Danrer of colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for
these diseases, we have yet to learn
of single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous malady. 1t will cure a
cold or an attack of Ia grippe in less
time than any other treatment. 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. For

the end that n senatorial candidate
favorable to him should receive the
endorsement Of today's convention.
Mr.. Deere, as is known. forsoo< G..
IW. johnson. the Moline senatorial
candidate, after years of mutual po-
litical friendship. and formed an al
lance with Fred Rank, the other Mo-
line candidate, and J. w. Simonson,
of Port Byron. both of whom were
known in advance of the convention
to agree with Mr.. Deere's sentiments
| in regard 20 the United States sena-
torship. The Rank supporters. ii mas
been understood for day or SO, were
TO go to Simonson. thereby reducing
the contest to l.. s. McCabe and the
Port Byron candidate.
Every conceivable scheme has been
rcsorted to here h. the Deere fol-
lowers to break the McCabe phalanX,
but the strength shown by the Rock
Island man and the fidelity with
which his supporters stood by him
was no surprise to those who have
watched the care with which dele
gates were selected in the various
city wards.
However. it * declared by those
claiming TO be on the inside that Me-
Cabe, so far. has not expressed him-
self on the United States senator
ship. although the attitude on numer-
Gus occasions of the machine cappers
has given rise to a suspicion of
friendliness to the Nates-Lorimer-
Hopkins combine.
The United States senatorship en-
tered into every detail of the opening
proceedings. When n delegate bob
bed UP in the convention the first
question that the other delegates
would ask one another was how he
stood on the senatorship.
Larry Magill, for representative,
had the Moline crowd lined up in cap
itaI fashion. and when the conven-
ton expressed it's preference as to
representative there was n never-to-
be-forgotten look on the face of
Christian Franklin GAZETTEER, the Rock
Island candidate. Chris, up tin a
few weeks ago. supposed he had a
lead-pipe. Probably he did. but his
boom caught cold feet in the mean
time. However, Chris can be relied
upon to come up smiling again the
next time there is an opportunity in
sight of landing in Springfield. He is

REFUSES TO PAY VACCINATION BILL
Tri-City Railway Company Gets
Track Privileges for New
Car House.

The Rock Island city council was
too busy last evening to attend to
much business. The meeting was
called together early that the men,
bers might get away for the republi-
can pow-wOw at the court house in
good season. The payroll ordinance
was passed and one or two minor
matters were crowded through. and
then an adjournment was taken till
tomorrow night. One of the bills
sent in was for $1O4 presented from
the board of education for the vac
cinnation of the poor school children
by DIR. j. +. Assay under the direction
of the city health department and in
response to the order of the board.
About 300 children were operated up
on. and the cost of the material
amounted to about half of the bill
The council decided that the board
of education was responsible for the
work being undertaken and should
therefore pay the bill.

The Tri-City Railway company pre-
scented Il petition, which was granted.
asking leave to lay tracks to the new
car house to be erected during the
coming season on Fifth avenue west
of the old barn. The blue print pre-
scented for the inspection of the coun-
Gil showed that the car house will be
set back about 10 feet from the ave
nue., and there viii be 10 tracks run
ming from the house out into the
street. Nine of these will turn to the
west, switching into one main spur
track, which will connect with the

turn to the east. 1t was represented
to the council that the house will

ANCIENT ENGLISH ROADS

One ofthe many points IN favor OF the
bicycle is that il has revived lh3 k13wI-
edge OF roads possessed b. our grand
fathers in the coaching age. The kaowl-
edge OF the roads is FAR more genera. to-
day than il was even sixty Or seventy
years back, inasmuch as for one grand
father who Travelled by coach. here are
probably 500 grand sons-and graad-
daughters-osreering along the scaelish
highways sstri6e Of their bicycles. As
far as the road Itself is concerned. the
normal cycling tourist perhaps does not
allow his attention and interest 70 stray
beyond its condition for case and com
fort in travelling. and the distance meas
