M'CASKRIN ADMITS
HE Is A CANDIDATE
Boom for GOvernOrship Will be
Officially Launched i'm the
Near Future.

The story printed in last evenings
Argus to the effect that Rock Island
was to have an independent candidate
for governor was admitted today by
G. Washington McCaskrin.
He would not say, however, whether
he was going TO oho the Paul Revere,
but intimated that his campaign
would be a novel one. It's Il cinch
George is not going to squander his
cash for railroad fare, so that he will
be obliged to use the horse, automo-
bile or balloon, with the odds in
favor of the horse. There was some
talk today among Georges friends of
starting Il fund to buy Lou Dillon for
him.
The method of formally launching
the McCaskrin gubernatorial boom
and what locality is to have the honor
of first hearing the news preached
officially is a secret that George does
not feel prepared to disclose as yet,
but the bee is buzzing so busily that
it is safe bet he will not hold on to
it another week.
The platform and other plans of
the campaign are matters to be set
tied in the future.

NOTHING YET
READY TO OFFER
City Council Has No Formal PROPOSE
ton on Bridges to Submit to
County Board.

Next Tuesday the regular Septem-
Der session of the board of super
visors begins and the city council,
unless il disobeys union regulations
and works Monday evening, will not
at that time have anything definite to
present to the county lawmakers rel
ative to the repair and control of the
Milan bridges.
The recommendation of the bridge
committee of the council, which was
submitted some time since and never
acted upon, provides for asking as
sistance on the part of the county
and assessing a portion of the cost
against the railway companies that
are benefited and it was desired that
action might be taken on the recon-
incubation in time so that the matter
could be put up to the board at the
September session. But the council
has dallied and it begins to look as
though no decisive statement in re
gard to the position Of the county
Will be secured at this session.
If the city officials are Iukewarm in
the matter, what can be expected of
the officials of the county who have no
personal interest i'm the condition of
the bridges and little from the stand
point Of public duty?

Labor Day Celebration.

While comparatively a new celebra-
ton, Labor day now occupies high
rank in popularity among other
American holidays. It's observance
brings the people in closer accord
with the wage Garner and demon
strates to the world the superiority
of the American workingman. For so
years Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
been demonstrating to the world its
wonderful ability to cure stomach,
liver and kidney disorders. It's fame
and success as a family medicine is
known from one end of the country
to the other and while other medi-
cines have sprung up from time to
time they have been unable to move
it from its position in the front rank
The Bitters is successful because it
positively cures flatulency, heartburn,
insomnia. dyspepsia, indigestion and
constipation. We urge all sick people
to try it.

BIGGEST ON RIVER
New Steamer ST. Paul Of Di-
almond 10 Line is Hand
some Graft.
PASSES DOWN STREAM TOMORROW
Berths for 400 Passengers-GettiDR
Ready for Worlds Fair
Business.

The new Diamond 10 steamer st.
Paul, just completed on the ways at
Eagle Point, passes down on her first
trip tomorrow. The boat is practically
new, only portion of the old hull
having been retained in the recon-
struction. The old st. Paul was very
large boat, but the new one is still
larger. The principal object of the
company in reconstructing the huge
craft was for the purpose of making
it the largest passenger steamer on
the upper river.
The new packet is modern in every
respect in both its interior and eX-
terror arrangements. The hull is made
of heavy oak timbers which fit firmly
together, affording a great strength
and durability. This portion of the
old boat tapered to point at either
end and it was none too wide for
safety. The new st. Paul has wide hull,
being $50 feet long and 43 feet, 3
inches wide and the projections over
the hull makes it 20 feet. The boat
is a side wheeler. with wheels % feet
in diameter and has a 10-foot bucket.
The whole structure of the new st.
Paul was built on the plans of the
steamer Quincy, which is considered
the finest packet on the upper river.
Fine Furnishings.
The accommodations of the boat
are the very best. Private rooms and
numerous other cOnveniences, all
make trip on this boat one
of great pleasure. The berths, of
which there are nearly 400, are neatly
furnished and pleasing in appearance.
new addition and vast improvement
in the way of accommodation on the
Diamond 10 steamer IS the new Texas,
or second cabin, which is built sole
~ for sleeping quarters, berths hav-
ing been arranged on either side of
the cabin, each of which can be en-
tered by passing through an aisle,
which runs from the foremost end to
the rear, or passing through the out
side of the cabin and entering through
the shutter doors This kind of
doors provides an exit on either side.
BY this arrangement good ventilation
| is secured.
Each statcroom has an upper and
| lower berth and the mattresses used
are of the very best material. The
! aisle which passes through the CABIN
is carpeted with brussels throughout
the entire passageway. In the rear
| il opens into chamber. which is to
| be used as a sort of reception com
partment for the passengers. Tables
and chairs are the furnishings and
all the woodwork is grained. The for
ward part of this cabin or Texas
is the officers quarters, where special
rooms have been arranged for that
Purpose. The staterooms are larger
than those of the passengers, the i'm
tention being to provide honelike
quarters for the officers. Passengers
may occupy the rooms day and
probably a week, but the officer oc-
cupies his quarters during the entire
season. II is his home. He retires
when off duty. and is up when he is
called and on duty again, but he never
| leaves the boat.

Salon a Beauty.

The main cabin or salon has about
$50 berths, each of which is arranged
similar to those of the Texas, except
their grained doors in the interior
take the place of the shutter doors.
This room is the most beautiful part
of the boat 1t has been enameled
white and trimmed with gold leaf.
The flooring is of maple and walnut.
The promenade deck takes up $50
feet. 16 feet on either side. The en-
gines. some of which are taken from
the old boat. are all good as new.
Large rooms have been built On either
side for the exclusive use of the col
ored cabin crew. Each room Will ac-
commodate 81 persons.
The Improvement of the old st. Paul
cost the Diamond 10 company about
100000. The object of the company
in increasing the size of the boat is
to meet the anticipated heavy passen-
ger traffic during the year 1904, when
the st. Louis exposition viii be on.
Owing to the fact that an acct
dent occurred to the old steamer
Pittsburg as a result of a cyclone at
st. Louis some years ago the manage
ment has adjusted strong steel rods
which are fastened to the roof of the
Texas. or top cabin, and securely held
in the hull of the boat. These rods are
placed at about every so feet from
each other. affording effective securi-
" against a hard wind storm. 1t
would be impossible for a severe gale
to blow off the top cabin unless the
whole boat topples over.

RACE PROBLEM DISCUSSED.
Southern Negro Addresses Chicago
Audience on the Question.

Chicago, March 30-"The solution
Of the negro problem lies with the ne
gro himself. 1t can be brought out
by his acquiring land, saving money
and educating his sons. There is
nothing in the cry about social equal
ity. The negro does not want it, and
does not expect it,"
This statement was made last night
at Bethed church by J. J. Smallwood.
president of the Temperance, indus
trial and Collegiate institute, negro
institution at Claremont Va.
AT the close Of the civil war;" Pro-
fessor Smallwood said, "the negro had
nothing. Since then he has accumu-
lated $30O,000,00O worth of property.
He has built up SO institutions or
learning and the race has furnished
27,000 school teachers. He had turn
ed his attention to buying land, and
this will eventually result in the solu-
zion of the race problem. l have no
objection to a law requiring negroes
to ride in separate coach on the rail-
ways What | do want is a division
of the coach, SO that we would not
have to mingle with the element in
our race that is summed by the edu-
Gated whites in theirs"

IN A LYNCHING MOOD.
New Workers Threaten Man Who Ran
No\Ao NJopoar With, Au+opoohiIa


Down Woman With Automobile.
New York, March 30.-Threats of
lynch1ng were raised yesterday in
Madison avenue against Albert E. Gal
latin, law student.
AS he was driving south on the av-
enue in his big racing automobile, ac-
companied by friend, Gallatin ran
down an old woman as she was cross
ing the street.
Only the interposition of a police
man, who placed him under arrest i'm
mediately saved him from harm at the
hands of the crowd.
He was locked up in the police sta
tton for nearly five hours before a
magistrate was found to admit him
to bail, as the sergeant in charge at
the station house refused to take the
responsibility of accepting bail, in view
of possible mortal result Of the acci.
dent.
The injured woman Is Mrs. Mary
Cusick, 65 years of age. At late
hour last night the physicians at the
hospital to which she had been re.
moved refused to hold out any certain
hopes Of her recovery. In addition
to severe cOntusions she had sustain
ed compound fracture of the right
wrist, and it was found necessary to
place her under ether before the bones
could be set.
Internal injuries also are feared.
The physicians at first were in favor
of amputating the arm, but decided
the risk would be too great unless the
course of the case rendered 1t abso-
lutely imperative
