FOOD FOR SICK SOLDIERS.
Surgeon General Sternberg Writes a Let
ter on That Subject.


Washington, Oct. 1.-THE following is
eral of the army written in reply to one
sent to the presiednt by A. E Orr vice
chairman of the Red Cross relief COM
mittee: II have received the copy of
your letter to the president. In answer
to your question as to why the inter
vention of the Red Cross relief commit
tee should be longer needed. and why
the government does not see to it that
its own sick are provided for 1 would
say: The emergencies of the war made
the assistance sf the relief associations
most valuable. Notwithstanding the fact
that il is the intention of the govern
ment to provide literally for the care
OF sick soldiers. But as you know, with
ample means and good intentions sup
plies cannot always be provided at the
proper place and time to meet an emer-
gency.
Provision was made by general or
der published Aug. 10 by which surgeons
in charge of hospitals-general, division
or regimental-are enabled TO draw so
cents per day for each sick enlisted man
Of the army in lieu of his regular ra-
tion The medical department
does not supply food for the sick in hos
pital. This is obtained from the COM
missary department or by purchase
wherever il can be procured. enclose

which can be purchased from the COM
missary, which list. as you will see. in

.'Of couse if the commissary depart

they cannot be purchased in the viein-
ity of a camp or hospital the difficulty
of providing proper food for the sick
will be very great. aISrunder such cir
cumstances the supplies of relief as

with me that 60 cents a day for the raw
material from which to prepare a prop
er diet for the sick is a most liberal
provision The experience of medical
officers shows that it is not only ample
but excessive

FULL STATEMENT OF THE TROUBLE
As It Looks from the Stand point of the
Company Manager.

Manager Lukins has made a state
ment to the Associated Press which he
begins by charging the failure OF the
Chicago-Virden Coal company TO get
its men to work at the company's price
to be due to the Vaccinations OF COM
peting coal companies. for reasons that
are evident. The manager then gives
history of the company's attempt TO get
negroes from the south at work in Nir-
den. He said: We arranged for men
and brought the first load here Sunday
morning. Sept. 25. Owing to the large
crowd OF miners here and the hostile
denominations that they made ii was
found impossible to land them without
n large loss Of life. and the train was
run through TO Springfield, where the
miners were captured by the United
Mine Workers and most of them re-
turned TO their homes

NO FALSE RETURNS.
Here Are Plain Facts Endorsed by a Rock
Island Citizen Who Resides on
Second Avenue.


Few people viii admit failure while
there is chance for argument.
MANY people claim success, when no
one rises to dispute it. What we
want to do is to place our claims
where doubt is out of the question.
We are doing this every day and Rock
Island people are beginning to appre-
ciate it, Now, to get right down to
the point, everybody knows that
there is many an aching back, many
lame and painful one. the suffering
from which makes life burden, but
having tried so many remedies, the
sufferer not finding success looks upon
all those who profess to have a cure
with all the skeptism of a skeptic;
vet one more struggle with the right
ally and the back is free. Others
have done it right here in Rock Island,
why not you? Read what Mr.. j. c..
Brown, of $40 Second avenue, who is
employed as teamster by Henry Dart 5
Sons. wholesale grocers, says:
Over two years ago my kidneys
and back began to trouble me. Since
then it has gradually become worse
and the attacks were more persistent.
1 had distressing pain in the small
of my back, n constant soreness over
my Kidneys, and if / did any lifting
sharp twinges caught me. / saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and
so highly recommended by others
who had used them that l was per-
suaded to try them, and obtained a
box at Marshall & Fishers drug store.
L could feel the beneficial effects from
their use from the start. The cure
that l anticipated was brought about
by the use of one box, the pain and
soreness over my kidneys wholly dis
appeared, and my back has been
stronger ever since. l am perfectly
satisfied that Doan's Kidney Pills are
just as represented and true kidney

POSITION OF THE ACTING GOVERNOR.
Willing to Send Troops, but Preferred
That Gov. Tanner should Act.

| Manager Lukins and Sheriff Daven-
PORT saw Acting Governor Northcott
| and told him the situation. He was
| very anxious that peace should be pre-
| served. but did not want TO act in the
| absence of Governor Tanner if 1t could
be prevented. He asked the sheriff
| and myself to keep matters If possible
in statu quo so that troops would not
be necessary until after Governor Tan
ner returned. Governor Tanner re-
turned to Springfield Sunday morning,
Oct. 3. In the meantime the situation
assumed a very threatening and dan
gerous aspect. and the sheriff wired
Governor Tanner the following on Sun
day the 9Th:
q" Please see my message of the nth to
Lieutenant Governor Northcott. The
situation has not improved, and 1 am
utterly urable to control the mob.
The town is full of armed men.
and 1 am reliably informed that 1000
more armed men will be in tonight. No
one is allowed TO enter the coal COM
pany's property without permission of
the strikers. The miners have
repeatedly violated their promises to
me to obey the law, and have commit
ted numerous acts OF violence. 1 am
utterly unable to enforce the laW,-andI
have not got nor am I able to get force
of deputies large enough to command
respect. The condition of affairs is so
serious that in order to preserve life
and property am compelled to ask that
an ample number of troops to preserve
the law be sent here at once. Please
answer
The manager next tells of the tele-
phone talk with the governor in which
the latter was informed of the situation
fully, and then of n visit to Springfield
on Monday Oct. 10. when Adjutant
General Reece was seen by Captain D.
d. Anthony and informed that it was
the intention OF the company to bring
in men, and that troops would be need
ed to prevent loss of life. Reece, the
manager is sure. did all in his power to
have troops sent and Anthony later
sent word to Lukins that he had every
reason to believe troops would be sent.
In short Lukins says that he had prac-
tical assurances-not direct from the
governor. however-that troops would
be sent in time to protect the negroes in
the train.
He then says that he was not as
sured that no troops would be at Virden
in time to meet the train until IL was
too late to prevent il coming. He closes
with the final appeal from Davenport
to the governor and the latter's reply,
which were given in these dispatches
last week

that the turbulence was all a bluff. Still
later more riotous acts were committed.
