AGU1NALDo's w1FE's EARRINGS.


Earrings worn by the wife of Agui-
naldo, the Philippines insurgent are
now i'm possession of Mrs. r. L. Wells
Of Atchison. Mr. Wells, who is a trans
fer clerk connected with the United
States mail service in Atchson, was In
the city and said that the pendants
which were once used as personal
adornments by Mrs. Aguinaldo, were
sent to his wife by Lieut.. Fred. Names,
a friend of the family. The ornaments
were secured some time ago, when the
wardrobe of Aguinaldo's wife was
found by the American soldiers. The
earrings are of solid gold and appear
to have been cut out of the metal with
a die. They are marked off in squares
and are much larger than the earrings
in use in most civilized countries.
They are greatly priced by Mrs. Wells
on account of their historic connection.

WHAT TO DO UNTIL THE DOCTOR
COMES

1t is very hard to stand Idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN " dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy which he hoped would
give relief until the doctor should ar
rive. In a few hours he returned, say
ing the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.
For sale by all dealers and druggists.

his face. There was 4 slight frOwn

that Rock Island is entitled to three
more assistant supervisors, Moline

apportionment is made mandatory by

state or government census shows
that any township is entitled TO such

IMPORTANT NEGOTIATIONS PENDING
Outcome Will Definitely Decide
the Projected Union
Station.

Negotiations that are understood to
have been pending for some weeks
gave currency to the story Saturday
night that the Rock Island railroad
company had made an extensive
property purchase on Fifth avenue on
which to erect new passenger station.
Persons in position to know deny such
Il deal has been consummated, al
though the fact is not disputed the
road has plans looking to the build
ing of a new passenger station in Rock
Island. This improvement, it can be
stated, is contingent on the successful
execution of certain details, failure in
which may result in the location of
the depot in an entirely different part
of the city.

AS heretofore intimated in THE
ARGUS, in case the Rock Islands
projected depot enterprise goes
through, it is rot improbable that the

the west, it is said.
