1T is a surprising fact says Prof.
Houton, THAT in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last 10
years, l have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia. deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa-
ton. 1 find for tourists and statesmen,
or for persons filling Office positions,
where headaches and general bad feel
ings from irregular habits exist, that
Green's August Flower is a grand rem
edy. 1t does not injure the system
by frequent use, and is excellent for

A WOMAN'S VETO.
Why n Certain Naval Appointment
Was Never Confirmed.


Was Never Confirmed
An incident which occurred during
the first Cleveland administration IL
Illustrates the good feeling existing be-
tween the newspaper men and the
chief of the bureau of naval construc-
ton. A certain correspondent, who
was on particularly intimate terms
with the chief, called at his office and
was received with unusual cordially.
Calling the correspondent by his first
name, the chief said: Look here,
Blank. 1 want you to do something for
me. Mr.. IS appointment to q place
in this department, after being fought
through two congresses, has prevailed,
has been signed by Secretary Whitney
and only waits the signature of the
president. You, of all men in Wash
ington, can find out what action. the
president will take, and 1 think you
know a way TO prevent the document
being signed"
The correspondent replied, 81 think
know n way" He left the building and
went for Miss -, who was at that
time doing Washington society for
the Associated Press. To her he told
the story and explained what he
wanted done.
Miss - obtained an audience with
Mrs. Cleveland and told what she
came for. Mrs. Cleveland went to the
presidents desk and singled out 4
paper with the remark, "fhere, 1 guess
that is the one you mean" She then
turned n corner of the document down
and left il.
In the course of his work the presi-
dent came to the paper and then, in a
surprised tone. said to Secretary La
mont, Dan, do you know anything
about this appointments
Mr.. Lamont did not know anything
about il.

has evidently turned this down for
purpose. 1 guess it's all right" And the

CONVINCING PROOF.

The Average Rock Island Citizen Must
Accept the Following Proof.
The great Sir Isaac Newton, one of
the most profound reasoners the world
ever produced, once cut large hole
in board fence to allow a favorite
cat access to two gardens, and cut a
smaller hole to allow her kitten to
follow her. The weakness manifested
in Sir Isaac's action was due to want
of thought. Any reader who men,
tally debates the proof offered here
about Doan's Kidney Pills and arrives
at any other conclusion other than
that stated in this citizens statement,
is as short of reasoning powers as the
philosopher when he turned carpen-
ter.
w. II. Thompson, photographer,
corner Second avenue and Twentieth
street, living at 21O9 Third avenue,
says: Il noticed for sometime a
sluggishness of my kidneys. The
secretions from them were highly
colored, contained a sediment and
had an offensive odor. To my mind,
it was a forerunner of kidney COM
plant. and, anxious to get rid of it
before further complications set in
more difficult to check, when / heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills l obtained
box at Marshall & Fishers drug
store. / took them as directed. In
a short time the troubles disappeared
and the kidneys performed their func-
tions properly. My wife also used
Doan's Kidney Pills and is as firm a
believer in their merits as L.

IN view of the fact that we were
once apparently about to go to war
on account of Venezuela, it is deemed
remarkable how little attention is
given to the proceedings of the court
of arbitration now in session. The
fact has been variously commented
on, but with some exaggeration. We
were not so much solicitiOus for Ven
eZuela rs we were in maintaining the
principle that no European country
shall acquire new territory in this

insisted on arbitration, and, that hav-
