If the reader took the time and
trouble to ask his fellow residents of
Rock Island the simple question given
below, he would obtain the one an
swer. If he would read the statements
now being published in Rock Island
papers, which refer to this answer. it
would surprise him to note that they
number so many. As many more
could be, and may be, published, but
in the meantime ask the first person
you meet what cures backache? The
answer will be Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is citizen who endorses our
claim: Albert Burton. 2S1O Fifth-and-
a-half avenue, an employe of the
Electric Light company, says: Il
had soreness across my back nearly
all the time and the kidney secretions
were irregular in every way. When
l caught the least cold it always set
tied in my back. l saw Doan's Kid
ney Pills advertised and especially
recommended for my trouble, so |
called at the Harper house drug store
and got box. After using two boxes
| felt almost like new man. They
500 relieved the soreness across my
back, and regulated the action of the
Kidneys"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price so cents. Mailed by

This is Mr.. Mackie's eighth year in

a much stronger organization than he

since Grimes Cellar Door" has been
seen in the west, and Hoyt's famous
comedian will no doubt receive a
hearty welcome upon his appearance
here. The comedy contains all the
elements of popularity designed to
please all classes of theatre goers.
One feature of the attraction lies in
the fact that Mr.. Mackie has really

WORK FOR DEWEY.
AGGRESSIVE CHAMPAIGN MARKED
OUT AT WASHINGTON.
As Soon as Dowey's Reinforcements Arrive
Naval Campaign VIII he Inaugurated,
and All the Important Islands
VIII be Occupied.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The admins
tration has determined rapidly to ex-
tend the jurisdiction of the United
States over the Philippine group in its
entirety, acting on the theory that de-
lay in this case is dangerous, and that
anarchy and a general paralysis of
such interests as the islands support
will be brought about through fail
ure promptly to replace the Spanish
sovereignty over the islands by that Of
the United States. This decision in
wolves the necessity of naval cam
paign, and this will be instituted as
soon as Admiral Dewey receives the re-
Inducements in the shape Of gnnboats
now on the way to Manila.
1t is not anticipated that there will
be necessity for any formidable dem
onstrations, but the very fact that the
United States government is able to
exhibit a sufficient force to accomplish
the purpose of occupation is expected
TO deter the natives from profitless re-
sistance Owing to the vast number
of the Philippine islands, large num-
Der of gunboats would be required to
visit them simultaneously, so the pro-
gram will have the vessels visit in order
the principal towns outside of Manila,
especially those where Spanish garri-
sons were maintained on the islands
of Cebu and at Zamboango, on the
island of Mindanao and some Of the
cities on Negro.
The naval vessels probably will be
accompanied by some troop transports,
and the soldiers will be landed where
necessary to hoist the United States
flag and take possession formally OF
the ports. 1t is understood that there
will be no attempt made at this time
to displace any of the existing munici
pal governments, except where they
prove refractory and offer resistance
In fact, policy of conciliation will be
followed at all points in the treatment
of the natives.

JOINT HIGH COMMISSION ADJ
JOURNS UNTIL AUGUST.
several Reasons Prompted This Action,
the Principal One Being Differences
Over Alaskan Boundary

Washington, Feb. 22.-The Ameri.
can-Canadian joint high commission
has adjourned to meet at Quebec Aug
ust End, unless the chairman of the
respective commissions agree upon
another date. There were several rea-
sons which prompted the action taken.
from statement made public with
the sanction of the two commissions
1T appears there were serious differ
encss of opinion between them regard
ing the important matter of the delim-
itation of the Alaskan boundary, the
canadians in this connection being
anxious to obtain seaport in Lynn
canal SO that its shippers would not be
subjected to the petty annoyances
which they asserted they experienced
at the hands Of the United States ofiic-
ials.
Then the time for the meeting of
the Canadian parliament, at which the
presence of members of the commission
from that country is desired, is over
due and the latter are anxious to re-
turn as soon as possible. 1t also be-
came apparent that there was little
likelihood of the responsibility of the
ratification by the United States senate
at its present session of any treaty
which might be framed, which proba-
bly, also figures in the decision TO ad-
journ.
