elections, after being beaten in the
conventions by the manipulations of
the bosses, the people placed another
ticket in the field, but they found
that when 1t was launched the cleo
ton was at hand-themselv unor-
ganized for the battle, and the bos-
SEES thoroughly organized, and the re-
suit was the defeat of their ticket,
and the election of that of the bosses,
and this is a condition of affairs that
the people are determined to evade
this time, and to do so they propose
to nominate their candidates by pc
tltion, and then elect them at the
polls.

Secret Dies with Man.

The powder manufactured was pc
culiar In composition and was be-
coming popular among local users on
account of the absence OF smoke and
poisonous gases, enabling miners to
re-enter tunnels in one-fourth the

old style powder was used, The COM
position of this powder is said to
have been known to no other person
than skalberg. who was an expert

secret dying with him may put an end

A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer in Rock Island.


Many a Sufferer in Rock Island.
No woman can be healthy and well
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off in the secretions when the
kidneys are well, are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become infiamed
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness,
backache, sideache, etc. Uric poison
ing also causes headaches, dizzy
spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. Yoy will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are well.
Let a Rock Island woman tell you
about Doan's Kidneys Pills.
Mrs. A. w. Boughton, Sears, Ill,
says: II was in poor health for some
time and I now believe that all my
trouble was caused by weak kidneys.
My back ached a great deal and
there were dull, bearing-down pains
across my loins. / also had dizzy
spells and headaches. Doan's Kid
ney Pills were highly recommended
and deciding to try them, obtained
a box at the Harper House phar-
macy. They completely removed the
backache and / am now well. Doan's
Kidney Pills deserve the entire credit
for my cure"

Must start Year Right.-That the po-
lice court Is not alone a medium for
the dispensation of justice, but that 1t
can take it's place as matrimonial
agency to a certain degree, was mani
tested yesterday when William Lund-
sey and Marie Stalk were given or
ders by Justice Roddewig to smooth
over their difficulties and resume their
old status of affections or both face
Jail sentence. The two concerned in
the case are both young German peo-
pie and for the past year the girl has
been engaged to the young man. Ac.
oording to Mr.. Lundsey's story he be-
came engaged to her the second time
he met her, and since that time, in
view of their future marriage, he had
been in the habit of giving her a por-
ton of his weekly wages to save for
their wedding. 1t seems that the in
tended bride did not consider the be-
stowal of the money in quite the right
light and appropriated some or the
most Of it to her own use. The break
in the condition of affairs that resulted
in her arrest at the behest of her lover,
came few days ago when she began
going too frequently with other fell
lows. Taking this move as a sort of
silent cancellation of their engage
ment, the prospective husband had the
young woman arrested and asked for
the return of his money. However, in
police court, neither seemed to harbor
any hatred for each other. and as
smiles were only in evidence when
they spoke of each other. Justice Rod
dewig perceived what will probably be
the correct solution OF what was assum-
ing a portentious mien.
