War Between Spain and France.

a Paris correspondent has set the rumor
afoat that war Is possible between spain and
France. Such an outcome is hard to believe
because the two countries have been for
years on unusually intima terms. You can
not tell what viii happen between nations. but
you tell what VIII happen when a dys-
peptic takes HOstetter's Stomach Bitters.
His heal viii improve. His appetite will
come back His N ,uth VIII not taste badly in
the morning. He will not be subject to dizzy
spells and his head will be clear His dis osi-
ton will he more agreeable, and his bilious

work properly. All these things are accom-

Mothers, Help Your Little Ones

They Are Not to Elame--Rcad This State
ment From a Rock Island Lady.
Every mother in Rock Island should
read this statement. Many mothers
| blame their children for what thew
are not always able to prevent. The
poor little ones suffer for their inabil-
ity to do differently. Many children
are born with weak kidneys. They
wet the bed night after night, because
they really can't help it. Mothers
scold, then whip and often shame the
child, but the accidents 20 on nightly.
If 2 cents worth of forethought were
used, it would be seen that after whip
ping, scolding and shaming the child
if it still continued this habit, that
the child must certainly have weak
kidneys or an Inflammation in its
bladder. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids cure
this trouble perfectly. They are easy
TO take, as they are tablets (yellow)
and not a nasty, nauseous pill.
We want to give you the experience
of Mrs. Harriet Atkinson, residing at
AS Ninth street, this city, who says:
MY husb band died few years ago of
Bri gifts disease. L have four chill
dren. three of them with weakness of
the kidneys, which of course they in
herited. They did wet the bed at
night and their clothes in daytime;
the ages of the three affected are the
eldest ones, aged respectively IL, 9
and Z years.
Il have gwen Morrow's 'Kid-ne-oids
to all three of them. and they are en-
tirely cured of this weakness in the
and it is seldom that any of
them wet the bed at night now. 1
am still giving them kid-ne-oids, and
l know from what Morrow's Kid-ne
ODDS have already done that they will
cure them entirely. l procured the
at Bahnsen's drug store. :"
To confirm the statement of Mrs.
we want you to ask her
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids; she is
grateful mother and will be very glad
To tell you personally how much her
children were benefited by their use.
Do not confoInd Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids with any kind of kidney pills;
they are not pills at all, but yellow
tablets. and are put up in wooden |
boxes which sell at so cents, and con-
tain enough for about two weeks |
and are never sold in bulk. |

WANTS A LEAGUE MEETING HERE.

Suggests That Omcers of Local Associa-
tien Extend Invitations to Interested
Towns for the Purpose of Reorsanizing
the Circuit-Thinks Next Seasons Pros
poets for the Game Are Good.
Rock Island would be the proper
place for holding meeting of repre-
Sentatives of interested towns for the
purpose of recognizing the Western
Baseball association for next season,
in the opinion of Belden Hill, who
managed the Cedar Rapids club last
year, and who will retain his old po-
sitiou in 1899 if that town has team.
Belden has written letter to his old
friend, Lou Eddy. secretary of the To-
cal association, in which he says:
Don't you think there should be a
meeting called as soon as possible to
organize the association? Can't you
aud Mike Sexton send out n call to
eight or ten good towns and call a
meeting in Rock Island9-I think
Rockford, Quincy, Ottumwa and Des
MOines are read y-and try and get
some good people from Peoria, Spring
field, Bloomington and any other good
towns, TO attend. l guess the town
here will be o. X. If we could get
Rock Island, Rockford. Springfield.
Peoria, Quincy, Ottumwa, Des Moines
and Cedar Rapids in we would have n
nice circuit. 1 have word from Joliet
that it would be no go there, as local
players control the park there, and
would not consent to let it go for any
league team.

they could be induced to come in
again. think we can get up another
nice snug circuit if some one will 90
ahead and call a meeting and let us
get settled so people will know what
there is to do. L think it will be II
good year for baseball"
As T. j. Hickey, of st. Joe, the en-
ecutive head of the association. does
not seem disposed to act, it is posi-
BILE move in accordance with Mr..
Hills suggestion will be made soon.
The ball question is ut fever heat

You Can't
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these arc
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.
