NONE so POPULAR.
1t is Daily Gaining Favor in Rock
Island.
Results Reported From People who Have
Given a Fair Trial to the Remedy.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. the scientific
kidney remedy and backache cure, is
daily gaining favor in Rock Island.
No medicine has ever been sold in
Rock Island for kidney ailments,
backache, nervousness, sleeplessness
and general debility that has gained
such popular favor as Morrow's Kid
ne-oids.
We give you the experience of Lena
Smith, 1918 Thirty-fifth street, who
is seamstress. Miss Smith says:
Sitting so long in one position seems
to render the kidneys helpless; |
would have such severe pain in my
back that l could scarcely stoop over,
and l never could without severe
pain. l used plasters on my back,
but they did me no good; | then en-
ployed a doctor with the same result
| have used two boxes of Morrow
Kid-ne-oids, which 1 go: at NJ. F.
Bahnsen's drug store, and they gave
me relief within a few days after |
began using them. Today [ have a
back that is free from pain, as it
should be, and l can say that | feel
cured. A trial of Kid-ne-oids is con-
vincing."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills.
b1t yellow tablets, which is a scieu-
tiiic form of preparing medicine.
They are put up in wooden boxes,
which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment and sell fer 30
cents a box at NJ. F. Bahnsen' s drug
store.

AN INTERESTING TRAVELLER.
f. du Laurans' Narrow Escape In a Rail-

road Wreck
An interesting gentleman who has
been coming to Rock Island for years
in the capacity of travelling represen-
tative for New York wholesale
printing ink house is +. du Laurans.
He was 40 when he became a knight
of the grip and he has been continuous
" in the harness for 81 years. Dur
ing that time he has been in but two
calamities-one hotel fire and n rail
road wreck. 1t was in the latter that
he had the narrowest escape he ever
expects to experience again. The
wreck occurred at Waterloo, Iowa,
last May, on the Burlington line,
when seven people were killed out
right and n mum Der in iured- Mr.. du
Laurans had engaged a berth in the
front end of the sleeper, but when
he boarded the car the conduc-
tor advised him, being an old gentle
man, it would probably be more rest
full to him TO sleep in the rear, as the
continual slamming of the door at the
front end might disturb him. Mr..
du Laurans adopted the suggestion.
Two men who boarded the car later,
and one of whom was assigned the
berth. originally held for Mr.. du Lau-
rams were among the victims of the
wreck. Mr.. du Laurans' baggage was
damaged and he suffered considera bly,
from nervous prostration. The rail
road company bought him a new out
tit and gave him 81 900 in cash for the
physical pain and loss of time he suf-
fered

Forsets the Report.

Aid. Freed, chairman OF the street
aud alley committee, said he had for
got to bring the report of the COM
mittee on the resolution presented by
Aid Lavhead, TO the effect that the
Terminal company be not granted any
further privileges by the council until
it had fulfilled it's promises to the city,
chief among which was Il So 900 do
nation TO the levee improvement. The
committee voted to recommend favor
able action on the report. Aid. Law
head insisted that the report be pro-
duced, if it were necessary for the
council to take a recess. 1t was agreed
that the clerk read the resolution from
his record, which he did, after which
Aid. Freed moved adoption of his com
mittee's report. Aid. johnson offered
substitute that the report he not
concurred in. The substitute was
carried bv the following vote: AYES
Beck, Johnson, Heidemann, Winter,
Freed. Aster, Willis, Wheelan, Pen
der, ElweIl, Soderstrom-11. Nays
Gall, Lawhead, Concannon-3.
A point was raised by Aid Gall in
connection with the immediate con
sideratiOn of an ordinance ordering
owners of low lots on Twenty-iirst
street between Ninth and Tenth ave-
nue. to bring them TO grade. The
alderman contended that it required a
two-thirds vote or the council 10 con-
slider He said the rules had been
amended to this effect in 1895. City
Clerk Schaffer searched the old records
and found that in November, 1895, a
resolution was presented by Aid. Nell
son and adopted that it thereafter
take a two-thirds vote to consider an
ordinance. Mayor McConochie held
that the amendment did not hold.
Aid. Gall wanted to know why, since
it was obeyed by councils the past
three years. The mayor replied sim
ply because no one had disputed its
validity. The ordinance was there
upon considered and adopted.
The Terminal company's petition
for permission to erect a frame depot
on the river front at the foot of West
Seventeenth street was acted favOra-
bly, upon.

Proceeding of Mrs. Honora Blake to BE
Carried to a Second Hearing in the Cir
cult Court-CIaims of Mrs. Nash and

G. J. Searle, as attorney for Mrs. S.
G.. Nash and Ardie Bradford. proposed
ut last nights city council meeting
a settlement of their suits for $3.50 and
$50 respectively. Both are for per-
sonal injuries. 1t was the advice OF
CITY Attorney Scott that the cases be
settled, as they had been carried from
term to term without having been
tried. and costs had accrued. The
claims committee, through its chair
man, Aid. j. w. Lawhead, reported
adversely on the propositions of set
Element, and recommended that the
city attorney be instructed to oppose
the allowing of the same in the courts,
if necessary, all of which was unani-
mously adopted by the council.
A Recommendation of the claims

last meeting, for a settlement with
Mrs. Honora Blake for 81, 800, was

aye and nay vote, as follows: Ayes

Lawhead, Soderstrom-S. AT the
trial of the suit of Mrs. Blake's case
for alleged personal injuries sustained
in fall on a walk, she was awarded
81, 500 by jury. The verdict was
set aside by Judge Gest because it
was excessive. and new trial granted
the municipality. The case will come
up for a rehearing at the present term
of the circuit court.
Authority was voted the fire and
light committee To make necessary re
pairs on the fire stations. Chief Has
tings submitted written commune
cation, in which he states the slate
roof ut the Central engine house is
leaking and should be repaired before
the fall rains, as the plaster in places
is about to fall down. Chief Hastings
recommends the painting of No. ,
station. He does not believe the
building occupied by No. , company
is worth the outlay it will require to
repair it, although he suggests that it
be fixed up at as small expense as pos
sible to make it comfortable for the
coming winter.

MRS. FISH'S NEAT TRICK
She Got the Better of Mrs. Potte,
Palmer.


Newport, R. l., Aug. 11--Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish and Mrs. Potter Palmer patronize the
same dressmalker, fad which is a source
of worry as well as profit to the modiste.
The instructions to the employees of this
establishment are to disclose to 60 one
the name of the woman for whom any par
ticular garment is being made The yio-
lation of this rule has given Mrs. Fish
an opportunity to score a point en- her
rival, Mrs. Palmer
Mrs. Palmer had left an order for an
elaborate gown, merely outlining the style,
and leaving the coforings and material to
the taste of the dressmaker Mrs. Fish
had garment in the hands of the same
modiste, and, calling at the dressmaking
parlors, saw the material for Mrs. Palmer's
new gown lying on the counter She in
qulre the name of the person for whom
the dress materials had been obtained,
and the young woman attendant forget
ting the rule of the establishment, re-
piled that they were for Mrs Potter Palm
er.
Mrs. Fish promptly demanded to see the
bead of the establishment, and when the
modiste came, asked the price of the gar
ment being made for Mrs Palmer
The modiste trebled the price, thinking
that Mrs. Fish would decline to purchase:
but. to her horror, Mrs Fish ordered the
materials to be taken Immediately to her
carriage, curtly refusing the dressmaker's
offer TO send them to her.
The modiste is now worrying as to how
she will be able to explain the matter to
Mrs. Palmer.

"Posev in France and England.

A certain pose is inevitable; a complete
pose is but the fancy of the few. In other
words, we must all dress; We need not all
dress up. And the first cause of pose is
neither deceit nor candor; it is the express
sion of a temperament the sportiye eXer-
else of a talent. Thus it is less revela-
tion of self than a frank confession of
what the artist desires the world to think
of him. In England our notion of pose is
limited and severe; in France to live is
to pose; and the distinction helps to eX-
plain the existing contrast between the
Latin and the Anglo-Saxon races. At the
outset we would disclaim any desire to
draw hard, antipathetic line between
France and England. We remember the
bitter reflection of Lord Chesterfield that
"all general reflections upon nations and
societies are the trite. threadbare jokes
of those who set up for wit without having
any. and SO have recourse to common
place" But we remember, also, that in
attempting to understand the character of
another country, We understand the char
acter of our own; and it may be said with
out prejudice or reproach that the French
have the perfect genius of pose. Walk
along the streets of Paris, and you will
see hundred simple citizens tricked out
in such a guise as in sober London would
make them ridiculous. Is a man poet
are shabby and fantastic; his hat, with it's
fiat brim, recalls the fashion of 1890 Is a
man a painter? Then his clothes proclaim
that he inhabits Montmartre, and that he
wanders up and down under the skinny
trees of the Boulevard Rochechouart Is a
man journalist? Then he is what is
called the epatant, and dimes, for a re-
duced price, at the Cafe Anglais. Is a man
a deputy? Then the imagination refrains
forv ha hnc
he is decorated; but beyond this the eye
of dogmatism cannot penetrate.
Yet, whoever he be, he dresses the part;
he separates himself from the bourgeoisie
by a trick of costume and gesture; and
though no man ever possessed so brilliant
a genius as the young Frenchman assumes,
his love Of acting instantly marks him out
and the world is so wisely accustomed to
his antics that man who would be mob
bed in London marches up.and down Paris
unobsaryed. 1t is an astonishing distinc-
ton, which helps to explain our perpetual
differences with France. 1t explains also
why the Partisan stage is always crowded
with capable actors. England, now and
again, throws up man of genius such as
Edmund Kean. But in London the stage
is peopled with amateurs, who half under
stand the art which is a Frenchman's ma
ture.
But the Englishman also has his pose
the pose of uniformity. While the French
man trembles lest he should not make his
ambition evident the Englishman is COM
monty afraid that the world may find out
what he is. So, realizing that a froek coat
covers multitude of professions as well
as multitude of sins, he hides himself
in the garb of fashion, and hopes that no.
body will suspect his true intent In cher
words, we underdress our parts; the
French overdress theirs.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE submarine tor
pedo boat Holland is now down at Little
Peconic Bay, Long Island, preparing for a
final test of its qualifications as reliable
engine of war, by Government board COM
posed OF United States naval officers. 1t
has not been decided just yet when this
official test will be made The officers Of
the Electric Boat Company say they will not
hold the test until they are certain that all
chances of failure have been eliminated.
They say they have no fears as to the boat
| itself, but believe that little more drilling
Of the crew is necessary.
The test will be held over a two-mile
course and viii consist of diving, running
under water. running awash. and the dis
charge of torpedoes. Special attention will
be paid TO the time in which the boat dives,
the steadiness of her course, and the accu-
racy with which her torpedoes are dis
charged. The depth at which the boat can
proceed under water will also be aseer-
tanned.
AS result of the Hollands tests thus
far. the Electric Boat Company is satisfied
that the submarine wonder go under a
battleship with perfect ease.
The trials are now being conducted at
OF John G. Holland and Charles A. Morris.
| This bay was selected on account Of its
level bottom and the comparatively small
number OF moving craft. The Holland boat
is tied up each night at East Suffolk, and
each morning proceeds awash out 10 the
testing course under propulsion of her gas
| oline engines. She is accompanied by a
| steam launch, containing the inventor and
others interested in the tests. At a given
signal theIhoat starts forward. and then at
another signal she dives. The dive which
is carefully timed is usually accomplished
| in from four 10 ten seconds. The boat
sinks TO a depth of about four feet below
the surface, and then proceeds along the
The vessel is not allowed to go more
! than five feet below the surface, in order

she is doing When the boat reaches the
end of the course she returns awash, and
proceeds to her dock at East Suffolk
