Republic. It's membership, he says. IS

The veterans of the Spanish war are
deserving of the country's gratitude,

hope to succeed the Grand Army will
never be fully realized. The Spanish
war did not last long enough to cement

DAILY STORY
HIS SECRET.


[OriginaLl
Lincoln and Oliver Lyman We're en-
ployed in the same bank Oliver was
ten years younger than his brother,
and since Lincoln had educated him
and secured his position for him Oliver
adOred him. The elder brother had
been in the employ of the bank twenty
years when he was suddenly killed in
Il railway accident. Oliver was at
once promoted to the place left vacant.
Its duties We're the keeping of an i'm
portant set of books, and the salary
was $1,000 n year. Lincoln's death
was both bereavement and 4 blessing
to Oliver, at least so it was considered,
for his promotion would enable him to
marry Grace Mackenzie, with whom
he had long been in love.
While Oliver had not said so. Grace
had understood that he loved her and
would be glad to make her his wife.
But since she had no property and
while his salary was meager he would
not breach the subject. she expected
| that as soon as he entered upon his
IeW uutlcS, Will tlelr luCEedSeu pay,
he would make her a definite PROPOSE
ton. Oliver was very busy at the
bank for some time after his brothers
death, getting the run of the books he
! was to keep, and scarcely saw Grace at
all. When he did see her, with ample
opportunity to declare himself. she was
much disappointed His manner had
changed. Whether it was the hard
work he had been doing or the increase
of his responsibilities. he seemed ten
years older. Grace rallied him upon
his alteration. hoping to get the cause,
but panied expression came to his
face. and she desisted at once.
Oliver Lyman was as efficient man
as his brother and had so good head
for banking that he was often consult

seemed to have an intuitive knowledge

Cure for Drunkenness.
Orrine Treatment is to Be Used at
Home Without Publicity or Loss
of Time from Business.

Thousands of persons who really
want TO quit the use of whisky or beer
realize that they cannot do so with
out medical help, yet they can not af-
ford the time or perhaps the money to
go to a sanitarium. Happily a new
cure for drunkenness has been discov-
cred which is to be taken at home and
costs less than the average drinker
will spend in a day for drink
In using Orrine there is absolutely
no publicity, as the remedy is sold by
the leading druggists in nearly every
city and town, or it can be sent by
mail Sure relief is positive when Or
rine is used. So uniformly successful
is this treatment that in every box is
a registered guarantee which entities

rine fails to effect a cure.
Orrine is in two forms: No /, a Sc
cret remedy, absolutely tasteless and
odorless. which can be given in food
or drink without the patients knowl-
edge: No. ., in pill form for those who
wish to be cured. The price of either
form is 81 a box. Send to the Orrine
company, Washington, ID. c., for free
booklet and consultation blank
The desire for liquor is soon destroy

"Of Mr. McCaskrin, the mayor
elect, it need hardly be said that
he owes his success to no one more
than to himself and his unique ca
reer in the field of politics. He has
already won his share of honors
for one so young in years and in
point of residence in Rock Island
as compared with either of the 9th
er candidates. And SO, while both
parties may congratulate them
selves in the death of political boss
ism, the one through its own eXer-
lions and the other through the in
strumentality of the people, both
should likewise join in extending
to Rock Islands boy mayor their
best wishes. and the hope that he
may grow in wisdom as he does in
years"
There is a twofold significance in
the reproduction now of what The Ar
gus said following the election of two
years ago. In the first place, what was
stated then of the trend of local politi-
cal thought toward nonpartisanship on
the one hand, and the determination
of machine politics to rule and
perpetuate itself on the other
hand, has been fully verified in the
present campaign. Both sides of the
question are here. The citizens non
partisan movement has come to light
The old ring is still on deck.

litical situation indicates, in the second
place, that The Argus at the outset OF
