Memphis, Baton Rouge, Natchez,
Vicksburg, and the quaint old city Of
New Orleans.
In closing Mr.. Wheeler says in his
characteristic and sympathetic fash
ion: And here | end my story. 1t has
been long in coming. Indeed, it might
never have been written. Since | took
that trip with Captain Blair, | have
been pulled and hauled around all
through the Mississippi valley and the
states east of the river and made a
trip across the ocean to almost with
In sound of the big guns that were
laundering there. Knowing Just a lit
tie bit about war, | shall be happy, in
deed. when our brothers in Europe
lay down their arms What a pity II
Is we have to settle differences with
powder and bullets. Men who, If let
alone, would love each other, are
brought face to face IL murderous
combat. What pity this Is! live in
the belief that the time will come
when swords shall be beaten into
plowshares and spears into pruning
hooks and war shall be no more. If
there is not something better in store
for humanity than human slaughter
then Gods program Is failure and
the bible is fiction. I sincerely hope
that the awful war now devastating
Europe will be the last one that this
earth of ours will ever know"

Mr. Nordin is noted Chicago bar
itpne who win q pear In the oratorio,
King Olaf" to be given by the Han
del Oratorio society at Augustana col
lege next Tuesday evening.
The oratorio, which will be present
ed by chorus Of so selected voices, is
one Of special interest. The compos-
er, Charles Busch, has taken the
words from the saga Of King Olaf by
Longfellow, and his music is peculiar
ly adapted to the stirring and vigorous
poem of the northlands. The general
theme is the introduction of Chris
tianity into Scandinavia in the ninth
century under the reign Of King Olaf
1t opens with q baritone solo speak
ing in the name of the heather god
Thor, In which he defies the king.
The king responds in the tenor solo
and takes up the challenge. An as
sembly of the people is called and the
king demands that they accept Chris
tianity. Choose, We, between two
things, my folk, to be baptized or given
up to slaughter" and the people
choose the former. King Svend OF
Denmark hears of the event and comes
to Sweden, and in a sea fight deposes
the king, who has to flee and is never
heard Of again. The final choruses
and trios by the soloists express the
idea that not by the sword must the
cause of Christ be won. but by the
word of God and the sword Of the
spirit interviewer In the story is a
pleasing romance of Olaf and Sigrid.

IS IT "JUST A COLD?"
Rock Island People Should Ask Them
selves This Question.

Don't say, It's just a cold
1t may turn into backache, rheumat-
&c aches, achy joints,
Or other serious sickness that comes
from weak kidneys.
Colds are due to congestion.
Congestion makes the kidneys over
work to filter the blood.
Colds often leave the kidneys weak.
First break the cold;
Then use DoHn's Kidney Pills to
avert the kidney dangers.
Let this Rock Island resident tell
you about them.
F. L. Carr, carpenter, 906 Seventh
avenue, Rock Island, says: Il strain
ed myself some years ago and ever
since | have been troubled by weak
kidneys and the pains are so severe
that l can't turn over in bed. Al
times the secretions are too frequent
in passage and then, again, scanty

burning sensation. l have used Doan's
Kidney Pills for the past 20 years

When Struck by Train.
SEEN WANDERING on TRACKS
Members of Train Crew Tell OF See
ing Unfortunate Too Late to
Avoid Crossing Fatality.

The coroner's Jury, which yesterday
afternoon inquired into the death OF
Charles Kneberg, prominent Moline
business man, returned a verdict to
the effect that he had been killed as
result Of being run over by c., B. &
Q. train Thursday evening while wan
dering on the tracks in a mentally IN
balanced condition. The inquest was
conducted by DR.. R. G. J. Meyer.
Witnesses who testified at the in
quest stated that few minutes be-
fore the accident they had seen Mr..
Kneberg wandering toward the tracks
The fact was developed that the IN
fortunate man had been subjected to
attacks Of dizziness, The jury's ver-
dict:
I'VE, the jury, find that Charles
Kneberg met his death as result Of
injuries sustained when struck and
run over by c., B. G O. westbound
passenger train No. 81 at Sixteenth
street, Moline, Ill, the evening OF
April 6, 1916, at $50. We also find
at the time the deceased was wander
ing upon the tracks in a mentally I'M

Testimony of the railroad employees
who were in charge Of the death train
substantiated statements they made
following the accident They said the
presence Of Kneberg upon the tracks
was discovered too late to prevent his
being crushed beneath the wheels OF
the train. They were unable to say
whether he acted as one mentally I'M
balanced. Other testimony given. how
ever, tended to show that the unfor-
tunate man was not himself at the
time of the accident.

2 tomorrow afternoon. Rev. S. NJ

SINGS OF

II. n. Wheeler of Quincy Journal
Writes Graphically Of Trip Down
the Mississippi.
Is CHARMED BY THE SCENERY
Tells in Well Known Pleasing Style
OF Cities Visited and OF Exper-
fences Encountered.

with the Morning Star in Dixie, IS
the caption which H. n. Wheeler, vet
eran and versatile editor of the Quin-
cy Journal, places over an interest
ing description, appearing in recent
issue of his paper. Of trip which he
took down the Mississippi river last
summer.
The article is written in the fluent,
forceful and graceful style for which
Mr.. Wheeler has long been noted. 1t
is not only beautiful tribute to the
noble stream on which he took his
journey, but also fascinating recital
of the early history of the river and
the cities on its banks.
"See America First
Editor Wheeler first mildly crit
icises the prevalent custom of seeing
America last" and in that connection
says: How little most of us know of
our own country How little We know
even of our own state. Many of us
don't know even the county that we
live in. l don't even know Adams
| county. There are many hidden
beauties in this county that | wot not
of. Isn't this too bad? Many an Amer
lean that might get lost in his own
county, will run across the continent
to see something. He'll run to the
Atlantic or to the Pacific coast, or to
Mexico, or to Canada, or across the
sea, to see something and this without
knowing the beauties of the county in
which he lives. Hundreds Of thou
sands of our people cross the ocean
and run up and down distant lands
that know nightly little about the
beautiful scenery in America. They
| do this because it's fashionable, be-
cause it's expensive. We run in rut!
Like sheep, we follow one another
Praise for River.
In speaking Of the Mississippi, he
writes: THE great river! Oh, the
glories of the great river! How few
Of US that live even on it's banks
know much about the Mississippi,
which, next to the Amazon, is the
! greatest river on the earth. There IS
nothing new or novel in the Mississ-
| ippi river to us who love it's banks;
and because there is nothing new or
novel in it, We don't appreciate it.
How many of our people do not know
| even the navigable part Of the river.
This great river, that runs from
| the frozen north to the balmy South
| land that borders on the southern sea.
What a river it is! What variety of
climate it passes through. What I'M
/ told beauty lies on its banks! And
yet, not much is made Of it by the
people of the United States who travel.
They go almost anywhere but up or
down the mississippi; and yet there
| Is no trip in America that affords the
/ traveller such great comfort or more
! pleasing scenery or that is more in
structive and informative. A trip
down the Mississippi is thoroughly
educational. Yet how few of our
people take it. We turn from the big
things at our very doors and chase off
to see little things that are far away.
| That's human nature

AS TO COMMERCIAL
TRAVELLERS.

A commercial traveller, VIM. ]. N.
Harris, of Cincinnati, writes to the
Commercial Tribune of that city a
letter stating that his territory in
cludes Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky,
and "that it is a safe bet that eight
out of every ten of travelling men in
those states are for Charles E.
Hughes; and he continues:
81 believe that this percentage
would hold good over almost all the
United States, especially in the North
em States.
"The travelling men, as rule, are
good judges of the conditions of busi-
ness and they know very well that
the Wilson administration has not
been a business administration, only
in war materials.
"Every travelling man representing
a legitimate house mad very hard
shedding in the latter part of 1918
and in 1914, until the war made busi-
ness generally good"
