Spring Fever" is much more
than a joke: it is a physical CON
dition. During the winter the
system. because of confinement,
less outdoor exercise, and winter
foods, becomes more or less stag
nant and clogged up, and the blood
becomes bad The bracing effect
of cold weather keeps the system
keyed up, but with a few warm
spring days the vitality drops. the
energies lag. We call it spring
fever. As a matter of fact, il is n
physical weakness. The system
has been impaired. There is dan
ger because of diseases. To many
people blood purifier and tonic
is necessary in the spring. 1t
would benefit everybody. DIR.
Harter's Iron Tonic has for half "A

HEAVY DEATH LIST
FOR MONTH OF FEBRUARY

The board of directors of the Mod
ern Woodmen adjourned yesterday
after allowing 300 death claims
amounting to total of $4,000 for
the month of February. This is an
unusually heavy draft and is consid-
erably above the assessment for the
month. 1t is expected that the claims
for the month of March viii exceed
the figure for February, experience
having shown that March brings the
greatest number of deaths of any
month in the year.

PLANS OF SINGERS

Assured.
FIRST YEAR VERY SUCCESSFUL
Fourth Concert to BE Given Next
Friday Even
ing.

Rock Island, March 21.-Editor Ar
gus: Rock Island citizens viii have the
pleasure next Friday. of listening to
the Hast of the four concerts promised
by the Choral society. This will close
the first year of the Organization.
About year ago half a dozen of
the citizens met to discuss the possi-
bility of organizing chorus, a So
ciety which should fill vacancy that
had too long been open. To set up an
organization that would make it it's
duty to advance the musical thought,
by advancing its members and educa t
ing the public taste for the best of
arts. music.
What is sweeter than music, and
what is more expressive than soHg?
What is sweeter and more ENJOYABLE
than n simple little number of mixed
chorus like "Sweet and Low with its
simple melody and beautiful har-
mony, and what is more rejoicing,
majestic, inspiring than to hear well
trained chorus and large orchestra
thunder forth with stirring aiesty
and grandeur, Thanks BE to God ;,
from Mendelssohn' immortal orator
10, Elijah" Surely both numbers can
bring the best results for the per-
formers as well as listeners. Al
though both are of entirely differ
cnt character, they can only bring
good results, an uplifting into a more
artistic temperament and atmos-
phere. They can only cause a long
ing for a purer, nobler and more ar
tistic thought.

Scott Has Easy picking Also

what was expected TO be sharp
skirmish over the city attorneyslip
nomination proved to be but a sham
battle. The lines were not sharply
drawn and on the informal ballot it
was seen that John X. Scott, thepres
ent incumbent, was far and away in
the lead. The lower wards were
pretty we'll divided with ii. NJ. Schri-
yer, but when the Seventh dropped it's
% for Scott, Schriver fell out of the
hopper. As for w. NJ. Walker. the
other aspirant, it is doubtful if he
was ever in it.
| There was a large crowd in the hall
and the fellows who want to hold
their jobs were largely in evidence,
not only in the delegations, but
among the spectators. Not a few
came expecting to see tloings, but
they scarcely got their moneys
worth. The spectators In some cases
got in ahead of the delegates and
there was many an argument over
seats before the latter were all
placed.

hammered the desk at 7:45 and after
reading the call asked for nomina-
tions for chairman. Some bright
member suggested the name of c. j.

The above are the nominees for
city-township offices picked at the
convention of the republicans last
evening at Turner hail. The function
was without features beyond the
manner in which William McConochie
held the delegations from the wards
instructed for him UP to the mark.
Not a member of the bunch was
permitted to go astray, the vote be-
ing announced by wards so that the
insurgent, should there be any,
would first find it necessary to have
it out with his chairman before he
could jump his Instructions, and none
was sufficiently devoted to the cause
of the other aspirants to do that.
Thus the main work of the conven-
ton was done on the cut-and-dried
order.
McConochie's enemies had what APP
peared to be momentary advantage
when they secured an informal ballot
preceding the formal one in the hope
that loose end might be turned mp
somewhere to work upon, but moth
ing of the kind occurred. The infor-
NAL part of the Program settled the
hash for Il. +. Knox, who in it made
his final founder and then yielded up
the ghost. Aid. y. G. Anderson, of
the Seventh, took his delegations,
those from the First and Second
wards. and held his own from the
Seventh. McConochie's henchmen
from the other four wards stood pat
and the trick was turned.

ASOpUSAbkOu EeenbAAbhNu
The Choral society has by it's last
years work established n reputation
that must necessarily convince the
most skeptical that we have the tai
ent here, and have the right talent
together to hold the respect of the
music loving public. Taking into CON
sideration that this was the first year
all was new, and many things to be
learned in the chorus work as we'll as
in managing as large an organization.
Rock Island may look with great hope
and expectations forward to the good
things TO be heard in the future and
the pleasant surprises the society may
have in store.
There is no doubt but what the So
ciety is now on the Threshold of its
real activity from musical stand
point, as members now inter
.ested, and such as NAV juin, are
people with a purpose, people that
enjoy the work, and not merely join
because it is fad. People who love
the art and from whom we can only
expect the very best results.
As regards the financial standpoint
there is no reason to doubt the sim
cerity of the people. They responded
well the first year, and they surely
will now. They have realized for
years the necessity of an organi-
cation Of this kind, and will surely
support it now, and not only support
it, but take a great pride in its well
fare, which of course means financial
support.
AIu n Noble One
The aim of the society is noble
one and is in no way a money-making
scheme, but purely for the uplifting
of conditions. in its line. Its support
and only revenue has been in money
received from subscriptions and tick
cts sold for concerts given; and it
should be duty and a pleasure to
every citizen to support so noble a
cause.
The program for next Friday brings
as usuak new features. A splendid
ladies' chorus and splendid male cho-
rus, besides repeating some of the
best works or parts of works given in
the past. 1t gives us also some SPLEEN
did solos for organ, vocal, violincello
and finally a great novelty in violin
solo given by little child wonder,

GOOD ROADS IN STATE.
Poll Tax Will be Payable in Cash
Hereafter.

If Iowa does not have some good
roads within the next few years it will
ot be the fault of some of her loyal
Residents. The new road law goes into
effect this spring. Under this law the
| old system of allowing man to work
out his poll tax is to be abolished. This
tax will now have to be paid in money
and this money will be expended for
road improvement by the three town
ship trustees.
A. +. Dawson; Senator Allison's sec:
retary, recently secured from Secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural department a
large number of special bulletins on
road Improvements and construction.
Many valuable experiments have been
published together with illustrations,
making works of inestimable value to
the person who has any road building
to do. From the auditors of the state
Mr.. Dawson secured the name of every
township trustee in the state. As there
are about 1000 townships in Iowa this
would make list of about 6,OOO To
each cne was sent the bulletins on road
making. They are the most valuable
dockets that the trustees could have at
this time and will no doubt be appre-
clate1 and made of use, AS their work
does not actually begin till spring the
trustees will have plenty of time 10
study up on the question as presented
in the agricultural department publica-
tions.
Through Mr.. Dawson's thoughtful.
ness and energy Iowa is peculiarly ia
vored. The number of issues of these
valuable publications were limited and
it was undoubtedly only because of
Secretary Wilson'S own regard for his
state that Mr.. Dawson secured permis.
sion to secure SO many copies. No
other state in the union will be SO we'll
equipped to improve her roads and the
result will surely be evident in Iowa
within the next year.
Congressman Haugen says that the
good roads movement may expect nc
help from the government this year a,
least. Mr. Haugen is member of the
agricultural committee to which ths
BrownelI good roads bill was reteria u
and he says that.the measure Wills Is

been discussed by the committee Is ye,
and probably will not be this session
All congress is doing for good roads a,
present is to appropriate about $4,000
each year for the maintenance of gooe
road commission whose work cannot b,
far reaching to say the least.
