EXCELLENT RESULTS.
They Have Resulted in a Steady
Gain of Popularity.
People Who Are Ever Ready to Recon-
mend What Has Done Them So
Much Good.

The people of Rock Island feel very
greatful for the great benefit they have
received from the use of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, the great remedy for
backache, dizziness, sleeplessness.
nervousness and all disorders arising
from the kidneys. Morrow's kid-ne-
oids cure where other remedies have
failed, and the people of Rock Island
have not been slow to find this out
and add their testimony that their
friends may know what to use and
get cured.
Frank O.. Canedy, who is stock
clerk at Sechler's carriage works, Mo
line, H., and resides at S04 Fourth
avenue, this city, says: Il was not
feeling well, as my system had been
out of order for some time. | suf-
fered with = sharp pain across my
back and L always felt tired, more so
in the morning when | got up than ut
night on going to bed. L went along
this way for some time, and as l had
read about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids l got
some at Bahnsen's drug store and
took them according to directions. L
was soon relieved and have not eX-
perienced the same feelings or trouble
since. | believe that Kid-ne-oids are
all that is claimed for them, as they
did me great deal of good in very
short time"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are yellow
tablets (not pills) put up in wooden
boxes, which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment and sell at so
cents a box at NJ. (. Rahnsen's drug
store.

A COMPARISON IN TAXES
MolIne's Assessment Increased to Pay for
Municipal Work.

Municipal Work.
No stronger proof could be pre-
scented that the people of Rock
Island are not paying increased taxes
for their Improvement, than the
comparisons presented in papers OF
Moline, where the complaint is made
that the people are taxed to such an
extent that it has become burdensome,
the money being raised for the pur-
pose of carrying on municipal work.
For instance the Dispatch says:
Starting from the river the first
lots in Rock Island are in Sinnet's adj
dition. In block of that addition
there are seven lots facing the divid-
ing line between the two cities.
These lots are 60 feet front by 120
feet deep. Five of them are assessed
at 500 each by the Rock Island asses
sor, and two ut $50 each. just south
of these arc five lots, three of them
facing on Third avenue, and assessed
by the Rock Island assessor ut S102
each. They average in size 40Nl30.
just across the line from these lots
are the lots of the Moline Water Pow
er company. These are only 40 feet
front by 142 feet deep, and are as not
as valuable rs the Sinnet lots because
they are not as large, but MIR. Sam
uels assesses them at 1925 each or
more than double the valuation across
the street in Rock Island
In Rock Island greater improve
ments have been made and are being
made than in Moline, but under the
wise administration of Mayor Medill
it has not been found necessary to eX-
act an increase in taxes from property
holders.

CATION THE CHAMPION.
Wins Worlds Record at Three Cushion
Carom billiards.

| Wins Worlds Record at Three Cushion
Carom Billiards
William II. Cation won the cham
pionship of the world ut three-cushion
| carom billiards at Green's academy,
Chicago, last night, in the most des-
perate, scientific game ever played on
a billiard table. His opponent was
Eugene Carter. Execution alone won
the title and diamond emblem for the
plucky Rock Islander. Both men
played carefully and displayed great
patience. Cation, possibly, showed
| the greater amount of this quality,
for he did not attempt an impro bable
count. In fact, he bore out the repu-
tation that he enjoys of being the
greatest billiard general in the world.
1t took 81 innings to decide the
winner. and 1T the end the score stood
80 to %.
Immediately after the game Carter
challenged Cation and the latter prom
ised him a return game.
Both men were in fine form and
Carter was made slight favorite in
the betting. though why this should
be so is n mystery, for it is an un-
written fact that where reputation is
at stake Cation is an unknown guam
tity and further Schaefer found him
to be 4 record breaker, both ut aver
age and high run, while he found Car
ter a rather easy victim.
Cation is the king of safety and
patient players. He is without doubt
the greatest table general in the billiard
world, and worried Gene until defeat
was all that was left for the Ohioan.
The following table shows the stand
ing of the players:

of Health.
The quarantine is strict all around
the district. but in spite of the bayo-
nets numbers of japanese have at
tempted 20 run the guard, but without
success. Two attempts were made at
the Kukui street bridge, but the
mounted police were exceedingly act
i've and brought them back into the
district. \ break for liberty occurred
at Japanese clearinghouse on Nuu-
anu street. Some fifteen or twenty got
the back way, but were chased
down by the soldiers Of the guard and
returned to the house, which is now
under strict surveillance.
On Thursday the distribution of food
again began in the district; 1000
pounds of poi, two barrels of salmon

died Thursday morning,
