OUR RESOURCES.
United States Can Provide All
Necessary Resources For Its
War and Sell to Other Nations
At the Same Time.

Necessary Resources For LIS
War and Sell to Other Nations
AT the Same Time.
It is a matter of national pride
that such a satisfactory showing
has followed the war excitement as
to center the attention of the world
upon the fact of the enormous re.
sources of this country. One thing
is surely accomplished-the con-
vincing of other nations OF our
great power In producing every
thing needed in the event of hos
tllities being prolonged. Not only
are the Spanish army and navy now
eating our -four, but we can feed
several other nations at the same
time.
All of the war material as we'll
as the supplies for our army
and navy Is produced here, and by
citizens whose patriotism is well
known. Our armor plate is the
best in the world, and Russia is 80
far convinced of this fact that she
has recently placed an order with
American manufacturers for a
quantity sufficient for two battle
ships. Japan is also buying] The
armor-piercing and deoK.piercing
shot and shells made here are not
equaled on the of the globe.
Other countfies understand this and
purchase ilberally. Our dynamite
guns are so far ahead Of the rest
of the world that they practically
stand alone. Ask the struggling
Cubans about the destructiveness
of these guns. The automobile
torpedoes made in the United States
after the Whitehead pattern are
so much more effective than the
original that the English and Aus
trian manufacturers are despond-
ent. Our diriglble torpedoes eclipse
everything of the kind in Europe
and are being sought after by for
eigners.
Everything IS produced here,
Nothing is lacking, from hard tack
to thirteen-lnch guns, and from
armor piercing shells to a simple
lanyard, and the great credit is
due to American genius and enter
prise and capital, which should be
patronized in preference to all
others.
While this government has been
of late buying vessels for the navy
to meet an emergency, nobody
questions our ability to build war
ships as good as the best. Our
shipyards are we'll equipped TO turn
out fast and powerful fighting
ships. And while we are congratu-
lating ourselves on this grand show.
ing those in authority should re-
member that we will need more
battleships two or three years
hence, and that now is the time
to make the contracts. Many
small yards are ready to rush out
patrol boats, torpedo boats, dis
patch boats, and smaller craft. At
no distant day the United States
will be the best market for war
material OF all kinds, and the at
tention of other nations is already
directed hitherward.-Army and
Navy Journal.

Liver troubles quickly result in serious

will keep the liver in perfect order. If the
disease has developed, Browns Iron Bitters
will cure it permanently. Strength and
vitality will always follow its use.

Sixth Affecting Moline Boys.
The 9th regiment. Illinois volun-
teers, had most extraordinary acct
dent Yesterday. Private Hodge, Com
pany +, Moline. was taken with severe
cramps and was sent to the division
hospital. Private Berglen, also of
Company F, washed his face at a pool
in the woods, and in an hour it was
swollen to twice its size. and both
eyes were closed tight. 1t is proba-
bic that a poison oak grew i'll the
spring. Private Calkins went swim
ming in pool in the woods. dived
into the water without knowing its
depth, and hurt his head and neck
severely against the bottom. Pri-
vate NJ. Kay went in swimming at the
beach in Washington, and was taken
with cramps and was only saved by
the efforts of the lifesaver on duty
there.
Mrs. S. X. Hall. in the name of the
WOman's Relief association of Morri-
son. H., sent barrel of toilet articles
to Company | of the 9th Illinois. The
barrel contained towels, soap, brushes
and other articles for every member
of the company. A more welcome
present it would he hard to imagine.
The 9TH Illinois was hard at work
burning brush. Its camp is now one
Of the cleanest and best looking there.
1t is now reported that next Mon
day six regiments, constituting two
brigades, Of troops now at Camp AL
ger will start on journey to Fernan-
dina, Fla. 1t is believed in Camp AL
ger that the I'd brigade of the LIST d.
vision and the unattached regiments
which would have constituted the 1st
brigade of the Sd division are those
which have received orders to 90 to
the front. The "a brigade of the 1st
division includes the 9th Illinois. in
Guiding Company A, of Rock Island.
and Company F, of Moline, the Sth
Ohio and the 9th Massachusetts. 1t
is commanded by Gen. Garetson. of
Cleveland, Ohio. who has long been Il
personal and political friend of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The members of all the favored
regiments were delighted yesterday
to hear this news, but the JOY of the
boys Of the 9th Illinois knew no
bounds. They were rs much clated
as the men of the 9TH Illinois were
depressed. Col. Kavanagh's men
cordially congratulated their brethren
Of the 9th on account Of the good luck
which had bcfallen the latter. but
they could not conceal their dsap-
lpointment that they, too. were not
authorized to take part in the forward
movement.

Death of Sanford Pickenpaugh

The death of Mr.. Sanford Picken-
paugh which occurred at his home
on Front street on Monday morning,
June 9th, removes one Of our Oldest
citizens and man whom every one
knew and respected. He would have
completed his S7th year had he lived
until the 30th of October next, having
been born on that day in 1871. He
was born in what is now Cass dis
trlct, a very short distance from the
Usage Mill one mile west Of Randall
where his father settled almost CEN
fury ago. When lad he came to
Morgantown and was apprenticed to
James Shay to learn the tailor's trade.
He made such progress that one year
before his term OF service expired he
was given entire charge Of the bust
ness. Some time later he went into
business for himself and for a half
century had large trade. He con-
tinued to occupy the shop where he
had always worked that stood on
Walnut street where Fred Behring'S
stone front now stands until about
three years ago when he suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis that pre-
vented him from giving further at
tention to business. Mr. Pickenpaugh
was widely known and his establish
ment was famous for its production.
Many men who are now well up in
years themselves will tell that Mr..
Pickenpaugh made their wedding
suits. Fifty-two years ago Mr..
Pickenpaugh moved to the home on
Front street that he has occupied ever
since and where he reared his family.
Mr. Pickenpaugh was an interesting
talker. Few men had wider ac-
quaintance and few remembered men
as well as he did. He had a rich fund
of information about local matters
that was always interesting. His life
partner survives him, but she in the
course of events cannot remain long
A Son, Mr.. Samuel Pickenpaugh and
daughter Miss Emeline are left both
of whom reside at the old home. De-
ceasee was an uncle OF Mr.. Thornton
Pickenpaugh and Mrs. Nj. Hennen of
this place. The funeral will occur on
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock from
his late residence; interment in Oak
Grove.
