Annexation of Cuba.

1t is claimed that the real motive
for the uprising in Cuba is TO practi-
cally force the United States to annex
the island. In fact, many large bus
mess interests in both countries would
strongly favor such a course The
best course for any man or woman to
pursue who is afflicted with a bad
stomach or inactive liver is to COM
mence taking Hostetter's Stomach Bit

best medicine before the public for
curing dyspepsia. indigestion, costive-
ness, poor appetite, belching, fiatulen-
cy, heartburn, sleeplessness, bilious
ness, female ills or malarial fever.

yond all doubt. You really ought to

The Farmers National Congress.

no less than the spirit of hospitality
always on such occasions prompts the
best the citizens may do individually
and collectively to make their guests
feel the warmth of the welcome that is
extended them. The Argus has in form

given the convention that is now hold
given the organization that is now hold
ing its annual convention within the
gates of the city.
1t is with a peculiar sense of graft
fication and joy that Rock Island
greets the representative national gath
ering of farmers. Near to the heart of
the American citizen is his feeling for
the man who works near to Natures
heart.
The farmer is the man of all others
who is naturally referred to as hon
est, a man of strict integrity and
square dealing So he is. He knows
no other law and he does not want to-
He is by birth and instinct and train
ing and experience one of earth'S no.
blemen. 1t is upon his toll and hon
esty of purpose that the prosperity of
the people and of the nation depends.
He has never failed in those patriotic
impulses born of love of home. His
home is his castle. There in the farm
er's abode the simple life is lived and
practiced and its doors always swing
open in happy, generous hearted hos
pitality of the genuine sort, such as
cannot be equaled by form or cere-
mony. The farmer is the bulwark of
the nation. He is the home maker and
the home saver.

There is no other such frisky animal
as n midshipman in the navy-that is,

lures, riding the waves with white
wings like a bird, to a machine shop

middies, but fifty years ago, when the
United States frigate Honeybee sailed
into Havana harbor, she had as roll

Bob Merrett and Ned Perry, both
midshipmen. could get into more mis-
chief in one day ashore than the rest
of the officers would meet in month.
No sooner had the Honeybee dropped
her anchor than both lads applied for
leave to go ashore.

"but remember that these Spaniards
are hot, jealous lot, and if you're not
careful you'll be brought back with a
machete sticking in you
The injunction was unheeded. The
middies went into Havana, hired a
vehicle for n drive and, passing the
plantation of Don Antonio CORDOBA,
espied Donna ISABEL CORDOBA, his
daughter, aged fifteen. playing under
the palms at some distance from the
house
Now, what followed would have
stricken the girls parents with horror.
They considered ISABEL a child, for
getting that in the tropics girls expand
like the foliage. The young rascals
called to Donna ISABEL to ask the road,
chatted with her in bad Spanish and
asked her to drive. She cast fright
ened glance in the direction of the
house, climbed the wall, and, taking
seat between the two middies, away
they went as fast as the bony, half
starved horse could take them. Either
officer made good chaperon, so there
was really no harm in the escapade
except a violation Of custom.
The ride finished, the girl was drop

up, and. during the stay of the Honey
bee in the port of Havana. Bob Merrett
made frequent visits to the palm wood,

saw her again, when his ship touched
at Havana and he went to the Cardoza
plantation with a proposition for the
girls hand. He was Informed that If
he showed his face there again he
would find a resting place in a neigh

Bob went back to the ship and told
his sorrow to his friend Perry. The
result of the interview was that Perry

The Latest Grating Scheme.

There are so many moneymaking
schemes that come so near the line
denominated as graft" without OBJ
yiously crossing it, that it would seem
that some other standard than mere
condemnation by public opinion should
be adopted for testing the essential
morality of such practices. The use of
personal influence for a consideration
especially where that influence is in
siduously employed by the teachers to
govern the college destination of young
pupils is one of the latest threats of
evil.
The New York Commercial notes a
case in which the president of a col
lege offers a bonus of $50 to school
principals for each pupil whom they
may induce to enter his institution,
and in this offer he states that one gen.
tleman who took up with it, influenced
i'll the space of six weeks. some nine
students to enter his college.
OF course, the institution and its
head are likely TO get much free adj
vertising from this graft scheme. But
what about the doubling parents who
have taken the teachers advice as to
the college destination of their sons
and daughters? What, too, about the
lowered status of all colleges of it's
class by these practices of one?

John F. Stevens, chief engineer of
the Panama canal. is a man to have
his own way, but tells of one occasion
when he was compelled to dance TO an
others music Years ago he was sit
ting one day on the counter in a west
ern grocery store when a cowboy came
in and, taking him for a clerk. said:
Gimme some raisinsi" There had
just been a couple of impromptu hang
ings in the next town and looking up
without moving the young engineer
asked: do you want the same kind
of raisins they had over yonder?"
The next instant he was looking into
the muzzle of the cowboys shooter.
He says that it was as big as a can
non. and without waiting to argue or
explain he slid off that counter and
hustled for rasins. The cowboy fol
lowed him around, gun in hand, until
the proprietor came in and begged the
plainsman not TO "spatter up the
place" Then Stevens apologized and
all was well.

steal away the girl and take her to Il
village the two middies had passed
through on their way TO the planta-
ton. There her lover was to meet and
marry her. There We're several de-
fects in the plan, not the least of which
was the fact that they agreed to q
rendezvous in a little square in the
center of the village, rather a public
place for such a meeting.
The next day, both middies having
obtained shore leave. Ned went on
ahead, agreeing to have the girl at the
trysting place. though the hour must
necessarily. be indefinite. Bob waited
impatientIy in Havana till he could
wait no longer, then went to the vii
lage and took a seat in the public
square.
After waiting an hour it occurred to
him that possibly if Ned had been sue
cessful in getting the girl they might
not find it quite safe to rendezvous in
so conspicuous n place. They might
be hiding in some of the houses.
Knocking at several Of the doors,
he asked those within if they had seen
a young couple. No one had seen
young couple. Along came a hawker
of toys. Bob thrust his hand into the
mans basket, drew out a tin horn
and blew the dinner call with mighty
blast. Up went window sash on the
opposite side of the street, and Ned
Perry's head was thrust out.
II thought that would bring you,"
said Bob. ''What luck?'
Come over here and I'll tell you"
Bob crossed the street and was adj
mitted to the house. Inside were n
Spanish woman and n black eyed
maiden just budding into womanhood.
But she was not Donna ISABEL. Bob
looked at her disappointed, then at his
friend for an explanation.
1--WE good news for you," said Ned.
Donna ISABEL was frantic at your re-
pulse and told her father she would
kill herself. So he has consented to
look up your credentials and If you're
all right he'll consent"
That's good news, sure enough"
said Bob, "but what are you doing
here?"
Ned frowned at his friend, glancing
at the same time at the others; then,
bidding them good afternoon, the mid
dies left the house

$4S, s75, 900 the railroads get from the
postoffice this year.
This 1875, 900 is the interest on
S1.S75, 100000 at per cent! There is
a rich argument for government own
ership in these figures.
The government increased the pay
of the railroad for carrying the mail
81 ,0OO. 900 more than it paid last year
for this service.
