is AGAIN AHEAD
IN NEWS SERVICE
Argus Has Exclusive Announcement
of Presidents Operation in
Tri-City Field.

The superior advantage of The Ar
gus news facilities was again DEM
onstrated last evening, when The
Argus appeared as the only newspa-
per printed or circulating in Rock
Island or Moline having the an
nouncement of the sudden Interrupt
ton of President Roosevelt's western
trip, together with the fact that the
effects of the recent accident at
Pittsfield had become so serious that
he had been obliged to submit to IA
surgical operation at Indianapolis.
While happily the information was
deprived of the awful sensational
character of the tidings that The
Argus distanced all other tri-city pa
pers in distributing the tragic fate
that overcame President Mckinley
at Buffalo n little over year ago,
the cause of the change of President
Roosevelt's plans at indianapolis wa :
not without its startling phases. In
deed, it was without question, not on
ly the most important news feature
of the day, but an occurrence II
which. with the exception of the
news of the Pittsfield accident itself,
which involved a deeper sense of pub
