ROBBERS ATTACK THE ROCK
ISLAND AGENT AT BUFFALO

II. j. Zenor, the Rock Island agent
at Buffalo, reports having been set
upon and severely beaten and robbed
yesterday morning at about 1 o'clock.
He was sitting at his desk receiving a
message over the wire when two men
drove up in buggy and stopped out
side the station. They tied their horse
and went into the Office and one of
them addressed a question TO the
agent when the other stepped up be-
hind him and struck him fearful
blow on the back of the head.
Both of them then set upon him
and beat him severely, after which
they took all the cash he had on his
person and drove off. The police M
Davenport were notified at once and
men were set to watch all the roads,
but no trace of the men was found
so that it is thought they did not
come east. One of the men is describ-
ed as being short and heavy set and
was wearing a light straw hat and
gray trousers with black and white
striped shirt. The other man was
tall and wore a black fedora hat.

Catarrh of the stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and infiames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves and causing the glands to Sc
crete mucin, instead of the natural
juices of digestion. This is called ca
tarrh of the stomach. "For years l

caused by Indigestion. Doctors and

Nourishment is the foundation of
health, life, strength. Kodol Dyspep-
STA Cure is the one great medicine
that enables the stomach and diges-
tive organs to digest, assimilate and
transform all foods into the kind of
blood that nourishes the nerves and
feeds the tissues. Kodol lays the
foundation for health. Nature does
the rest. Indigestion, dyspepsia and
all disorders of the stomach and di-
gestive organs are cured by the use
of Kodol.

All Reports to This Effect Emphat.
icalIy Denied at the Local
Agency.

The current issue of the Waterways
journal, published at St. Louis, has a
rumor to the effect that Capt. John
Streckfus has decided to put the City
of Winona in the trade from Mem
phis to RosedaIe, Tenn. Another re-
port that is circulating in this vicinity
has it that the Winona will be run be-
tween La Crosse and st. Paul. If
either report is true it indicates an
intention on the part of Capt. Streck-
fus to abandon the field between the
tri-cities and Clinton.
The advent of the interurbans and
the evident seriousness of purpose on
company to build up this side of the
river and of the L. & l. company to
build from Davenport to Clinton are
understood to have seriously affected
the prospects of the river trade the
City of Winona now caters to, as the
railways promise to carry both pas
sengers and freight at lower rates
than are now charged by water.

Seventeen Lives Lost.


A cyclone struck the steamer Olive,
which plies between Franklin, Va,
and Endenton, N. g., at $3.50 O'Clock
Tuesday night, and sent her to the
bottom of the Chowan river, off
Woodley's Pier, Norfolk, Va. Seven
teen people are known to have been
drowned, and others who were res
cued were in serious condition.
Typhoid Fever at Cornell.
Three more deaths of students of
Cornell University from typhoid fever,
occurred Tuesday. No deaths occur
red among the townspeople, although
there are a number of very crit
ical condition. Eleven physicians
reported eight new cases and eight
others sent out of town. The reason
for sending new cases out of town is
that the local physicians are utterly
unable to care for additional sufferers.
New Secretary.
The President has sent the follow
ing nomination to the senate: George
B. Cortelyou of New York to be sec
rotary of commerce and labor. The
senate has confirmed this nomination
under the act creating this new de-
partment. The nomination was re-
ferred to the committee after the
senate went into executive session
and the committee was polled on the
floor. Senotor Depew reported the
nomination with favorable recon-
mendation. He asked for immediate
action and Mr.. Cortelyou was con-
firmed without opposition.

MARCH THIRD.

At this stage of the license move
ment a word with the voters may
not be out of place. The vote taken
on February third declared for high
license in Vermont. Now it should
be remembered that this new law has
a local option paragraph, which,
while at first thought might be
considered a bad feature may, if
rightly viewed and rightly used
yet prove a SAVIOR of salvation unto a
majority OF the smaller towns of the
State. 1t remains for the advocates
of good citizenship to decide by your
potes on March third whether or not
your town will license the sale of
legalized cussedness. If your town
votes for no license, then the only
liquor shop that can be forced upon
you is that of registered pharmacist
at which liquor may be sold only on
presentation of physicians prescrip-
ton and only once on each prescrip-
ton. Tho restrictions are very close
and severe. OF course it need not be
expected that the letter of the law
will be always respected. 1t is long
way from being 50 under the present
arrangement.
Query: Would not a saloon of this
kind, If properly managed, and ii
have it we must, be preferable to the
present town agencies, those mock
cries, at which, as a rule, almost any
body on almost any day in the year
can obtain liquor in almost any guam
titles to suit? This is q case in which
of several evils we should choose the
least. Don't get the notion that be
cause the state as a whole has declared
for license we are now past redemp-
ton. It's no such thing. This local
option clause, rightly improved will
put a long distance between many
a town and licensed territory.
Let every temperance voter be
on deck March third. If you want nc
license in your town vote for it
The majority will get what the
majority votes for. 1t turns out tha
many men who relish their toddy, bt
it said to their credit, had the mora
courage to take their conscience
along with them on February thirt
and vote against the open saloon
Let no boasting temperance enthusi
asst be thus again outdone by refrain
ing from casting his influence in tn
right direction at the coming Marc
meeting. 1t is safer to hang to
right principle, and far more respect
able. If you can't have just wha
you want then get as near to it q
possible.
