The Surprise of All.

James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, H., in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with la grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into hasty con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took n bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began TO get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. Dr.
Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton, coughs and colds is guaranteed
to do this good work. Try it. Free

His Address on Water Supply for Mu-
nicipaIIties-' Brings Him Many Com
Observation-Disclosures of Having Such a
Citizen at the Head of Municipal Affairs
Demonstrated.
During the two terms that Mayor
Medill has served the city as executive
the people have enjoyed the advant-
age of selecting a representative bus
mess man and intelligent citizen to
guard and guide municipal affairs.
But not only is it source of salts
faction to have an administra-
ton that such a man is capa-
ble of providing, but it is a matter of
pride that all public spirited citizens
share to have a mayor who can 20
away from home and command the
respect and admiration of the munic-
ipal representatives of other cities as
Mr.. Medill has done at Peoria the
present week. In the convention at
Peoria, which concluded its session
Thursday in the Inauguration of the
League of Illinois municipalities,
and which was attended by the
mayors 2 and other city officials
of 60 of the leading cities of the state,
prominent men present. This was
shown at the outset in the honor con-
ferrcd upon him in the temporary
craftsmanship of the convention, and
later the impression which his adj
dress on Water Supply for Mu-
inequalities made demon -trated he
was one of the most capable city Off
Gals having voice in the convention
proceedings. The Peoria Herald, COM
menting on his address, said: His
address was very interesting and full
of facts which are of crying import
ance to every city in the state. He
was listened to with the closest atten-
ton and was the subject of much
after he had finished,
for the studious and learned EXPOSE
ton he had given the subject assigned
to him."
Familiar With What Pertains to City.
The capable and noteworthy expo
sition Mayor Mcdill gave to the sub
Jet on which he spoke was the nat
lral result of the close attention he |
gives to all matters that pertain to |
and affect the city. He makes prac-
.ical study Of all that concerns
he public welfare and engages the |
of the city. The reser-
JOir system, introduced in Rock ISL |
md last year through his administra-
i've efforts, and which is to be pushed |
o completion this spring, proved a
ubiect to which Mr.. Medill had given
he closest study from scientific as
veil as financial standpoint, and he
vas therefore perfectly at home in
landling it before the convention ut
.coria, where his suggestions were
lailed rs ot so much benefit to other
in the state.
And as Rock Islands mayor bore in
lis appearance and discussion before
he League of Illinois Municipalities
he stamp of an ideal mayor, so his
administration ut home bears the i'm
'rcss Of capable, painstaking charac-
er and of progressive yet wisely
force

Mr.. HURST IN HIGH FAVOR.
Kidd's Capital News Bureau Gives Him a
Great Send of.

Great Send of.
Kldd's Capital News Bureau, which
sends out weekly a chatty letter, at
| Springfield, of legislative dOings, de-
votes considerable space to Mr.. Hurst
this week, who is classed among 4
number mentioned on both sides of
the house as capable of party leader
ship on the floor. Here is the refer
ence alluded to, and despite its origin,
| those who know Mr.. Hurst will unite
in saving that it is no kid:
The pleasant faced gentleman who
sits in the front of the reporters gal
| lery in the fourth tier of seats on the
east or democratic side of the political
divide, is Hon. Elmore w. Hurst, of
Rock Island. He is not an old man,
although this is his second term in
the house, and his hair, which was as
black as ravens wings on his first
advent in the house, is now quite gray.
He carries upon his ample shoulders
and symmetrical neck well balanced
head full of splendid 7-day to the
week sense, and mental organism,
intellectual, educated, refined and ac-
complished, under the guide and di-
rection of courage begotten of con-
viction to do and dare for principles
as we'll rooted as the oak of the forest
and as
.,'Unshaken as a primal rock
That hath stood he earthquakes shock.
Such affable, gracious, generous,
genial as just natures, are seldom
long in making friends without a
studied effort on their part. He pos
sesses the magnetic affinity for others
of like desirable disposition and char
acteristics that assimilates without
effort and form friendships as lasting
rs life, which never fail TO count in
terests vital to both as members in
the common brotherhood of man. No
gentleman enjoys n larger share of
the confidence and admiration of his
fellow members of the Fortv-first than
the democratic end of the Thirty
third senatorial district. Our admir-
alton of his ability rs n lawyer and
law-maker, I democrat and gentleman
leads us to hope the future of his life
may meet with that appreciation by
his constituents which will place his
name well up on the tablet of fame ere
he is called from earth TO the M re
blissful regions of the great beyond"

SIGNING OF PLAYERS.
Harry Sage Says He Has Some
Good Ones on His
List.
NOT PREPARED To- GIVE NAMES.

Funds For the Local Club-Notes From
| All Around the Circuit.
| There are plenty of good ball
players to be had" said Harry Sage
the other night, and there is no rea-
| son why Rock Island should not have
a first-class team the coming season
have practically closed with several
men, and from what / know of their
past records, they are just as good
material as has been travelling II,
minor league company. I'm not in Il
position to announce their names,
however, and will not until they have
been signed
Sage said he would have a team
practiced and in shape by May =, the
date set for the opening of the season.
Danny Sweeney will probably wear
Rock Island uniform. He has been
told what salary could he paid him,
and the little man is now considering
the offer.
Many of tie older heads are kicking

monthly salary limit. The majority
of them are stickil 6 to their old fig
ures, but doubtless they will come
down few pegs rather than be de-
prived of an opportunity of earning
some easy money next summer.
The canvass for funds has been dill
gently prosecuted during the week.
Liberal subscriptions have been made
and the officers of the club are highly
elated over the enterprising manner
in which the people are taking hold of
the project. More money is needed,
though, in order to begin the season
right, and if it has so happened that
you have been missed, don't feel
offended. for the soliciting committee
will look you up, and give you
chance to speak up-and to dig up.
Food For the Fans.
Ed Deadly will captain Bill Browns
Quincy bunch.
There will be an abundance of new
tim Der in the game.
Mayor T. j. Phillips is leading the
canvass for funds at Ottumwa.
Pat Flaherty is to manage Ottumwa.
He covered third bag for Rock Island
last season.
} Harry Sage is only acting temper
arily as manager, but it is thought
that in due time he will accept the
position permanently.
Belden Hill has signed for the Cedar
Rapids team Louis and Joe Mahaffy,
pitchers; Dick Collins, catcher, and
Byron McKibben and Frank Don
nelly, outtielders.

paired. The fence is what they call

past summer having cut it full of |

Nearly every man that Manager
Hines has signed so far will receive
less than 500 per month. This
means the Rockford club will be under
the salary limit and to spare when
the race starts. Players are not ask
ing any more money from other clubs
than they are from Rockford, and
there is every reason to believe that |
for once the salary limit will be re-
spected. Rockford Star.
