Over 1t.
A Splendid Article Which All the People
Are Now Talking Much
About.

What we say is plain, easy reading
and will do you good. The people OF
Rock Island are saying great deal
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids Just now
because Morrow's Kid-ne-oids have
cured so many bad cases of backache,
sleeplessness and nervousness in this
city. Morrow's Kid-ne-oiGs is a
scientific preparation prepared in yell
low tablet form, and acts directly upon
the kidneys and nerves. Do not con-
meet Morrow's kid-ne-oids with any
kind of kidney pills; they are yellow
tablets and put up in wooden boxes
which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment, and sell at 80 cents
a box at all drug stores.
We ask you to read what one of our
merit of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.

A Quaint English Ceremony.

On the last day of each October the
city solicitor of London, with an as
sistant, attends upon the royal remem-
brancer, when. by proclamation, "the
tenants and Occupiers of a piece of
waste ground called the moors, in the
county of Salop." are commanded to
come forth and do your service upon
pain and peril that shall fall thereon"
The solicitor chops in halves two fag-
OTIS, one with Ratchet and the other
with n billhOOk. Afterward comes the
summons to the tenants, etc, of "a GER
tain tenement with n forge" in the
Strand and the payment of six horse
shoes, with 81 shoe nails, by the So
licitor. This forge has long ceased to
be, and the same shoes and nails are
used year after year, the shoes being
At least two centuries old.

business enterprises organized on bus

make an impression and the unthink-
ing rush in to subscribe as patrons or
to invest their money. In due time
the bubble bursts. just as in this South
Bend case. 1t is found that the en-
terprise that 'roared so loud and
Numbered: in the index does not
pan out in the long run. 1t can't
fulfill its rosy promises. 1t can't de-
liver the goods as agreed. In other
words, it is like a house built on
sand. 1t won't stand. The lack of
business methods tell in time and the
whole structure crum bles to the
ground. Then the people, in disgust,
rush back to the old and well tried
institution, which has been keeping
the even tenor of its way, going along
by conservative methods, not prom
ising more than it can perform, but
performing all it promises. The Bell
is first and last a business institution.
1t does not depend on politics or the
varying public sentiment of the hour,
but upon experience derived from
long familiarity with its work aud the
skill and capital necessary to carry
out whatever it undertakes. 1t is
case of the survival of the fittest.'
The catchpenny concerns &C under
one by one and their wrecks strew
the country, leaving behind nothing
but bad smell and lot of angry
people who have been hoodwinked.
Above it all rises the old re liable Bell
which has held its ground through all
the turmoil and stands firmly right
where it was before. The people, as
in this South Bend case, come back
to it after they have tired of their
false gods and resume relations with
renewed confidence that they will GET
fair treatment and the best service
possible, not at rufnously low rates,
but for a compensation that is rea-
sonable and satisfactory to all"

and it is rarely, if ever, kept in stock

gathered from the fact that the total

Dreyfus has been ,reconvicted and
and recondemned The verdict of the
court martial is a travesty of justice, and
a shame to the nation.
Whatever the generals of the French
army may think concerning the guilt or
innocence of Captain Dreyfus, they alb
solutely failed To bring out any evidence
on the trial tending to identify him as
the traitor who supplied information to
foreign governments. III no other de-
Tense had been introduced, the confession
of Esterhazy should have been sufficient,
in a civilized land, to insure the acquittal
of Dreyfus.
The absolute control of France by the
military is the great mistake of the
republic, and the verdict in the Dreyfus
case is the legitimate outcome of military
rule.
The nations of the world look with
wonder at the absolute disregard of JUS
tice evinced by the court martial in the
Dreyfus case.
