Northcott.

Hon. William A. Northcott, of
Greenville, lieutenant governor OF
Illinois, and head consul of the great
order of Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca, is in the city today on business
pertaining to the order. He was
joined here by Director Smith, who
remained over after the directors
meeting for that purpose, and this
evening they go to Kansas City. The
lieutenant governor is exhibiting with
much pride the diamond shirt stud
presented to him by the state senate
before adjournment Friday, as hereto
fore spoken of. Il am doubly proud
of the gift" said the lieutenant gov
ernor, because it came Us the gift of
the entire senate body, and not from
merely partisan friends, and 1 take it
therefore as a manifestation of APP
proval of my administration of an
office as a public servant, and thus is
most gratifying. There is just one
thing that the senate could have done
to touch me more deeply, and that
was what it did do-to have paid
such a graceful tribute to my wife,"

Walter Reeves. of Streator, j. G.. Can
non, of Danville, and w. J. Calhoun,

array of republican talent can be pre-
sented without the appearance of

A Narrow Escape.

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Groton, S. D.: WAS taken
with bad cold which settled on my
lungs; cough set in and finally ter
minated in consumption. Four doc
tors gave me up, saying could live
but short time. gave myself up
to my Savoir, determined if 1 could
not stay with my friends on earth, 1
would meet my absent ones above.
My husband was advised to get DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and Colds. 1 gave it a
trial, took in all eight bottles. 1t has
cured me, and thank God l am saved
and now a well and healthy woman. "

Nuisances.

Complaint has been made to THE
ARGUS of the toe-stubbing sidewalk
caps to water and gas surface connec-
tions in various parts of the city.
The settlement of new made walks
has had the effect of allowing these
caps to stand up just a sufficient dis
lance above the surface of the walks
to be unobserved, but at the same
time to furnish obstruction to STUN
BILE upon. Some action by the coun-
Gil looking to the remedying of the
annoyance would be proper.
Another nuisance is the waste paper
that is constantly thrown upon the
streets. A system of waste paper
boxes such as Davenport has, backed
up by penalty for all people who
cast paper on the street, would ac-
complish wonders in keeping the
streets in tidy appearance at any
rate.

"A Protracted War in the Philippines.

A marked difference of opinion has
arisen between Gen. Otis and Gen.
Lawton as to the proper policy of wal
TO be pursued in the Philippines, grow
ing out of the recall of Gen. Lawton
from his victorious invasion of the La
de Guna province and the abandon
ment of Santa Cruz and other captur-
ed towns to the Filipinos. Gen.
Lawton holds that Santa Cruz at least,
should be garrisoned and held. Gen.
Lawton made statement yesterday,
the publication of which he authorized.
He said that in his opinion it would be
necessary for the United States to
send 100, 900 troops to the Philippine
islands if the natives continue hostile
He said that it was essential to garri-
son all the cities captured or that are
20 be captured in the future opera
tions if the instruction was to be put
down. Gen. Lawton's opinion is
given n great deal of weight among
the officers in Washington. They say
his wide experience with guerrilla
warfare makes him a most capable
Judge of the situation. John t,
McCutcheon the Chicago Records cor
respondent in the Philippines, cabled
his paper last night saying: when
1 left Paete today, where the main
body of Gen. Lawton's force is
stationed prior to the return to Manila,
the insurgents were busy building
earthworks on the hill tops overlook
ing Paete. They were working in
plain view of the American troops.
The withdrawal of the Americans
under these conditions unquestionably
will be construed by the insurgents as
a confession on the part of the
of their inability to hold
the position taken In consequence
of this opinion there will be great
revival of confidence among the
insurgents and they will be more
willing to continue the fighting. Had
the towns been held the Filipinos
undoubtedly soon would have lost
hope and laid down their arms"
And from an authentic Washington
authority comes the semi-official
statement that the president is getting
ready to call for 5000 volunteers to
enlist in a provisional army in the
Philippines.

Soldier In Hard Luck.

Louis A. Marvin, aged, crippled,
and partially deaf, applied to Sheriff
Cralle for lodging at the county Jail
last night. He was provided with
food and comfortable place to sleep.
Marvin is an old soldier, having
received a number of wounds in
battle. He says he assisted in the
capture of jefferson Davis. He
stated that his home is in Nebraska
that he came on to Des Moines to
attend the funeral of a relative and
while there was robbed of consider
able sum of money and his pension
papers. He received pension allow
ance of $40 monthly. He has Is
months pay coming to him from the
government, he says, and is now
endeavoring to furnish proofs that
will restore his pension.

The Quincy Herald has the follow
ing of the measure which was forced
through in the closing hours of the
legislature after Representative Hurst
had succeeded in blocking its passage
in the house on previous presentation:
Senator Berry, who is paid $4,000 a
year rs the attorney for Van Cleave's
ignoramus insurance departm ent, and
thereby delies the law by drawing two
salaries from the state treasury, was
successful in forcing the passage of
the bill empowering the superintend-
ent of insurance to control the litiga-
ton in his department. Heretofore
it has been looked after by the attor-
ney general, who is elected by the
people for that purpose. The new
feature carries with it possible eX-
penditure of $4,000. This, with the
salaries of Berry and the attorney
general, makes permissible outlay of
$22. 200 for what cost the taxpayers
5000 under Altgeld."

It is now understood that President
Mckinley has authorized Robt. P.
Porter, of Eleventh census fame to re-
pair to Cuba and arrange with Gen.
Gomez for the payment and disbanding
OF the Cuban soldiers. He has allowed
100000 for this purpose but it is
thought that Gomez will not accept the
terms for this amount and Porter is
given leewsy to make as judicious and
economical q settlement as he can ia
order to get the Cuban soldiers out of
the field.
