ANIMALS viii Not Be Given to
Country Editors.
LIMIT is SIX MONTHS.
VIII Also Require Half Fare
for Editors Family.
Effort to Make Country AdYer-
Using More Profitable.

Among the many new rules with
which the Rock Island began the new
year is one concerning the annual passes
and trip passes which were formerly
issued TO the editors and employees OF
weekly. papers.
Formerly the editor a weekly paper
was given an annual pass the first OF
every year and at his request any mem
Der of his family or any employee of his
paper was issued trip pass at any
time This was fruit for the editor and
his flock, but the old and beautiful GUS
tom has now passed away and many a
man who in the old days was wont to
Jump on and off a train whenever he
pleased. mourns its loss.
The editor of the weekly is now given
what is called a semi-annuaI pass which
has to be renewed every six months.
The semi-annual is all right and al
though il is not quite as convenient as
the annual it makes things easy for the
editor when he takes a notion that he
wants to go some place.
But the new rule has one drawback
Chat IS. for the editor), which is really
that part of it which hits the hardest.
Under the new rule the members of the
editors family or the employees of his
paper must pay half fare rates.
The only reason given for the change
is that all eastern roads are doing the
same thing and that the ROCK Island
does not wish to be behind the times
The real reason for the change is no
doubt that the railway company thinks
that the editors have not been giving
value received for transportation favors.
The editors are to be required to give
more space than formerly in exchange
for what they get, and they viii get less
for what they give
Semi-annual passes are preferred by
railways for editors because of the fact
that it is easier to keep in touch with
have 10 be renewed ever six months.
The ownership of weekly neWspa pers IS
constantly changing, and it has been
found that frequently the retiring editor
gets away with the railway passes. and
continues to use them until they expire.
ia spite of the efforts of the railway
company to head him of. The semi
annual pass lessons the damage which
an Outstand pass can do.

There are people who object TO the
use of any proprietary medicine. on the
suspicion that spirits may have been
used in it's manufacture.
Even Peruna has not altogether es-
capped such criticism. But people who
have taken Peruna. who have known Of
the benefits of Peruna by actual exper-
fence know how utterly unfOunded such
notions are concerning Peruna- When
the treasurer of the National Prohibi-
ton Voters league comes out in a pub
lie statement to the effect that words
fail to express his praise for Peruna,
and for the manufacturers of Perunas
it must appear to every candid mind
how utterly irrational it is to suppose
that any objection could be raised
against Peruna from the standpoint of
temperance.
Every great success is sure to make
enemies. Peruna is a great success, and
through jealousy and envy much has
been said calculated to prejudice the
public against it.
But those who have taken Peruna
know better The vast multitude OF
people who have been cured Of catarrh
IN some form by Peruna. will never
cease to praise Peruna for the benefits
received.
Hon. Geo w. Mcbride. ex-United
States senator from Oregon, from the
Dewey hotel, Washington, D. c.. writes:
The excellence of Peruna for catarrh
and colds has been so satisfactorily
established by many of my acquaint-
ances who have been relieved by its
use that I unhesita tingly endorse its
curative qualities. Geo. w. Mcbride.

MORROW HAS PLAN.
Believes His Scheme Would Equaiiz,
School Taxes.


A self-acting compulsory edutation
law is the idea of a bill prepared by
Senator Cal Morrow Of Washington. 1t
provides simply for a new manner Of
distribution of the school tax. The
present limit of 20 mills permitted by
law rs not interfered with. and the town
ship and county officers are not pre-
vented from leVying school taxes other
IMAM the one specified in the new bill
section j says il shall be the duty or
tHe county commissioners IN each COun-
" 10 make an annual levy of not less
IMAM nor more than 8 mills upOn each
dollar Of valuation of taxable propertv
III the county This shall be collected
as other taxes and shall be known as
ire county common school fund" I'm
ger section it is provided that this
Iund shall be distributed among the
school districts Of the county in pro
portion to the average daily attend
ance OF pupils Of school age. Districts
that nave maintained a school for nor
less IMAM SIX months of the previous
year shall be entitled to such aid
Senator Morrow thinks the dfstrib7,- -
ton of this fund viii result in a general
EFFORT on the part of the residents ~
every school district TO get out fun
attendance. BY the securing Of a ssn-
eral levy of this sort the actual Ievies
made Tor school purposes could be rela-
lively lessened.
The compulsory education law. as it
now operates. is a dead letter and
always VIII be, says Morrow With the
inducement offered of decreasing taxa

VIII be materially increased. This is the
real object of the law. Senator Morrow
says the levy provided for can be in
tle-sed In later years if the principle

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts on the Same subject

Also q Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same line
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served. and the food crank -
in his glory. and arguments and theories
galore advanced to prove that meat was
never intended for human stomacns,
and almost make US believe that Qua
sturdy ancestors who lived four score
years in robust health on roast beet,
pork and mutton must have been gross
" ignorant of the laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to an- kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in matters
of diet. and a mixed diet Of grains
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
As compared with grains and veg
ment in highly concentrated form and
is digested and is assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and Of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. II
the digestion is too feeble at first it may
be easily corrected by the regular use
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains of meat. eggs or other
animal food in three hours, and no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble viii be experienced if a regular
practice is made Of using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets because they supply the
pepsin and diastase necessary to per-
feet digestion. and every form of indi-
gestion viii be overcome by their use.
That large class Of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty Of meat and insure its
proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsiK
diastase. fruit acids and salts. which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines, masouerad~
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless f5r indigestion, as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual d.
gestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms IS
simply a failure Of the stomach to di-
gest food. and the sensible way to solVt
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of a prepa
ration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
which is endorsed by the medical pro-
fession and known to contain active di-
gestive principles.

at Atehison. has been appointed general

the construction train, and. while still
a boy, was made a section foreman on
the Rock Island From this position he
became q freight conductor on the Tex
as & Pacific, and, in 1882. was made
roadmaster of that division of the road
between Texarkana and Sherman. Re
turning to the Rock Island he was
placed in charge of the company
tracks in Chicago, and in 1886 he was
appointed rOadmaster of the G.. NJ. & St
p In 1888, he came to Atchison to be
rOadmaster of the Missouri Pacific. I'M
der C. NJ. Rathburn. who promoted him
to be division superintendent in 1890. He
was roadmaster here when Edison was
division superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific. This position. now held by c.
Vermillion, has been the stepping stone
for many well known railroad officials
