Sources.
Lots of Money Spent But No Returns Have
Been Received.

The people of Rock Island willingly
add their evidence to that which has
already been given in favor of Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids, the best remedy
that has ever been sold in Rock Island
for backache, kidney and urinary dis
orders. sleeplessness'and nervousness.
Our druggists report wonderful cures
and state that Kid-ne-oids are daily
increasing in the opinion of our peo-
pie. Kid-ne-oids act directly upon
the kidneys and nerves and restore
them to their natural condition.
Good kidneys make good blood, good
blood make strong nerves, kid-ne-
oids make COOL kidneys and strong
nerves.
Mrs. Belle Skinner, secretary of the
Woman's Relief corps, and residing at
No. 739 Fifteenth street. says: Il
have been a sufferer from kidney
trouble for several months; it became
so bad that | was confined to my bed
and had inflam mmation of the bladder.
NV back was so lame l could not arise
from sitting position without great
pain and the assistance of some one.
NY nerves were very poor and my
eyesight was affected. At that time
| did not know it was caused from my
kidneys being out of order, but
since | have taken Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids and nay kidney and bladder are
cured. my eyesight is also much i'm
proved. l have taken altogether
three boxes of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids

Here's a Slavery Problem.

In one of his recent speeches in Ne
braska, William j. Bryan was asked
what he thought of the treaty OIL
agreement with the sultan of Sulu,
permitting slavery in those islands
with a condition that the slaves might
buy their own freedom. MIR. Bryan
replied:
And how long would it take slave
working for nothing to acquire money
enough to buy his own freedom? Oi
course, the treaty is indefensible

publican leader, signed the emancipa'
tion proclamation, and now the repub b.

TIE richest man in South Africa is
Joseph B. Robinson. known as ''Old
j. B." In the early 7O's he had bat
$500. with which he started grocery
store at Bloemfontein, the capital of
the Orange Free State. After several
years he failed. The diamond
mines at Kimberley had just been
discovered, but Kimberley was 200
miles Off. How were he and his wife
to get there? They walked, and it
took them three weeks to make the
Journey. depending on the charity of
the settlers along the way for susie
nance. On the outskirts of Kimber-
ley Robinson kicked up a diamond
from the dust which he sold shortly
after for 81 eco. He started in with
that money as a diamond dealer, and
everything he touched turned TO gold.
Shortly he had diamond mines of his
own. Then gold was discovered, and
Robinson bought what afterward
proved to be the richest mine in the
Rand. His present fortune is esti-
mated AT $500, 900. 600.
