A Lofty Triumph.-The wonderful re-
suits obtained from moving pictures by
Lyman H. Howe, whose famous eXAi-
oiticn will be seen at the Illinois the
atre on Thursday, Jan. 4, is a monu-
nont to the triumph of steadfast per
severance, and symbolic at once of
The American spirit of invention and
progression. 1t is apparent that never
before has there been such widespread
and intense interest in Mr. HoUe's re-
narkable exhibition. The whole pub
lie has grown to look upon it with adj
niration If it were merely another
moving picture exhibition, it certain
" would never have attained the rank
it has. But Mr.. Howe's achievements
n the domain of moving pictures bear
1 loftier stamp; so lofty that while
multitude of imitators strain for the
same unique exhibition, they have so
far utterly failed to attain the preemi-
nence won by Lyman H. Howe. And
on it's sheer merits. this exhibition
stands alone today as it always has.
Almonst every sphere of human actiy
ity and every country that ran41s in civ
lzation can point with exult alton to
some eminent inventor, and Il. the do
main of moving pictures that is unap-
preached. If the Lyman II. Howe ex-
hibition were to suddenly discontinue,
it's fame as one of the most imposing
md successful exhibitions ever offered
the public would survive it for many
years. For its distinction cannot be
denied

Holland is now lining up his staff OF

tire new force for next year and wild
not call upon any of the former mem
bers. if possible, excepting III the case
Of Cusack The latter has been trying
to land a berth in the New York state
league under President j. II. Farrell,
but if he fails he will likely return to
the Three-Eye. President Holland has
nothing personally against William
Milan. Charles Weston or any of the
others who composed the staff during
the season recently closed, but owing
10 the dissatisfaction against Milan in
Decatur and Rock Island and objec-
tons TO other members he thought 1t
best for all concerned to get together
an entire new force of umpires for the
coming season if possible.
Cusack.s Bulk Inspires Respect.
Stephen Cusack is q Chicagoan and
was with the Western league for sever
al seasons as umpire before joining the
Three-Eye. He has the advantage over
the ordinary umpire as heavy ply

"A Reliable Medicine.
An Opinion That Should be of Interest
to Every Person in Rock Island.

to Every Person in Rock Island.
So many patent medicines and ad-
vertised cures are now offered to the
public that our readers should be glad
to know the opinion of a man who has
spent years in hanIling them and
profit by his advice.
Our local druggists, H. o. Rolls,
says: After having sold drugs, and
all kinds and makes of medicines for
SO many years, naturally we have
learned something about them-their
value and power to cure, and we want
to say to the readers of The Argus
that if the people of Rock Island only
realized the real curative and strength
creating power of our cod liver oil
preparation, Vinol, we would not have
clerks enough in our store to fill the
demand for it,"
Continued Mr. Rolls: you see, vi
mol is not a patent medicine, and it
actually contains all the life-giving,
bodybuilding, and strengthening
properties of cod liver oil actually TAX
en- from fresh Gods livers, but without
a drop of the system-clogging, nauseat-
ing oil. Vinol makes rich, red blood,
and tones up and invigorates every or
gan in the body.
'In the strongest manner we unhes-
itatingly endorse and guarantee Vinol
to increase the appetite, cure stomach
troubles, give strength and renewed
vitality to the aged, build up puny chill
dren and rundown persons, make the
weak strong, cure chronic coughs,
colds and bronchitis or refund to the
purchaser every dollar paid for it.
This shows our faith in Vinol, and
We can only ask the people of Rock
Island to try Vinol on our guarantee.

longest record for continuous perform

been made, the one under the manage

most notable and probably the most
elaborate. The Tompkins production
was first seen in Boston, thence COM

York, opening there September 5, 1892,
and closing May 20, 1898, totalling SOC
performances. The Kiralfy Brothers

being heard from his work in Iowa.
The games which aroused criticism
were played in the heat of the cham
pionship race, and the losing club
thought it necessary to accuse the UNI
pire CT partially. This has long since
been forgotten and Cusack will prob
ably be welcomed back 10 the staff by
the very cities that abused hiEl in the

turn, but he has promised the Three

MissOurian il FavOritc.
Krieg has successful business at
Chillicothe and is not particular wheth-
er he leaves it or not. He will likely
be kept in reserve, therefore, and be
called upon when any regular member
of the staff is injured or taken sick.
Charles Chic, who umpired in the
Western association during the season
recently finished, wants a berth in the
Three Eye and his letters of recon-
mendation are worthy of favorable at
tention. He is a st. Louisan and has
had long experience as ball player
and umpire He was with the South
ern league in 1901 and was a member
of the Springfield H.. Three Eye team.
His application will be considered
among others.
President Holland will not make q
permanent selection of his staff of UNI
pires until shortly before the season
of 1906 opens, as he wishes to get to-
gether the very best men obtainable.
If the Three Eye league could afford to
pay the umpires $500 per month the
standard could be appreciably raised.
At present the umpires are allowed
$3.50 per month and their travelling eX-
penses while on the road. This is
about the sum allowed in most of the
minor leagues, although few pay
$175 to $3.50. A movement has been
on foot for several years 10 pay tbs
umpires a greater sum, but the oppo-
sition has always been strong enough
20 prevent any raise in the scale. and
no better luck is anticipated by the
umpires at the coming annual meeting
