six years ago Perkin gathered up the

which makes coal tar worth $500 4

Postmaster Thomas is in receipt of
the following from the third assist

Tho proper place for a postage
stamp on mail matter is the upper

This facilitates cancellation and dis

Stamps placed elsewhere are liable

A member of the Chicago Press

sixth street, Chicogo, says she has OBJ
tanned so much benefit from Grape
Nuts food that she wishes to offer a
voluntary testimonial: Three months
ago had an illness which reduced me
greatly. When convalescent wanted
a great deal to eat, but nothing seemed
to satisfy me.
ssVery soon after a meal felt that
sense of emptiness, AN aching void
as it were, though really not hungry.
The fact is. the food was then taking
was not properly assimilated and 1
was improperly nourished, which ac-
counted for my lack of vitality aud
weak condition, constant exhaustion
and inability to gain my flesh.
Il started in on Grape-Nuts food,
my husband laughing good humored-
ly at the time. l ate it with cream,
and the result was most surprising.
After the first dish of it felt a great
sense of satisfaction. / have now been
using Grape-Nuts but a week; have
gained several pounds, and the old
gnawipg has gone entirely. / retire
and sleep Well at night, whereas
used to awake in the night and was
unable to sleep again until l had taken
some sort of food.
Husband is much surprised at the
result and tried Grape-Nuts himself.
He is delighted with the food. With
best wishes for the great food and its
makers, am. respectfully yours.

Solemn Pledges Broken.

Every consideration of justice and
good faith" as the secretary of war
declared in his last annual report, de-
mands that congress shall accept the
obligation of plain duty" as it was
announced by President Mckinley.
Should congress fail to do that it will
do il not only at the risk of defeating
the republican party in November
next, but with the certainty of break
ing solemn pledges of violating the
bedrock principles of the constitution,
of inflicting monstrous wrong and in
justice upon people who came to us
cheerfully and welcomed us effusively
because of their confidence in the
good faith of our government.-Phil-

Coeur d'AIene.

In the Occur d'Alene mining region
of Idaho today no union miner can
find work. No miner is permitted to
look for work unless he secures per-
NIT from an officer appointed by the
state, who was an employe of nom
union mine owned by leading men in
the Standard Oil company. Martial
law exists in that district today, and
the permits issued to miners may at
any time be revoked. In the spring
of 1899, as a result of an outbreak of
some of the miners, federal troops
were sent into the district by order OF
William Mckinley; men were arrested
by wholesale and confined without
warrant in a "bull pen'' for periods
ranging from three weeks to eight
months, half starved and exposed to
brutal treatment by negro soldiers.
More than 1900 men were thus ar
rested. The writ of habeas corpus
was suspended. The men were Meth
er tried before imprisonment nor be-
fore release, but were seized and
turned loose at the whim of state
officials, backed by the United States
troops sent thither by President Nc
Kinley.
The first appeal for troops in Sho-
shone county, Idaho, came from q
Standard Oil official living in New
York. Subsequent demands pro-
ceeded from capitalists in Chicago
and other cities east of the Mississippi.
The people of the county feared no
riots and wanted no troops. The
troops were ordered into the county
before even the state authorities asked
for them-a plain violation of the con-
stitution. The secretary of war, be-
ing fully notified of the wholesale
arrests, the suspension of habeas cor
pus and tho establishment of the "bull
pen," telegraphed Brig. Gen. Merri-
am, commanding, that the president
approved of all that was done. To-
day the republican members of the
congressional committee which is in
vestigating the Occur d'Alene affair
are trying to cover up the facts and
to justify the use of federal troops
against workingmen.
To drive union labor out of the
Occur d'Alene every constitutional
guaranty was suspended, and the
troops of the United States used in
the service of the Standard Oil COM
pany. And President Mckinley ap-
proved of everything that was done.

The stuffed bogy. that the admission
of Porto Rican goods into our mar
kets without the payment of duty
would be a step toward free trade as
a national policy, has lost its force, if
it ever had any. We have heard OF
mother countries, like France and
Spain, which force their colonies to
buy everything in the motherland.
We never heard of any mother coun-
try which forced the colonies TO sell
all their goods outside the motherland.

acting the motherland very strangely.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Felix -Risser's company is to pre-
sent the popular play. Don't Tell My
Wife, at Harper's theatre tomorrow
night. Certainly no play produced in
many years has achieved the wonder
full success as has this one. Its run
of 100 performances in New York
and every one with audiences that
taxed the theatres is a feat that would
be hard to duplicate. Since it has
been seen out of that city the success
it has been met with has been won
derful.
An entertainment by the Lake For
est University Glee. Banjo and Man
dolin clubs. given under the auspices
of the Rock Island High school senior
class, was enjoyed by large audi
ence at Harper's theatre last night.
There are about thirty young men in
the Lake Forest organization, and
they furnished a program of snap,
variety and real merit, the musical
selections ranging from the produc-
tions of the classics to ragtime. The
boys excel as instrumentalists, yet
they have some very good voices in
the glee club and sing with the char
acteristic vim of collegians. Aside
from the musical mum bers there were
several readings by Mr.. Lewis, who
gave, among other selections, "Doo-
ley on Football" Hays Jim Bledsoe''
and Casey at the Bat" The enter
tainment as a whole was fine sue
cess. The audience was appreciative
and enthusiastic, and the Lake Forest
boys are always assured of a warm
welcome in Rock Island.
Toward the close of the program a
neatly arranged plan of the juniors
for the dropping of a flag bearing
their colors, blue and orange, over
the heads of the students, was exc
cuted. The colors were dropped from
the flies"
Lee Grabbe, of Davenport. who has
charge of the musical features of the
coming minstrel show which will be
put on by the Rock Island Club, is
busy arranging for the performance.
1t will include great number of new
songs, some catchy ragtime music
and many special features, in which
the talent of the club will make an
excellent showing.

OUR DUTY TO PORTO RICO.

sage 10 COngre1s.)
Since the cession Porto Rico has
been denied the principal markets she
\ had long enjoyed, and our tariffs
have been continued against her pro-
ducts as when she was under Spanish ,
sovereignty. The markets of Spain
are closed to her products except upon
terms to which the commerce of all
/ nations is subjected. The island OF
Cuba, which used to buy her cattle and
tobacco without custom duties, now
imposes the same duties upon these
products as from any other country en-
tering her ports. She has, therefore,
lost her free intercourse with Spain
On Cuba, without any compromising
I benefits In this market. Her coffee was
little known and not in use by our peo-
pie. and, therefore, there was no de-
mand he-e for this one OF her chief pro-
ducts. The markets of the United
States should be opened up to her
products.
''Our plain duty IL to abolish all
customs tariffs between the United
, States and Porto Rico, and give her
products free access to our mar
) kets."
