Cullom was successful in getting
Tanner defeated for the republic
can nomination governor. Tanner
proposes to get even by defeating
Cullom for the senatorship. The
fight is q pretty one. The chances
are that Tanner will be successful,
not, perhaps, in getting the sena-
torship for himself, but in forcing
the republicans Of Illinois to
unite on some man other than
Cullom. When John r. Tanner
takes his Ak and goes out into the
political forest there is going to
be some timber felled before he

School Hou Fire.

Because the members of Missouri
Valleys City Council decided several
months ago that the city could not ex-
pend too much in furnishing the
proper equipments for the fire depart
ment, the tax payers of this city are
not under the painful necessity of
voting funds for the erection of q new
school building.
About 7:05 last night pedestrian
while passing the Third Ward school
house noticed flames issuing from the
entrance to the school building and
upon further investigation found that
a fire of serious Importance had in
some manner started in the stairway
leading from the ground floor of the
building to the basement. An alarm
was rung in from box "a, and in an in
credibly short time the hose wagon
with full equipment of firemen was on
the scene and combating the flames.
by ]udicious work the danes we're ex-
tinguished in their incipiency and be-
fore they had damaged the building
not to exceed two hundred and fifty
dollars
After the danes had been ex.
tinguished Chief Neutind made a
Thorough investigation in order to as.
certain II possible the Gauss of the fire
and found almost positive proofs that
the fire Was the work of an ipcendiary.

SHALL WE DISPUTE?
The Opinions of Scores of Our Fellow Citi-

Residents of Rock Island, like other
American citizens, if making an in
vestment, want to be sure of getting
the worth of their money. They
want to know all the why's and where
fores, and in a direct ratio to the
value of the investment they burrow
and ferret until satisfied with the COL
lateral. Take an instance in the
realm of proprietary articles. If we
know of a friend who has been cured
we have some faith in the prepare
ton; if we know of two or three, our
faith increases. If the cures reach
scores of all well known citizens, and
anyone who still maintains that there
is nothing beyond ordinary merit in
the said preparation can safely be left
to the care of his fellow taxpayers. If
he wishes to quarrel with them on
the question of their judgment and
veracity, he has ample opportunity in
