Those alarmed about the future of
the Mississippi river because its head

forests find little comfort in the re-
ports of United States government en-
Sineers which caused the expenditure
of more than a million dollars for five
reservoir dams. In the report of Colo

reservoirs: without the addition of
stored waters from the reservoir sys-
TEN the river at st. Paul is liable to
fall to stage of % foot, as happened
in July and August, 1894. or to zero,
as happened in April, 1896, whereas,
with judicious and economical use of
the reservoir waters it is quite practic-
able to keep the gauge at st. Paul
from ever falling below three feet.

NO LINCOLN ADDRESS IN ROCK ISLAND
Major c. Connolly Gives "reminiscences
Eman O

An Argus reporter dropped in to see
Major H. c. Connolly and called his
attention to the interesting discussion
in The Argus while he was away from
home some weeks ago on the question:
Did Mr.. Lincoln make a speech in
Rock Island in 1856, in 1858, or in
1869?
Major Connolly said he felt posi-
tive that citizens who supposed they
heard Mr.. Lincoln's speech here con-
founded him with Senator Douglas. I'm
til record evidence is produced prov
ing the fact he would continue to think
Mr.. Lincoln was not here at the time
mentioned above. In 1856 Mr.. Lincoln
was an elector. The republican state
central committee announced so ap.
pointments in this state for speeches.
i think the county committee of
Rock Island county made an effort
TO have Mr.. Lincoln speak here but
failed Major Connolly said. "As the
campaign advanced, the demand for
Mr. Lincoln outside the state was
pressing, to which he responded in
some instances"

Consul General Samuel l.. Taylor of

a contract awarded for the control of
outdoor advertising in the capital of
Peru. He says:
THE municipality of Lima regulates
all outdoor advertising within the city

all classes of advertisements, by max
ing il unlawful to fix any advertise
ment or advertising matter on the
walls of houses, carts, moving vehi-
Giles of any kind, or any structure ex-
cept that placed on the municipal bill
boards.
while the city owns and controls
the billbOards, it has found it more adj
vantageous to sell the exclusive right
to some advertising firm. A certain
fixed amount is paid by this firm each
month for the exclusive privilege, the
contract running three years, and all
advertising must be done through this
firm. The tariff fixed by the city
makes a price of about 80 cents per
month for advertisements So by 2C

a Lesson i'm Patriotism.

The civilized and enlightened people
of the United States are, as rule,
inclined to look upon the Koreans as
benighted and to an extent uncivilized.
Perhaps they are in measure untu-
tored in the ways of the world, and
have peculiarities that do not fit them
for civilized society. But that they
are patriotic and far-seeing in their
devotion to their country is shown by
the purpose of party of Koreans,
said to be members of the former no
bility, who have arrived in this coun.
try and are now located in Springfield
Mass.
These Koreans. it is stated, have
come to this country to remain nine
years, to study civilization for the pur
pose of going back and enlightening
their own people so that they may
some day throw off the yoke of Japan
This is certainly an inspiring lesson "
patriotism and ambition and if this
