Journalism Has Its virtues.

An article appears in the Deem
Der Forum entitled Journalism: Its
Rewards and Opportunities. In the
course of his argument the author
makes the following statement: 1t is
safe TO assume that the man who en-
tiers journalism as permanent occu-
patton does SO because he has ideas
and convictions, and believes that he
has a natural aptitude for expressing
them in the kind of English that is
adapted to the requirements of the
modern newspaper. In, other words,
he adopts journalism, not as a COM
mercial or financial venture, but as
an intellectual calling. There is more
money in the manufacture of chew
ing gum than there is in the profess
sion of journalism. There is also
more money in the manufacture of
pills than in the practice of medicine;
but the great discoveries in surgery
and therapeutics were not made by
jobbers in pills. We must survey the
opportunities and rewards of iouI nal
ism from a higher point of view than
the weekly pay roll. In the scope of
its activities; in the eNpanse OF its
field of political attainment; in the
richness of those compensations that
come from n realization of the power
to eXalt virtue, to uncover hypocracy,
to expose fraud, to redress wrong, to
promote Justice, to encourage high
thinking aud to touch humanity in
all its impulses, aspirations and
the profession of jour

THE TALK OF THE CITY.
1t is of Interest to Our Readers, Bee ause
it Refers to Rock Island People.


It's astonishing how good news
will spread. From every ward and
street we hear of our people talking
about the workings of the little con-
querer. Merit and honora bic methods
receive their just reward. So many
cases are cropping up that it is next
TO impossible to investigate them all,
but we have taken few in hand, and
have given them publicity for the ben
eft of our readers. Our representa-
tive obtained the following statement
of facts in n personal interview. They
are true in every particular and no
stronger evidence can be obtained
than home endorsement.
Thomas Ransom, of 500 Fourteenth
street, employed by the Moline Mu-
tual Wheel works, says: ''Doan's Kid
ney Pills proved in my case to be Just
as represented, true kidney remedy.
For several years the action of nv
kidneys had been irregular, but in the
spring of 1897 l was in bad shape,
and hardly able TO 90 to work. There
was steady aching pain across my
kidneys, and in sitting down or getting

position, suffered from the increased
pain in my back. When did any work

learned of Doln's Kidney Pills and
my wife obtained n box at the Harper
house drug store. l took them reg
ularly and gradually the pain in my
back began to grow less and the other
difficulty showed an improvement. l
continued the treatment until my
backache entirely left me and the kid
ney secretions were regular in every
way. Since then l had slight re-
turn of the pain in my back, but a
few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
promptly relieved me. They also
lessened my rheumatic pains. L

CHAPTER XXI

Years have passed away since We Ir-
lated Amine's sufferings and cruel
ueath; and now once more We bring
Philip Vanderdecken on the scene. And
during this time, where has he been?
A lunatic-at one time frantic, chained,
coerced with blows at others, mild and
peaceable. Reason occasionally ap-
peared to burst out again, as the sun
on a cloudy day; and then it was again
obscured. For many years there was
one who watched him carefully, and
lived in hopes to witness his return to
a sane mind; he watched in sorrow and
remorse-he died without his desires
being gratified. This was Father Ma
thias!
The cottage at Terneuse had long
fallen into ruins; for many years 1t
waited the return of its owners, and at
last the heirs at law claimed and re-
covered the substance of Philip Van
derdecken. Even the fate of Anime
had passed from the recollection OF
most people.
But many, many years have rolled
o"oJ hAAip hoii Whilt-'IiS OHCe
powerful frame is broken down-and
he appears much older than he really
is. He is now sane; but his vigor is
gone. Weary of life, all he wishes for
is to execute his mission-and then to
welcome death.
The relic has never been taken from
him; he has been discharged from the
lunatic asylum. and has been provided
with the means OF returning to his
country. Alas! he has now no conn
try-no home-nothing in the world
to induce him to remain in 1t. All he
asks Is, to do his duty and to die.
The ship was ready to sail for Eu-
rope, and Philip Vanderdecken went on
"oard-hardly caring whittier he went
70 return to Terneuse was not his OBJ
ject; he could not bear the idea of Wis
iting the scene of so much happiness
and so much misery. Amine's form
was engraven on his heart, and he
looked forward with impotence to the
time when he should be summoned to
join her in the land of spirits.
when, oh when is it to be accom-
plished?" was the constant subject of
his reveries. blessed indeed will be
the day when leave this world of hate
and seek that other in which the weary
are at rest"
The vessel on board of which Philip
was embarked as a passenger was the
Nostra Sonora da Monte, a brig of
three hundred tons, bound for Lisbon.
The captain was an old Portuguese,
full of superstition and fond of arrack
"a fondness rather unusual with peo-
pie of his nation. They sailed from
Goa and Philip was standing abaft and
sadly contemplating the spire of the
cathedral, in which he had last parted
with his wife, when his elbow was
touched, and he turned around.

PHILIPPINE MUSIC.
Almost All Tunes Are Pathetic and
Melancholy in Tone.

Almost All Tunes Are Pathetic and
Melancholy In Tone.
Philippine music is becoming popu-
lar. Returning voyagers to the far
distant islands have introduced 1t here.
Like the Hawaiian, 1t is distinctive,
and characteristic Of the national life
of the people, though without doubt
an adaptation of the sweet and mel
ancholy music of the Spaniards. Flute,
violin and harp are the favorite instru-
ments, as in the Italian, but 1t is not
like the animated music of Italy. The
liveliest strains of the Filipinos are
pathetic and melancholy in tone. So,
too, are the titles of most of their
musical compositions, as, for instance,
Los Dias Ultimas del Verano" C"The
Last Days of Summer'O, "The Wall
of Lost Soul, THE Approach of Au-
tumn." The harp twangs softly, the
violin bow is gently drawn, while
above all floats the wall Of a flute,
which rises and falls in melancholy
cadences. This music speaks as elo-
quently to the foreigner as to the ma
tive. 1.-THE Approach of Autumn" is
so plaintive and sad that you can al
most hear the rustic of the forest
leaves, or the signing of autumn
zephyrs through the pine trees.
Church music, too, is of the same
plaintive character, all pitched in a
minor key.-Indianapolis Sentinel.

struck the village of Otsego, two and a

night, doing considerable damage to
property, but no lives were lost. The
property of Chauncey Tompkins suf-
fered most, all of the outbuildings on
his place being destroyed. A large tree
was twisted off in the middle, the top
portion lodging on the roof of the
house, doing considerable damage. Tel
ephone wires were broken and one pole
was turned half around. A bridge also
was destroyed The path of the storm
was narrow; the direction of the cy-
clone was from the west.
