the miners reduction from $3.75

they will return to work. AS there
has been no change in the price of
powder this offer means that the

theft, the right thing would be
for them to restore at least part
of the stolen goods.-Sentinel.

whnt.LincoIn said.

What Lincoln Said.
Here are few extracts from th'
sayings of Abraham Lincoln, WHIT
was once accounted very gooo
Republican; $500.
When it comes to a question be
tween a man and dollar, l am or
the side of man every time.
Gold is good in it's place, but liv
ing, brave, patriotic men are better
than gold.
No man was ever created good
enough to own another
Sometimes it is said that man
cannot be trusted with the govern
ment of himself Can he, then be
trusted with the government OF
others? Or have we found angels
in the form of kings to govern
him? Let history answer this
question.
No man is good enough to gov
ern another man without that 9TH
ers consent. When the white man
governs himself, that is self-gov-
ernment; but when he governs him
self and also governs another man,
that is more than self-government
that is despotism.
Talk of jefferson and Mckinley
in their expansion policies holding
to the same principles is the most
absurd and glaring Justification
Governor Roosevelt gets off in his
speeches, and has been pretty thor
oughly exploded by historical in
vestigators. Jefferson in his OK
pansion policies led no armies,
killed no multitudes and devastated
no country. He shed not drop
of human blood. Strangest of all,
he bent no ones back by govern
mental burdens; he lightened the
taxes while he reduced the debts
of the Nation. Yet he peaceably
and permanently acquired for his
country an extensive and fertile do
main, nov constituting twelve or
fifteen States, with Il population of
2O,OOO,O0O. Now look at McKin-
ley's expansion blunders. A far
distant tropical country, not habi-
table by the white race, but peopled
by ten millions of an alien race; in
pursuit Of his plans it has been
raided and laid waste by fire and
sword, twenty or thirty thousand
of it's people, who never harmed
the Americans until driven to hos
tile acts, have been killed; great
industries have been prostrated,
towns and cities devastated. That
is one side. but what has it done
for ourselves. We have Lost in
battle and by disease five thousand
of our best young men, and in
treasure hundreds of millions of
dollars. And all for what? What
single good purpose has been ac-
complished, either for our own
country or for the advancement in
civilization and Christianity of the
millions we are seeking to conquer
No one can tell. Was there ever
anything crazier than the lingo
criminulism of which the McKin-
ley administration has been guilty ?

West Virginia the poll was first
carefully taken by the local COM

is a certainty. In the matter of
apportionment and holdovers the
Democrats have an advantage in
West Virginia. Notwithstanding

OBJECT LESSON IN SAVING
Sioux Indian Witnesses Make Money
by Avoiding Railroad Travel.

w ltneSScN money
by Avoiding Railroad Travel.
The Sioux Indians are occasionally
able to give their white brethren an
object lesson in saving. y movement,
according to Sioux Falls dispatch to
the Chicago Inter Ocean, is now on
foot among them to induce Indian wit
nesses from Rosebud and Pine Ridge
agencies who attend the United States
court at Deadwood to hereafter travel
to that place in their own conveyances
instead of going by railroad, as has
been their practice. Court is held at
Deadwood twice each year. and there
is always large number of Indian
witnesses in attendance. who of course
are allowed mileage by the government
the same as any one else.
Time. the Indians have discovered is
of no value whatever to them. and by
starting away early and driving across
country. in some instances from 100 TO
80 miles, they propose in future 10
save railroad fare. This one item of
saving will alone net them a considera-
bic sum each year and give them extra
money with which to supply them
selves with articles which are not now
furnished them by the government.

A FEW PERSONAL WORDS.
The Readers of The Argus Have on More
Than One Occasion Voluntarily Thanked
Us For Calling Their Attention to
Matters of Deep Interest to Them.

Than One OccasI Voluntarily Thanked
Us For Calling Their Attention to
Matters of Deep Interest to Them.
1t is this feeling of satisfaction that
prompts us to mention the fact that
the British Medical Institute has es-
| ia blisbed a permanent branch office in
Rock Island, at 1902 Second avenue,
and it offers its services free for three
months to all invalids who call for
treatment before April 15.
The full Importance of this munifi-
cent offer can scarcely be realized.
Suffice it to say that the British Medi-
cal Institute has on its staff large
number of the most expert British
medical specialists in the United
States, and that DR.. E. Valentine Hea-
ton, the chief consulting surgeon, is
now in Rock Island and will remain
permanently, assisted by one or more
of his staff.
The reader should remember that
| no charge whatever will be made for
consultation, examination or advice
| (medicines excepted); and that all
minor surgical operations will be per-
formed free, the only condition being
| that invalids must avail themselves
of this between now and April 10.
and from now until that date the Office
will BIZ kept open every day. Sundays
excepted. from a. M. till p. m.
Male aud fema'e weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,

cured by their new treatment.
Those of our readers who are ailing

crowding that will naturally take
place later on.
DR.. +. Valentine Heaton, the chief
consulting surgeon of the institute,
is in personal charge.
