the rightful candidate of the party
The rights of the majority. of the
party in Rock Island county as voiced
by the county convention were de-
feated two years ago largely through
an element on the minority side in
the party. This year the rights of
the majority as voiced by the county
convention have been defeated
through a factor of the majority as
represented in the county convention.
Herein repose the differences in the
situation of two years ago and the
situation of today.
Two years ago the minority in Rock
Island county affiliated with the mi
nority county. This year the major
ity in Rock Island county antagoniz-
ed the minority counties. In both
cases Rock Island county has been
the sufferer. What is the lesson to be
drawn from this practical demOnstra-
tion of the ways of politics? 1t is
that it does not pay to fight either
the majority at home or the minority
in the adjoining counties having Il
voice in our affairs political.
Harmony is preferable to discord.

A SIMPLE QUESTION.
Rock Island People Are Requested to Hon
estIy Answer This.

Is not the word of representative
citizen of Rock Island more convin-
ing than the doubtful utterances of
people living everywhere else in the
union. Read this:
Isaac Shiffer, of 500 Fifteenth
street, employed at the Moline Gas
works, says: There was a dull,
heavy pain in the small of my back
continually, and after STOPPING it was
all 1 could do to straighten again.
There was always too frequent ac-
ton of the kidney secretions, which
was very annoying, especially
through the day. L saw Doan's Kid
ney Pills advertised in our paper and
l procured a box from Marshall d
Fishers drug store. After a short
treatment the dull, aching pains left
me, my back felt stronger and the
kidney secretions were restored to
their normal condition. L know of
others who had a similar satisfac-
tory experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills.

eide at st. Paul yesterday. While
since his pardon from the Saltwater
.penitentiary, Younger had led an up
right life, and his conduct during his
long years of confinement had war
ranted the leniency that had been
shown him. he found that despite the
fact that he regained his liberty, It
was conditional, and to the world
he was legally dead. He could not
marry the woman who had been his
best friend, who had nursed him
i'm sickness and had. been mainly in
strumental in securing his release
from prison walls. In a word. the
stamp of terrible crime was still up
OH him and in consequence he was
forever ostracised from the company
of good people. There was to his
mind but one course, and that what
the state of Minnesota had spared
him years ago-complete Punishment
from the world. He paid the penalty
with his own hand.

The Outcome of the Legislative Con-
test.

The outcome of another legislative
contest within the democratic party
in this senatorial district has result
ed in the loss to Rock Island county
of member of the legislature. Vim
dictiveness has been the root of the
trouble in both instances. 1t has
resulted in both cases in inter-
necine strife, with the inevitable pen
alties. The rights of the majority
vested in the very condition of affairs
in Rock Island county have been de-
MED because of the lack of harmony
in the party at large throughout the
district. The Argus has on both oe-
casions, while remaining neutral up
to the time of the county conven-
tiOns, upheld the result of the con-
ventions. Two years ago the Rock
Island county democratic convention
declared for NJ. j. McEniry for minor
ity representative, and thereafter The
Argus sustained his candidacy.
which in that case was persistently
done until the date of election. This
year the democratic county conven-
ton indorsed w. II. Moore. of Moline.
and up TO the moment that the pro-
cess of law removed his name from
the democratic ticket his name has
been carried and he has been support

While the old-fashioned way of fast

fast going out Of use, some of the sub

entirely satisfactory. The method of

FOR APPEARANCES

"a OMEONE has said that one-half
~ the misery of life at least, If not
more, comes to people from not
being able to make both ends meet;
yet how unnecessary is the nervous
strain and worry of mind which arises
from the foolish attempt to keep up
appearances which are beyond ones
income. If it does happen, as it some
times will, that people with small
means are thrown in the way of
weather. acquaintances, always let it
be with frankness, and with open ac-
ceptation of the fact.
Putting on airs is detrimental to
self-respect. Much better to say at
once, I'VE cannot afford it," never
apologizing for the smallness of the
house or the lack of domestics, never
pretending to be other than we are.
If we would only stop and think how
little we need to enjoy life, instead
of how much. II we bought only what
we needed as either useful or orna-
mental in our homes only what we
need to be well dressed and always
presentable on ocx sions, and only
what we need to uppease our appe-
tites and to replenish our systems.
If people would only adopt this rule
they would not only be relieved of an
enormous load of worry, but would
find themselves all the better for it,

. The Potato Crop.

A fair Illustration of the difference
between an average crop and good
crop may be found in the census re-
port of the potato crop, as given in
1900. The average crop for all the
States was placed at sos bushels per
acre. The average in Vermont was 1874
bushels that year and In Maine 1876
bushels The new land in Montana
averaged the same as Vermont in 1900
but they had 1876 bushels In 1897 and
40 bushels in 1896 Nevada had 100
bushels in 1896 and 1876 bushels in
1900. OF the other States, there were
1876 bushels per acre in 1900 in Idaho.
l16 in Washington, 10 in Oregon and

that exceeded Vermont in 1900. and
Montana only equaled it, shows that
the stony lands of New England can
equal the newly settled and exceed.

for cream runs up into the thousands

Lincoln paid to the farmers of the
state during the month of June be

places the amount of money that will
be paid by the creameries Of this State

his town more money was being paid
