MUCH INTEREST FELT
In Discussion of Rock Island
Roundhouse Re-
noVal.
'EoPLE OFFER SUGGESTIONS.
But the City is Not Seeking to
Dictate in Unfolding
Its Rights.

Numerous Communications have
come 70 The ARGUS indicating the ex-
tent TO which the public interest has
been awakened in the discussion of
the possibility of the removal of any
of the Rock Island roads division
terminal facilities from Rock Island.
MANY of these communications offe r
suggestions "a to wht: course might
be pursuer by the Rock Island rail
way 10 provide itself with the in
creasing advantages it desires and at
the same time retain to Rock leland
all that iu now has here.
1t has never occurred to THE ARGUS
that there was any disposition on
the part of those who have ut
tered protests so far, aud will
continue to utter against the COM
pany removing from here anv of the
property that tends to stamp this city
as u division hesdq uarters, TO dictate
or even suggest a business policy to
the great railway sys EN-. 1t is con-
ced-d that it knows its own business.
II is also conceded that whatever may
be its plans or purposes its motives
have not been questioned. Tne idea
has not yet entered the brain of any
person of average intellect in this
community that the officials of the
road have been sitting up nights
planning how they could do some
thing that would prove disastrous TO
Rock Island
Road May Help or Hurt "a.
Notwithstanding all this the fact re-
f0na m hot - hiy,t b.aY Of
road whether intentional or not to do
Rock Island great deal of good or
great deal of harm. And in the ma
uural order of things it follows that
the people would be very happy If the
Rock Island should do them auv good,
and would feel very much agTrieved if
it did them any harm. There are many
ways in which the road could do Rock
Island good, m"re than it does or has
done. The erection of Il new station
here would be one of these. And
there are ways in which the road
could do Rock Island a great deal of
harm. The removal of its roundhouse
from this city. or any part thereof,
would prove Il great disaster TO this
city, especially to the upper end of
town. So that while Rock Island has
no inclination or purpose of dictat-
ing to the Rock Island its policy in
the management of its affairs, it is
determined to do its legitimate best
TO keep the road from doing the city
an injury. It's relations with the
corporation that bears its name are

may be, as has been said, that the

Ouestion Anawered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers aud
grandmothers never thought of using
anything 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 ali they took when
feeling dull 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 at T. II.

TO the Retort Direct.

l Washington. March Ie. - II assert
most emphatically that when the SEN
1ator says | told him l should not speak
on this subject, he does not state the
truth"
This was the sensational retort made
in the senate yesterday by Mr.. Gal
iinxer Rep.. y. H. to a statement
just EaSe by Mr.. penrose Rep.. Pa
Senators Were astounded and the
auditors in the galleries quivered with
excitement There had scarcely been
the slightest iIltimation that the de-
bate would take such a turn. For
nearly three hours the senate had
dad under discussion the bill appro-
prlat1nG S2o9o, 600 for the benefit of
the people of Porto Rico. Mr.. Fair
banks Hnd) had just concluded some
remarks on the measure and suggest
Ell that the senate proceed to the con-
siderati ton of executive business.
Pending a motion to that effect, Mr.
Penrose, who has charge of the case
of former Senator Quay, suggested
tnat a time be fixed for a vote on the
case In the course of his remarks he
intimated that certain senators We're
.Irowing obstacles in the way of a
vote, and indicated that Mr.. Gallinger
was one of those senators. Mr. Gal
linger quietly replied that he desired
to be heard on the question, but had
not had an opportunity to speak.
To this statement Mr.. Penrose re-
torted that the New Hampshire SEN
ator had assured him that he did not
expect TO speak on the Quay case
Instantly Mr.. Gallinger was on his
feet and. with evident feeling and
great vehemence, replied as above
quoted.
Il don't know whether 1 do not
speak the TRUTH" hotly replied Mr.
Penrose, ''or whether the senator from
New Hampshire failed to tell me the
truth" Mr.. Gallinger retorted that
the whole proceeding of Mr.. Penrose
was unmanly and beneath his notice.
The proposition to fix a time for
vote was postponed. but it was some
time before the excitement subsidized
The debate on the appropriation bill
