he said, land it does seem to me that
no difficulty should be had in finding

THE trouble is" said Tippit, that
they are all on the Republican side. We
have not objected to the appointment
of any employees, although your SIDE of
the house has a much larger proportion
than the political complexion of the
house would warrant Bundy with
drew his objection, and the resolution
was adopted. Another resolution pro-

the policemen as Il mail carrier was
also adopted.

MANY RELIABLE WITNESSES
Prove That Old Cases of Chronic Ca

A Medicine That Will
Cure Cases Of Catarrh
Of Long Standing De-
serves a Very Hig h
Place in the Annals of

Such a Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna. Hs.tfa.tDG
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-

Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
pies a prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age in the
United States, and during his practice
of over fifteen years he has not lost a
single case in the Supreme Courts of
Illinois and Missouri. He is a hard
worker and has the energy of four men.
For a number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hay

in which he gave the following state

ICE ON THE MOVE
Mississippi Covering in Front Of
City Stats Toward
the Gulf.
BEGINS BREAKING UP LAST NIGHT
Very Thin and Final Exodus is
Without Usual
Features.

The ice is out. During last night it
pushed over toward the Rock Island
shore and began breaking up. This
morning about 1890 it definitely de
cided To take leave of these parts and
began to move quietly and unosten-
tatiously away from in front of the
city.
This afternoon the channel between
Rock Island and Davenport was not
clear by any means. There were sew
cral large piles of the cool rearing
themselves from the middle of the
stream with the water running down
little channels among them. Below
On the Davenport side the Crescent
bridge held a large field. while above
there was also a field filing the slack
water above line from the ferry
dock to the south end of the Rock
Island bridge.
These fields are held by piles of ice
similar to those in the middle of the
river formed when the river closed
late in December and added to by the
breaking up process. Unless the river
rises considerably these piles will hold
for several days or until they are
worn away piece by piece.
Last Part to Go.
The ice in front of the city was the
last on this section of the river TO go.
Below the Crescent bridge the stream
has been clear since Thursday after
noon, while the breakup on the rap
ids has been going on for several
days. Had not the foes that reached
the bottom of the river held the ice
at this point would have gone out sew
eral days ago. AS il was it became sO
"rotten" that it readily broke up and
there was little piling on shores when
ii moved. The Davenport shore APP
pears to have borne the brunt of the
crush and white line of crystal was
left all along the levee opposite this
city. Above the bridge there is high
barrier of ice that has come off the
rapids and that apparently reaches
entirely across the rivG.
The clearing of the Hver has slight
~ ante-dated the time set by the ma
iority of the prophets who have been
so indiscreet as to attempt to fore
east the event. Last year the first
move of the ice took place the night
of March l. but il stopped after trav-
cling Il block. 1t finally went out

THE REMEDY FOR MOB VIOLENCE.

An unspeakable crime in Montana, followed by
an effort to visit the perpetrator with such pun
ishment as the one usually inflicted nowadays, was
prevented only through positive assurance that the
human beast would be given a speedy trial. There
is no other way to appease the righteous indigna-
ton of an outraged community; no other way to
prevent otherwise law-abiding citizens from taking
the law into their own hands. Society ought not
and will not longer tolerate delay in the speedy adj
mnistration of justice. Human nature is power
less of restraint in the presence of criminals who
assault the dearest ties of family and perpetrate
crimes that brought divine vengeance upon Sodom
and Gomorrah To say that the punishment of the
mob upon violaters of women and children breeds
the spirit of anarchy, understand its alb
stract meanng to say that it will lead to mobbing
criminals for lesser crimes, as President Roose-
welt has pointed out, is to impeach the character
Of civilized people. Instances are where
the criminal has been lynched without indisput-
able evidence of his guilt, and rarer yet where
criminal has been so punished for deed less saw
age than the outrage and murder of helpless fe-
males.
Therefore, there is no way to get around this
proposition other than the one suggested by Chief
DTeN6I. liz MIS- oll WITCH
he says:
''What can be done to stay this epidemic of
lynching? One thing is the establishment of a
greater confidence in the summary and certain
punishment of the criminal. Men afraid of
the laws delays and the uncertainty of its results
Not that they doubt the integrity of the judges but
they know that the law abounds with technical rules
and that appellate courts will often reverse judg
ment of conviction for disregard of such rules
notwithstanding full belief in the guilt of the
cused If all were certain that the guilty ones
would be promptly tried and punished, the induce
ment to lynch would be largely taken away"
All the better if another suggestion of Justice
Brewers is adopted the one prohibiting appeals in
criminal cases If jury of twelve men, after lis
tening to every point of evidence, actual and cir
cumstantial bring in verdict of guilty and that
verdict is set aside by appellate court because
of the omission of some rule of law during trial
or other objection known only to lawyers, then our
code of criminal procedure is a farce and one
made for the destruction of justice rather than for
the protection of society 1t should be constructed
with Jess regard for rule and techncality and more
regard for plain evidence and punishment of crime
With such code less criminals would go about I'M
hung and more lawyers turned away from legal
fin-Aammng.

THAT NOISE COST SO A NOISE.

President Roosevelt, remains at Oyster Bay,
presumably taking a rest. The conception of rest
to some minds is something higher than mere re-
Taxation, like swinging in hammock and reading
a novel Especially is it so to the mind of strenu-
Gus men, like our president for example. To such,
something must be injected into life or rest in
reality becomes unrest. That explains the pres
ence the other day of a war feet outside Oyster
Bay, for the qualification of the president and his
friends. That is what caused the loud noise, terri
flying the fishes of the deep and causing the deaf to
hear and those who were not deaf to wish that they
were.
The editor of the Salt Lake Herald is mean
enough to figure up the cost of these presidential
salutes from $500 guns at So shot, and brings up
the total to $4,000 expended by the government
in ammunition alone for the purpose of making
things pleasant for Mr. Roosevelt and his friends.
The Herald did not and will not confess that the
president is different person from the man who
wasn't worth powder to blow him to-Halifax
That's because the Herald is prejudiced 1t did
say that no other president considered himself of
sufficient Importance to justify the assemblage of
a war feet in his honor. The Herald is entirely
too partisan. 1t should name some president, any
president, who ever attained the greatness of
Roosevelt
