All appropriation of only $75,000 for
rebuilding the penitentiary Is caus
ing the board of public lands and
buildings much grief. After cutting
tl ells down from 180 to 120 the
cost of cells will be $17,110 and adding
$2,000 for 700 blankets taken from the
state militia store house for the use
of the convicts, only $11,000 will be
left of the appropriation. The new
cells will bo placed In the new cell
house, but in addition to that expense
the board believes it is necessary to
tear down and rebuild most of the
walls of the old ecllhouse and put on
a new roof in order to preserve the
structure from destruction. How to
proceed with such a small appropria
tion Is puzzling the board. If the cost
of a good building is at least $100,000,
a large debt must be Incurred if the
building is erected.

FROM DEATH'S DOOR.
ITillsdale, 111., April 29th. Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with nn apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Gcncsco, nnd Davenport, In., had at
tended him, and in a consultation de
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr. L. F. Giles, a local druggist, as
to n last resort. Mr. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Tills, n remedy which
had just been Introduced here.
The results were marvelous. Mr.
Marks immediately began to Improve,
and within a few weeks vas able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of a miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any ense of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
ns Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered Incurable, nnd have
La filed all mcdicnl skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used, in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves nre nmnzed nt the won
derful work Dodd's Kidney Pills nre
accomplishing in Rock Island County.

It wns recently stated that England's
nrmy and navy is Inadequate to properly
defcad herself from a sudden onslaught.
Kngland is, in this instance, like the indi
vidual who allows disease to creep into his
system through a stomach too weak to
properly digest the food taken into it. To
strengthen the stomach there is nothing
better than Hosteller's Stomach Hitters.
It cures dyspepsia, constipation, indiges

tonic, is incomparable.

DON'T YOU HEAR BABY CRY?
Do you forget that summer's coming with
all its dangers to the little ones all troubles
bred in the bowels.
The summer's heat kills babies and little
children because their little insides are not in
good, clean, strong condition.
Winter has filled the system with bile.
Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash,
flushed skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or
constipation, all testify that the bowels are out
of order.
If you want the little ones to face the coming dangers with
out anxious fear for their lives, see that the baoy's bowels are
gently, soothingly, but positively cleaned out in the spring time,
and made strong and healthy before hot loeather sets in.
The only safe laxative for children, pleasant to take (they
ask for more), is CASCARETS. Nursing mothers make their
milk mildly oureative for the babv bv eatinc a CASCARET

There is more Catarrh in this section of
tho country than all other diseases put to-
supposed to be incurable. 1 or a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney &. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
tcaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials. Address F. J. Cheney & Co., To
