TWO RURAL ROUTES
To Be Established in Upper and
Lower End of the
County.
WORD FROM CONGRESSMAN PRINCE
Department at Washington Year
Behind With the Pc
titions.

The department at Washington in
charge of the establishment of rural
mail delivery routes is a year behind
in its consideration of the petitions.
Several petitions have been sent in
from this county and the people who
signed them are beginning to wonder
whether they have gone astray.
1t is now announced through Con-
gressman Prince that two new routes
are to be established in this county
shortly, probably one in the upper
en- and one in the lower. Action on
the other petitions will probably be
postponed indefinitely. An inspector,
whose duty it is to pick out the most
feasible routes from among those Pc
titioned for, is now in this district
and will be in this county in a few
days.
South Rock Island Route.
There is a disposition on the part
of the postoffice officials to dispose of
the route asked for in South Rock
Island as a suburban route, rather
than a rural one. This would place
its establishment and operation under
different regulations, and might lead
to the installing of a branch office,
tributary to the Rock Island office,
somewhere south of town. When
the inspector arrives the classification
of this territory will probably be set
tied.
Gould Here-
Guy Gould, for over 20 years in
spector in charge of the United States
secret work in connection with the
postoffice department with head
quarters at Chicago, and recently pro,
NOTED to the position of inspector OF
salaries and allowances, is in the tri-
cities on official business.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat.
arrh by the use of powders. acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has tor
many years made a close study and
specially OF the treatment of ca tarrh,
has at last perfected a treatment
which when faithfully used. not
only relieves at once, but perma-
ncntly cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all Inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snuffles, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal
dllNi AichlSAAiN ohAhSiOiN IVA
a full months treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
"Snuffles" il the only perfect cat
arrh cure ever made, and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
ton quickly and permanently and is
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption -"Snutfies"
will save you if you use it at once
1t is no ordinary remedy, but COM
plete treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
for it at once, and write full particu
lars as to your condition, and you
