The Average Rock Island Citizen Must
Accept the Truth.
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 favor
ite cat access to two gardens, and
cut smaller hole to allow her kitten
to follow her. The weakness mani
tested in Sir Isaac's action was due to
want of thought. Any reader who
will mentally debate the proof offered
here about Doan's Kidney Pills and
arrives at any other conclusion than
that stated in this citizens statement
is as short of reasoning powers as the
PHILOSOPHER when he turned carpen-

a sluggishness of my kidneys. The

Decision Is Reversed.

The supreme court has rendered a
decision in the estate matter of An
tonic Rodriguez. The first circuit
court had entered a decree awarding
a claim of slS4O.05 against the estate
of Antoine Rosa, late executor. The
higher court reverses this decision
and holds that no notice to produce
original documents was properly
served. The decision also contains
these words:
An executor and trustee who is
disallowed commissions for maladmin-
istration of the trust. is nevertheless
entitled to reasonable compensation
for services rendered as attorney-at-
law in drawing the will of the dece-
dent. in obtaining temporary letters of
administration and in probating the
will, such services being entirely dis
connected with his administration Of
the trust"
