The Interests of Self Contrasted With Those of the Interests of the People of the Kleventh Congressional District. The people of th eventh congress atonal district havo an opportunity this year to contrast the iaien-sis of a self seeking individual w.th those of the en tire people of the district, and before de terming whfcb ttiey will acc-pt by their ballots, they should atou and ask them, selves the question, which it is their duty to do to contribute to the advancement of a man of purely seiflah design, or to the furtherance of those idea which appeal to the people as a Col. Marsh has been a chronic office holder and office seeker all his life, and has been in all cases and all circum stances actuated by a single purpose, and that self. For a numbtr of terms he held a mortgage on a seat in congress, but when the district he represented was changed, and Rock Island became a part of it, and his record was examined into, he was relegated to private life, and there he has'been kept since, aa far at the will of the people is concerned, although the republican party has taken care of him a greater of the 1st 10 years Meanwhile he has b.en constantly seeking for something better than be had, and like the famous character that Dickens conceived, coniiiiu-ily asking for more. He even had the audacity to aspire to the republican gubernatorial nomination, and notwithstanding that such a thought was ridiculed even by the republicans, he was only driven out of Private Joe's path by tfc.3 promise thst be should have the nomination again in the Eleventh district and he got it.

But this will probably ba the cai ct him. far as the people are concerned at least. The re publican party may take him under its wing again and soothe him with an appointive office. Mr. Plantz.

the democratic candidate from the Eleventh district, stands, on the other hand, for those principles which appeal most closely to the people of the district, those of taxation. He is an in telligent, broad-minded vouag man whom any party might be proud to honor and to point to as their representative in the lower houee of congress. And he will be sent there by a g.od majority. Henderson and Yore's Enterprise. Charles Yore arrived ia the city Sat urday night, and learning of his connec tion with the distinguished tragedian.

Walker Whiteside, who is under the man agement of W. Henderson, formerly of Rock Island, an Argus reporter visi-ed him at the Harper. "Weil." replied Mr. Yore, "as to the success of Mr Whiteside, he has the field aadislik to keep possession of it for a great mauy years. Packed houses were the rule last season, and were turned away from the op ra house wherever he pliyed a return engagement.

With tlie exception Mr. Keene, Mr. Whiteside is the only tragedian playing a Shakespearian repertoire before the American public, anil the papers all over the country vie with each otherln highest praii-e of his work." Mr. and Mrs. Drew.

Nov. 3, and give tfcrse great ariists a royal wel come. Treasures of a Turkish "Tomb. No Christian may enter these holy pre cincts the mosques of Kazan and as one passes the doors of the mosque one can only catch a K'impse of long rows of columns and arcades. The tombs themselves are within, each in its sanctuary.

These holy of holies are said to be most croreeous and beautiful. The ceilings and doors are richly painted and gilded, the walls and the tombs are hung with gold embroidered velvet, while on every side are ranged the presents brought ly the faithful who visit and pray there. Two centuries and a half of offerings are contained within these Among them are candlesticks of silver and gold, boxes of illuminated manuscripts, more than a hundred clocks of all ages and fashions, a quantity of old china and many other quaint things. Doubtless among this huge collection are articles of gold and silver, clocks, china, which, on account of their ages and the great care that has always been taken of them, are almost priceless. The business part of the sanctuaries is without doubt the huire with grated tops, into which the faithful drop their money.

The sums thus collected are divided monthly into four parts, one-fourth being laid aside for the keeping up of the tombs, and three-fourths go to the she-reefian family. Blackwood's Magazine. A Precocious Totitli. I was tolu by Dr. Koad, a relative of Mr.

Buckle, author of "The History of Civilization," that this remarkable writer was entirely self taught. His health as a boy was so delicate that he was never sent to school, and was left to learn little or much as he liked and how be liked. His accumulated knowledge was prodigious and his memory even about trifling things most remarkable. A friend of mine when in his company had occasion to refer to the cultivation of rhubarb, whereupon Buckle immediately said. "The plant was introduced into Europe in ItilO I mean the common garden rhubarb which grows wild in the mountains of Syria and Persia." He then went oa to say that this must not be confounded with the official rhubarb of commerce, adding statistics about the value of the latter -as an article of import into Great Britain.

Mrs. Crosse in, Temple Bar. A GREAT OCCASION. Saturday Night's Democratic Demonstration at Davenport The Torchlight Procession. Davenport endulged in a grand democratic demonstration Saturday night.

The torchlight procession was a brilliant spectacle, over a mile in length and made up of handsomely uniformed marching clubs and cavalry. There were numerous bands of music, while the streets were aglow with colored fire and illuminated buildings. The Stevenson club of Rock Island 100 strong had the position of honor in the procession and made a fine appearance. Tee Leader says of the club: The Stevenson club of Rock Island followed thee images. The members wore silk hats and white ulsteis and made a fine appearance.

Rock Island may justly be proud of having such an organization as the Stevenson club. There were over a thousand men in line and they kept faithfully in the ranks till the end of the parade, despite the length of the m.rch. Especially fine views were presented to spectators at the foot of Brady and Har.ison streets, as the procession was stretched tlong the slope cf the hill. The mingled and moving raa8 of lif ht seemed like a great flowing river of fire. The batteries of Fort Frahm did excellent service.

The thundering of the cannon awoke all tbcchoei of the tri-cities. Speeches were made at Claus Grot hall and the Burtis Opera house by Congressman Walter I. Hayes, Hon. J. B.

It is well known that many diseases, especially fevers and nervous troubles, be-bin with in1'g-tsUon. When the stomach and bowels are clogged with material that ought to pass off, the absor bents make an effort to remove it. The result is that much of it is taken into the blood and the whole source of the ife current is thus poisoned. The Laxative Gum Vrovs restore the proper action to the digestive organs and thus enable system to throw off this waste material. When thss is done the system soon recovers its normal tone.

The chief benefit of these gum drops is that thy can be taken without ny tee mg of medicine for there is no bad taste about them, nor dv they cause griping In fact many people are restored to he tlth by their means without ever knowing that they have been taking medicine at all Get them ol any druggist.
