SOME PLAIN FACTS
Given by Speakers of Citizens
Nonpartisan Association at
First Ward Meeting.
SEVERAL MAKE ADDRESSES
Tell of DeplorabIe Conditions Forced
on Rock Island by Present AID
ministration.

There was not Il large attendance at
the opening ward meeting of the Citi-
2cns Nonpartisan association held at
GOO Seventh avenue last evening.
Those who turned out, however, were
given something to ponder over. Scv-
cral of the candidates spoke briefly
presenting the issues as they saw them
and asking support for the ticket at
the polls. There was no abuse indul%-
ed in, though facts were plainly
spoken.
Charles G. Apple, candidate for aid
erman in the First ward, presided.
The speakers were Henry Stclck, can
didatc for city attorney; James MCNa-
mara, candidate for mayor: W. II. La
mont, candidate for city clerk; &. o.
Huckstaedt. candidate for city treas
urcr. and J. W. Parker. Each i'll sim
pie language and without any flourish
es presented arguments upon which
the citizens movement is based.
Some of the points made, bearins
upon the situation Rock Island is
placed in by the manner in which it
has been governed for several years
past, should be repeated. though it is
humiliating to any loyal citizen TO be
compelled. even purely as means OF
remedying matters, to confess that
such things exist.
Mr.. ucNamarn'S ideas.
Mr.. Mcnamara referred to the BUSH
ness stagnation that is temporarily he
ing experienced, and asserted il is due
to a lack of confidence. He referred
to the case of a resident of the city
who owns a cottage and who some
months ago was offered $1,000 for it.
Now he is trying 10 dispose of il for
$500. Not for years, Mr.. Mcnamara
said, have there been so many empty
houses in the city.
These conditions, he asserted, exist
because demaGoEucs have appealed for
personal political purposes to popular
prCjudiCes, thereby gaining a little
temporary advantage. Men and cor
porations who have capital to invest
and who are drawn TO Rock Island by
natural surroundings and unrivalcd fac
tory sites and shipping facilities. come
here, feel the public pulse. note the
conditions, and decide that they dc
not care to place themselves and theiI
capital in position TO be exploited by
petty politicians or INSCRIPTIONS graft
crs, and they invest elsewhere. Foo
this reason. and because of the tickle
ness and uncertainty of the present
administration. which renders propert,
and institutions liable to be attacked
night or day with or without pretens,
of lawful grounds, Rock Island is grow
ing stagnant.
People Take Government.
Such a state of affairs will prevail
till the people take the government
into their own hands and place san,
and sensible men at the head of it
Every voter should realize that no cit,
can meet the keen competition of 9th

plOys labor will just as surely injur
the man who is employed.

\ Mere Hollow Sound.

The present administration remind
ed the speaker of mere hollow sound.
1t exists first of all, for its own per
petuation. A police force, better as an
institution for preserving the peace
and ferreting out those who commit
crime and less conspicuous as a politi.
cal machine is what Rock Island needs
and this may be said Of some other de
partments of the city government. Mr.
Parker appealed to his hearers to thinl;
before casting their votes and then
follow their own Judgment not the die
tatiOn of someone else.

only common business sagacity. and.
above all. honesty and willingness
to respond to the call Of duty. In
their choice of a mayor the people
should merely assure themselves that
The man they elect possesses these
qualifications. He should be able 10

know when the citys account is in
danger Of being overdrawn, and he
should be of d sort to care when that
account is oycrdrawn. II matters not
what political party he may belong to
so long as he fullills these conditions.
The candidate who resorts to abuse is
not worthy of the support of the voters
for anything.

through which an 80-acre tract OF
land on Lightner creek passes from

chased the property several years
ago in the ordinary course OF specu-
lation and has rented 1t to different
persons who have farmed and gar
dened 1t since that time.
1t is the old Deasy tract, located
by the old-time prospector Deasy,
who spent his life looking for plati-
mum almost regardless of finding any
other precious metal.
Mr. Sategna has been looking for
piece Of land close In for a year
so he could put his family out where
his little boy mig have better
health. He win take possession OF
his new home as soon as w. J. O'Bri-
en-. who purchased the nearby tract

GUS little country house on the Sateg-
ma place. The ground will be pre-
pared for more successful gardening
and every available acre will be made
to produce. Experienced gardeners

be handled for profit. Mr. Sategna
expects to be as early and as late in
the market as any of his competi-
tors. AS soon as he can arrange his
business AFFAIRS to suit he will give
his undivided attention to the new
enterprise.

WORK wEAkENs THE KIDNEYS.
poan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
In Durango.

Most Durango people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious heusework; lifting,
reaching or pulling. or trying the back
in hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filterinR the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs. Durango cures
prove 1t.

DEATH OF w. II. ROBERTS.


William Henry Roberts was born
July 81, 1885. in Madison county, O.,
and passed away at his home in Ami
mas City at 1915 last night.
Shortly after the Civil war Mr..
Roberts came to Missouri and was
married to Mrs. Susan ]. Eddins, nee
Avery. He moved to Durango, Colo.
In 1889, and has made this his home
most of the time since. residing in
Animas City for the past three years.
He leaves three brothers, John M,
Charles and B. F. Roberts, and one
sister, Mrs. Estelle Wilson, all living
in Ohio; also two step daughters,
Mrs. r. e. Faris of Durango. and Mrs.
r. o. Smith of Clinton, Mo. One
daughter, Mrs. F. Conner. died In Du-
range in June, 1897. Another daugh-
ter. Miss Pearl Roberts, and the
widow. Mrs. Susan J. Roberts, to-
gether with the two children of Mrs,
f. Conner, remain in the home TO
mourn him.
Mr.. Roberts was a charter member
OF the |. o. o. F. lodge at Clinton.
Mo. which he helped to organize at
the close of the war.
He has been a member of the town
board of Animas City the past two
years.
Mr.. Roberts health has been fall
ing for some time. Nearly two weeks
ago he was seized with an attack of
pleurisy, which with complications
baiiied the skill of physician and the
most careful nursing. For several
days the inevitable has faced the
dear ones at his bedside, but this
does not lessen the pain of their loss.
In their home is vacant chair hal
lowed by memories of him. In their
lives is void that can never be
filled on earth, but may the sympathy
of those who sorrow with them help
them to be reconciled to this sad
change, and may the omnipresent
God reveal to them that Love and
Spirit do not die.
Funeral services from the late res
idence on Main street, Animas City
at o'clock Sunday, Jan. 20. to be
conducted by the Odd Fellows. Rev

THE GRIP.

Before we can sympathize with
others we must have suffered QUE
selves. No one can realize the suffer
ing attendant upon an attack of the
grip. unless he has had the actual
experience. There Is probably no
disease that causes SO much physical
and mental agony. or which so sue
cessfully and defies medical aid. All
danger from the grip. however. may
be avoided by the prompt use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy. not one case has been
reported that has resulted in pneu-
monia or that has not recovered. For
sale by all dealers.

DANGERS OF A COLD AND HOW
TO AVOID Them.

More fatalities have their origin in
other cause. This fact alone should
make people more careful, as there ls
no danger whatever from cold
when 1t is properly treated in the b..
ginning. For many years Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has been recog-
nized as the most prompt and effect
ual medicine in use for this disease.
1t acts on natures plan, loosens the
cough relieves the lungs, opens the
secretions and aids nature In restor-
ing the system to healthy condition.
