Silver for Coinaue.

News of more than passing impor-
lance is contained in a recent dispatch
announcing that the United States gov
eminent is to become purchaser Of
silver. 1t is estimated that one hun
dred thousand ounces will be required
each week. The fact that HoStetters
Stomach Bitters is a positive cure for
ailments of the stomach, liver. kidneys
and bowels is news of great impor-
lance to every sick man and woman
Is the appetite poor, sleep restless or
bowels constipated? Then don't fail
to try the Bitters at once. II also cures
dyspepsia, indigestion, nausea, head
ache, biliousness, female ills, belching,
fatulency or malaria Always keep a
bottle handy during the winter months
as a preventive of chills and colds.
Get it today, also ask your druggist
for free copy of our 1907 Almanac.
1t is well worth having.
E. c. Dewitt & Co. of Chicago, at

sure us that this remarkable digestant
and corrective for the stomach con-
forms fully to all the provisions of the
national pure food and drug law. The
Kodol laboratory is a very large one, ;.
but if all the sufferers from indigestion
and stomach troubles could know the
virtues of Kodol it would be impossible
for the manufacturers to keep up with
the demand. Kodol is sold here by all

MOLINE

Close Call for Baggaeeman.-Anoth-
er of those narrow escapes from bad
accident happened at the Rock Island
depot at noon yesterday. Passenger
train No % from the east was at the
depot and passengers were all out. The
baggageman was caring for the bag
gage when No. 42-the eastbound
Rocky Mountain limited-came in at the
usual speed from the west, running
between the other train and the depot;
the baggageman jumped before it, but
did not get away his truck which was
hit just as the train stopped. No one
was hurt, but the spectators came
near having heart failure as they wit
messed the narrow escape.
No Change in Box Rates.-There will
at the Moline postoffice. A recent or
der of the postoffice department pro-
vided for uniform rates and general
increase for the purpose of getting
larger revenue The explanation of the
new announcement is that notice has
been received from the department at
Washington to the effect that the order
for uniformity and change of rates for
letter boxes was not intended to apply
to offices where rates had already been
established, but only to those where a
new schedule is going into effect. Post
master Eastman says there will be no
changes until the new postoffice build
ing is erected and occupied.
Keep Price of Shave Down.-Some
time ago a movement was started for
raising the price of shaves from 10 to
Is cents and at the meeting of the

the proposition was lost by two votes.
To make the change it was necessary
to secure a two-thirds majority of the
members present but the vote was %

under cover until such time that it was
found impossible to amend the Hillery
law to the satisfaction Of all the dissatis-
fed municipalities. Then they intended
to offer it as a last resort, but Mr. Mar
tin interferred with their plans.
During a recess of the House yester-
day the Judiciary Committee held a
meeting during which Mr.. Martin urged
the majority to report his repeater for
the Hillery law. Leader Perkins said
the majority did not want to do that as
they wished to obtain more information
on the subject from the State Board of
Assessors. Mr.. Martin replied by saying
that any information the State Board of
Assessors could give would not throw
any more light upon the subject than the
committee already had, and upon his IN
sistment that his repeating bill be favor
ably reported, vote was taken and Mr..
Martin was the only member who voted
for it.
Mr.. Perkins then allowed the cat out

ator Hillery and himself had drafted d
substitute measure for the HiIlery law
which they intended to introduce. The

the result.

TRENTON, Feb. s. 1906. Senator
EIiElery. leader Of the administration
forces in the Senate. stole another march
on the Colbyites yesterday by introduc-
ing a bill providing for a popular express
sion of choice for United States Senator.
This was one of the measures which the
Colbyites advocated during the campaign
in Essex County last November, and to
fulfill such pledge Asselnblyman Martin
recently introduced a bill providing a
method by which the electors could ex
press their preference for United States
Senator. 1t was referred to the Conn
mittee on Elections, Of which Assembly,
man Scott. of Hudson, is chairman, but
no effort was made to advance it.
Senator Hillery's bill provides that in
the year next preceding the election of
United States Senator petition, sign
ed by 100 voters of county, verified by
the oaths Of the signers, shall be filed
with the county clerk, naming man as
the choice for the candidacy for United
States Senator. Ten days before the pri-
mary election the county clerk shall GER
hfy the names Of all the candidates thus
named to the municipal clerks. who shall
cause them to be printed on the official
ballots in Alphabetical order under the
head: Favored for United States Sen
ator,'
Five days after the primaries the mu-
nicipal clerk shall certify the result Of
the primaries on this question to the
county clerk. who shall tabulate the vote
and send to each member of the Legis-
lature the result of the vote in his coun-
ty.
Senator Hillery believes that this is
the only system by which the legislators
can ascertain the popular choice for
United States Senator. The legislators
are not bound to vote for the popular
choice, Dat it is not thought tIat they
would refuse to vote for a candidate who
was selected by an overwhelming major
ity. This method of selecting candidates
for .. s. Senator. Mr.. Hiilery believes.
win prove more popular than amy other
suggested. 1t is applicable to both par
ties and both may take advantage of it
at the same time.

Effort Is Now On Foot to
Organize the Wives and
Sweethearts Of Trades IN
ion Members
AUXILIARY TO Be FORMED
THE OBJECT rs TO TRAIN WOMEN
TO BUY GOODS WITH THE
PROPER LABELS AND IN SUCH
A WAY AS TO HELP THE LABOR
CAUSE.

An effort is on foet to organize the
wives, mothers and sweethearts of Union
men into an auxiliary organization. with
the object of having them taught alh the
various labels; Of the various union or
CARNATIONS and the Importance of buy
ing for household use in such manner
as will prove most advantageous to or
ganized labor The wives or mothers of
organized labor men are generally re-
garded as the natural dispensers of the
organized labor mans wages. and it is
deemed of great Importance that only
such goods as bear the real union labor
label shall be purchased by such buyers
There are many limitations of some of
these labels. however, and one of the
objects of the organization of women's
auxiliary branches is to teach them
unitedly the difference between the gem
uine and the spurious labels.
A committee consisting of Cornelius
Ford. President of the Central Labor
Union of Hudson County. and of the
State Federation of Labor; Thomas
| Quinn Joseph O'Love and Edward Fitz-
simmons. has been appointed to arrange
for such a county organization. The
date for such organization has not yet
been set. Already the committee has
been assured of at least 100 wives,
mothers and sweethearts of union men
who will be present at the inauguration
of the proposed women's auxiliary. The
organization is expected to grow rapidly
as it is anticipated that no wife, mother
or sweetheart of union labor man will
refuse to become a member. Organized
labor is strong in Hudson, the United
Building Trades Council alone controlling
unions whose united membership is some
where in the neighborhoodf of 10000
Such an organization when we'll under
way will have far reaching effect upon
merchants who handle goods not bearing
the union label. and will of necessity.
in great measure, do away with bar
gain counter rushes. The idea has the
approval of every organized labor man in
the county.

Of a woman is appointed to the position
of Assistant Matron of the Women's
Prison. Why should it bother with such
matters when there are more important
ones to engage its attention? Suppose
the Police Board did approve former

tunate women and look after the COM
fort and welfare Of boys and girls that
fall into the hands of the police? Should
the Women's Club bother themselves

the punk bell nuisance? Let the Police
Board appoint a fit or an unfit person to

must the junk dealers have their bells
restored. Better that hundred women
and children should suffer than that one
junk bel should ring.
No; the junk bells shall not ring.
