On every bottle OF Liquozone we
publish an offer of $1,000 for a disease
germ that it cannot kill. We do that
to convince you that Liquozone does
as we claim.
Please note what that means. Any
drug that kills germs is a poison, and
1t cannot be taken internally. Medi-
cine is, therefore, almost helpless in
any germ disease. Liquozone alone
can kill germs in the body without
killing the tissues, too.

DAVENPORT DOTS

4 call was issued Saturday after
noon for a meeting of alumni of the
state university, TO consider resolu-
tions asking the state board of re
gents to appoint new president. This
shows that the resignation of Prof.
Calvin, the noted scientist of the Iowa
State University, convinced the Dav-
export alumni who investigated the
situation at the university Thursday,
that it was time TO act. 1T would be
shame TO lose Prof. Calvin said
Judge James w. BOllinger, one of the
alumni delegation. He is one Of the
finest scientists in the United States,
and his resignation would mean
great loss to the university. 1t seems
to be certain that the university must
lose either its faculty or its president,
and there seems no room for argu-
ment as to which it can best afford to
lose. While at Iowa City we found
an almost universal dissatisfaction
among the faculty with President
MacLean and lack of confidence in
him. We found that the attendance
at the university had been gradually
falling off. since 1901. The conditions
there were past the smOuldering
stage; they were terrible, and L am
not surprised that blaze has started
with Prof. Calvin's resignation. We
want someone more useful than orna-
mental in the chair of the president of
Iowa university, and the alumni are
going to act

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone kills
the germs. wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable. BY destroying
the cause of the trouble, it invariably
ends the disease, and forever.

Ritter against Adolph SchOening ct al
has been settled and without the need
of a jury. The case was taken from
the jury by the consent of both par
ties litigant and given to the court to

to recover the sum of $500 alleged
to be due for the rental Of Il barn

Second and Brown streets. The defen-
dants filed a countercliam alleging
that it was entitled to $1,000 damages

The defendants have occupied the Rit

judge decided the case awarding the

MOLINE MENTION

Grant school teachers did them
selves proud Friday evening at the
Watch Tower. \ plate shower was
given by them and Miss Ida Wedin, the
departing teacher, was the guest of
honor. Supper was served at the inn
and covers were laid for -. 1t was
while seated here that Miss Nedien
arose. and closing her eyes she threw
the bouquet that she carried and ii
fell into the lap of Miss Bertha Bas-
sett. After supper they went out to
a hillside and built bonfire and had
a marshmallow roast.
Interurban cars were run across the
dam and on to Campbell's island yes
terday for the first time for the con-.
venience of the public. All the ears
now cross to the island and cover the
loop. and probably this run will be
the rule for all cars in the future. The
innovation will give the public an OPP
portunity to see what a change is to
be effected. Work on the pavilion is
progressing so rapidly that the build
ing will be completed for the Memoir
al day opening. The intention is to
have the new resort ready for the
public, and Booker & Co., will have in
augurated their catering service by
that time.

Printers ink, tinted draft paper
and a clever CRATER, have made their
assault upon a Kansas City banker
to the amount of $3.50 using the name
of the First National bank of Daven-
port as drawing bank with the name
of j. ID. Saunders as cashier and the
Second National bank of New York as
correspondent The draft was the
usual litho work of first class order
and correspondent bank in red inks is
also a regular number and there was
nothing to arouse suspicion as it had
all the makeup of the genuine draft
as in daily use by bankers. As the
signature of the issuing bank is very
often only on file with the correspon-
dent bank, a bank paying same can
reasonably look only to the party
who appears as payee, and if not
known, to the party who introduces
such party whether he appears as in
dorser or not. \ prominent local bank

The Other Side.

Much interest has been shown lately
in the protection of corporations from
the action of any of it's individual MEM
bers. We have constantly advocated
the fair treatment Of all corporations.
We want to see them enjoy all the lib
erty consistent with justice, and with
the preservation OF the rights Of 9TH
ers. But we have never supposed-the
needed any special pleadings in their
behalf, in order to save them from the
attacks of the individual. In the course
of the late proceedings with the Allan :
tic and North Carolina road 1t has ap-
peared that the individual, though a
small stockholder. has some recourse
when his interests are in jeopardy. The
individual is the unit of corporations,
and 1t would be a great hardship II he
had no redress, no way of protecting
his interests against the action of the
majority.
It's commendable to stand for the
state, but the state is no more than an
aggregation Of individuals. every one
of whom is entitled to protection. So
while individuals may have be IN
taught a lesson, to one looking on both
sides of this matter. the state has had
some admonitions she is likely to re-
member.-Raleigh Evening Times.

a resident OF Charlotte writes the
following letter of complaint to The
Observer. of that city:
On last Tuesday morning my butler
was summoned to appear as a witness
in a trivial case at the court house and
was kept there that day, and as the
case was not reached, was told to ap
pear next morning at the opening of
the court. At noon he was told to
come again next morning. Thursday,
he spent the whole day and the case
was not reached. l do not know who is
to blame for this delay-perhapS no
body; but would advise my colorel
frineds that when there is a prospect OF
a fight or any other infraction of the
law in their neighborhood to take to
the woods, and never lok back until
they get there.
The writer OF the above is not the or
ly person nor Charlotte the on
ly city forced to suffer inconvenience
because of the holding of witnesses in
courts. We hear complaint in WI
mington of the same matter and we
suppose similar conditions exist in all
cities and towns in the state during
sessions OF court. 1t is a great nui-
sance and often works inconvenience
and hardship TO business men and en-
ployers. As with the Charlotte man
We do not know whose is the fault. if
anyone IS TO blame perhaps there is
no remedy for the evil, but there
should be one. In the meantime it
would be well for persons who do not
want to spend several days idling in
the court house to heed the advice of
the writer of the above letter to his
colored friends.

MIR. CRUMPACKER'S OPPOR-
TUNITY.

Mr.. Crumpacker is now given dn op-
portunity in his own state to give the
negro a full showing in matters po.
litical. The seventh district of his
state is composed of the couu-
tys Of Marion in which is situated
he city of Indianapolis. This county
has a population of about two hundred
thousand, with q large percentage Of
negroes, there being about 5000 males
over twenty-one years of age of this
race. Mr.. Overstreet has been it's rep
representative in congress for the Id st
ten years. His majority over his demG-
cratic and other opponents two years
ago was less than two thousand.
A negro in that district thinks his
race should have a representative Ii
congress and has declared himself q
candidate. 1t is hardly to be doubted
that if this negro, Knox by name,
should secure the solid vote Of the nc
groes the democratic candidate would
be elected. If the white republicans
vote soldly for him he will most PROB.
ably secure his seat in congress. Now,
what are the republicans going to do?
Run the risk of having a democrat
elected from their district or unite
with the negroes in electing one of their
race? Our prediction is that they will
do neither. They will do as is their
custom under such circumstances. If
Knox cannot be bought off, he will find
when the votes have been counted that
the men Of his race had been persuaded
to go back on him and to vote for the
white man.
If Mr.. Crumpacker is sincere in MS
advocacy of the protection of the negro
in his political rights he has an oppor-
tunity now of showing it. Why should
the pronounced friends of the negro in
Indiana who are so anxious to see him
protected in his political rights at the
south object to the six thousand color
ed voters in one county of their own
state being given the opportunity to he
represented in congress once in a life
time by man OF their own race? If
Mr.. Crumpacker could go back to coz
gress and say that his negro colleague
was present through his aid he could
advocate with some degree OF consis-
tency his measures for the reduction OF
representation in congress and in The
electoral college of the southern states
because OF the franchise amendments
to their constitutions.

No Peace i'm Philippines.

There appears in the New York
World a letter from United States ar
my officer doing duty in the Philip
pines. His name is not given-necessa-
rily it must be suppressed. He says
that peace in the island is an invention
for campaign purposes and the truth
is being suppressed until after elec-
ton.
This officer says: I'VE are going back
to something like the old method of
fighting the Indians. Recently Foster,
of the Twelfth infantry, and thirty-seV-
en- men were jumped on and two offi-
GERS and fifteen men were killed. Lieu
tenant Young. with small company,
was attacked, and Lieutenant Lewis
was shot through the body. Pope. the
son of the great General Pope, while
going up a river with twelve scouts,
had four men shot in ten minutes. TIE
two nearest him were killed. He could
not do a thing for the grass on the riv-
er's bank grows sixteen feet high
Here is another interesting state
ment:
1.-The Filipinos hate us more than they
did the Spaniards. Another thing dis
,turbs army men-many favorite for =
mer vets with political pull have never
even seen the Philippines, while others
have been sent here one, two, three,
even five and in one or two cases six
times. Favoritism in the army is con-
demned."
The republicans dare not acquaint the
people with the full facts of their i'm
perialistic policy. Many good American
lives are being sacrificed in the Philip
pines. We are keeping people in SUP
lection over there and are holding oTt
to them no hopes of ultimately working
out there liberty. Before the world we
stand convicted of claiming free gov
eminent for ourselves and denying IL
to others, multiplying our proud Decla-
ration of Independence boasts of equal
ity of man.-Winston Sentinel.

ROOSEVELT AND THE JEWS.


1t is strange that with Mr.. Roose-
velt's leaning toward a vigorous FOR
eign policy and his desire upon every
occasion, and even wI1en cause does
not arise, to meddle in the affairs Of
other nations for the purpose of estab-
fishing for his administrat ton the repu-
ration OF guarding with zeal the inter-
ests and rights of our own people and
our netghbors, that he should have
been so slow TO champion the rights of
one class Of American citizens-the
American Hebrew who wishes to enter
Russian territory, bearing an American
passport. He jumped al the opportu-
nifty to figure before the world as the.
champion of the Russian Jew when he
agreed TO call the attention Of that gov
ernment to the cruel treatment Of this
class of it's subjects. There was op-
portunity there for display and blus-
ter. He started that affair with his
usual dash and clatter, bu: Russia soon
called him down.
In the matter. though, of Russia vio-
lating her treaty with our government
in discriminating against American
Jews he has ignored all applications for
relief
For two years congress has been try
ing TO have the executive department
take up this grievance against Russia,
but it has refused to do 50. On every
occasion the department has evaded the
the matter. In 1892 the house passed
a resolution of inquiry into this matter
and again in the spring OF 1894, but still
evasive responses and refusal TO act
came from the state department. Nem>
bers of congress and other prominent
men called on the president and re-
quested protection for and proper treat
ment of this class of American citizens,
but nothing was done. The treaty
rights of Hebrew citizens of the Unit
ed States were being violated daily,
but no redress was demanded or steps
taken by the government to put stop
to such action on the part Of Russian
officials. There was no opportunity
here to make a display of the kind so
pleasing to our strenuous president.
The Jew who went TO Russia with a
passport from our state department
was a poor insignificant individual
over whose case there was no chance
to create such a stir as would make the
crowned heads of Europe wonder what
the American president would do next.
So he did not care to waste his own
time or that of the head of the state
department on him. For over two
years he allowed this condition 20 exist
and not until the meeting of the con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Roosevelt
did he feel called upon to take this mat
ter up and request Secretary Hay to
send to st. Petersburg an inquiry into
Russa's violation of her treaty, and
even now there is little prospect OF Wig
orous action in behalf of these Ameri-
cans.
