IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
To DIsprove Facts. 1t IL Decidedly Easy
to Verify Rock Island Opinion.

Nothing by way of an introduction
could be added to the experiences and
opinions given below, which could in
crease their value. Rock Island peo-
pie can safely be left to draw their
own conclusions based on such con-
vincing proof as this citizen offers.
What is there lacking in evidence like
this to satisfy a dyed-in-the-wool
doubling Thomas?
Louis Range, of 72S Seventeenth
street, retired, says: There is moth
ing like experience to prove the real
worth of a remedy. For years l suf-
fered from kidney trou bles, tried diff
ferent remedies and used plasters, but
1 got no relief that was permanent
until | used Doan's Kidney Pills.
There was a weakness and such terri
bic pains through my kidneys that |
could not sit down or GEL up without
feeling terrible shooting twinges.
Whenever l caught cold it always set
tied in my kidneys and aggravated the
pain. One day | was complaining
about my back to Mr.. Wivill. of 1911
Seventh avenue, and he told me that
Doan's Kidney Pills had cured his
backache and advised me to try them.
l bought a supply at Marshall &
Fishers drug store, in all five boxes,
and 1 found them just as my friend
had represented. They relieved the
pain in my back and restored the ac-
tion of the kidneys"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price so cents. Mailed by
Fcster-Milburn company, Buffalo, n.

SSaAwlNe OUT FROZEN MEAT.
ark Room Treatment Before Leaving
the Cold Storage House.

the Cold Storage House.
According to the process invented
by Messrs. Nelson Bros. for thawing
frozen meat in such way as to put it
on the market in sound condition and
avoid the many objections to which the
sale of the meat while still in frozen
state was open, the chamber of the ap-
paratus is provided with double doors,
one of which is extremely thick, so as
to shut out, as far as possible, all exter-
nal atmosphere. The chamber has no
windows, but is supplied with electric
light.
On entering one sees only some 30
quarters of beef hanging in rows on
hooks over a slightly raised open plat
form, with a canvas curtain at the back.
Under this platform, however, there Is
q series of steam pipes, while behind the
curtain there is series of pipes filed
with compressed ammonia. similar TO
those used i'll connection with the ordi-
nary freezing processes. The steam pipes
under the meat cause a current of warm
air to ascend all around it, and as soon
as this current reaches the top of this
chamber it is drawn to the freezing pipes
behind the curtain, by which all the
moisture is frozen out of it, on to the
pipes themselves. 1t accumulates there
in the form Of snow some three-quarters
of an iI.ri. in thickness.
The snow has to be scraped off the
pipes from time to time, and it is stated
that the accumulation during five days,
in the thawing of 80 quarters of beef,
has resulted i'll no fewer than 1913 pounds
of water. During that same period the
meat has lost only per cent in weight.
The purpose of the canvas curtain is TO
divide the ascending warm current from
the descending cold current, and it is
claimed that the effect of this incessant
passing of the air first over the steam
pipes and then over the freezing pipes
is eventually TO free it from all mois
ture. When the meat is first hung, the
temperature of the room is almost at
freezing point, but OH the fifth day the
temperature of the chamber has been
raised to that of the air outside. By
this time the frost has all been thawed
out of the meat, which is then in a con-
dition to be sent TO market.-LondOn

Boston Herald. Independent Republican.
The three campaign orators who
have attracted most attention this
year are Bryan, Roosevelt and Hanna.
The only genuine orator of the trio
is Bryan. An impartial view of our
public affairs for the last three wears
must result in the conclusion that a
real orator has developed in him.
Bryan has eloquence, readiness and
persuasive power in rare degree. 1t
is idle to deny him the possession of
these qualities. If we may take the
testimony of those who know him, he
is honest, pure and sincere in his char
acter. He has shown not only sweet
and forbearing disposition under
abuse, but remarkable sound juog-
ment in his manner of meeting it,
and an unusual fairness toward his
political opponents in his method of
argument.
Roosevelt is man who had some
thing of the same traits as BRYAN in
the beginning of his political career.
He, too. was honest. able and upright.
We are sufficiently charitable toward
him to suppose that he means to be
so still. But he is very different from
BRYAN in other respects. He is lack
ing in the quality of moderation and
fairness in meeting an adversary, and
he is sPicuouslv deficient in discre-
ton. He has abandoned independence
and gone into the unqualified service
of party There has Deen no man on
the stump who is more intolerant to-
ward political opponents, none less
disposed to do justice to a political
adversary. 1t may make him more
popular with the extreme men of his
party as a candidate for the presi-
dencv, but his deficiency of discre-
ton, which he does not seem to have
overcome. will, we think. be a serious
obstacle 10 his availability.
OF Hanna less needs to be said.
He is the type of the INSCRIPTIONS
politician in oratOry- He seems to
feel no responsibility beyond produc-
ing effect for the mOment-no care
for the We rification of what he offers

LITERARY NOTES.
:s.a....9a...s,ss.sesss

Outing for November contains,
among numerous articles, all bearing
directly on outdoor sport, "A Forecast
of the Football Season." by Walter
Camp, who is possessed of complete
knowledge of football facts and fig
ures; has had long experience on
the foot ball field, and is the one man
who can intelligently forecast the re-
suits of this seasons play. He says:
The football season of 1899 has
opened with more enthusiasm than
ever, and it looks as though that en-
thusiasm were to be devoted to real
improvement of the game. The ex-
perience of last fall was such as to
make this more than. probable. Har-
wards victories, brought about in
measure by their ability to perform
the kicking game, have given new
impetus to that department of the
sport. and it is certain that all teams
of high grade this year will improve
in their kicking work"
In the November magazine mum Der
The Outlook prints portrait and brief
sketch of James Barnes, now on his
way TO the Transvaal as special cor
respondent for The Outlook. The ar
ticles from Mr.. Barnes on the Trans
vaal war and on the problems of South

BISHOP SrALDING puts the question
in a nutshell when he says the cure
for crime does not lie in furnishing
the criminal but in educating the
child. The bishop says: Crime is
the child of ignorance and sin, and if
we are to prevent crime we must begin
with the child. We must not only
influence the mind and heart of the
child, but we must improve his en-
vironment. If we wish to prevent
crime we must study the causes and

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN makes
no pretense Of being humorist. but
he sometimes tells a funny story to
emphasize point. His thrusts are
delivered suddenly and in epigram-
mic form, as. for instance, when he
says: Il know we can whip the Fill
ipinos. | here affirm we can whip the
FiliPinos. Spain had them almost
whipped, after fighting 800 years, and
then sold us the option on the fight

The cancer was removed the 1st of

DR.. Branch did not use a knife, but
put on a salve which drew out the
cancer. The principal cure was
effected by some internal remedy,
which DIR. Branch says kills the can

Ammonia and water is an excellent anti

Washing the hands in bran water will

Vegetable soups are nourishing and not

Water can be kept ice cold by putting
it in a common earthenware pitcher wrap

Before busting a room enough time
should be allowed to elapse for the dust to
settle, and then it should be taken up with
soft cloth, not merely displaced with a
feather buster. The latter may be used
to dislodge particles beyond the reach of
the hand but it is not practicable for any
other purpose.
If the tea sleeper contains any cold tea
