Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1898-11-12

Yesterday morning the six negroes
We're taken out and escorted to the
nOrth-bound train by detachment of
militia. TO be banished from the city.
The citizens cheered as they saw them
going, for they considered their depar-
ture conducive to peace in the future.
The men We're started for Richmond.
This is the beginning of a general
movement to rid the town of the turbu-
lent negro leaders. 1t is not proposed
to use violence, but to send them away
with instructions not to return. Squads
of men are out searching for the most
notorious chara tiers. and they will be de-
ported a 5 fast as they are found. Thurs
day night the white Republican deputy
sheriff. q. Z. French, left the city. He
was followed to the train and narrowly
escaped violence. A party of men went
into the car determined to take him
out, but they We're persuaded to let him
go.
French was prominent in Republic
an politics and has been charged with
organizing the negroes. Several white
men of the community who have be-
come obnoxious from their leadership
of and association with negro politics,
are also to be depOrted. Notice was
served upon three of them Thursday
morning to leave, and they went.
They are eX-Chief of Police Melton

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE
Or Are Your Nerves Fidgetye

This is not an impudent question.
You would pay your doctor so cents
or 81 to ask YOU the same thing with
few more questions, and think it all
right.
We ask the question, charge moth
ing, then sell you a box of Morrow s
Kid-ne-oids for half dollar, and let
YOU get over it. There is no remedy
on the market which strikes the blow
at nervousness and backache as does
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. They are not
nerve duller, either, but a nerve
strengthener. Beware of nerve dull
ers. They contain some strong mar
cotics which braces you up now and
leaves YOU worse tomorrow. Kid-ne-
oids destroy the germ that is killing
the nerves, and the nerves turn back
and grow strong again. When you
have pain in your head, back, limbs
and body you may depend upon it that
something is radically wrong with
your nerves.
Miss Lizzie Johnston, 313 Fillmore
street, saws: Il have been in very
bad condition with kidney trouble; it
was impossible for me to sleep and
got very little rest day or night. l
was extremely nervous and had Sc
we're pain across the small of my back.
NY most alarming and annoying
symptom was a very excessive and
frequent discharge of the secretions
of the kidneys, which were in very
unhealthy condition. / doctored for
a year or more with physicians and
was constantly growing worse. l
took number of different kinds of
patent medicines and kidney pills,
some for months without neglect, but
nothing l could get would do me any
lasting good until l got Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids at Frank Nader Il Co.'s
drug store, which l had read about.
/ took them for few weeks and the
good they did me was simply Won
derful.
Il think every one who is suffering
with kidney trouble should stop ex-
perimenting with doctors and patent
medicines and take Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids, because they will cure"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are yellow tab
lets (not pills) and curea all kidney all
ment, nervousness, sleeplessness, etc.
They are put up in wooden bO OXes which
contain enough tablets for about two
weeks treatment. They are for sale
by all first-class druggists or mailed
by the manufacturers on receipt of
price, so cents.

SAME TROUBLE IN ILLINOIS
With Two Stories of Its Origin just Like
There Is Elsewhere.

Pana, Ills. Nov. 12-Pana is again in
the throes of intense excitement. The
imported negroes are becoming desper-
ate and the union miners are growing
restless. Troop B, of Bloomington, re-
mains on duty here, but seems to ac-
complish nothing. Almost nightly in the
Flat Ham" district the negro residents
practice shooting at every white man
who passes through the district. The
negroes have been heavily armed by
the mine operators. with the full knowl-
edge of the soldiers. and they use their
guns. Thursday night the residences
of several white miners were shot full
of holes by negroes. a widow with three
children had her cottage shot almost to
pieces, several charges barely missing
her three sleeping babes.
II the negroes attempt the least dem
onstration there will be an awful calam-
ity. A consignment of 100 Marin ri
fies was received here yesterday for
citizens who intend to protect their
property and families, claiming that no
protection is given them by the sheriff
or troops.

ored miner left the Office of the Pana
Coal company about Z p. m for his

crossing the Baltimore and Ohio track
he was fired upon from behind the box
cars He returned to the office and an
hour later again started home. He was
fired upon again by five men concealed
behind the cars. The negro was re-
enforced soon by several Of his COM
rades. and a volley was exchanged be
tween the two sides. Major Butler and
Deputy Watts soon arrived. but, as
usual. all assaiIarts had fed. Major

who is now in this city. made a state
ment yesterday to the correspondent Of
the Associated Press of his personal
views regarding the Hispano-Ameri-
car situation. He is here primarily as
the representative before the Spanish
peace commission Of La Production Ma
ciOnal, a society organized to protect
the interestsof Spanish products. But h
also directly represents the Spanish as
sociation of snip owners and brokers,
and he is president of the Spanish col

which pays the interest on the so-called

of Spain he is not less prominent than
in her financial affairs. The marquis is
president Of the Credit Mercantile, an

Of the COmpania Trans-Atlartica, OF
Barcelona, which carried the greater
part Of Spain's troops to Cuba. and vice
president OF the Northern railroad of
Spain.
Looks Like He May BE Interested.
Besides this he is honorary president
of the National Council Of Laborers'
Corporations and Of certain laborers'
unions. Obviously Marquis de Comillas
is profoundly interested in the results
OF the peace negotiations. While he has
been distressed at the immediate effect
Of the war upon the undertakings he
represents he is even more cUncernd
about the consequences which might en-
sue upon a treaty Of peace embOdying

Marquis de Comillas said: 1T is
perhaps. presumption on my part TO
assume that the American people will
attach any Importance to what l say.
Yet there are circumstances. even CON
nected with this war. that lead me to
hope I shall have IA respectful hearing.
Spaniards are not unmindful of the
noble and generous treatment Spanish
prisoners Of war have received at the
hands Of a victorious army and navy al
the moment Of our defeat, and of sub
sequent generous care and treatment.

Lieutenant HobsOn by Admiral Cervera.

But row that desired effect has been
obtained I cannot comprehend what
reason the Americans have TO retain
that land in their power. Spain is
mortally hurt in her commerce
and industry. The Americans are alb
solute strangers 10 the Philippines and
their population. The FfUpinos
have a certain degree OF culture and
some rudirnentary ideas as to public
administration. but as a whole the
country is not yet capable of self-gov-
ernment. The c=ssion Of sovereignty
over the Philippines 10 the United
States would be disastrous to all those
having business interests there-as well
fOr the ratives as for the Spaniards
and for Europeans of every nationality.
Spain cannot transfer her Philippine
sovereignty to the United States by
mere clause in a peace treaty. The
United States would be confronted with
n war for the subjugation Of 5000. .0C0
Malayars- This would mean the de-
struction Of all property in the Philip
pines. Trade and commerce would be
paralyzed there The merchants and
manufacturers Of Spain would Lose the
markets they Tow enjoy. their factories
would suspend and their employees lie
idle.
The whole population Of Mindanao
and the archipelago Of the Visayas. and
the great body OF the inhabitants OF
Luzon symp2tEize with Spain. and have
defended her cause with arms IN mast

and order. The complete change in the
municipal government effected Thurs
day night with some sUddenn6ss, but
great unanimity. has placed men in con-
troll of local affairs representing the
best elem -nts OF the city. The firm hand
of the law is being laid upon the town,
and is holding in restraint all classes
which might threaten disorder. The
new policemen were instructed to pre-
vent any attempts to teTrorize the ne
groes, as well as to frUstratc acts Of
lawlessness by the latter.

Immediately. and the new officials
called upon as soon as they had
taken taken their seats to make
good their promises to preserve
order. A big lynchirg party was planned
for Thursday night. and it required all
that the mayor and his associates could
