The Man With The Hoe.

Prot MarEhRm's strong indictment of civil. ization in his poem,"T Man With the Hoe, ' might have been written with & less virulent pen, did the author realize how much has been done by Lie Insurance to dissolve the and his yoke fellow, the OK. Lie insurance, formerly thought to be prerogattve of the classes, has its blessings extended to the toll ng masses in the past decade to such an ex. tent that the most improvident toiler on the farm or worker in the mill whose capital Is his brawny arms ottentimes has & stake in the community in his lie insurance policy, equal to his more fortunate brother with a bank book or patrimontal estate. When the family bread. winner dies, his life insurance policy strikes the shackles from his feet, un- yokes him from the OK, gior11es his lite, and exalts him to the elevated plane of a hero spreading the blessing.

About.

What we say is plain, easy reading

Rock Island are saying great deal
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids Just now
because MorrOw's Kid-ne-oIds have
cured so many bad cases of backache,
sleeplessness and nervousness in this
city. Morrow's Kid-ne-oiGs is q
scientific preparation prepared in yell
low tablet form, and acts directly upon
the kidneys and nerves. Do not con-
meet Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with any
kind of kidney pills; they are yellow
tablets and put up in wooden boxes
which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment, and sell at 30 cents
a box at all drug stores.
We ask you to read what one of our
townsmen has to say about the great
merit of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling duh and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make YOU satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with YOU. Sample bottles free ut L. IL.

The Great Northwest" was pre-
scented at Harper's theatre last night.
The play tells 4 wholesome story, with
stirring situations, but it requires
first-ciasS actors to make it 90. Ia
this essential the company is lacking.
The enthusiasm which increases at
the approach Of Wednesday for the
Lam bardi opera company is of the
sort that would please the most grasp
ing of theatrical managers. The de
mand for seats is unusually large and
the house promises to be filled to the
doors. III Trovatore" is popular
opera and viii come nearer to pleas
ing every body than any operate work
that could have been selected. The
Lam bardi Italian Opera company is
unquestionablv the most capable az
gregation that has ever been heard in
the west, and Manager Miller is to be
congratulated upon having been so
fortunate in securing them.

STORY OF AN ARSENAL.
Continued from First page.

shops. 1t has ten as fine buildings as
exist at any arsenal or as can be found
at any private establishment. They
are admirably suited to the purpose
for which they were erected, yet in
only one of the ten has an adequate
amount of machinery been installed,
and in two others only fractional parts
of the shops are occupied.
As at present equipped, only about
one-fifth of the floor space available
ployes, and it is consequently no eX-
aggeration TO maintain that the recent
output has borne only that proportion
to what could have been accomplished
if every floor of every shop had been
provided with power and machinery
and other facilities for the proper
prosecution of work.
What the undeveloped capacities
OF the arsenal are can be surmised by
considering, with the multiplier sug-
gested, the figures given in a previous
summary for it's summers output.
Substitute for some of this product,
if deemed advisable, other lines of
manufacture not vet introduced, but
for which the buildings and their sur
roundings are adapted, and it will be
evident that if the capacity of the ar
senal were fully developed it would
easily prove equal to the task of Elk
peditiouslv ana economically produc-
ing the equipment for large army.
TO attain this end considerable
sums will, however, be necessary, but,
if judiciously expended, no better or,
in the long run, more economical use
could be made of the public funds. :
