AN OUTRAGEOUS INCARCERATION.

A news dispatch from Manila states
that the shortage in the commissary
department, due to the operations of
the ring of army officers and Spanish
merchants, is mere trifle, not more
than $1S5, 600 at most.
This report will ease much of the
apprehension felt in this country.
Those who received copies of the pa
per printed by Mr.. Rice, an editor in
Manila, gathered the impression that
the frauds in the Philippines had
really reached serious proportions.
Rice had intimated that the amount
of the shortage would reach 5000. 600;
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-04-15

and. in view of the determination OF
the amount stolen at figure less by
$15, 100 than stated by Rice, the mill
tary authorities feel fully exonerated
for having deperted Mr.. Rice from
the Philippines.
When it was first learned that this
editor had been sent back to the
United States for having called atten-
ton to the existence fof extensive
frauds in Manila, there were some
harsh comments made by those Datur-
ally antagonistic to the imperialistic
administration. Comparisons were
made with the acts of Weyler in Cuba
and there were many protests against
what was reg arded as throttling OF
the press.
A man so inaccurate and careless in
his statements as Rice has been shown
to be should not be permitted to dc
business in any country. His state,
ment that the shortage would amount
to 5000, 900. when it really does not
top $1S5, 600, is one of those things
that cannot for moment be toler'
ated by careful. exact and business
like administration.

To discourage IdIene.s,

The prime object of the rug works
to be started tomorrow as an auxiliary
to the Union Mission is to discourage
idleness among the poor of the city.
In Rock Island, as in every other city,
there are people who live year in and
year out off the city, county and
charitable associations. not even
making an effort to secure work and
earn livelihood. The county board
is cooperating in the conduct of the
rug works, and hereafter when appli-
cation is made to the poormaster for
aid in the way of fuel or groceries he
will provide the applicant with a
ticket to the manager of the rug
works, the management of the
works paying cash for labor and the
money going to the one furnishing
the provisions.

VICTIMS OFImPERIALIsM.

Santiago Iglesias, delegate from
the Porto Rico federation of labor, is
in Washington in behalf of the wage
workers of that island. who he de-
clares are far worse off than under
the old Spanish regime. He says
present conditions are similar to those
prevailing in British India. only
worse. Laborers who can obtain
work receive only 25 cents a day.
People all over the island are without
work and thousands are destitute.
MIR. Iglesias says:
Misery, with all its horrible con-
sequences, is spreading in our homes
with wonderful rapidity. IL has
already reached such an extreme that
many workers are starving to death,
while others that have not the cour-
age to see their mothers, wives, sis
tiers and children perish of hunger,
commit suicide by drowning them
selves or hanging themselves"
Any form of imperialism carries
restitution and death in its wake.
The officials wax fat and the masses
of people are robbed and oppressed.

A SOCIETY of sufferers from loco
motor ataxia will be organized in
New York City on May 1. The
temporary secretary and organizer of
the society is G. w. Stubbins, of 120
west One Hundredth street. Mr.
Stubbins has spent thousands of dol
lars to find cure, but his efforts have
met with only temporary relief. 1t is
expected that about 100 victims of the
disease will attend the first meeting
of the society, and definite plans will
then be made for the future. The
object of the society is to make de-
termined and exhaustive search for
a permanent cure for the disease. and
a laboratory will be established in
New York. where experiments can be
made. The best specialists will be
engaged to conduct the experiments.
Mr.. Stubbins has tried every suggest
ed cure, including the one million
voltage electric treatment recon-
mended by Nickola Tesla and the 500
degree bake oven, and has come to
the conclusion that will power is an
iE portant factor in com batting the
disease.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pinples.
Eternal vigilance IL fine price
of n beautiful COMPLEXION
when such remedies are relied on.
Mr.. II. 7. Shobe, z7o4 Lucas Avenue st. Louis
Mo, says: My daughter was afflicted for years
with dishguring eruption on her face which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene-
fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result until we decided to try S. s. s.. and by
the time the FIRST bottle finished the eruption
began to disappear. dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She is now seventeen years old, and not a sign of
the embarrassing disease has ever returned-'
S. S. S. is positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
