chamberIain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised az
the great popularity of Chamberlaln's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perm
anently, but prevents these disea ses
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleas
ant to take. When all of these facts
are taken into consideration it is not
surprising hat people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very few
are willing to take any other after
having once used it. For sale by all

MISS CLARION WHITE DEAD.
A Young Woman Who Was Beloved
by Many Friends Passes Away.

Miss Rose White received a tele-
gram Sunday, which stated that her
sister Clarion died at her home IN
Clarion, Iowa, Friday, Oct. T..
Clarion came here in July. 1903, and
for a time her health seemed greatly
improved, but since February she mad
failed SO fast that Miss Rose return
ed to Iowa with her in May, where
they stayed until August when Clar-
ion wished to return.
The second trip to Roswell did not
benefit her, and her mother came
down and took her home.
She was a general favorite with
all who knew her, a member of the
Presbyterian church and a faithful
worker in the Sunday school.
Miss Rose and her brother Milan
received the message too late to think
of returning home. Their many
friends here sympathize with them
in this their time of sorrow.

No Exceptions Possible.

No exceptions are possible for eNf,
cept:onal conditions. InI.1S1hr Chicago
adopted this general charter, thereby
going. so far as charter privileges are
concerned. into the class Of small
towns and villages. The assumption
was that the metropolis required no
governmental provisions different
from those of MinOnk or Oquawlla;
that the administrative problems TO be
met in a city of 100000 inhabitants
wore the Same as those existing in Red
Bud and ShawnCetown.
But ii was soon discovered that this
was not practicable; that whatever the
lawmakers might decree. Chicago, with
its marvellous growth, diversified inter
ests and stupendous requirements. was
a class by itself. 1t was found almost
Immediately. and the fact has become
more emphasized each year, that GER

Indispensable to the proper governing
of 4 great metropolis which are not
adapted to cities of small populations
To meet it's municipal demands, I'M
der the rigid restrictions of the con-
stitution. Chicago has sought legisla-
ton OF almost every general assembly
during more than a quarter century,
much of which was of makeshift ma
ture. the object always being to meet
the emergency and keep within con
stitutional limits. This has grown a
double evil.

ing that the Rock Island is not only the
lessor, but the owner, of what is now
its northern system. Mr.. Wright, who

suit to force the Rock Island to re-
linquish its lease on the Burlington,
tCedar Rapids & Northern division re
Gently acquired. Stories to this effect
have been published in the last few
days. claiming the Rock Island is
wrecking the property and in doing
this it is violating the lease. The no.
tice given is a desire to force down
the price of the Burlington stock so
that the Rock Island can buy it at the
low figure.
Mr.. Wright said: There can be no
truth in the story, for the reason that
the Burlington road is now owned
by the Rock Island a fact that
| is not generally known to the writer's
of newspaper railroad fiction. 1t is
true the road was first taken over I'M
der a lease. but quickly following the
taking OF the lease practically all of
the stock of the company was taken
over by the Rock Island. so that the
property is now owned by the Rock
Island company. II would be a diff
cult matter as a consequence to dis
posses the company of it's own prop
erty because it is neglecting it. The
absorption of this and the Choctaw
properties was the reason for the re-
cent increase in the capital stock.
There is no truth in the report
that the property is being neglected,
either. 1t is being kept up and improv-
ed all the time

PUSHING CHARTER
". III. Chadwick In Rock Island in
Interest Of Pending Constitu-
tinnAI amendment.
CITY IN A CLASS BY ITSELF
Ratification OF tie Measure Requires
Majority of Votes Cast at the
November Election.

w II. Chadwick, who is campaign
ing in the interest of the Chicago new
charter movement. is spending the day
in Rock Island calling on men promi-
nent in the democratic and republican
parties. The movement to obtain n
new charter Cor Chicago is entirely in
the interest of economical and effec-
tive city government, Mr.. Chadwick
said The proposition is not new. as
efforts in that direction have been
made several times in the last dozen
years. ..... ;
The constitution of 1870 is manda-
tory as to the uniform application of
laws. and forbids all special legisla-
ton. 1t permits no special charters
for cities. The cities and villages act
passed ny the Legislature Of 1872. I'M
der the terms of the (then) new con
stitutiOn, provides for the government
under the same set of laws of all cities
Of 900 inhabitants or over within the
state.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-08-25
WaStefuI Government.

1t has haTaSSed the legislature, no
doubt TO the Getrimcnt of the rest of
the state, and has given Chicago a
complex, conflicting. wastefuI and very
inadequate scheme of government 1t
may be said that no other city in the
world is so seriously shackled in this
respect. The fault is not chargeable
either to the people of Chicago or to
the legislature. Nor should the con-
stitution be condemned. 1t is a noble
instrument in most things, lacking
mainly in it's unfortunate restrictions
on Chicago, the wonderful develop
ment of which city the trainers of the
constitution failed to forecast.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-08-25
Objects of the Amendment.


Mr.. Chadwick says the logical, rea-
sOnable thing to- do now is to amend
the constitution so that il will author
ize the legislature to grant Chicago a
special charter (without seeking in
any wise to change constitutional pro
visions for the rest of the state. en-
bodying those changes from the pres
cnt general charter which arc essen
tial to ChicagO's needs. For this pur-
pose the Chicago new charter cOnven-
tiOn was organized. 1t consists of about
seventy delegates from the principal
business and civic organizations, and
clubs. The county and city govern
ments are also represented. 1t first
convened late in 1902, and after a
number of sessions agreed unanimous
~ upon the amendment plan for con
stitutional changes
To secure the ratification of the
amendment TO the constitution it must
receive a majority of all the votes cast
at the November electiOn-not merely
majority of those cast on the amend
ment, but majority of the entire vote
cast in the state.
