When a horse is so overworked it
lies down and in other ways declares
inability to go further, you would con-
slider it criminal to use force. Many
a man of humane impulses, who would
not willingly harm a kitten, is guilty
of cruelty where his own stomach is
concerned. Overdriven, overworked.
when what it needs is something that
will digest the food eaten and help the
stomach to recaperate. Something like
Kodol for Dyspepsia that is sold by all
druggists.

WANT CONVENTION
City Council on Record for Mex.
River improvement
Meeting.
ARRANGE FOR DELEGATION
Also Authorize Mayor to Name Repre-
sentatives for st. Louis Meeting
will Decorate Square.

| Rock Island will ask that the next
{ convention of the Upper Mississippi
| River Improvement association, which
| convenes next week at Minneapolis,
hold the 1907 meeting in Rock Island.
At the city council meeting last even
ing, the council authorized the mayor
to appoint 10 delegates to represent
the city. officially ana invited the Rock
Island club and Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION to name like delegations to
the convention. Following this action,
Alderman Robbins introduced a resolu-
ton, which was passed unanimously
and with enthusiasm, instructing the
delegates from this city to use all hon
Orable means to secure the 1907 con-
vention of the association.
Reasons for Selection.
1t was pointed out that last year
the cities on the lower part of the river
clamored for this years convention,
but as that convention was held at La
Crosse, it was decided that the assOcia-
ton should meet at Minneapolis this
year, and then hold next years meet
ing at some point farther down the
river. The selection of Rock Island as
the convention city would be most APP
propriate. for it is here that the office
of the corps of engineers which super
intends the river work, is located. AT
no other point on the upper river IS
the expenditure of SO much money for
river work conducted.
The delegation from this city will be
prepared to do earnest work to secure
the convention, and will probably have
the assistance of the delegations from
Davenport and Moline as both of those
cities are as much interested i'll secur-
ing the convention for this point as is
Rock Island.
Conventions Occupy Attention.
The session of the council last even
ing was brief one. owing to the fact
that City Clerk Schaffer has not fully
recovered from his illness of last week. |
The most important business of the
meeting had to do with conventions.
The mayor presented communication
from the St Louis Business Mems |
league. asking that the city name 10
delegates to represent Rock Island at
the deep waterways convention III that
city Nov. - and 16 and the council in
structed the mayor to name such Il |
delegation. The city voted to become |
a member of the Mayors Association
of Illinois, recently organized here, and |
instructed the clerk to remit the dues
of the city to this association and also
the dues to the Upper Mississippi Riv-
er Improvement association.
City to Help Decorate.
Just before the close of the meeting. |
the council appropriated $3.50 from the |
contingent fund, to be turned over to |
the committee on decorations for the |
Farmers National Congress, to be used |
in the decoration of Market square. |
John w Parker chairman of that COM |
mittee, was present and explained the |
plan for the work, and on
behalf of the organization represented |
by the committee asked the council TO
make the appropriation.

Two Ladies in Buggy Fortunately Es-
cape Without Injury.

A runaway occurred this afternoon
about 2 o'clock which looked for
time as though it would result in
very serious accident. A horse started
near Seventh street and ran on Third
avenue to Twentieth street where it
turned south and continued its run
until it was stopped between Fifth and
Sixth avenues. There were two ladies
in the buggy, but fortunately they es-
capped injury.

ESCHEW POLITICS

The Farmers Union should leave politics alone. We as free Ameri- can citizens and not as union men should leave damnable politicians alone. Stop electing men to office who are office seekers. If you know John Smith is not seeking office, and you have good reason to believe he is honest, elect him, We dc not need men who are seeking office but we need men who will serve us if we take them up and make them do so. As a rule a man who is seeking office is see1ingan opportunity to feather his nest and he generally feathers 1t well. Let the Farmers Union leave this political business en. tirely alone.

cAMEoS DIFFICULT TO CUT
Agates from Which They Are Carved Are Exceedingly
 Hard.

Cameos are cut from the stones onyx and sardonyx, which are said to be so plentiful on the Uruguay river in Brazil that ships often carry them away as ballast. Nevertheless, perfect pieces of large size are costly. A piece suitable for a large portal costs about $75. This stone is preferred for cameos because of it's hardness and durability and is suitable for such work owing to the fact that it comes in lay CTS of contrasting colors as black and white, black and cream, or red and white! When the cut figure is sunk into the stone instead of being raised the cutting is called an intaglio. The cost of these gems is due to the time and skill required in the work. Formerly a small gem might occupy an artist for a year or more, but with modern appliances the work can be done more rapidly. Still the ancient work bears the palm for artistic excellence. The cutting is now done by holding the stone against a revolving drill, whose soft steel face is covered with diamond dust. No steel is hard enough to cut the stone. The ut- most patience and caution and delicate handling are required, as the slightest slip may spoil the work.

PREACHERS AND RELIGIOUS STATS
James Marlin Says Church De- nominations Should Learn
 to be Less Dogmatic
To The Newark J0urnal:

To The Newark J0urnal
 It is we'll that you have deter mined to have an end of religious spats" in your columns, but you need not therefore have an end of religion. Your best citizens are those who recognize and admit their responsibility to God. 1t has been said that Christian is the highest type of man" This is true, but even the highest type of man is not always at his best. Christians are not at their best when they are quarreling with each other.
 What all the denominations need to learn is to be less dogmatic. They need to admit their own fal- libility. Baptist, Methodist, Pres byterian and Campbellite need to learn that truth Is not confined to any one of them. The man who does not understand the Bible as l do may be as good Chris tian as l am A man may be just as honest and just as intelligent as l am and still may not agree with me about all questions. When ever the church people come to recognize this principle they will quit spatting.o ,
 Nor, need a man necessarily belong" to any denomination in order to be Christian. In every nation, in every church and out side of all churches. the man that fears God and works righteous ness IS accepted in His sight. :" Whoever recognizes and admits his responsibility to God and goes straight forward doing right be- cause it IS right Is ipso facto a Christian. He is Christ's man, because he is doing Christ's will, whether he belongs to this denomi- nation or to that, or if he does not belong to any.
 The Presbyterian believes, and honestly and intelligently believes, that sprinkling is the proper mode and the children of believers the proper subjects of baptism. The Baptist believes honestly and in-
The Newark journal., 1906-07-27

telligently that immersion is the proper mode and believers the proper subjects It is the right, nay, it is the duty, of each to be governed by his own conscience. But the man who asks liberty to follow his own conscience ought to respect his neighbor's conscience.
 Christianity has never yet done its perfect work. Paul and Peter had ''spat," even though they were apostles of the Lord. We need not, therefore, be surprised to find Methodist and Baptist preachers having "spats.' , They are no better than Paul and Peter. No man or his pard" need change their mind about confessing Christ just because a couple of preachers have ''spat. , Christianity is a whole lot bigger thing than any preacher or any church. It is bigger than all preachers and all churches. It is the power of God unto salvation. When it has done its perfect work, man, not just some men, but man, the race, will have been saved from selfishness and bigotry and intolera n e When that day comes there will be no more "spats. ;

 While hunting in the woods near his home at Manson, Charles Ray, aged Is years, was shot and fatally wounded by another boy, named Burns. The boys sat down on a log to rest while the dogs were trailing, and few minutes later young Burns got up to walk away, whenn his gun was dis charged, the load taking effect in Rays right leg, about four inches below the hip, almost tearing the limb away. About four inches of of the bone was shot out and the flesh mangled in a horrible man. ner. The limb was amputated but the boy died in a short time.
