ROCK ISLAND REoALIA co.
Institution whose Popularity Is Rapidly
Spreading.

There is no firm whose name is
more favorably known throughout
this section than that of the Rock
Island Regalia company, manufac-
turers of all kinds of uniforms, robes,
badges, banners, swords, sword belts,
belts and caps. \ speciality is made
of banner designs for labor unions,
and the labor organizations will
make no mistake in giving this de-
serving company their most hearty
support and cooperation. This COM
pany has maintained a most favor
able attitude toward labor and the
union forces are never slow in rec
ognizing their friends and will aid
in every way possible to make this
company still greater success.
Their product is certainly one de-
serving of most liberal patronage by
the unions and citizens of our cities
and the entire country. At this par
ticular time when we have opportun-
ity to place their names before thous-
ands of working men, we take adj
vantage of the opportunity to place
the name of the Rock Island Regalia
company where il well deserves to
be placed-foremost among our lead
ing concerns who are always to be
counted upon as friends of conserva-
tive organized labor. As Labor day
is drawing near we advise all unions
considering the purchase of banners
and badges to take the matter up ut
once as we know the Rock Island
Regalia company has already sold
several banners for Labor day.-Tri-

7 TONIC is a medicine that gives tone

RI TONIC is medicine that gives tone
n to some part Of the system. There
are different kinds of tonics, but
the tonic most needed in this country,
where catarrh is so prevalent, is a
tonic that operates on the mucous men,
branes.
Peruna IS "a tonic to the mucous men,
branes of the whole body. 1t gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. 1t is q
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. 1t gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts OF the body.
Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta,
Ga, says:
ain January last began the use OF
| your Peruna and Manalin for what was
termed organic heart trouble. At that
| time could scarcely walk to my place
| of business without stopping to rest and
on arrival felt completely exhausted.
| Had severe pains in my heart and general
dizziness. After using the first bottle of
Peruna began to improve and today 1

A. NJ. Ikerd, an employee of the c. B.

al had catarrh of the stomach and
small intestines for q number of years.
1 went to a number of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one of my doctors
sent me to Chicago and met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that had cancer of the stomach
and there was no cure. almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. could hardly stand it, it was
so offensive. 1 could not eat anything
without great misery, and gradually

Iowa, and was with the engineering
department until October, 1884, when
he was appointed roadmaster at Au-
rOra.
He took part during this time in
various surveys, and was finally as
signed charge of important work at
Sterling, showing efficiency from the
start. He was roadmaster at Aurora
from 1884 until February, 1890, when
he was appointed superintendent of

this capacity for three years, when
he was again promoted, this time to

New Rule Beneficial.
Whether or not the new rule of de-
murrage charges on freight cars held
in the yards by shippers over forty
eight hours, is n hardship to the pa
irons of the lines, it is having good
effect on the car supply in the yards.
Several of the larger roads are hav-
ing them pulled up on side tracks to
surprising extent. This is noticeably
so in the case of several of the east
ern lines of Chicago. The Lake Shore,
the Pennsylvania and the Big -Four
all report this condition of affairs and
the officials are all surprised at the
number of cars available for use.
This is explained partially ON the
ground that the present time is one
of the dull season i'm freight bust
ness. Meantime the problem of find
ing some place to put the cars out of
the way of the current traffic is some
thing of a serious nature.
The manner in which the empty
cars have accumulated on the tracks
has convinced the officials that the
question of car famine has been set
tied and there is no longer need TO
dread that predicament.

Has Not Been So For Years.
There has not been a season for
years when camping out has been
less popular than is the case this
summer. People of the present gen
GRAFTON can scarcely remember a time
when on the second day of August
there have not been at least half n
dozen tents on the west end of Van

case this year. The sign. TENTS for
Rent, does not appear. in its wonted
place, and the man who has been
earning his summers wages selling
minnows TO the campers has been
compelled to turn his activities in
another direction.
Rain the Prime Cause.
The rain is the cause of it all.
There is no doubt that people are eX-
periencing the same yearning that in
other seasons has prompted them to
unfold their tents and steal away.
but there are sound reasons why
they do not obey them. For two
months the streams in this vicinity
have all been raging. muddy tor
rents. while the woods and even the
very meadows have sheltered swarms
of mosquitoes. These two facts
ought to be sufficient to deter any
reasoning human being from camp
ing out in this vicinity. When one
has not even Il reasonable excuse to
go fishing in the day time. and when
the mosquitoes make the nights mis-
cradle. it is an open question wheth-
err the game is worth the candle.

SOME RAILROAD MEN.
Careers of Three Who Were Erected by
Weeks Changes.

The Chicago Tribune has this to say
of X. II. Gable: 'R. r.. Cable, who
has just been formally superseded in
the financial leadership of the Chica-
go, Rock Island & Pacific railway
by w. H. Moore, has been one of the
foremost and most successful rail
road men in the country. For many
road men in the country. For
many years, and up to the
time when the Moore broth
ers secured control of the Rock
Island, he was the principal stock
holder, and practically controlled the
road. Since 1889. up TO "a few years
ago, hewas the presidents Sand prin-
cipal executive officer of the Rock Is
land. and under his management the
road has become the great and valu-
able property it now is.
when the Aoores SCARED control
of the road, about year ago Mr..
Cable asked to be relieved from the
position of chairman of the board,
as it was his desire to retire from
active service and take it easy" for
the rest of his life. but the Moores
persuaded him to remain in the po-
sition for which he is so well
qualified. The election of w.
ii. Moore as chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee of the road marks the
practical realization of Mr.. Cables
expressed wish to be retired from the
cares of his position at an early date.
''Mr. Cable began railroad work as
superintendent of the Rock Island
and Peoria, now Il part of the big
system. His work attracted the at
tention of the president of that line
and he was made assistant to the
chief executive. Later he became vice
president and general manager of the
road. At the same time he was en-
gagged in the coal business at Rock
Island. in which business he laid the
foundation of his fortune. He invest
ed his surplus stock funds in Rock Is
land stock, and in 1888 he took charge
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific as president and general man
ager, and since then has devoted his
whole energy to the duties of the
president of the road, and lately to
chairman of the board of directors"

DIVORCE OF THE BANKS.
The Public Interest Demands lt-Per.
sonal Opposition.

The changes recommended, ad-
ministrative and otherwise, by Gov.
Crane in his inaugural address to the
legislature, seem to have made
reasonable progress, with the promise
that within few weeks more they
will take statutory form. One OF the
governors suggestions, which has
aroused a little personal feeling, was
the desirability of having a divorce
declared between savings banks and
national banks, to the extent that the
treasurer of a savings bank should
not be the president or cashier OF a
national bank, but that, If two tnstitu-
lions of this kind existed in town or
city. they should be maintained quite
independent of each other. Oh course,
the reason for this recommendation
was obvious, and its realization viii do
away with temptation to wrongdoing
to which men holding fduciary posi-
lions should not be subjected. The
proposed change was not to take ef-
feet for two years, in order that read
justment of official condition might oe
made. There are a number OF persons
in this state who are now drawing
salaries both from savings institutions
and national banks, and it was thought
desirable that time should be ac-
corded to those thus placed to adjust
their affairs to new conditions. But
when this adjustment has been made
it will be found that the sacrifices are
confined to the experiences of few
individuals and that these are hardly
as the dust in the balance when
weighed against the establishment OF
broad public principle.-Boston Her.
