ment of the rights of sealing is another
factor which the Canadians consider quite
as important as the value of the present
fleet. Questions relating to the great lakes
were taken up by special commission this
afternoon. These included controversies
over the number of warships which are to be
maintained and built on the lakes, fishing
rights, navigation and wrecking privileges
and various questions arising out of the
treaty of 1877.
In view of a report current in London
that the Bering sea question had been final
ly settled, it was stated in an authoritative
quarter today that such a settlement had not
been reported. The status is about the same
as it was week ago, except that a large
amount OF expert testimony has been taken,
the two sides waiting to shape the utmost
concessions which each will grant.

Sagasta Is Satisfied

MADRID, Nov. 29.-Sagasta showed
much emotion on learning that the Spanish
commission in Paris had formally agreed to

enemy of America, with the consequent
closing of her markets if they opposed the

ASTHMA CURED AT LAST
DIR. Il. Schinmann Proves His Faith In His
Remedy by Giving 1t Away.

DIR. Rudolph Schiffmann is a re-
cognized authority on the subject OF
throat and lung diseases and has, dur
ing Il practice of over thirty years,
undoubtedly treated and cured more
cases of asthma and kindred diseases
than any doctor in the world. He
announces that he has at last perfect
ed n remedy which not only instantly
relieves the worst attacks but has per-
manently cured thousands of so-called
''incurable cases." DR.. Schiffmann
has perfect confidence in his remedy
andsin order to convince others of its
merits in the quickest, surest way, he
has arranged with the well known
druggist, +. ii. Thomas, 1880 Second
avenue, to give liberal sample pack
age to each sufferer applying at his
store next Thursday. An opportunity
to test, without cost, a remedy 50
celebrated and promising so much,
certainly should be eagerly grasped by
every sufferer. Those living out of
town will be sent n free sample not
later than Sept. 30 By writing simply

seemed to develop into hasty con-

Discovery in store, and selling lots OF

Plans were adopted and bids asked
for the improvement of the levee at
last nights meeting of the city coun-
Gil. 1t is the expectation to award the
contract at the regular October ses-
sion in order that there may be about
two months of favorable weather in
which to carry on the work. The
plans adopted are those prepared by
Engineer Jacob A. Harmon, and pro-
vide for a 4-foot stone wall along the
low water mark, the brick
paving extension of Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets and
the matchmaking of the blocks and
Nineteenth street, the whole to cost
SO, ,271. Beneath the pavement
there will be six inches of concrete,
and the Telford macadam will be in
stalled, thus in the opinion of Mr.
Mr.. Harmon insuring an improve
ment that will look and wear well.
The plans were gone over by the
with Aid. Pender in the chair, and
but one change was ordered, and that
at the ferry landing, where the slope
of the wall is to be made more easy
for the accommodation of the dock.
Aid. Gall, from a special committee,
reported that at a meeting of the
Ferry company Monday afternoon
81. 800, the amount promised some
time ago, had been voted for the i'm
provement of the river front, and
that the committee expected to hear
from the Burlington and Terminal
folks before the next meeting of the
council. A vote of thanks was ex-
tended to the Ferry company for its
donation.
And thus comes to the people of
Rock Island the realization of four
Eears of honest, earnest tpublic-spirited
effort.
City Attorney Marshall, in giving
an opinion as to the best manner in
which to proceed in order for the city
to acquire all private sewers, doubted
whether it could be done bv ordinance.
He held the owner had property
right and prospective reimbursement
in that those who desired to connect
with the sewer builded by him was
first required to pay n proportion of
the original cost. But he thought
there would be no difficulty in obtain
ing consent to the possession of the
private sewers by the city, as the
would transfer the expense
of maintainence to the municipality. a
that the majority of the
owners would gladly get from under
if given an opportunity.

NO 10 O'CLOCK LUNCH.
Food That Sustains the Body After Com
mon Food Is Exhausted.

With many people there comes a
feeling of faintness and need for food
before the noon hour is reached. This
is generally because of the use of
white bread and other non-nourishing
articles of food used for breakfast. 1t
is a cause of comment among those
who use the concentrated food, Grape
Nuts, that no feeling of hunger is felt
until the noon hour. The facts show
forth that the food is sustaining and
nourishing and feeds the body hours
after the power of ordinary food is ex-
hausted.
A few days trials of Grape-Nuts tells
the tale.

SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.
To the Honorable Board Of Supervisors Of Grant
county, Wis.
GENTLEMEN:-I have the honor to submit
for your inspection and consideration the
following report containing statistics taken
from the official reports of the several town
clerks of Grant county, for the year ending
June 80, 1898, together with other matters
relating to the educational interests of the
county which may merit your attention.
The following table is believed to be sub
stantially correct yet it is thought that
greater care on the part of the district clerks
in taking the census of the school population
would result in greater accuracy in this i'm
portant item.
A recent law requires that the school sta
tistics ofincorporated villages be made sep
arate from the town in which the village is
situated. In the village of Hazel Green the
school house of the district comprising the
village is not situated within the incorpora-
ton; hence the village statistics are includ-
ed in the town.
