CARNIVAL SUGGESTIONS.
Rev. a. NJ. Judy Believes the Three Cities
Should Unite.

Should Unite.
Rev. A. NJ. Judy, of Davenport. has
written a communication TO the press
Offering some valuable suggestions in
connection with river carnival. He
saws:
IF something is attempted again in
the way of river carnival should it
not be upon an enlarged scale? Is it
not possible to provide novel water
cXhi bit which will draw people to the
tri-cities for at least a month next
summer? Let it be under the aus
pices of the tri-cities. 1t is obvious
not only from the lay of the land, but
also in the light of remem bered eXpe-
rience that harmonious action between
Davenport and Rock Island is neces-
sary. 1T racing events were included,
il would be necessary to interest Mo
line, as the races should be held in
Sylvan water. Let all, or the chief
efforts, be directed toward providing
entertainments and exhibits upon the
river so that the affair may be given
distinctness and novelty. OF all eX-
hibits at recent eXpositions none has
attracted greater attention than the
aquarium and the naval models. Let
the government be prevailed upon to
make such exhibits here. There
might be a succession Of pageants
displaying some of the most famous
or most picturesque water craft OF
various countries and ages"

Catarrh Cannot he Cured

with local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years. and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, com bined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect
com bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testimo-
malls, free.

who try to dismiss the trust question
as dangerous will find that the danger
is to them. In politics it generally
occurs that the assertion of broad
principle and an appeal to the popu-
lar pocketbook 60 hand in hand, and
Justly so. Government is not insti-
tuted to take care of the people, but
it must not be used to their practical
detriment. The trusts come in
for practical treatment in poll
tics so long as they are
fostered by legislation and so long
as the price paid is in an ample cam
paign fund for use by the bosses in
politics. -

An Aged Veteran.
DETROIT vETERANgTALKs OF sTHE WAR
AND A LEGACY 1T LEFT HIM.


AND LEGACY 1T LEFT HIM.
When the Annual Reunion of the G.. A.
II. is held, Michigan is always well rep
resented. Around the camp-fires of the
encouragement our boys tell of the hard
ships they have gone through and the
listener who knows nothing of war will
wonder how they lived to tell the tale.
Few men. who followed old glory and
escaped the shot and shell, returned home
without some legacy as constant re-
minder of war days. Our representative
found veteran o. p Newcomb of Detroit
at his place of residence, No 2S7 Second
street. Mr.. Newcomb told him how the
little conqueror had rendered him in
valuable service. We give his account
here and some words of advice tersely
told He said:
"A lake covering about two acres in
extent. containing the dead bodies of 70
mules, is not tempting water to drink,
but was one of many who drank it, and
all of us would have done SO if we had
known there was death in every swallow.
This illustrates but one of the many
hardships and privations passed through
during the Civil War; and it is no wonder
that G.. A. r. men suffer from aches and
pains, the most prevalent of these being
due to kidney disorders. | am pleased
to note that a great many others who
passed through as trying ordeals as l
have learned how these troubles can be
mitigated. When | say Doan's Kidney
Pills will cure them mot only speak from
experience but from observation. To al
old soldiers or anyone suffering from
kidney complaint my advice is to try
that remedy"
