GREEK CABINET RESIGNS.
The Boule Refuses to Give Ralll q Vote
of Confidence.

of Confidence.
Athens, Oct. 1.-At the session of tho
boule to-day Prime Minister Ralli pre-
scented the preliminary treaty of peace
with Turkey. He deplorcd the onerous
conditions imposed on Greece, but said
he was of tho opinion that the country
must submit to the superior might of
Europe.
Continuing, NJ. Ralli said that the gov,
ernmelit, after careful consideration, was
convinced that renewal OF hostilities
was inadvisable. Nevertheless, it could
not propose the acceptance of the treaty
by the chamber, as such action would
prejudice the chambers freedom of de.
cision. When the final treaty came to
be discussed the government would be
prepared to undertake the responsibility
OF accepting the decision IF the concert of
the powers and of negotiating final
treaty 18th the porte and tie financial
arrangements with the powers and the
bondholders. 1t would first. however,
ask tue support of the chamber.
Ex' Prime Minister Delyannis, the
leader of the opposition, whose party is
in u majority in the chamber, made
long ramblin0 speech, in which he said
his parry could no LONGER support the
government, inasnuch AS it was consd-
cred that the acute stage of the peace
negotiations had passed.
Several prominent members of the
chamber deprecated making party mat.

importance. NJ. Ralli's motion demand.

bers abstuined from voting
Subsequent to the announcement of the

Fulton People File Bill for An.
other Injunction.
THINK THEY HAVE A sNAP.

Tho Special Advantage Of . Master In
Chaucsry Such That the Homo Juds .
Should Not Longer Countenance such
transactions.
1t comes on reliable authority that
the Fulton people have perfected and
filed with the circuit clerk of VIII, te.
side county another injunction re-
straining the Modern Woodmen from
moving to Rock Island. and which
Master in Chancery C. j. McPherran
has granted. The securing Of the
second injunction before the first is
disposed OF Is o presumption that
Judge Bigelow will dis solve the
pending proceedings, and in thus
forecasting the result of the courts
deliberations is an evidence of con-
tempt as we'll as an admission that
the Fulton people have no confidence
in their own case, and it bears out
their threat to keep the office there
by hook or by crock. The
people there realize the advantage of
having master in chancery whom
it is construed is qualified to act and
thus aid them in their obstructing
practices by reason of Judge Ram
says former Identification with the
Fulton side Of the case. 1t is hardly
fair to presume that the Whiteside

nance such q course Of procedure.

Nor can Judge Ramsay disregard
the responsibility for a CONTINUATION
OF the proceedings. The Whiteside
master in chancery is his special ap-
Pointee, and Judge Ramsay, who was
elected as much by the vote of Rock
Island county as of the Whiteside,
to administer the ends of jus.
tice despite all else, and who
is looked to to be just, may be
called upon to put stop 20 the ex-
ercise of local authorit, which is
clearly to thwart any act that Judge
Bigelow may perform in the case

est of justice. No one has q right to

chancery are thus to prearrange
to counteract whatever court
may do with their previous acts, we
may as we'll dismiss the Judges and
let the master rule the roost. I,
does, indeed. look as if it was time
tor Judge Ramsay to act to prevent
his own master from insulting his

A Serious Subject.
That Will Well Repay Our
Citizens to Carefully
Consider.

Kidneys can't talk. but If you don't
treat them rightly you will hear from
them.
They have q language of their own,
this IS how they tell you:
When you work too hard what fol-
lows? You are tired, aren't voue
It's just the same with the kid
neyf; they get tired, they have so
much to do.
You stoop over at some occups-
ton.
You strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far, or ride too far.
You call this over exertion. You
cannot sleep when night comes.
Your back aches. Your head
aches. Often you ache all over.
Oh, you say, it's because I'm tired
out.
Now this isn't right, it's because
your kidneys are tired.
They can only do just SO much:
and the lifting. STOPPING, straining
or exerting has retarded their action.
The heart has pumped the blood
into them faster than they could
filter it.
The filter 10 overtaxed and be.
comes clogged.
They cry for assistance in many
aches that follow.
Nothing starts the kidneys work
ing so quickly as Doan's Kidney
Pills.
1t is useless to take them for any
disorder of the stomach or dersnRe.
ment of the liver.
Indirectly they will help such
troubles by throwing OF some of the
effete or waste matter of the BODY
through the kidneys; but they WON'T
cure liver complaint any more than
they will cure consumption.
They are non-purgative. easy to
take, convenient to carry; they pro.
duce no reaction and can be given to
the weakest child.

THIS lsAMEw CIRCUS IDEA



Xea Can RsAs to B.r,.n . Baiss.S B,g
show On . Dssyose.
One of the newest innovations in
circus Management 10 the introduc.
ton OF q bicycle checking depart
ment by Bsrnum & Bailey. Who win
bring the Greatest Show on Earth to
Rock Island next Saturday.
A large number of excursions have
been arranged with special rates on
every railroad running into this
city. and circus day is expected to
bring large crowd. The season
has begun unusually we'll for Barnum
& Bailey. Not only was there . big
ger rush than usual for seats in NJ &C .
ron Square garden during the New
York run of the show, but since the
business has been big. The idea of
a"'summer circus" has taken we'll in
the south. where shows usually 90
only in the late fall. Barnum &
Bailey never before eqoalled their
business of this season in Baltimore
and Washington; and at Richmond,
Atlanta and other places in the south
they had to stop selling tickets. The
papers of all these cities say that
Barnum & Bailey have accomplished
the seemingly impossible feat of sur
passing all their previous perform
apces.
So many applications were made
at the r. Mt door for permission to
leave wheels in charge of employees
that it was decided Immediately after
the present tour began to provide
a tent near the main entrance where
machines could he checked, brass
tags issued to the owners and per-
feet security be assured. Wheelmen
are glad to avail themselves of the
opportunity to leave their bikes in
responsible hands, and bicycle cir
Gus parties have become popular
along the Barnum q Bailey route.
In Washington, Baltimore. Rich.
mond. Atlanta and Augusta, q large
number of "circus runs" were or.
ganized for the matinee performance.
and the bicy clists of this city will
undoubtedly follow suit.
Peter. the 22-inch dwarf, is prov.
ing the biggest attraction that has
been brought to this country in
years. Tom Thumb in his day was
considered wonderful dwarf. but be
was a giant compared to this newest
and smallest of all midgets.
Particular attention is called tt
the fact that Peter the giantess, the
Orissa twins. the fire eaters. the
weird musicians and the human ap
pearing gorilla, Johanna, are all il
the big show. One ticket admits to
everything that they advertise in ad
vance.
