No Right to usI,ness.

The woman who is lovely in fac
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. If she
is weak, sickly and all run down, she
will be nervous and irritable. If she
has constipation or kidney trouble,
her impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
Lurify the blood. 1t gives strong

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at t. H.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use without
FaiIure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of tue approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
crouPy cough appears. it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disapPoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of single
instance in which it has not proved
efTectual. No other preparation can
show such q record-twenty-fiv years
constant use without a failure. For
sale by all druggists.

IN THEIR OWN BEHALF.

Bills y workman Have Local Endorsement.

Bills Workman Have Local Endorsement.
To the citizens of Davenport. Rock
Island and Moline: The attention of
| the undersigned committees has been
| called to the fact that persistent
| misrepresentation is being made as to
the Endorsement by US of Messrs. Bills
and Workman, representing the Union
Electric Telephone IL Telegraph COM
pany, to the effect that different
| mem bers of the committees had since
changed their views.
Such statements we denounce as
untrue. The committees indorse-
ment of these promoters has been
ratified by our respective organiZa-
tions. One member of the Rock ISL
and Retail Merchants association
committee failed to concur in our in
dorsement; but as he was alone in his
opinion, we presented the majority
report, indorsing Bills * Wort ham,
and said report was adopted without
a dissenting vote.
The splendid success achieved by
Messrs. Bills IL Workman in signing
up an overwhelming majority of the
representative business houses, war
rants the belief that they, and they
alone, can succeed in spite of the eff
forts made to confuse the public and
.plit up. and disintegratc the indie
pendent movement.

SAENoERFEST IS DOOMED
Davenport Hall TO BE Torn Down-A
Iostng Venture.


Losing Venture.
''Saengerfest hall will be torn down
before SPRING" said George Mengel
its owner. last night. The words
spoke the doom of the famous struc-
ture- 1t has been losing venture to
Mr.. Mengel. and he claims that he
buries 81, 600 year in it. He is glad
that Davenport had such building in
which to hold the great Saengerfest,
but he feels that the citizens of Dav-
export should have supported it in
greater measure. Taxes and insur-
ance more than eat up the slender in
come thas the hall has brought in.
The 5-years' lease of the Hirscbl
property, three years of which are
still in force. will probably be bought
up by the Hirschl estate and the
ground plated off. Mr.. Mengel does
not say he is sorry the building
was erected, but he does not care to
continue feeding so expensive an eie-
phant.

RICHARD 2. BLAND.

ty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-frst, Fifty-sec
ond and Fifty third congresses, but was
defeated for election to the Fifty fourth
in 1894. In 1896, however. he was elect
ed to the Fifty-ffth congress as a Silver
Democrat, receiving 24,605 against 10,
754 votes for L. ID. Hubbard, the Repub
lican candidate. During the late congress
Mr. Bland held minority places on the
committees on coinage, weights and
measures and on expenditures for public
buildings.
In the Democratic Fifty-third congress-
however, when he was at the height of
his career in the house, he was chairman
of the committee on coinage, weights and
measures and made a conspicuous record
by the coinage measures which he intro
duced and by the speeches which he made
in favor of them. 1t was in connection
with these speeches that he earned the
sobriquet of "Silvar Dick Bland"
Mr.. Bland was the son of a country
minister and farmer, and was born in
Ohio county, KY, in 1885. He worked
as a farm hand IN youth, but went to
school long enough to obtain a teachers
certificate. In 1855 he went to California
and remained in the far west for ten
years, teaching school and practicing law.
In 1865 he settled in Missouri, where he
combined law, politics and farming.
