A CITIZENS STORY.
Told by n Rock Island Citizen for the Ben
fit OF Rock Island People.


fit OF Rock Island People.
The greatest Importance attached
to the following is that it concerns a
Rock Island citizen. 1t would lose
three-quarters of its interest if it in
volved some resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich, or Woonsocket, Il. /. Like all
the testimony which has appeared
here, and like all which will follow
about the old quaker remedy, Doan s
Kidney Pills, it comes from residents,
fellow citizens and neighbers. No
other remedy can show such record
of home cures. Read this case: Mrs.
Gilbert Golf. of 1905 First avenue.
says: 81 never got anything which
did me ANY permanent good until L
used Doan's Kidney Pills. The trou-
BILE grew much more severe and 1 suf-
fered with dull pains through my
kidneys My husband learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills, and thinking
they might help me, obtained box
at Marshall & Fishers drug store.
They benefited me in every way, eased
the pain in my kidneys, strengthened
my back and relieved the annoying
weakness"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price so cents. Mailed by
Foster ilburn company, Buffalo, n.
Y, sole agents for the United States.
Remember the name Doan's and
take no other.

Millions Given Away.

1t is certainly gratifying to the pub
lie to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous t,
the needy and suffering. The propri
etors of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds have
given away over ten million trial bot
ties of this great medicine, and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has alb
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness and all diseases of the throat,
chest and lungs are surely cured by
it. Call on Hartz & Ullemeyer, drug
gists, and get free trial bottle.
Regular size so cents and 81. Every
bottle guaranteed or price refunded.

People are finding out that the two

advertised as ''the best" are certainly
no better than the ..Ohio." We would
say that they aren't as good as the
Ohio only that it is barely possible
that you may get one as good as the
Ohio by paying some other store a
good deal more for it.

THAT END SEAT.
Here Are Some Reasons Why the
Holder of 1t Is Right in
Holding 1t.

When boarding car a person has n
clear right to any vacant seat, and it is
rank ungentlemanlines for one who
comes later to indicate by action, word
or look that the earlier passenger must
move to another place. 1t is not hog
gish, 1T is not in any degree impolite
to keep ones place, making the passage
to seats beyond as easy and convenient
as conditions permit. II it is disagree
able to be obliged to rub by, it is also
disagreeable to be rubbed by those
passing by. 1t is not the passengers
fault that the space is narrow.
1t is one of the common rules by
which life is made tolerable that the
hrstcomer's choice shall be regarded
as an indisputable right. If he surren-
ders it he confesses gracious favor.
but he is not n brute if he does not sur
render it. Perhaps he knows that he
has to get off first and, on the whole.
that convenience will be promoted by
staying where he is; but the seat is
his to use and enjoy, and the impolits
person is the one who would tale ii
from him, if it were offered. withcui
recognizing the action as Il gratGitous
courtesy and n personal sacrifice.
When man goes to buy fhcater ick-
cts for himself and his Wife and selects
seats next to the aisle for rcagol3 that
seem good to him, he would consider il
an afrront for one who bought tickets
later and was obliged TO choose other
seats in the row to look at him as if
he was a boor or pig because he did
not move away from the seats he bad
secured and let the newcomer have
them.
This is not saying that there are not
tlmesand circumstances when the we'll
bred man will promptly resign his
rights and preferences in Difference to
the convenience or the comfort of
others; but he is not bound TO do ii to
gratify the seffffisiit1uss Of persons who
impudently demand the sacrifice and
would overturn in their own behalf the
unwritten rules which protect the
weak and the humble equally with the
strong and the naughty in using pub
lie conveyances common to all sorts
and conditions of meh.-Time and the

Pensions Prospects

The report of the commissioner of
pensions contains the rather surprising
statement that the number of pensioners
at the end ot June was actually more than
2.ooo less than it was year ago. In
spite of the granting of $4,000 new pen.
sIons. the ravages of death among the
old pensioners. with other causes, have
decreased the total number. Death
alone struck off more than $4,000 names
from the roll, and other changes raised
this number to $4,000. The Spanish war
is already responsible for nearly 1900
claims, and as less than 900 of these have
been allowed. the charge on this account
has not begun to be felt. 1t will be
heavy enough if our forces are to be EN-.
ployed much longer in the Philippines,
and it is doubtful if the pension payments
will not again exceed sI4o,ooo.ooo.
When it appears that out of 10000
claims fled $4,000 were allowed, tha,
nine-tenths of the applications of widows
were granted, and that two thirds of those
for increase of pensions were acted on
tavorably. it seems difficult to believe
that the present commissioner of pen
sions can be accused of lack of liberality.
But when we find that during the year
sixty-three attorneys have been disbarred,
ten suspended and two dropped, and
that the total number disbarred is now
I,Io3, we cease to be surprised at any
evideLce of rapacity and fraud in con-
nection with our pension system New
