Of a change from favorable conditions in
the immediate future. The assassination
Of President Mckinley caused a COM
plete cessation of the promoters activ-
.ty. People preferred to wait until they
you'd see that the country had stood the
shock without harm to its financial and
commercial interests. The effect of the
ihock soon passed away. Business has
approved and seems satisfactory in prac-
;ically all directions at the present lime.
The most important development. OF
ate vas the formation of the Northern
Securities Company, marking the end of
the Northern Pacific struggle. Personal
feeling and pride were put away in this
case. Differences were sacrificed in or
der that the future of the Northwestern
railroad situation might be fixed as near
as possible. What the outcome of this
arrangement between the contending fac
tions will mean to the public time will
have to develop. So far as the stock
market is concerned the actual announces
ment of the settlement had no effect.
Wall street had been given the assurance
for some weeks that the settlement would
Ic made and, as usual with most happen-
ings. had DISCOUNTED it.
Gold Exports continue in fairly large
volume. They concern the speculative
element. but not legitimate business in
%.erests. Commercial money rates have
not been affected.

THOROUGH INQUIRY INTO
McENIRY.ANDREWS CASE

Irquiry into the whole McEniry-
Andrews election controversy has
been ordered by the subcommittee of
the committee on elections of the
state legislature. and the task dele
gated to a committee of democrats
consisting of Johnston, Craig and
Hunt. This course was decided upon
yesterday, when arguments were
made and the written evidence pre-
sented by S. S. Hallam, of Monmouth,
and Hon. William McEniry. of this
city, in behalf of the contestant NJ.
j. McEniry, and States Attorney En-
DRY Graves, of Geneseo. for j. ii. An
drews. A complete investigation is
what Rock Island democrats want. as
this will come nearer to insuring a
meritorious decision than If the COM
mittee hurriedly looked into the facts.
The vital point appears to be whether
the secretary of state had legal right
to recognize the act of a committee
created by a convention the entire
proceedings of which were declared
irregular at the first hearing before
Judges Adams and Turner. of Rock
Island and Henry, the counties COM
prising the senatorial district. The
legislative committee will carefully
examine the evidence and in about
two weeks will be ready to hear the
closing arguments.

BRASS KNUoKLE USED ON HIM

Deputy Revenue Collector l. X.
Eihl is nursing stiff mitt and a
tender proboscis as the result of an
encounter with q couple of strenuous
beggars last night. 1t occurred at
Seventh avenue and Fifteenth street
about 9 O'Clock. The two tramps, one
a small man and the other above the
medium in size, had been accosting a
number of persons in that neighbor-
hood earlier in the evening. When
refused money they became abusive.
Che larger one had solicited aims
from Mr.. Eihl and shortly afterward.
while the latter was standing at the
corner Of Seventeenth street, on
Seventh avenue, the smaller one came
up and the two began addressing un-
remarks at him.
Elhl Wades In.
This aroused Mr.. Eihl's dander and
he waded in to clean up the pair.
The latter took to their heels, but
were overhauled within block and
the larger one laid in a snow drift by
a punch in the neck. The little one,
seeing his pal getting pummeling,
turned back and as the doughty reve-
nue. collector prepared for the on
slaught, the big tramp got upon his
feet, handed a brass knuckle to the
Foint of Mr.. Eihl's nose and fed. He
fell heavily in the street once, but
struggled up and the two made their
escape.
Able to be at His ONCE.
Although somewhat disfigured, Mr..
Eihl was at his desk this morning
and his principal soreness appeared
to be of the mental sort, resulting
from the fact that he didn't succeed
in putting the fellows behind the
bars.

Hoyt's "a Hole Ia the Ground"

If theatre-goers are not satiated
with wholesome farce next Sunday
evening at Harper's theatre it will
not be owing to the lack of ability on
the part of,the late Charles Hoyt, FOR
his "A Hole in the Ground" is the
brightest and most entertaining of
the many creations credited to this
prolific, popular and phenomenally
successful author. The piece con-
tains consistent story of an eIope-
ment. a bridegroom having arranged
to meet his would-be bride at the
small railroad junction. but she is de-
tanned enroute by washout. A hole
in the ground (washout) prevents the
running of the train, which is
abandoned by crew and passengers,
who seek shelter at nearby station,
the ensemb BILE forming the characters
in the play. Charles Cowles plays
his originsl role, that of stranger;
Barry Maxwell will again be seen as
the tramp baseball umpire, Nettie De-
Coursey appears as the lunch counter
girl, Frank G. Young is the station
agent. and Bessie DeVoie the tele-
graph operator. Others in~the cast
are Frank Baldwin, indie Palmer,
Dorothy alden. Katherine Clark,
Marie Petten, Kstheryn Robinson,
and the Transatlantic comedy four.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Remedy which Has RevoIutionized the

Remedy Which Has RevoIutiOnized the
Treatment of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a
wonderful discovery nor yet secret
patent medicine, neither is it claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia.
indigestion and stomach troubles
with which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges. con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences.
pure aseptic pepsin government
test), golden seal and diastase. The
tablets are sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Many interesting experiments
to test the digestive power of Stuart's
Tablets show that one grain of the
active principle contained in them is
sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon
the bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irri-
tate and infiame the intestines with
out having any effect whatever in
digesting food or curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion it
will very soon recover its normal
vigor, as no organ is so much abused
and overworked as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any
secret. of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, q remedy
practically unknown few years ago
and now the most widely known of
any treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon it's merits as digestive
pure and simple. because there can
be no stomach trouble if the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digestipg it
completely. so that it can be assim-
Hated into blood. nerve and tissue.
They cure dyspepsia, water brash,
sour stomach. gas and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the d.
gestive power which weak stomachs
lack, and unless that lack is supplied
it is useless to attempt to cure by the
use of ''tonics. pills" and cathartics
which have absolutely no digestive
power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regu-
lar use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit |
better than all other argument.

FOB A MURDBRoUs
ASSAULT
Wounds Will Johnson With a Re-
VoIYer in a Fifth Street
Resort.

George s.Rastus" White, a Rock
I.land character, indicted in Scott
county for assault with intent to kill,
was tried in the district court in DLv-
export yesterday, and at 9 O'Clock in
the evening the jury returned ver-
dict of guilty.
On the night of Dec. 81 last, White
entered Lindsay Pitts resort on Fifth
street, between Brady and Perry, Dav-
export, and without warning pulled
out 44-calibre Colts revolver of the
army pattern, and discharged it in the
direction of another Rock Island negro
known as Speedy. The bullet did not
strike Speedy. however, but lodged in
the back of viii Johnson, Daven-
port colored man, infiicting super
fetal wound. s.Rastus" fled at once
and was arrested the next night in
his room in Rock Island.
w. q. Mott, the colored lawyer, de-
Tended White and sought to show
that his client pulled the revolver
merely for the purpose of frightening
those congregated at Lindsay Pitts
that night. The discharge of the
weapon, according to Mr.. Motifs
theory, was purely accidental.
Bad Blood Over Card Game.
County Attorney Julius fischer
showed by the testimony of witnesses
that bad blood existed between White
and Speedy because the latter had
won $50 from the former in card
game. Speedy had arrived at Lind
say Pitts about midnight and, when
White came little later, Speedy re-
marked that he thought he had taken
the last car himself. Whites response
was that he, Speedy, had not taken
the last car yet. Then White pulled
the revolver.
