CHANCE is GOOD
Prospects for Large Democratic
Vote in Congressional
Contest.
REPUBLICAN STRIFE PLENTY
If Rock Island Republicans Fail in
Getting Nominations, Democrats
May Select Local Man.

Indications point to lively contest
in the congressional campaign. and
seldom are the prospects for a demo
cratic congressman in this district bet
ter than they are at the present time.
The situation among the republicans
of the county indicates that there will
be plenty of strife, which will be taken
to the congressional convention.
The chances for a republican nomi-
nee from this county are not of the
| best, and if they go down the district
for a candidate, Rock Island county.
the largest in the district. will probably
have the privilege of furnishing the
democratic nominee. However. what
ever the situation may be and what
ever territory the democrats may elect
to choose from, there are plenty of
men who are leaders in the district in
ability.
| Available Men.
| In Rock Island county are Hon. Ell
more w Hurst. Hon. T. j. Medill. s. r.
KenwOrthy and E II. Guyer. of this

J. w. Lusk, and Truman Plantz. of
Warsaw, general attorney of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, is also men
toned. Any of these men are strong
and fully able to represent the entire
district and its varied interests, and
there is no question of an excellent
choice hainp u1aHn nv tho ri

THE CRATER OF PoAs.
One of the strangest Sights of Costa

 Rica.
 About twenty-five miles to the north west of the city of San Jose, the capi- tai of Costa Rica is the remarkable volcano of Poas. This is one of the nu- merous volcano mountains of the cen tral chain, and while not the highest among them, is beyond question one of the most interesting, picturesque and easily accessible. The degree of activ- ity of the volcano varies from time to time, but since last April the frequency and violence of the eruptions have largely increased, and numbers of them have been clearly observed in San Jose.
 At an altitude of 8,360 feet the trav- eler suddenly and quite unexpectedly reaches the lip of the crater, and with an indefnable sensation of awe and wonder finds himself at the very brink of vast perpendicular-side pit of seemingly recent origin, at the bottom of which lies motfonless pool of vel Jewish water.
 The sense of deadly stiffness and des- olation is undisturbed by any indica- tiontion of life. The almost vertical walls are devoid of even a vestige of plant creation; not a bird wings its

BABYS AWFUL
 SCALY ECZEMA
Top of Head Covered with Scales which Peeled Off, Taking Hair with Them - Scalp Now Clean, Hair Thick, Speedy and
PERMANENT CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

My baby was six weeks old when the top of her head became covered with thick scales, which could peel and come off, taking the hair with it. It would soon form again and be as bad as before. My doctor said it was Eczema, and prescribed an ointment, which did no good. I then tried Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. l washed her head in warm water and Cuticura Soap and gently combed the scales off. They did not come back and her hair grew out fine and thick. She is now a year and half old, and has no trace of Eczema. - Mrs. c. W. Burges, Iranistan Ave, Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb. 21, 1898"
 Mrs. Burges writes Feb. 2S, 1908:
 My baby, who had Eczema very badly on her head, as I told you before, after using the Cuticura Remedies was cured. She is now six years old, and has thick hair and a clean scalp"

AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
CONGREGATIONAL CLUB CELE-
 BRATB FOREFATHERS' DAY.

Interesting Address by Professor Will
 Iiston waIker-Reeeption and MusI-
 caI-EIectiOn of New Members.
 The New Haven Congregational club celebrated Forefathers' day at Ply mouth church last night by holding a reception and listening to an excellent address by Professor Williston Walker, of Yale There was a good attendance of the members and their lady friends. The church parlors, where the recep- tion took place, were beautifully dec orated with flowers and potted plants. The receiving committee at the recep- tion included the following: President Levi T. Snow ard Mrs. Snow, Rev. Dr. William w. McLane and Mrs. McLane, Secretary Theodore B. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson, Professor H. M. Whitney and Mrs. Whitney, Samuel S. Adams and Mrs. Adams and Professor Willis ton Walker.
 A pleasant feature of the reception was the violin and piano numbers rer- dered by Stanley R. and William C, McI4ane, sons of the pastor. The re- ception was socially a great success.
 The principal event of Eae evening was the address in the church by Pro lessor Williston Walker, of the chair of ecclesiastical history in the Yale Theo- logical school. Professor Walkers theme was, What Our American Civil Institutions Owe to Our Congregational Forefathers,"
 The address was an excellent one and was listened to with close attention by all present. Among other things, Pro- lessor Walker said that .Congregation- alism was a branch of Puritanism and had produced the town system, which was very similar, indeed, to the church system of Congregationallsm; that the services rendered by them in the mat ter of education had been very cOnspic- uous. In the beginning the Puritans established the system of public schools Harvard, Yale and other seats of learn ing were the product of Congregation alism. In the matter of slavery the Congregational church divided honors with other church systems, and it had long line of advocates in the matter of the abolition of slavery. The incor' poration of the anti-slavery ordinance of 17S7 was secured through the wori of several New Haven ministers.
 A motion was made and seconded that the club take an interest in ant follow up the curfew ordinance. The matter was left to the outlook commit tee.
 The following new members wer' elected: Frank J. Diamond, Ph. D., O Dwight Place church; Professor 1saa' P. Smith, of Dwight Place church Frederick Chatfield, of the Church o the Redeemer, and William R. Older shaw, of the Church of the Redeemer
 The meeting was presided over b! Levi T. Snow, president of the club, wh' at the close thanked Professor Wake for his interesting address; also ta pastor of Plymouth church and hi wife, as we'll as the members, for thei use of the church and parlors.

-A-4~--~--@-----@- CONNECTICUTS OFFICERS.

Their Appointment Indicates Approach
 of Battleship's Completion.
 That the battleship Connecticut is rapidly nearing completion was indi- cated by the announcement made at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday, of the first appointments of members of the vessels crew. It was given out that Lieutenant F. P. Baldwin Is to have the honor of being the senior engineer officer of the Connecticut, and that J. T. Biggs is to have the position of warrant machinist on board the new ship. Lieutenant Baldwin has been on duty in the yard, but has been detach- ed and has been assigned to duty as in- spector of machinery of the Connecti- cut. His assistant as inspector is Ma chinist Riggs. Each warship in course of construction has an inspector of machinery, or ordnance, of equipment and of construction although the latter has the technical name of "superin- tendent of construction"
 Not only in these appointments, but also in the nature of the work now going on on board the Connecticut is it's approach to completion made mani- fest. The employees of the great de- partment of construction and repair, the largest signle department at any government navy yard, are now engag- edin what is known in the language of the department as chicken feed" that is, the finishing and light touches, such as the putting in place of the furniture, the installation and testing of the plumbing, the hanging of the hammock hooks, etc. .% ~ ..

 Clarence D. Van Duser, the represen- tative from Nevada, is also a resident of Tonopah in the new gold-rnining district, but he has spent a good deal of his time in Washington, where he was educated at Georgetown, Univers- ity and, served as private secretary to Senator Newlands.
 Samuel Henry Piles of Seattle is 47 years old, but he had never held an office except city attorney and assistant prosecuting attorney until he was cleo ted to the United States Senate last winter.

 Isador Rayner of Baltimore is per- hapes better known than any other of the new Senators, except Thomas Hen- ry Carter of Montana and James Alex- ander Hemenway. MT. Raynor is a man of charming personality, a grace full speaker and social favorite. He likes to stir things up politically, and has made his greatest reputation as a reformer. There are lots of things which need reforming, and he can find plenty to do. MT. La Toilette of Wis consin has been in the same business as MT. Rayner, and has been equally successful, but the great sorrow of his life is that he cannot be governor and senator too. There is so much good to accomplish in Wisconsin that he hates to leave that field, and there is so much good to accomplish in Washington that he would like to serve in the Senate, He is torn between the two in mind. l William Warner, the Missouri acci- dent, is the only one of the new sena- tors who served in the civil war. He does not give hisyage in his biography, but was practicing law out in Kansas | City before Brandegee, Burkett, or even President Roosevelt was born. Hence we could assume that he has reached years of discretion, even if his ,record did not demonstrate the fact. The old soldier is vanishing from public | life In looking through the congress sional biographies nowadays you find very little reference to the Civil War
