The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being n
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative powers that they offer
800 for any case that it fails to cure.

two years the senior classes have won
the cup. and this year the contest is
to be very close. The sophomore

Many Causes for Divorce.

The discussion of the matter
brought forth some interesting sta
tistics. many of which have been
gathered by Rev. ~ +. Montgomery.
rector of Trinity church, Episcopa-
liam. Rev. Montgomery recently un-
dertook thorough investigation of
the subject He was unable to secure
many purely local statistics as to
the proportion of divorces on account
of the fact that divorces cases in
common with many other classes of
legal proceedings are docketed under
the head of equity cases, in the dis
trict court, but from the reports of
Labor Commissioner Carroll ID.
Wright and from articles on the queS-
ton he discovered that there are ~
causes in this country which form
grounds for an absolute divorce. with
the privilege of remarriage accorded
to both parties. In no state do all of
these causes hold good in the stat
utes. but in each state there are four
or five causes for divorce. \ little
shifting of place of residence would
thus render it possible for most any
one to secure relief from irksome
matrimonial bonds, for the ~ causes
are broad enough to cover the whole
category of sins

BAN ON DIVORCES
Davenport Ministers Will Not
Remarry Defend
ants.
A STRONG RESOLUTION ADOPTED
The Approach Of a Serious Nor
al Crisis is
Feared.

At meeting of the Davenport Min
isterial association held yesterday
morning resolutions were unanimous
" adopted, the sense of which was
that the ministers of the Protestant
churches and creeds Of Davenport
bind themselves not to offciate at any
wedding in which either of the par
ties to the union have at any time fig
ured as the guilty party to a suit for
divorce. This matter has been under
discussion among the ministers of
the city for some time past, but it
had never come to Il head before.
During the past few years govern
ment statistics show that the proper
ton of divorces granted has grown
most dangerously fast, separation re-
storing the rights of unmarried cou-
pies being given to couples disgrunt-
led at each other with such freedom
as to seriously imperil the sanctity
of that institution so dear to Ameri-
cans. the home.
The text of the resolution follows:
BE il resolved, That we will only
consent to remarry those whom we
believe to have been the innocent par
ties to divorce; and that we will
aid each other in the enforcement Of
this resolution" The matter was the
subject of some little discussion. but
all of the clergymen present were
unanimous in their approval of the

Return OF Chaperons

One OF the most important attrac-
ticns of the year is announced for APP
pearance at the Illinois Wednesday.
| This will be Frank L. Perley's famous
company of singing comedians in the
popular trayesty, ''The Chaperons.' -
This well-known musical piece has
been before the public for nearly two
years, and has been given i'm nearly
every city of Importance in the east
and middle west. 1t enjoyed IA very
prosperous engagement here last sea-
son. The Chaperons" is by Frcder-
lex Ranken and Isadore Witmark and
was staged under the personal super
vision Of George w. Lederer. Since its
first production the book has receiv-
Ell additions in the way of dialogue,
comedy incidents and lyrics from the
facile pen Of the well known newspa-
per humorist, George V. Hobart The
production is said to be an unusually
pretentious one from scenic stand
point. 1t is in two acts-the first one
being laid in the Latin quarter of
Paris, and the second one in the court
yard of the famous Alexandria hotel
at Alexandria. Egypt. Both these
sets are unusually beautiful and mag
nificent specimens of the scene pain
ter's art. All will be remembered by
those who saw them last season. They
are from the studio of Joseph Physi-
oc. Careful attention has also been
paid to the careful dressing of the
piece; all the costumes having been
made from original water color de
signs, by the master painter, Archie
Gum. One of the most attractive
features of The Chaperons" is the
abundance of light and catchy meIo-
dies. Among the songs which were
popular last season are ''In My Off
cial Capacity" ''The Modern Chaper-
on THE Little Girl Who Couldn't
Say No. Talk, Talk. Talk" "We're

BILLION AND A HALF CONGRESS

The appropriations of the last con
gress aggregate ~. $50. 100000 The
fifty first congress was assailed fur.
iously by the democrats because it ap.
propristed billion dollars The last
congress has appropriated billion
and half-the cost of governing the
country has increased 90 per cent. in
twelve years aud yet there may not
be much said about congressional eS-
travagauce. Undoubtedly great
deal OF money is wasted. but it is aa-
mitted generally that as the country
grows in population there must BE- a
increase in expenditures. As il is
growing in wealth also, larger ap-
preparations can be made for prbiic
purposes without taxing too severely
the resources of the people. 1t is not
now extravaganza to make approprla-
tions foI rural mail delivery. while
it would have been extravaganza not
many years ago.
The fifty seventh congress appro-
priated 800. 600, 900 more than its pre-
decessor did. Senator Aldrich says
the increase is mostly accounted for by
the Panama canal appropriation of
$50, 600. 900, a $27, 100000 river and
harbor bill and an increase appropria
tion of $l5. 900. 600, for the postal
service. He thinks the people will
indorse the three items of increase
which the two political parties united
in voting. They certainly will so
far as the Panama canal and the post
Office department are concerned, but
they have not high opinion of river
and harbor bills. to which the!
believe large percentage of the vast
age of government funds is chargeable.
The Fifty sixth congress made
larger appropriatins for military pur-
poses than did its successor, and made
smaller ones for the navy. That
branch of the service is the expand
ing one, which will call for an in
creasing expenditure. The army will
not be enlarged, but the people wish
TO have larger navy more vessels
and more men-and they will not
complain of expenditures for that pur-
pose. Thirty years ago congress ap-
propriated $23. 900, 900 for the navy
and twice that sum for the army. AT
the last session ssi. .oOo. 600 was ap-
propriated for the navy and smaller
sum for the army.
