He is to Succeed Himself

A LETTER FROM MR.. PRINCE
Praises His Administration and

Pleased.
A LETTER FROM MR.. PRINCE

TIE ARGUS of last evening spoke
of the assurances that Postmaster
George II. Mckinley, of Moline,
had brought from Galesburg, where
he had been in conference with
Congressman Prince. that the
present incum bents of the post
offices Of Rock Island and Moline
would not be disturbed at the expi-
ration of their present terms. Added
to this important information have
come letters to numerous repubu-
cans here from Congressman Prince
to the same effect, aud learning that
Postmaster Thomas had himself been
the recipient of one of these con-
selling epistles. an ARGUS repre-
sentative called upon him today.
well, yes" said the postmaster, Il
did receive such letter from Con-
gresham Prince a week ago, but / was
somewhat in doubt as TO whether
he desired the information contained
therein to be treated as confidential.
/ felt verv proud of the compliment
the congressman had paid me, but
still did not desire to make public
his letter to me without his consent
So l wrote him in regard to it.
In reply to my inquiry. Mr.. Prince
wrote that was at perfect liberty to
show his former letter to any one
whom l might see fit, as he meant
exactly what he said. And conse-
quently 1 have no objection to your
seeing it,
The Letter That Brought Joy to Thomas.
The letter that Congressman Prince
wrote to Postmaster Thomas, and
which seems to settle the postmaster
ship here for another term, is as fol-
lows:

FALSE REPORT STARTED
ABOUT THE NEW THEATRE

A Moline paper last night under the
heading. ..No Theatre for Rock Is
land" " prints story to the effect that
report had come to its ears that the
committee and Promoter g. H. john
ston had failed to agree and the opera
house project had been abandoned.
The story is absurd. While, as here
tofore told in these columns. there
we're a number of notifications sug-
gested by the coamittee and adopted
by Mr.. Johnston before the specifica-
tions were signed, there is nothing
now that stands in the way of the car
rying through of the enterprise. Mr..
Johnston is now negotiating for a site.
The deal is up to him, and he may be
expected here any day now to close up
the site purchase and arrange for the
beginning of building operations. The
Moline paper's reference may be an
other case where wish was father to
the thought.

We publish an advertisement of Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure in our columns
this issue, and wish to say to our read
ers that we believe this preparation is
worthy of trial by any person suffer
ing from that agonizing disease. We
honestly believe it will do for you all
the manufacturers claim for it. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure is prepared by the WE'LL
known and reliable firm of E. G. De-
Witt & Co., Chicago. and from our long
experience in business sense, with
that firm as advertisers, we feel safe in
saying, that they would not place on
the market O preparation for the cure
of dyspepsia unless they had a remedy
of the highest merit and conscientious
ly believed it would cure that almost
universal complaint. We further add
that if this preparation is equal to the
other well-known remedies made by
them, viz: DeWitts Little Early Risers,
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salye, and One
Minute Cough Cure,it will speedily win
its way into public favor. We cheer
fully and heartily give our public en-
dorsement to this concern, and the re-
liability of the goods they manufacture
which latter has been largely the
means of their success; and in writing
this voluntary endorsement on our
part, we feel that we are simply per-
forming a duty that We owe our readers.

ceiye a statement of your indebt-
y edness for subscription to the Ex-
