PETITIONS OF PROTEST
Against Demolition of the Rock ISL
and Arsenal Clock Tower
Feeling Awakened.

The publication of the verses annet
the demolition of the Rock Island ar
senal clock tower has awakened feel
ing throughout the community over
the matter. 1t is understood a pc
tition of protest is already in circula-
tion in Davenport, and it will require
but the initiative to see large petit
tions go forth from Rock Island and
Moline to the authorities at Wash
ington.
While, of course, there is no dispo-
sition to avoid anything being done
with a tendency to throwing cold
water on arsenal improvements, yet
il is difficult to comprehend, with all
the idle buildings that have been
standing there for years, why it is
essential to the development of the
small arms or other industrial plans
to have the tower building moved.
Naturally. the feeling that sus-
tains the keeping of the structure
where il has held forth these many
years is largely one of sentiment
that same sentiment that prompts
unselfish pride in the arsenal and its
maintenance and development as a
national institution, rather than for
what the community can get out of
it. Patriotic associations cluster
about the old tower and the more
people think of it the more they are
loath to see it disturbed.

SPOTLESS TOWN POET

Spotless Town, and the mayor, the

as in every other that runs street
cars that carry advertisements. Ev-
erybOdy in Rock Island has read
these catchy rhymes over and over
till some of them have been well
nigh committed TO memory. In this
connection this Boston special of

from correct. Most supposed heart trouble
is nothing more nor less than Indigestion.
OF course that is serious enough but you
want to know where the seat of the trouble
is, so you can treat it properly.
Again, such food as should be digested in
the stomach but is not digested there, passes
into the intestines and bowels where it
causes more trouble. The bowels become
constipated or 'clogged up", the waste
matter is not passed off but is to some extent
absorbed back in the system. This poisOnS

any person think that this poisoned blood
can make healthy flesh, healthy bone, healthy
kidneys, healthy liver, healthy heart, or
clear, healthy, active brain? Is it any
wonder that ninety five per cent Of the
American people have bodily Affections?
The whole point is this. If people would
digest their food properly most human ills
would disappear.
You no doubt would cure your indigestion
il you knew how, wouldn't you? Certainly.
Now if the digestive juices or fluids are
lacking but we substitute something com
posed of exactly the same elements or in
gradients, isn't il common sense that the
result will be the same? II a certain
Rock Island Argus., 1902-01-15

We have heard great deal about "heart
TO heart talks" The little talks where
people get right down to honest reason, to
common sense.
You have no doubt at some time or other
experienced the annoying and painful symp-
toms of indigestion. Digestion is the pro-
cess by which nature transforms our food,
by means of various juices called digestantS,
into blood which is then carried throughout
the body and used to make flesh, muscle,
bone, nerve, brain and material of every
kind of which the body is composed.
Indigestion may arise from variety OF
causes, but generally because some of the
elements which make up the digestive juices
are lacking.
Undigested food gives you all kinds of
trouble
In the first place you have most distress
ing feeling in your stomach, especially after
eating. Soon this undigested food ferments,
the gas distends the stomach, and in its eff
forts to escape, it causes belching. 1t also
causes pressure against the nerves and
arteries leading to the heart, giving rise in
the mind Of the sufferer to the idea that he
has heart trouble. Nothing could befurther

bottle, under proper conditions, isn't it
common sense that the same elements will
digest the food in the stomach? OF course
it is; it can't help it. Several years were
expended in perfecting a preparation that
would do this very thing. The result was
KodOl Dyspepsia Cure. 1t contains every
element necessary to the complete and per-
feet digestion of all classes OF food.
e. 1t permits you to eat all the good food you
want and digest every particle of it without
any aid whatever from the stomach, allow
ing the digestive organs to rest and regain
their normal healthy condition and strength.
By digeSting all you eat, Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure tones up the entire system. 1t will
give you life, health strength, ambition,
good appetite, sound, healthful sleep and
pure, rich blood that will enable nature to
correct many ills to which the other organs
of your body may be subject.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure never fails to cure
dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles,
even after all other medicines have failed.
Can there be any possible reason why it
will not cure you?

write you concerning the good qualities of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1 had stomach
so bad at times 1 was forced to abandon

I had tried physicians and all kinds of

feet was highly gratifying, as l received inn
mediate relief and less than two bottles ef-
fected a complete cure.

work quickly and thoroughly and 1 cannot
say too much in its praise.-Yours truly

ILLINOIS CENTRAL SCHEME
TO PREVENT WRECKS

The experience of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad with short, crooked
piece of track south of Carbondale,
ILL.,, carries n lesson for railroad men
who are trying TO minimize accidents
and wrecks. For number of years
this bit of track was kept prominent
ly before the railroad officials be-
cause of the accidents occurring on
it, says the Freeport Journal.
Finally the Hall electric block sys-
tenn pas put in. There has not been
a wreck on the crooked track since
its installation. General Manager
James Hartman. second vice presi-
dent of the company, gives this as
an instance of what highly perfect
ed device can accomplish in the way
of averting railroad disasters.
The block system is used ON the
Illinois Central suburban service and
for its other trains as far out as
Kankakee. while the Michigan Cen
trail uses the system to Detroit.
The block system. operates by n
method not entirely dissimilar TO
that used by the Miller automatic
cab signal. with which an experiment
will be made by the Chicago & East
ern Illinois railroad. The method of
transmitting the current is the same.
IF traffic is heavy on n road" said
Mr.. Harrihan. the electric system is
not too expensive to use. The Illinois
Central has used il on its suburban
service as far as Kensington since
1898. and as far as Kankakee for the
last four or five years. 1t is used
also on a bit of crooked track in
Southern Illinois, where there were
a number of accidents. 1t was a bad
piece of track until the automatic
system was installed. Since then we
have not had an accident.
"On the suburban tracks the blocks
in the system are as long as the sta
tions are apart. Along the through
tracks they average from 1000 feet
to three-quarters of a mile. The cur
rent is carried through the rails.
"The signal remains at danger un-
til the train is within 1000 feet of it.
Then if the track in the next block
is clear it is set at safety and re-
mains there until the train has pass
ed into the block. when it is set at
danger again. The minute the train
is in the block the signal is set at
danger, showing that the block is
occupied by a train. These signals
are set at every station on the SUI
burban lines.
"On the through lines, in addition
to the signal at the block, there is
one some distance from it. This is
an additional precaution taken to
avert accidents. From as much as
know of the cab signal device ii
would seem that there is IL similarity
between the two systems, although
more demands may be made upon
the current in the cab signal system.
After all, the prevention of rail
road wrecks depends largely on the
men. 1t is up to- the employees. Nc
system on earth will be successful
unless the men obey their orders,
but perfected devices will do much

VALLEY CENTER SALES
Four Fine Farms Sold There Since
First of the Year


Land in the vicinity of Valley Center
is having a booming demand. C. r.
Davis of that town is having quite a lit
tie boom of his own. Since abe first
day of the new year Mr.. Davis has sold
four farms, the considerations for which
viii figure up to large sum.
Farms are changing hands as the neigh
borhood and the prices received are grad
ually growing larger. The time has come
| when the eastern man fully realizes that
to make good interest on his money is to
invest in Kansas lands and especially in
this applicable to the Arkansas valley.
While the corn crop was short last year
this appeared to have no tendency to-
wards decline in the movement of good
farms as the figures will prove that more
land has been sold so far this year than
in previous years.
The valley is in a prosperous condition
and it makes little difference any more
whether corn is raised in abundance or
not. The ever profitable alfalfa Is be-
coming a source of profit to the farmers
such as has never been dreamed of before
and as it is a sure crop there need be no
fear of a decline in farm lands owing to
corn or wheat failures
During the past season many farmers
have actually paiu for their land with the
sale Of alfalfa alone. and it is now con-
ceded fact that land upon which alfalfa
viii grow and, by the way, alfalfa, is
worth no less than $50 an acre and is a
mighty good investment at that.
Several instances may be cited where
farms have been paid for with the sale
of alfalfa the past year, while the pur-
chaser has not as much as laid his hands
in the direction of toll In fact, it is not
unfair to state that farms have been
sold whereby the purchaser is not to take
possession until spring and the buyer has
realized enough out of his share of the
alfalfa crop that it was agreed to give
him, TO pay for the land. This may ap-
pear to the uniformed as a little too
much of a good thing. but it is a fact.
nevertheless, and statistics in this Office
viii prove the assertion.
Following is, a list of farms sold there
by Mr.. Davis since the first day of jan
uary:
c. R. Davis has sold the syler farm,
consisting OF 16O acres. located three miles
north of town to Wig Harding of Eddy
vile, Iowa. Consideration $500.
George Davis sold last week the Patton
eighty, three miles west of Valley Center
to Lon Cross. The consideration was
$500.
G. R. Davis sold last week the II. C.
buckles 12o acres. four miles northeast
of Valley Center known as the old Mart
Carnhan farm, to William Fortney. Con-
sideration, SS0o0
William Syler has purchased the Chas.
Fry 160 acre farm. located two miles west
and three miles north OF Valley Center
The consideration was IS 500.

TO FIGHT FOR VETERAN
Anti Boss league Will Probably Play

Topeka. Jan. 9.-The Anti-Boss League,
which held meeting in this city yester-
day afternoon, decided to make a fight
for the nomination of an old soldier on
the Republican state ticket next year.
Although no action was taken ycste--
day, It is generally thought that the

ernor. Mr.. Smith is a member Of the
organization and attended the meeting
yesterday. His boom was exhibited and
seemed to meet with general approval
1t IS urged by tho members of the anti
Boss League that not member Of the
present statae administration is an old
soldier and that few veterans Of the civil
war are holding state positions. They
say that in a lew years the old soldiers
will have passed away and that they
should be given recognition now On the
state ticket for in q short time they viii
De incapacitated from holding Office By
reason of age and infrmities.
The league has decided to carry tha

organizations OF Old soldiers IN every
county in the state to insure the elelctior

convention. II is claimed that the old sol
diers are aroused and that they viii
stand solidly together next year and
force the recognition Of their claims. No
definite plan Of action were laid yester-
day. but the matter was quite general

not discussed. It was stated last night
