RECEPTION TO CARTER
IS SHINY ATTENDED

Supreme Court Justice Joseph y.
Carter, of Quincy, came to Rock Isl
and Saturday to play the leading role
in a reception at the Harper that ey-
ening. and to which invitations of a
personal nature had been sent out.
The cards urged members of the par
ty to be present and meet the candi-
date for reelection to the supreme
court, but the temper and inclination
of the party up this way was shown
in the few who responded. Aside from
little Johnny Rinck, who is doing a
large portion of the engineering of
the Carter campaign in this county,
Charley Searle, the rejuvcnated, Col. {.
l.. Walker, Mayor William McConochie
and a few others, the party repre-
sentatives seemed to have forgotten the
date, and the affair, taken as a whole,
had the effect of casting a dampener
on the political aspects of the Quincy
jurist. 1t is plainly apparent that the
republicans of Rock Island county,
taken as a whole. fail to see the salts
faction as far as they are concerned
of doing the clecting to Office of Il
candidate who nominated himself be-
fore they had chance to present a
candidate for the office. and then de
clined to even notice their supplica-
tons for fair play in the premises.
1t may be that Judge Carter can carve
out a new judicial district for his own
benefit and then seize the nomination
of his own party before anyone else
has a chance, but when it comes up
to the people with the ballots-it's
different.

KING EDWARDS FAREWELL
To King Carlos at Lisbon Was Most
Affectionate and Cordial.

Lisbon, April liking Edward board
ed the royal yacht Victoria and AL
bert, this afternoon, preparatory to his
departure from Lisbon, tonight, for Gil
braltar. The ceremony at His Majes-
tvs embarkation was the same as on
his arrival here. King Edward and
King Charles received an ovation along
the whole route. The state barge was
escorted by an enormous fiotilla of
boats filed with cheering people.
King Carlos lunched on board the
Victoria and Albert and afterward
King Edward proposed the health of
the King of Portugal. In his speech
he expressed his thanks for the affec-
tionate and cordial welcome extended
to him and spoke in the warmest terms
of the friendship existing between the
two nations which shall continue to
walk together in the paths of peace,
progress and civilization for many cen
turtles. The allied nations have both
been great colonizing powers. I think
we have shown the world that our OBJ
ject is to establish an efficient govern
ment in all our possessions. My coun-
try has but one wish--to uphold the
honor of the flag and maintain its col
onies without encroaching on the pos
sessions of Others"
King Carlos replied with like warmth,
saying that England could count on
Portugal being her true and loyal
friend forever. The British royal yacht
accompanied by the British cruisers
Minerva and Venus. left Lisbon for Gil
braltar, this evening.

THE DREYFUS CASE.
Deputy Jaures Reopens 1t in House and
Causes Great Excitement.

Paris, April THE Francois asserts
that the counsel of ministers, today,
.ook cognizance of the efforts made in
he Chamber of Deputies yesterday by
NJ. Jaures, Socialist, to reopen the
Dreyfus case and authorized War Min
.ster Andre to resist the proposition for
parliamentary inquiry into the latest
charges made, on the ground that if
VI. Jaures is in possession of any new
acts the war Office will take the initia-
i've in inquiring into them.
The renewal of the Dreyfus discus
sion in the Chamber of Deputies drew
L great crowd to the House, today. The
.alleries were packed and there was
much excitement on the floor. The
lebate was evidently arousing great
bitterness. M. Jaures renewed his
criticisms of the methods adopted to
convict Dreyfus, asserting that after
the Colonel Henry incident the war Of
fee adopted the plan of using the in
eliminating letter which was falsely as
cribed to Emperor William.
AS M. Jaures proceeded with his
speech there were continuous uproars
and disorder.

New York, April 1.-Two Frenchmen,

and one eye was hurt.
When questioned as to some of his

Was Weakened by Consumption Until She
Couldn't Raise Her Arms Above
Her Head,
WASHINGTON. DC Mar

WASHINGTON, DC, March s, 1909.
Gentleman In August last my daugh-
ter Elsie was taken with the typhoid fever ;
she was in the care of two physicians for
about two months, expecting her to die
every day. After the fever broke, both
doctors said it had left her with the con-
sumption and that it was only question
of few days and that they could do
nothing more for her. She then could not
raise her hands over her head. NY wife
seeing an advertisement of Blood Wine
in the papers suggested that we try it, as
the doctors had ceased to give her any
medicine. We commenced the Blood
Wine with excellent results; after taking
the first bottle she got out of bed and sat
in an invalid chair, and after the second
bottle she came down stairs, and kept on
improving right along until she had taken
six bottles, and now she is as well and
strong as she ever was in her life, and if
you should see her you would not think
there were any signs of consumption.
After being given up by the doctors to
die, Blood Wine spared her life and we
feel very thankful. We have been using
Blood Wine in the family and have told
many friends of it, and they also find that
it is grand good medicine.
Yours truly,
