States regular infantry, leave tomor-
row night for Fort Smelling to join

bers of the Elms, a crack baseball
team. Frank johnson, a chum of the
quartet, wanted to go to the front,
too, making application to Join the
Sth, but was rejected because he did
not meet the physical requirements of
the army regulations.
Martin H. Danielson made a record
to be proud of in his service for his
country in the Philippines, where he
served in the reg llar army for IA
months and II days. He enlisted
June 6, 1898. in Company B, of the
18th infantry, when the war with
Spain was at its height, and was sent
at once with his regiment to the Phil
ippines. While Mr.. Danielson under
his enlistment was entitled to honor
able discharge within 60 days from
the time the articles OF peace
were ratified. he served from the fall
of '9S until Aug. % of the following
year, for which he is entitled to one
of the medals promised by the gov
eminent for all veterans OF
the Spanish-American war who
served their country beyond the
enlistment requirements. He was in
a hospital with typhoid malaria from
Oct. 4, 1898, to March l, 1899, and
during the time he was able was on
duty in various parts of the Philip
pines. His discharge credits him
with being honest and faithful and of
good character, and in addition to
this honor, which Mr.. Danielson ap-
preciates highly, he has the follow
ing:

The Peoria Journal is authority for
the statement that q movement is on
foot to cooperate large fleet of barges
between Chicago, st. Louis. Peoria

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway excursion to Clear Lake, Ia &,
next Sunday, affords an opportunity

ST. LOUIS RepuDDc-
Harper's Weekly presents a cartoon
showing President Mckinley about to
engage in combat with the leader of 4
Boxer party fresh from his work OF
carnage. Uncle Sam, bearing the
American flag. stands beside the pres
ident. The cartoon carries the legend,
'Is this imperialism"
The question is easily answered
That is not Imperialism. The punish
ment of a horde of yellow skins for
the murder of an American minister
is not Imperialism.
No democrat has ever limited that
such war would be carrying out a
policy of imperialism. On the con-
trary, the democrats have insisted
that inhicting retribution on China
for a fragrant breach of one of the rec
ognized principles of international
comfy would make the war not re-
publican, but American. 1t would be
totally diffarent from the Philippine
war. against which the charge of i'm
perialism is brought with eminent
justice.
1t arouses surprise that cartoon so
misleading, illogical and unfair on it's
face should have place in "A Jour
nal of Civilization.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
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 all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need q
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.

that instead of enc copper wire for a
lightning rod it would be better to
put up half dozen cheap galvanized
wires. The mistake is in surprising
that the wires attract the lightning.
They are better conductors than
wood, and when the lightning
comes near it will follow the wire
rather than the building. The roofs
of the buildings should have wires
strung the whole length and con-
nected with one that descends to the

The Trust oue.tion one of the Issues.

The repu blican leaders preserve a
discreet silence in regard to the trusts
and their methods of spoilatian. while
at the same time [ hey declare it to be
their purpose TO permit no change in
the tariff system by which the indus
trial monopolies live and move and
have their being. In the meantime
the trusts. through their tariff meth
DDS of extortion. are daily diminish
ing the comforts and hardening the
lot Of every workingman' family in
the land. The subject is very forci-
bly, and truthfully stated in Wanna
makers North American. 1t says:
There are indications that the man
ayers of the republican campaign are
disposed to treat the question of
trusts as n non-political matter and an
issue of no importance to the people.
There is an antitrust plank, brief,
general and somewhat Indefinite, in
the platform. but in the speeches of
notification and acceptance at Canton
not a word was uttered about trusts;
the subject was carefully and signifi-
cantly avoided. This silence is mad
more significant by Postmaster Gen.
eral Smiths declaration that the trust
question is purely business matter
and not political issue. 1t is busl-
ness matter, but so is the currency
question and so is the tariff. and if
these are political issues, the trust
question is 3 political issue of the first
magnitude. The democracy has de-
clared that its attitude towards the
trusts and the republican party viii
find it very necessary before next No
vember TO meet that declaration with
equally unequivocal statements of
what il proposes TO do to check the
S9gressiOns of massed capital and
bring the illegal com 5inations
known rs trusts under reason
able control. A few politicians
may think they can divert attention
from this issue and juggle with the
platform with impunity. but they mis-
take the temper of the people aud the
depth of their interest in the subject.
The people are lot asleep and they
know very well that the abuse of cor
porate privileges is inimical to their
Interests. They look TO the govern
ment for relief from present condi-
tons through legislation that shall
curb the rspacity of trusts and make
them instruments of industrial devel-

NEW MORPHINE HABITCURE.
Few Drops of n Powerful Vegetable
OIL Remove All Desire For Drug.

Great interest has been aroused in
medical circles in Germany by the dis
covery by DR.. Otto Emmerich of Ba-
den-Baden of a specific against NOR
phine poisoning and that peculiar form
Of disorder known by physicians as
morphinismus.
The increasing Use of morphine
among a considerable section Of soci-
ETY. has been exciting much attention,
and medical men have been unable to
prescribe any efficient remedy. 1t is
claimed, according to n Berlin dispatch
to the New York Journal. for DIR. EN-
merich's discovery that it has proved
infallible in the numerous cases in
which it has been applied. 1t is a dis
titled vegetable oil of intense acidity,
two or three drops of which are taken
internally daily. After n cure, extend
ing from three TO six weeks, patients
acquire an intense loathing for the
morphine needle.

NEW SCHOOL FIRE ESCAPE.
Pupils Slide to Safety Down N Spiral
steel Shoot.

The newest fire escape is an ingen-
iouS apparatus being built for a school
in Louisville. The inventor has made
a rather startling adaptation of the
law of gravitation, as he proposes to
slide the pupils like meal sacks from
the roof to the ground In a spiral shoot.
The apparatus is composed of great
steel cylinder, six feet in diameter,
built against the side of the school
house, says the New York Journal. In
the interior of the cylinder Il spiral,
open shoot is constructed, semicircular
In shape and sufficiently deep to pre-
vent body from falling over the sides.
Automatic doors communicate with a
platform at each story. The pupil is
drilled to seat himself in the shoot and
slide easily and quickly to the ground.
1t is claimed that 100 persons can es-
cape from a building in three minutes
by means of this novel continuance.
The inventor is a German named Au-
gust Dauber. He was working in
flour mill in Germany in 1885 where q
similar shoot was used to slide sacks
of -four to the ground. The descent
was so easy and rapid that the mill
hands came to use the shoot in prefer
ence to the stairs. This gave Dauber
the idea of adapting this method for
quick and easy escape from a building
in case of fire.

Passes Away Suddenly.

william L. Wiley, Henry County Pioneer
Passes Away Suddenly.
William l.. Wiley. the founder of
Galva, died suddenly at his home
there yesterday. He had been in his
usual health and visited friends in
town the evtning before.
Mr.. Wiley was born at Saxon's
River, VT. on Nov. 10. 1920. He
came to Illinois in 1851. and settled
at Brinield. In 1854 he moved TO
Henry county and laid out the town
of Galva, where he had since resided.
He had always taken great pride in
his town. and had been one of its
most active citizens.
In politics he was a repu blican, and
was a memb Der of the state board of
equalization from 1872 to 1876. He
was delegate to the Chicago conven-
ton which nominated q. S. Grant for
president. Fer several years he

rector of the Rock Island &
Peoria railroad. The last office he
held was that of president of the
board of education. He had been a
member of the Baptist church for
over fifty years.
