Sullivan, Democratic SEN
atorial Candidate.

Evening.

Despite the fact that the weather
conditions bid fair to be unfavorable
one of the largest rallies of the political
campaign is planned for this evening
when Roger c. Sullivan, democratic
candidate for United States senator, is
scheduled to speak at the Illinois the
atre.
For years Mr.. Sullivan has been one
of Illinois mos. representative demo
. Gratis. At the primaries he made a re-
markable personal canvass and formed
countless personal friendships among
those who had known him solely
through reputation.
Mr.. Sullivan and Elmer A Perry,
Springfield, are to reach the city this
evening at 5:55 from Galva over the
Rock Island. They will be escorted
to the New Harper by the committee,
where an informal reception will be
held both before and after the rally.
At o'clock Mr.. Sullivan will speak at
the Illinois theatre. Musical numbers
are to be given by Bleuers band and
the Eagle quartet. T. A. Fender,
county chairman will call the meeting
to order and introduce States Attor-
ney +. L. Thompson. who will preside.
Worthy of Crowd.
People generally in the county should
make special effort to hear Mr. Sui
Ivan. lie is a man with a message.
He will explain in a plain. matter-of-
fact way, without the spread-eagle
style of oratory which is so common
with political speakers and so tire
some to the average man, the plat
form on which he stands and the
principles he advocates. Although he
has been bitterly attacked. he is keep
ing his campaign on a high level and
does not indulge in abuse or Islander.
He treats his opponents fairly and
discusses issues in a concise and in
telligent fashion, without appeal TO
partisanship or prejudice.
Altogether. he is a character of COM
handing Importance in the state and
should be greeted by large audience.

MATTRESSES AND STOVES
NEEDED AT SETTLEMENT

The West End settlement is in need
of three mattresses, a cook stove and
a heating stove. Mrs. W. b. Baker. the
superintendent reports. The settle
ment is doing a great work and the
demands upon it now are heavy, with
prospects Of a severe drain upon its
resources during the winter. Those
who have the articles which are need
ed there and who can spare them can
find no better way to dispose of them
than TO give them to this institution.

No Alum
No Dyspepsia

Look to the food. Eat heartily of hot
breads, hot biscuit, hot cakes, made light and
tasty with Royal Baking Powder, and snap
your fingers at dyspepsia 1t is the tasty, ap-
petizing food that aids digestion.
There is quality in Royal Baking Powder
coming from the purity, wholesomeness and
fitness of its ingredients, which promotes di-
gestion. Food raised by it will not distress.
This peculiarly of Royal has been noted by
hygienists and physicians, and they are
accordingly earnest in its praise, especially
recommending it in the preparation of food
for those of delicate digestion.
