ANOTHER GRf4aT SCOOP FOR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The Assocla ted PTcss scored another
great scope yesterday in imparting to
the wai'ing world the distressing news
OF the loss OF Cap. ain George F. Scott
and his marty Of intrepid explorers
in the soLth polar regions. The in
formation. dreadful as it was, was Of
three fold Importance. First of all
II conveyed the sad fact OF the fate Of
Captain Scott and his party. Secondly,
IL bore the information that Captain
Scott had reached the south apex, and
thirdly, il confirmed the claims Of
Amundsen that he had made the orig
inal discovery. Amundsen's records
we're found by Sect and his party at
the pole. and the flag Of England was
placed beside the Norwegian banner
that had been bone triumphantly to
the spot but a month before.
II was o. ne return trip IN which
Captain Scout had delayed his plans
in order 10 continue and complete his
explorations that he persisted.
The Associated Press exclusive in
formation was flashed yesterday morn
ms, and papers In the evening field
such Rs The Argus had full detailed
reports in their earlier editions. re-
ports as complete in fact as those
which the metropolitan papers OF today
carry under the startling headline Of
extra" II was only because the early
editions Of the Associated Press
papers OF yesterday in the larg-
er cities printed the news
about Scott that rival news agencies
gained any intelligence whatever about
the great story or the day, and then
the purloined reports looked distress
ingly feeble alongside the detailed in
formation sent out over the Associated
Press wires.
The Associated Press has once more
scored as being on the job and get
ting the information fret handed, &C
curate and complete.

Lent means a great deal more than
simply religious rites and ceremonies.
Even though We may have no church
creed to live up to, which requires
cessation from pleasures and rich
foods, it is wise from a health stand
point TO have this rest and quiet.
In cold winter months heavy meats,
rich gravies and pastry are eaten. A
reasonable amount of it can be very
well taken care of if one is active.
But every one is not and the body be-
comes clogged and if rich foods are
continued during spring months, with
an occasional warm day, we have what
is generally known as spring fever. "
No reason for it at all. and Lent is the
time to clear the body by eating more
vegetables and nuts than meat; dande-
lions as soon as they are in the mar
ket also onions, spinach and rhubarb.
These are natures special foods for
cleansing the system.

GUARD THE LINE.

The Argus iG gratifed to have the
assurance Of President ]. F. Porter
Of the Tri-City Railway company that
in connection with such privileges
as it may seek at the hands Of the
city, contingent upon its complete &C.
quirement and occupancy Of the TWEEN
ty-fourth street tract for shop and car
shed purposes. there exists no pres
ent desire TO have a connecting link
on Twenty-fourth street Yielding to
and respecting the popular feeling
against a line between the Fifth
avenue tracks and the Bridge line
by way of a short cut, President
Porter advised The Argus yesterday
that no applies ION would be made for
tracks on Twenty-fourth street and
such switches or turnouts from its
Fifth avenue tracks and those OF the
Bridge line as would be asked in or
der TO reach the companys proposed
sheds and shops. would in no case be
used as a means OF connecting the
Moline and Davenport systems for
through trafic.
AS The Argus has said, it is glad
10 note that NJ Porter has so well
anticipated the popular opposition that
would attend any possible move at
this time o. x the future to divert
travel down Fifth avenue to the bridge
by way OF Tv saty-fourth street, and
has made his position and intentions
clear at the outset And there is
no regso" to doubt Mr.. Porters sin
certify and good Faith. But Mr. Porter
may not be with the Tri-City Railway
company always. He was not with the
! Tri-City Railway when the stub line
was permitted ac-oss the island from

/ land, a positive stipulation of which
permit was tbs, I; was only 10 be used

| So that while F ock Island, follow
/ ing its accustom 81 policy of meeting
/ the Tri-City Railway company more
than half way in the granting of all
reasonable privileges, especially where
they promise a return that is much tC
be desired. should safeguard the fu
/ ture.
Hence in any ordinance that may be
granted to meet the wishes of the
corporation. should be included 6
clause. carefully drawn, in effect thai
any use either of Twenty-fourth street
or the compsny,S premises for a con
meeting line between the Fifth avenue
