at City Hall.
Nothing of a definite character developed
today at the city hall in the way of infor-
nation regarding the personality of the sue
cessor of Justice Cox as a member of the
District Supreme Court
AS regards the political makeup of the
local bench. the republicans who are inter-
ested say that the new man should by all
means be of that party, as the democrats
are well represented. The statement is
made that Chief Justice Alvey and Justices
Morris and Shepard of the Court of Appeals
are democrats, having been appointed by
President Cleveland, and that Chief Justice
Bingham of the District Supreme Court and
Justice Cox have similar political affiIia-
tons.

If the reader took the time and
trou bic 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 a citizen who endorses our
claim: Albert Burton, 2S1O Fifth-and-
a-half avenue, an emPloye of the
Electric Light company, says: Il
had a 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 sets
tied in my back. 1 saw Doau's Kid
ney Pills advertised and especially
recommended for my trouble, so L
called at the Harper house drug store
and got box. After using two boxes
felt almost like new man. They
5000 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
Fcster-Milburn company, Buffalo, N.
Y, sole agents for the United States.
Remember the name Doan's and
take no substitute.
