The encouragement OF Women.

When we have the blues or are
suffering from disappointment of any
kind, says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine, We are apt to think
that there is not much we can do
but grin and bear it until the discour-
agement has run its course and the
suffering ceases.
1t is not necessary, however, for any
one to suffer fortunes from disappoint-
ment or Encouragement, for there is a
remedy right inside of us for the worst
fit of the blues" the keenest disap-
pointment. Any person who wishes
can, by little scientific training of
his thought, completely change his
whole mental attitude in a short time
by substituting for the suggestion
which pains him. troubles him, which
brought on the blues" its opposite.
We can antidOte our troubles in the
same way that we ahtidote those of 9th
ers, encouraging ourselves in the
same way in which we encourage 9TH
erS.
The next time you feel the blues
coming on, or a fit of depression or
dependency, just get by yourself.

The Treatment of Cancer.

DR.. Rampoldi, professor of ophthal-
mOlogy at the famous University of
Pavia, has made a noteworthy discov-
cry which may have important bear
ings on the search for cure for can
GER. He has experimental with a fluid
obtained from the Abrus precatoria, or
Indian llcorice, and has succeeded in
curing several cases of tumor, which,
according to his report. disappear with
in three weeks without leaving any
scar. So far Prof. Rampoldi has had
about tw tnty successes and a fair pro-
portion OF failures, the latter, how
ever, being confined to cases of tumor
of the tongue, lips or throat, of which
only half yielded to the treatment.

CIenning Walls

One of the best ways of cleaning
walls-that is, removing dust from
them-is to take large wad of cot
ton batting and place it in a loosely
woven piece of soft cheese cloth and
20 over every part of the walls with
it, changing to clean piece of cheese
cloth when necessary. This is an inn
provement over the old plan of wiping
the walls with the batting alone, be-
cause it is impossible to leave the
tiniest atom of lint when the batting
Is inclosed in the cheese cloth.

ROCK ISLAND HAS
A STIRRING DAY
LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE RAID
Is FOUGHT BY MAYOR
AND POLICE.

4 Rock Island, Sept. 22.-The Rocl
Island Law and Order league, formed
! recently for the purpose OF improving
moral conditions in the city, started
Pits crusade yesterday. Before night
a variety Of things had happened anc
organized vice appeared to be on top
at least for the time being.
! Among the stirring events Of the
establishments; the arrest by the
sheriff of the constables left in charge
the calling out by the mayor of the
fire department to prevent the burn
| ing Of the captured paraphernalia:
the replevining of their property ~
the gamblers, the arrest of the attE'
lney for the Law and Order league
! the beating Of two paid investigators
by friends of the gamblers, and the
locking up of other civic decency
sleuths on various charges.
League Turned Down by Police.
Rock Island has been wide open
town for more than year. Two
months ago the Law and Order league
was formed and at once began gather
ing the evidence that led to yester-
days raids.
The police and sheriff having re-
fused aid, Constable August Schmidt
of South Rock Island was given search
paratus at the two gambling joints.
On an order from Justice of the
Peace G. Leland he was about to burn
it, when Sheriff Kittilsen sent a
deputy to serve a warrant on him for
larceny and Mayor McCaskrin sent
members of the fire department to
prevent the stuff from being burned
and personally arrested and lodged IN
Jail one Of the constable's aids.
Then the writ Of replevin was
served and the paraphernalia taken
back to the gambling rooms. Attor-
ney John Hauberg, representing the
Law and Order league and several
other members of the organization
were arrested on the charge OF lar
ceny and malicious, mischief. Bail
was furnished for all.
Investigators Are Beaten.
During the afternoon w. w. Scott
and Frank Hulse, investigators, said
to have been connected recently with
States Attorney Wayman's Office at
Chicago, were set upon by a number
of friends of the gamblers in one of
the business streets of the city and
beaten. Later the two investigators
were arrested and locked up on a
charge of disorderly conduct.
Members of the Law and Order
league say they will see the fight
through even il 1t Is necessary to ap-
peal to the governor for aid. They
say they have evidence in $50 cases OF
gambling, illegal sale OF liquor, con-
Quoting disorderly houses, etc, and
will present 1t to the grand jury now
in session.
It is charged that there Is an organt-
cation for promotion of vice in this
city and that it is paying literally for
protection.

LIsHEs MORE LETTERS.

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 22.- Ihe
Republican today prints a letter from
Mrs. Bellamy StOrer, written IN France
September 6, reviewing the contro-
yersy between the Storers and Colonel
Roosevelt concerning the former pres
ident's alleged authorization of the for
mer ambassador to Austria-H Hungary TO
visit Pope Pins x and ask him as
personal favor to the president to
make Archbishop Ireland OF st. Paul
a cardinal.
Quotes Archbishop Ireland.
Letters written by the archbishop IN
1903 and 1904, hitherto unpublished,
are quoted Sby Mrs. Storer to show
that at repeated interviews in tne
white house between the archbishop
and the president, Roosevelt acknoWi.
edged that he had commissioned
Storer to act as his personal envoy at
the vatican In behalf of the archbishop.
Col. Roosevelt has hitherto publicly de-
MED that Storer was ever authorized
to represent him in this manner.
Asked Storer to See Mckinley.
There is included also another letter
alleged to have been written by Col.
Roosevelt to Storer just after the pres
idential election in 1896, in which
Roosevelt asked Storerp to see Pres1-
dent-elect Mckinley and urge him 10
appoint Roosevelt assistant secretary
of the navy. This last letter seems to
confute the recent assertion that Roos-
evelt never sought public office except
when he sought the presidential nom
nation in 1904.
Roosevelt's letter to Storer, dater
May II, 1896, concerning the desired
appointment as assistant secretary OF
the navy, follows:
81 have been thinking over that bust
ness and now will you let me write
perfectly frankly? If you care
to say anything for me, old fellow, !
think you could say it better If were
away. So, unless you think to the
contrary, or unless there is some rea-
son for the change, I believe that 1t
would be best for me to come and dine
with you; and then you see Mckinley
by yourself, if you care to do so at all,
which I earnestly hope you,will. Give
my best to Mrs. Storer.
Faithfully yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"
"P. 81 hope you won't think this
impertinent should rather have you
speak in my behalf than anyone in the
United States-a and I think you could
do the most good; but rather hate to
go there with you, for, somehow, It
doesn't seem to me that it would be q
good thing for you to speak for me be-
fore me. "T. R."
