubbornness and stupidity.

The republican papers OF the
Tenth congressional district in
their review of the convention
held at Galva this week and the
circumstances that contributed to
the result fully sustain the causes
given by THE ARGUS as to the abso-
lutte weakness of the Rock Island
county candidate and the weakness
in the composition of the delegation.
The Moline Dispatch SAYS: "When
the final struggle approached. Mer-
Ger came to Rock Island and rendered

secured to nominate. Mercer was
asked to stay by Rock Island for a
few ballots to see if some strength

Henry would give her votes to either
of them, but not to Gest. Her dele

versation indicated their preference
for Ainsworth. One word from the
Rock Island city delegates and MIR
Ainsworth could have been the nom

Moline men. The ballot was takel

with just one vote. and SO it receives
very few compliments, and for thi
reason it left the convention will

DE r. n Mflier,s Visit.

Next Thursday will be the occa-
sion of DR.. r. B. Miller's regular
monthly visit to our city. For a Pc
riOd of more than three years he has
made these regular visits. and he has
bad patients from every section of
this county who attest to his great
skill in the cure of chronic diseases.
Still there are others afflicted, those
who have chronic ailments from the
effects of which they have suffered
for years. 1t is quite probable that
they could be restored to health; so
that they could enjoy life and be hap
py, if provided with proper medicine.
As DIR. Miller has cured so many such
afflicted in this county, it is quite
probable that those now diseased
most of them, at least-cOuld be cured
by his treatment. Call and consult
with him; he'll not charge you un.
less you put yourself under his treat.

TWO MASKED BANDITS.
HOLD UP AN EXPRESS ON THE
COTTON BELT ROAD.
They Make u Big Haul, But How
Much is Not Yet known.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Jan. 24.-The
south-bound Cotton Belt train was held
up and robbed by two masked men
near Mcneil at 7:05 p. m. tonight. The
robbers were riding on the blind bag
gage, and as the train was going
through a deep cut Engineer Crowley
saw them crawling over the tender
for the engine. Before he realized what
was up he was looking into the muZ-
zles of pair of Colts revolvers. The
robbers commanded him to stop the
train, and marched him to the express
car in charge of Messenger j. w. Mas
sey. Massey was covered by the ban
dts, as was also Conductor Harris,
who had come out in the meantime.
They took the money Harris had on
his person. The amount CT money
taken from the express car could not
be aScertained.
After an Intellectual attempt to open
the safe III the express car. the bandits
compelled the messenger to assist them.
The amount taken from the safe is esti-
mated al S25, 200. The watch and chain
taken from Conductor Harris were re-
turned to him upon his assur-
an;e that they belonged to him
individually. 1t is thought that
who we're implicated in the recent train
robbery near Ogamaw, Ark, and re-
leased for want of proof, are the men
who did the job. They remarked when
leaving the officers: You nave the
laugh on US this time, but we will come
again." and it seems they made good
their threat. Tha passengers were not
molested, nor was any one hurt by the
bandits.

THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
She Is All Right, But Some of Her



(; Who doesn't know the girl who goes
around whacking other girls on the
backs and pounding them in their sto-
machs and pummeling them in their
chests, saying: why on earth don't
you stand up? You're as humpy as
cameln'
Some folks say that this girl is all
right; that she fills her niche in the
worlds gallery of well-doers with abil-
ity and unselfshnesS. This may be
true, but if you happen to be a girl and
wander into the way of this well-doer
you long to implore her to adopt milder
methods. 1t isn't pleasant when you
are discussing the latest wrinkle in
hair dressing to have somebody sud
denly give you an awful thump be-
tween the shoulders and say: Stand
up, there, now. If you bend over
much more you'll stand on your head
Then you are likely to double up as
quickly as a folding-bed unsolicited
doubles down, and for a moment you
may imagine that you are in the hands
of a patented massage machine or
f1oundering in the whirring arms of a
windmill.
1t is this same girl that "does her eX-
ercise' on the back porch every morn
ing to the amusement and gratifica-
ton of a huge audience stationed at
numerous windows. She first plants
her hands on her hips and draws sew
eral long breaths. She puffs her chest
out pigeon fashion and snorts like
feminine Sandow. After that she
stretches her arms toward a neighbour
ing clothes line, and by that time spec
tators, open-mouthed and interested,
have assembled. A man in the act of
shaving puts down his razor, deserts
his mirror and brush, and devotes him
self entirely to gazing at the twisting,
stretching vision of athletic loneliness.
A kitchen lady trotS out of back
door with a bucket of potato Feelings,
but stops midway of her journey to
look. In every other window along
the entire row of houses beams a
face, and as the athletic maiden be-
comes more and more warmed up to
her playful and invigorating perform
ances each face grows into a group
of three, or even more. After a few
mornings of this the shaving gentle
man and the kitchen lady defer their
individual employment until the Wis
ion on the back porch starts up her
Delsartean poses.
Sometimes when she is in a specially
humorous mood she gives an imitation
of Lottie Collins celebrated rough and
tumble dance, and at such moments
the audience mods it's universal ap-
prevail Whatever her actions she's
sure of crowd of onlookers, and even
if her audience does increase daily
she frets not, so long as the faithful
tape measure tells that her chest has
widened almost half an inch after
only three months of muscle-develop
ing torture and exhibitions of graceful
war dances.

Lnngtry a shre,vd Investor.

Mrs. Langtry has not sold any of
her real estate in this country during
this visit. She paid taxes ON her Salt
Lake City property only few days
ago. She is said to be a very shrewd
investor, turning money out Of her
houses and ranch that bring her in
quite a large income. Nor during her
trip does she neglect an opportunity
for shrewd horse sale on her New
market estate. All this business is
done by cable. Only the other day
she sold horse for $3S, 900. She has
with her as a sort of general servant,
but really to look after this particu-
lar business, one of the late Squire
Abingdon's old servants. He is thor
oughly familiar with the horse market
in England. When Mrs. Langtry ar
rived here she had her own cook with
her, Jules Roche. She fitted out her
private car with new range, to give
him a chance to see what he could do.
But she got lonesome in a private car
before she had been out many weeks
and stored it again, sending the dis
appointed Roche and his assistant
back to London.

ENGLAND'S HEIR.
The York Baby Deserted by All
the Royal Family.

thS EhOS
London Letter.
1t cannot be said that the Duchess
of York has set a very good example
to the mothers Of Great Britain III
leaving her baby barely a month
after it's birth, in order to take a
trip in Switzerland, where she is to
stay for six weeks before she sees
the little fellow again. 1t is very
evident from this that her views
with regard to the duties and obliga-
lions Of mothers toward their infant
children are diametrically opposed
to those Of the Princess Of Wales
and of the queen herself. The baby
remains at the White lodge without
a single member of the family with
in reach, the Duchess Of Teck hav-
ing accompanied her daughter to
Switzerland, the Duke of York being
with his father at HOmburg, and
subsequently going TO Scotland, the
Duke of Teck and one of his sons
being in Germany, Prince Francis of
Teck being at Dublin, while Prince
Dolly is staying with the Duke of
Westminster, to whose daughter he
is engaged. Indeed there is not a
either in or near London, and the
future hope of England is left en-
tirely to doctors and employees Of
mental as we'll as of aristocratic
rank
