Second only to the French are the
Chinese when it comes to culinary skill,
and with simple materials they will
contrive to put together a meal which
would shame an ordinary American
cook. In peasant families the wife or
daughter does the cooking, but in all
large establishments the cooks are In
variably men.

Mothers Friend

does expectant mothers SO much
good is because il is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much OF the strain comes. Ii helps be-
cause the pores OF the skin readily absorb
it, and il comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense OF dread and foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
OF all, Mothers Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother, and when the little one comes il
will be strong, lusty and healthy.

r mig hts of Royal Arch an Organization for
Liquor Men.
Deep interest is manifest among
the liquor dealers of Davenport over
the organization of lodge of the
Knights of the Royal Arch. Grand
Organizer Maurice r. Hodgman is
there for the purpose of instituting
the lodge. In speaking of the new
order Mr.. Hodgman says:
The Knights of the Royal Arch is
a national fraternal order for liquor
men exclusively. and was suggested
by the stand taken by other fraterni-
ties in barring from membership all
persons engaged in the manufacture
or sale of liquor and denying to them
the rights and benefits freely
extended to men in other vo-
cations. There are thousands of
business men against whom, as citi-
zens and members of society, nothing
can be said beyond the fact that they
are engaged in the liquor trade. AL
though but three years of age, the
Royal Arch has a mem bership of $50, =
600, in 81 states in the union, over
4 900 being IN Chicago. The order
includes many of the most prominent

BLOCK FOR A STATION
Rock Island Road Has Secured
Options on Fifth Avenue
Property.
FINE IMPROVEMENT LOOKED FOR
Said 1t Will Result in important
Changes. Officials Not
Talking.
me IMPROVEMENT LOOKED FOR

Options have now been secured by
the Rock Island road on nearly block
of residence property on the north side
OF Fifth avenue between Thirtieth and
Thirty-frst streets. on which it pro-
poses to build the new passenger sta
ton. Just when the improvement
will be undertaken is not announced
by the company, which by the way,
has nothing to say regarding the
matter beyond intimating that it has
something up it's sleeve that will be a
benefit TO the community.
For weeks, as heretofore stated in
THE ARGUS, the company has been
negotiating for the property above re-
ferred to, and from an unofficial source
it is learned that all details have been
consummated except the transferring
of the deeds, and no hitch is looked
for in that proceeding.
May Be Union Depot.
As to the extent the property pur-
chase will affect local railroad affairs
is purely coniectural, but it would not
be at all surprising, as said before n
this paper, if other roads would
become partners in the new Fifth ave-
nue. depot. The Peoria and Milwau-
.kee trains, under the present arrange
\nent, take on passengers at the Rock
leland station. and there is no reason
l. doubt the former will continue to
d. so, and the latter also, unless a re-
cb1t report to the effect that it is
f6sming an alliance with the D., K l.
IL Y. w. proves true.
1t any rate, several interesting
chs ges are scheduled for the coming
yea, among the railroads entering
Rocf Island. The Burlington will
soonl2e in it's new station, the North
westA.n has under way new depot
on SeSsnteenth street, tie antiquated

now Cd upied by the Burlington is to
be razti and the ground converted
into va d room. In fact the local
railroad map is to be pretty well
Spending Conside rabie Money.
The Roek Island company is spend
ing deal of money in this locality.
1t has made expensive purchases in
Moline, where it is in need of more
yard room, and where it is also erect
ing another roundhouse. This move
gave rise to the Tumor that the round
house here was to be abandoned, but
K. Z. Cable, chairman of the board
of the road, put a quietus, for
the time at least, on that rumor
through The ARGUS when he said his
company was not contemplating any
changes that would be regretted by
this city.
However. citizens generally will
have their eyes on Fifth avenue, and
viii wait anxioHsly for the Rock Is
lands new passenger station. There
IS every reason to believe it will be
handsome structure.

Party to Victory November 9th.

in the Republicanparty to his candi-
dacy tor the governorship which was
pressed upon him by the people in
recognition of his work along this
line. Until 1898 the finances of the
state were in a desperate condition.
In order to pay running expenses of
the state, borrowing had to be resort
ed to, these fundswere borrowed of cor
porations that took advantage of this
weakness to secure legislation favor
able to themselves. This tended to
build up political machine in Wis
consin that was a menace to its well
fare and Mr.. LaFollette in several not
able addresses made in 1897 and 1898
called the peoples attention to this
weakness and advocated plan for its
removal. This so met with the APP
proval of the people that he was I'M
duced against his own inclination and
better Judgment to stand as candi-
date for governor. This precipitated
one of the hottest compaigns before
the time of the nominating convention
that the state has ever witnessed and
although Gov. Scofeld was renomi-
mated the LaFollette movement had
attained such formidable proportions
that three of the men nominated by
the republicans on the state ticket be-
low the governor were LaFollette men
and the LaFollette platform, embody-
ing the reforms that Mr.. LaFullette
had so long and so arduously worked
for was adopted as the platform upon
which the candidates were to stand
for election. The ticket was success
full at the polls and what has been the
result? Large corporate interests in
the state are now paying their just
proportion of the taxes, one company
alone. that we have in. mind, paying
over 800, 900 more into the treasury
of the states in taxes now than it did
previous to 1898. The result is that
today we have a surplus in the state
treasury and have quit living from
/ hand to mouth and continually bor-
rowing from Peter to pay Paul. While
this has been accomplished under
Gov. Scotield's administration it has
only been accomplished as the result
of laws passed in conformity with the
LaFollette platform adopted by the re-
publicans two years ago and now the
people demand that we 90 one step
farther and place Mr.. LaFollette in
the governors chair to execute the
beneficent laws that have been placed
upon Wisconsin, statute books chiefly
through his instrumentality.
