Curing Catarrh
ACCEPT OUR ADVICE AND TRY
THIS REMEDY AT OUR RIsK.

+ Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane The mucous membrane IS,
/ one may say. the interior lining of the
body Catarrh. therefore. may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails 70 throw of the accumulated
poisons. The organ which has been af-
ficted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should
The result is. complication upon com
pIication, which may lead to other ev-
en- more serious AFFECTIONS.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward overcoIn-
ing Catarrh 1t is made from the pre-
scription of an eminent physician who
made long study of catarrh, and his
great success with this remedy was an
enviable one.
We want you. if you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, 10 give Rex
all Mucu-Tone a thorough trial. Use It
with regularity and persistency for a
reasonable time, then if you are not
satisfied. come back and tell US, and
without question or foTmality we viii
hand back to you every cent YOU paid

that anyone could make and should at
! test our sincerity of purpose. It

CANNON SECURED
FOR LOCAL SITES
Notable Awards Made by the
War Department at
Washington.
TWO FOR SPOT AT SEARS
To Re Associated With Monument
Marking Four Pioneer Events
The First in 1881.

Returning from the national rivers
and harbors congress at Washington
last week, w A. Meese brings word
of having secured two cannon to mark
a historic spot connected with Daven-
ports pioneer history and two cannon
to mark a similar spot in Rock Island
county The points are:
Credit island, below Davenport, now
known as Suburban island, where is
to be erected a monument commeBa-
Grating the battle of Major Zachary
Taylor, later president of the United
States, with the combined forces of
the British and Indians This battle
was fought in 1914.
Two for Sears.
Sears, in Rock Island county, com
memorating four important pioneer
events: The battle of the revolution
airy days in June, 1871, between Colonel
John Montgomery and the Sac and Fox
Indians; marking the Sac village; the
planting of the first United States flag
in the upper Mississippi in 1881 by
Zebulon NJ. Pike; the destruction of
the Sac village. A monument will be
erected in connection with the placing
of cannon at the Sears site.
Mr.. Meese also improved his time
and opportunity by working for the
improvement of harbors on the upper
Mississippi and the results were en-
tirely satisfactory and will be made
public at the proper time.
Taft Pleased with Gift.
4 I, t.
spects to President Taft and brought
with him to the chief executive the
gift of a pin set with pearls from Rock
river in the shape of daisy. The pin
was a bit of token of appreciation of
service rendered by Mr.. Taft while
secretary of war which made possible
the completion of the Hennepin canal,
and it touched the president in a way
that nothing else could.
Waterways Progress.
The national rivers and harbOrs con-
gress, said Mr.. Meese, was the largest
gathering ever held and it was marked
by much good work. F. G. Allen of Mo
line, in his address as representative
of the Upper Mississippi River I'M
provement association, drawing atten-
ton to the activity in waterways here
aboutand of the spirit of cooperation
of the association toward the general
cause of waterways. There was dis
appointment that congress would not
put Illinois deep waterway project
among the first and refused to issue
bonds, but the general effect of the
convention was progressive and the
work is bound to bear fruit.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-12-14

ing relations with klaw & Eriange,
There are Misunderstanding in theat
ricals as there are in other lines Of
business. and they can be aGtudicatsd
as they are in other lines The people
in Rock Island, as in other cities in
our circuit, can depend upon us to pro.
Ject them in the matter of amuse
ments."
stock Company Closes.
The Morgan Stock company has -
minated its engagement at the Illinois.
The plan originally was for the com
pany to remain through the season, but
there was a change determined upon
last week. with the result that the
company gave it's closing performance
Sunday. The company has left for the
south Manager r. II. Taylor has sew
eral first-class attractions for Deem
Der, one of which is 1.-The Wolf" the
Offering for this evening Manager
Taylor, during the recent unpleasant
ness that resulted in the cancellation
of the chief bills that he had listed for
the winter has made every possible eff
fort to serve his patrons with the bet
ter grade of plays. With the patching
OF the differences with Klaw & Erlan-
ger, which now seems likely, the Hi
nois will again come into its own, a
condition that the public here will re-
joice in.
What OF the Others:
The natural question now is as 20
the future Of the Grand, Davenport,
and the Barrymore, Moline, through
which Klaw & Erlanger have been
booking since their breach with the
Western Managers association. If
peace is finally declared 1t is not prob.
able that E1aw & Erlanger will serve
two theatres in any one Of the three
| cities
No Criticism of Local Management.
The public here has understood the
position of Chamberlain, Kindt & Co,
and has not felt unkindly towards
them because Of the break with the
combine But the public has taken the
position that Rock Island is big enough
to have the best that is going In thea
| tricals served at home. This situation
| had led to an agitation looking to the
| building of another theatre. This doubt
less would be dropped in the event that
/ the Illinois began booking regularly
the run of plays that it heretofore has
served.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Western
Theatrical Managers association, rep
resenting points in Wisconsin, Nebras-
ka, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, accord
ing to a statement issued yesterday af-
ternoon, have entered into a contract
for long term of years, giving exclu-
sive booking control Of their theatres
to kaw & Erlanger. The statement
says:
These managers some time ago de-
clared for an open door policy, but
have not been satisfied with results.
This, with the exception of a scatter
ing one night stand here and there,
gives Klaw G. Erlanger control not on
~ Of the cities but of all the one-night
stands in the United States and Can
