When asked by an ARGUS representa-
tive as to the prospects of consumma-
ton this season of the project which
is of all absorbing public interest in
Rock Island just now, the new Twen-
tieth street depot, MIR. Brown replied:
Eyes, we expect to get to work on our
new depot this summer. The pre-
liminaries, plans, etc., are well in
hand and we expect to get to opera
tions before long now. We have been
SO busy with Improvements on our
main lines arranged for prior to the
decision as to the depot here, that we
have not had the opportunity to give
the local enterprise the attention we
propose to. Now. however, we have
our improvements at these other
cities, at Quincy and Creston, so well
advanced that we anticipate taking
hold here very soon."

three months she coughed inces-
sanity, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered way to recovery,
by purchasing of us bottle of DIR.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed
that Cham berlain's Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
and hundreds bear testi-
monv to the truth of this statement.
One application relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which it affords is
worth many times its cost. For sale

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and Enectual
Cure for 1t.

Pleasant, Simple but Safe and Eneciuai
Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied with sour or watery ris-
ings, formation of gases causing a
pressure on the heart and lungs, an 1
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen
it would show Shiny, infamed con-
dition.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate troI ble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has has time to ferment and irritate
the delicate mucous surface of the
stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal diges-
ton is secured the catarrhal conditions
will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
diastase, aseptic, pepsin, a little nux.
golden seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite will follow their regular use
after meals.
n. j. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, says: ..Catarrh
is local condition resulting from
neglected cold in the head,
whereby the lining mem brane of the
nose becomes inilamed, and the pois-
onous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing cattarrh of
the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for
catarrh of the stomach without cure,
but today am the happiest of men
after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot find APP
propriate words to express my good
feeling. 1 have flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any
form of indigestion, catarrh of the
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heart burn and bloating after meals.

Washington. June 3O.-The signal corps. which. some time ago, accepted bids from one of the automobile com panies for the construction of three electric vehicles for the corps. expect to get the first of these in about q month. The demand for automobiles is so extensive that, in spite of the number of plants springing Up over the country. it has been impossible for any of the companies to keep on hand stock enough for immediate delivery, and from three to four months was the earliest That any of the companies would promise delivery of all the sig nal service wagons
 The first to be received will be vans for transporting materials and line equipments. They will be in stalled as soon as received at Fort Myer. where there are a number of buildings in course of construction for the signal corps. The new ve- hic,es will be used in connection will fiefd drill. and are expected to help materially iE the wireless te1egraphy experiments.
 The experiments in this line that have been made SO far by the corps have not been as fruitful of results as some enthusiasts in the new tale- graphy had hoped. The work is being continued slowly, however. and with the determination to bring out all there is in it that can be of prac- tical benefit to the army. It is hoped that by this fall there may be some results of practical importance to an nOunce.

BOER CRISIS NOT AT HAND
The TranSVaaI Expected fo Make
 Terms in inc Right Time.

| London, June BOA perusal of the | London newspapers of both political 1 parties almost forces one TO believe
 that collison between the British and Beer forces is eneUitable It requires some Investigation to learn the fact that the London press cannot i}a relied
 upon in the present sitna ion to either
 fairly represent English public opin-
 ion or to tell the truth about South
 Africa. It is safe to say that so long
 as the FrOvirciaI press does not join
 in the London demands for war. and
 the Salisbury cabinet, including Colon
 ial Secretary Chamberlain, is in charge
 of affairs, there wiN be no hostflities
 n the Transvaal unless the BOers de
 liberately precipitate them.
 It must be admitted that the sftua.
 tiOn is dangerous, and growing worse
 rather than better, but the crisis has not yet been reached. When the crisis comes President Kruger must con
 cede something of the British de.
 nands. But it is mistake t1, sup pose that it will be necessary for him
 to surrender anything like the mini mum claims which she beHicose Lon d;'n press assets will alone avert war. l. is quite true that the British gov srnment las gone too far to abandon its whole case, but evc@y one acquaint- ed with Kruger's shrevd statesman ship is ready to admit that he will be willing to make terms with lis antag- oDists when the right moment comes
 The real danger is that the strong war party in England may finally sue ceed in it's policy of bouncing the gov ernment into war against is will l This looks by 10 means impossible l when the enormous resources and the l of the war party are considered. It would not be difficult | in the present situation to create an in | cident which would make q peaceful ! solution almost impossible.
 It is still true that Mr Chamberlain does not desire war. It is an open secret that he has assured his minis terial colleagues that all necessary reforms can be obtained from the Boer -OA O4 i-littIU W 1tIOUl I1t strongly held to that belief until q short tinle ago. Now he is beginning to, fear that he has undereStimated the Boer obstinacy. A mistake generally made is that peace canno, be disturbed except upon the initiative of the British government. It is quite lost sight of that the Beers have before now not hesitated to force rhe pace themselves. and have been justified by results. They are incapable of that circumstances have
