The taste of the Princess of Wales In
dress, as every one knows. has always
been beyond criticism. though only OF
late years has she been able to crafty
it fully. Comparatively recently she
has had several windfalls. among them
a legacy of 100000 from her brother
in-law. the late emperor Of Russia. and
ut the present time there is not a bet
ter dressed woman in London than her
royal highness. Formerly the princess
used TO dress herself aad her daugh-
tiers Oh an allowance which many a
rich commoner's wife would have
thought insufficient for her own per-
so1al expenditure. and she did IL well,
for her faultiess taste made UP for
great variety

NO GUESS WORK HERE.
All Rock Island People Have to Do is to
Follow the Examples of Fellow
Citizens.

Facts are stubborn.
Some may be disputed.
None can be disproved.
A fact is the opposite of fiction;
Is always hedged about with proof;
Has to stand the test of investiga-
ton;
Or it drifts to the realms of doubt.
Investigate closely the following.
The closer the scrutiny the more
convincing the result.
A Rock Island citizen speaks here;
Speaks from experience and convic-
ton;
Relates facts-stubborn facts.
That may be disputed, but cannot
be disproved.
John Taylor, of 74S Fourteenth
street. grocer, says: Il had n dull
pain in the small of my back, which

complications set in which might be

JOHN WANAMAKER.

sation joined the Democrats to beat
political criminal A wealthy man
himself, he likes to thunder anathe-
mas at greedy monopolists. He has a
way of going from the stump to the
Sunday school, but his principles in
both places are the same. Mr.. Wanna
makers name is a household word in
Philadelphia. The employees in his
wonderful retail store take personal
pride in its greatness, but the pro-
prietor himself of recent years has
paid as much attention to politics as
to business. The same restless energy
that built up the immense emporium
accomplished much the same results
with the Philadelphia Young Mems
Christian Association. That energy
the former postmaster general has
thrown into his efforts for the political
reform of his state, and these efforts
have not been without results. Mr..
Wanamaker's friends regret that he
did not go into politics earlier, or at
least that he did not begin his public
political ministry at younger age.
His best excuse, however, is found in
his intense interest in religious move
ments, in which, for long, he believed
that political as we'll as all other re-
generation lay. At all events he is
worrying the senior senator from
Pennsylvania.
