NO GUESS WORK HERE.
All Rock Island People Have TO Do Is to
Follow the Example of Fellow
Citizens.

Facts are stubborn,
Some may be disputed.
None can be disproved.
A fact is the opposite of fiction;
Is always hedged about with proof;
Has to stand the test of inyestiga-
ton;
Or it drifts to the realms of doubt.
Investigate closely the following.
The closer the scrutiny the more
convincing the result.
A Rock Island citizen speaks here;
Speaks from experience and convic-
ton;
Relates stubborn facts.
That may be disputed but cannot
be disproved.

THE attorney general of Ohio has
found a new way of getting after the
trusts. Most of these are incorpor-
ated in New jersey, where but a
single stock liability exists, and he
holds that such corporations can not
do business in state which has dou-
BILE stock qualifications. Should his
contention be upheld. he will succeed
in driving several hundred New Jer-
sew concerns out of business in Ohio,
with their millions of capital, or COM
pei them to reorganiZe under the
Ohio laws. He has already COM
menced proceedings against the Con-
tinental Tobacco company, of Newark,
n. j., which has capital stock of
$75 600, 900, over IS, 600, 900 of which
is invested in Ohio. But the Hanna
dominated republican convention re-
Gently held in that state was careful
to fix it so that the present trust
opposing attorney general of that
state will step out of office the coming
fall-provided the republican ticket
wins in Ohio.

IMPEACHMENT OF GOMEZ
The Aged Warrior Condemned il
Open Session.
ONLY TWO DEFENDED THEIR Chief.
Assembly Declares That s3,OOO,OOO Is
Not Enough, and That tho Man
Who Has Led Them for Years
Is Traitor.

HAVANA The Cuban military as
sembly i'll public sessions Saturday
afternoon impeached General Maxine
Gomez and removed him from con-
mand as general in chief of the Cuban
army, the ballot first taken resulting
in twenty-four votes being cast in sup
port of the motion to impeach and re-
move General Gomez, against four in
opposition. The meeting lasted from
2 o'clock until 7.
General Gomez's only supporters
we're General Cespedes and General
Nunez. The original motion, which
was introduced by Senior Manuel San
gully, provides for the abolition of
the grade of general in chief, but an
amendment was offered to this by
Senior Aguerro which read 'to abolish
the grade of general in chief and to
remove General Gomez for failure in
his military duties AID disobedience
to the assembly,"
Senior Aguerro declared that Gomez
was insubordnate and should be pun
ished, and Senor Sanguilly insinuated
that the general was traitor to Cuba.
Much passion was evident in the
speeches, in some of which Gomez was
declared to have been delinquent in
his duties and disobedient because he
had accepted the proposition of Robert
P. Porter, President McKinley's
special emissary, without consulting
the assembly; because he had taken
upon himself the arrangements for the
payment and disarming of the Cuban
forces, independent of the assembly;
and because he had declared to the
assembly that he would observe its
rulings, in so far as he considered
them beneficial to Cuba. The assem-
bly, again declared that the So, 900, 900
was insufficient, and that it has not
yet accepted the proposition. The
discussion Of this question will soon
be taken up, now that General Gomez
has been removed.
Senior Gonzales de Quesada, who ac-
companied Mr.. Porter in Cuba, was
attacked by Seniors Gaulberto Gomez,
Sanguilly and Aguerro, who declared
that he acted in bad faith and had de-
ceived them. Senor A9uerro likened
the present conditions confronting the
assembly to those that confronted the
French chamber when it was proposed
to impeach President MacMahon.
Colonel Moro and General Nunez
declared that the present step was use
less and would make the assembly
ridiculous in the eyes of the world.
General Gomez is believed to be
stronger than the assembly in the at.
fection of the Cuban army. Many
privates are anxious to leave the army
and go to work, especially when they
are able to obtain money to start them
in life anew.
The position of the assembly is nota
bly weak, as the military administers
ton supports General Gomez as do als'
the planters and property owning ele
ment, who are tired of the Cuban army
which subsidies half upon charity ano
half upon contributions levied by
means of threats.

SMALLPOX IN TEXAS.
Thus Far Five Hundred Cases Officially
Reported.

A special from Laredo, Texas, sayo:
There have been about 500 cases of
smallpox officially reported in this city
since the outbreak of the disease some
weeks ago.
A number of prominent citizens be-
coming dissatisfied at the continual
spread of the plague, have telegraphed
petition to the state health officer,
DIR. Blunt, asking that the state Off
GERS take charge of the suppression of
the epidemic, averring that the ap-
preaching city election causes the city
and county officials to be too lenient in
handling the matter.
The victims of the smallpox SO fal
have been almost exclusively among
the Mexicans, only a few Americans
having been STRICKEN.
Acting on the petition, it is expected
party of state health officers and de-
tachment Of rangers will be sent here
and either establish house quaran
tine or pesthcuse in the outskirts of
the city, where all cases will be taken
as soon as discovered.
Governor Sayers last Friday de
clared quarantine against the city of
Laredo and the counties of Webb and
Encinal, on account of the alarming
prevalence of smallpox there. The
quarantine does not seek to interfere
with through freight and passenger
business from Mexico, which can come
through undisturbed, provided they
have clean bills of health. The quar-
antine is put into immediate effect.

The weight of metal is forty-eig ht
tons. Much interest is centered in the
removal of the treasure from the sub
treasury in New York. A large crowd
gathered and watched the proceedings.
Captain Littell, of the quarter
masters department, had charge OF
the detachment of the soldiers from
the forts in this neighborhood. There
we're about fifty men, each with Krag-
Jorgensens and a full belt of cartridges.
They formed in line at the treasury
building and the boxes and safes OF
coin were passed out between them.

THE TENTH IMMUNES
Made Bad Record in the Tar Heel
State.

Made Bad Record in the Tar Heel
A telegram from Raleigh, N. c.,
says: Further particulars in regard to
the conduct of the Tenth Immunes
were received here from the towns
along the Seaboard Air Line.
Between Atlanta and Monroe they
shot Flagman Sam Sealy in the heel,
inficting painful wound.
At Monroe they raided the dispen-
sary, carrying off some seventy five
packages of whisky.
At Henderson they came near kill
ing an old white man named Crozier.
In Weldon, the last point at which
they stopped in this state, their con-
duct was the worst. At the point of q
pistol they forced John Battle, a
worthy colored man, to drink seven
glasses of whisky. Battle fell down
senseless soon after drinking the
liquor and died before physician
could be summoned.
The riotous troops forced their way
into stores and saloons, taking what
ever they wanted.
They fred upon a switchman who
failed to run at their command and
spoke insultingly to those whom they
met upon the streets.

No Commission for Gen. Wheeler.

Gen. Joe Wheeler will not receive
an army commission from the Presi-
dent, wires the st. Louis Republics
correspondent from Washington. This
was settled during an interview be-
tween the President and the gallant
soldier statesman. Under the circum-
stances it was thought better for the
general to retain his seat in congress,
and the decision is generally accepted
as final and in accordance with the
personal wishes of Gen. Wheeler.
