IT BRINGS NEW LIFE. Th Slorreil Liquor, Opium and To bcco Care, ana the Uood It Is lo- ' It is doubtful if ever before in Rock Island's history an institution has sprung into such prominence from the time of its birth us has the Morrell institute. Tne efficacy of its treatment to those who have become adlicted in an uncon trollable degree to the use of liquor, opium or tobacco, has already become weil known as not a single case taken un-fer treatment has failed. It brings new life, new beings, new hopes and bright prospects to all who submit them selves to treatment, and many a man in Rock Island and vicinity who abandoned himself to alcohol and became a slave, has taken a new lease of life through the instrumentality of Dr. Morrell and his remedies. The chief beouty of the treatment is that one may receive it without interfer ence with his avocation on calling. and all dealings with the institute being of the most strictly confidential nature, his as sociates may never bs ihe wiser as to his treatment, anr more than if he werere- ceivin anv other form of medical treat ment. It has the appearance of simply a reform r.ioa wkh him. He abnd:Q3 dis- sipition or habit fcud turns over a new leaf. The Morrell treatment takes away the temptation tad leaves the moral na ture free to work its way in rebuilding the man and the character. Anyone wlao has become abandoned to any form of dissipation will find a friend io Dr. Morrell and a never-failing cure at his hands. A Trace rroposed. Rumors have been rife in railroad cir cles of late of the prospective patching up of peace between the 'Q' and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. ruptured at the time of tte big strike in 18SS Since then the road has not recog nized labor organizations, but negotia tions have been going on for the last couple of weeks, and now it is stated that the Q" is about to recognize the Federation of Itiilroid employes and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen. When the road got in operation after the strike it was sup posed that th men in the cab were not Brotherhood men. Brotherhood mer, however went to work upon the svs cm helping in Brotherhood men to places, and converting others to tee rrzaLizttion. It is said that almost a'l th engineers and firemen on the road are cow Brotherhood men. Since the strike, however, until very recently, there have been no negotiations between the road and the labor organizations, but it is said that several consultations have been held at Chicago within the past 10 days, and that an agreement has been practically reached by which the ro id will recognize the organizations. and agree to a new schedule of wages thtt will mean an all-around increase. nRBDfl L.1 r-c?v ft t-i y Litis 5 SM t.1 t4 Mi Powder A Still Alans. A still alarm was turned into the fire department from the residence of J. S. Gilmore shortly before 1 o'clock this af ternoon, and the Centrals responded in remarkably qnick time. It was found upon arrival that the cause of the alarm was a blaze on the roof of the frame cot tage at 1021 Second avenue owned by Virgil Warren, and occupied by William Barnhart. The blaze was discovered by Mrs. Barnhart, and an alarm was imme diately sent in and in the meantime a small garden hose was attached to the hydrant and with this the fire was extin guished before the arrival of the depart ment. It is supposed to have caught from a spark from an cdjoiaing chimney as the fire was on top of the shingles. There was no damage incurred as it was put out before it had burned more than two or three shingles. Safe, Sure and Speedy No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions so success fully as Allcock's Porous Piasters.
