In the mean tune he has been on duty at Omaha, Chicago and other stations in the ser vice of the army and is now at New lort, Ky., on leave of absence, visit ing his mother. The Cincinnati Times- Star has this to say of him: " The man who directed the hand ling of 18.000 tons of munitions of war without an accident, without the explosion of a single cartridge, and without the discrepany of one cent in the tremendous item of J 1.000,000. is in Newport, Kv. He is Lieut.-Col John T. Thompson, of the ordnance department; lias oniv recently re turned from Cuba, and is enjoying a brief leave of absence with his mother, :urs. tot. inompson. Alter the ces sation of hostilities, Lieut.-Col inompson was assigned to duty in Cuba with the lioard of oflicers dele gated to select camp sites for the army ot occupation. Himself and as sociates traveled extensi elv in the island antl selected camping grounds in the provinces of Havana. Matan.as and Pinar del Rio. He savs that in parts of the island thev en countered ruins or ma;niticent sntrar plants, destroyed by the Spaniards or the Cubans, as the case chanced to be the Cubans seeking to destroy in dustries which produced revenue for their oppressors, and the Spaniards devastating the country in the scheme of reconceutratiou. Some of the re fineries and plants destroyed, Lieut Col. Thompson estimated to have been of the value of $o00,000 or more An Eden of Opportunities. "tuua he pictures a garden spot an Eden of opportunities, particularly for the agriculturalist. Farming land, lie says is rich and fertile, and what is more to the purpose for the home-seeker, is cheap. Excellent land can be bought for from $ 2 to ?5 an acre. Havana he descrilies as a beautiful citv, which will rapidly de velop into a lirst-class municipality through the magic influence of Amer ican enterprise, enerrv and capital During the war Lieut.-Col.

Farmer Martin Burns met defeat at the hands of Tom Cannon, the Eng lish champion, in a three-fall bout. G.ra-eo-Ronian, at the Davis opera house, in Clinton, Iowa, last night. Cannon won the opening fall in nine minutes, with a half-Nelson and left bammerlock. Burns took the second in 14 minutes with an English sideroll and double crosslock. Can non downed the farmer in the third in IS minutes, an English hammer lock doing the business. One thousand people witnessed the match.

They Are ot to Ulame Rend Thli State- ment Front a Km k Island Lady Every mother in Rock Island should read this statement. Many mothers blame their children for what thev are not always able to prevent. The poor little oiles suffer for their inabil ity to do differently. Many children are born with weak kidneys. Thev wet the led uirrht after niiiht, because they really can't help it. Mothers scold, then" whip aud olten shame the child, but the accidents go on nightly. If 2 cents' worth of forethought were used, it would be seen that after whip ping, scolding and shaming the child if it still continued this habit, that the child must certainly have weak kidneys or an inflammation in its bladder. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids cure this trouble perfectly. They are easy to take, as thev are tablets" (yellow) and not a nasty, nauseous pill. We want to give you the experience of Mrs. Harriet Atkinson, residing at 418 Ninth street, this city, who savs: Mv husband died a few years ago of Hright's disease. I have four chil dren, three of them with weakness of the kidneys, which of course they in herited. They did wet the bed at night and their clothes in daytime; the ages of the three affected are the eldest ones, aged respectively 11, 'J ami 7 years. I have given Morrow's 'Kid-ne-oids to all three of them, and they are en tirely cured of this weakness in the daytime, and it is seldom that any of them wet the bed at niffht now. I im still rivinr them Kid-ne-oids, and I know from what Morrow's Kid-ne oids have already done that they will cure them entirely. I procured th kid-ne-oids at Huhnsen s drug store To coulirui the statement of Mrs Atkinson, we want von to ask her about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids: she is a grateful mother and will be very glad to fell vou personally how much her children were heuetited by their use, Io not confound Morrow's Kid-ne oids with any kind of kidney pills thev are not pills at all, but yellow tablets, and are put up in wooden boxes which sell at 50 cents, and con tain enough for about two weeks treatment, and are never sold in bulk Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are for sale by all first-class drurrists.

Sag-festa That Offleera of Loenl Aaaoela tien Extend Invltatiooa to Interested Towna for the Purpose of ReorgavnUlna; the Circuit Thinks Next Season's Pros pects for the tiame Are tlood. Kock Island would be the proper place for holding a meeting or repre- entatives of interested towns for the purpose of reorganizing the Western Baseball association for next seasou, in the opinion of Belden Hill, who managed the Cedar Rapids club last vear, and who will retain his old po sition in 1S99 if that town has a team. Belden has written a letter to his o'd friend. Lou Eddy, secretary of the lo cal association, in which he savs: Don't you think there should be a mectim? called as soon as possible to organize the association? Can't you and Mike Sexton send out a call to ei"ht or ten rood towns and call a meeting in Rock Island? I think Rockford, Quincy, Ottumwa and Des Moines are ready- and try and get some good people from Peoria. Spring- held, liloomington and auy other good towns, to attend. I guess the town here will be O. K. If we could get Rock Island, Rockford. Springfield Peoria. ('iiucv. Ottumwa, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids in we would have a nice circuit. I have wont from Joiiet that it would be no go there, as loial players control the park there, aud would not consent to let it go for any league team. Decatur might come in, als'" Jack sonville our old "J4 friends may- want a place. They were slickers and that is what we want. I will write good people at Burlington and see if thev could be induced to come in again, i tiiiuk we can get up another nice snug circuit if some one will ahead aud call a meeting and let us get settled so people will know what there is to do. I think it will be a good vear for baseball." As T. J. Hiekev, of St. Joe, the ex ecutive head of the association, does not seem disposed to act. it is possi ble a move iu accordance with Mr. Hill's suggestion will be made soon The baseball question is at fever heat in many towns, and it is believed a cracker jack league could be formed with ltock island, oi course, as a member. Some Squills. Billy Connors, that fat little i er of last- vear's Peoria team, has signed with Truby at Youngstown In Connors Youngstown gets one of the best outfielders in the association a good hitter aud one who is last on the bases. President Ban Johnson, of the Western league, lias issued a call for the league magnates to take place at the Great Northern hotel in Chi cago ou Jan. 11. The lKSf'J circuit will in all probability be the leadin question, to come up for discussion and the eighth club oi the league may be decided upon. Although some Motion iii'iy lwi tiLiiM of f nn i-kisiAtin the final make up of the league will not be decided upon until after the next meeting oi me National league magnates has taken place.
