REsFoEED.-The Rev. DR.. Cracraft, who was
inhibited from preaching in Grace church, Gales
burg, by Bishop Win ehOuse, has been restored to

Alr. Cracraft was tried for his conduct DUAL

OHIO were given him to the bishop Of Illinois,
which letters Bishop Whitehouse refused to
accept. Mr.. Cracraft is. therefore, not re

lived before the war can recognize good many
things that belonged TO our old republican form

There has arisen state of security in which even

ROCK ISLAND AS A PLACE OF SUM-

This is the season of the year when thous-
ands of people seek recreation in change OF
atmosphere, exercise. diet, scenery, 90, DC.
and, it seems to us, there is no place where
the hot season can be passed 80 pleasantly as
in Rock Island. Situated on the banks OF
the broad Mississippi, in full view of the
magnificent Island of Rock Island, where an
an immense United States Arsenal il in prog
ress of construction, and where a very large
and superb military prison camp is located ;
having fine view of the beautiful bluffs on
either side of the river, being within an easy
three miles drive of the beautiful Rock Riv-
er: the same distance from Black Hawk s
Watch Towers bold promontory overlooking
Rock River, the Mississippi River. and the most
magnificent valley in the world; having the
very finest carriage roads to be found any
where, and the most charming shady drives !;
being in close proximity to the very best fish.
ing grounds of the Mississippi River, Rock
River and Green River within easy drive of
the most capital hunting grounds where plen.
ty of wild game can be found having hotels
equal to any town in this region, and full
supply of first class livery stables, and
connected by morning and evening trains of
cars and steam boats, with all parts of the
country, we do not see why our town should
not be the resort of large numbers of pleas
ure and health seekers, during the warm
season.

We haven't got ten dollars to remit, and
we don't spose any body would lend it to us, SO
we publish the letter Of our friends Hammett

Messrs. Hammest & Co, send the tickets i'm
mediately, by mail, at our risk, and after
wards remit the money. without deduction"
to the First National Bank of Rock Island,
payable to our order.
Messrs. Hammett d Co., are right when
they say, from their laborous Investigations.
thew are satisfied that there exists a strong
feeling in the west against lotteries" In
fact the feeling is so strong that people have
an idea that all lotteries gift concerts, raffies
and grab bags are cheats and humbugs, and
the people who are connected with them are.
SO to speak, ''no better than they should be"
But this prejudice We are determined to
overcome aud annihilate-just as soon as Mr..
Mitchell, president of the bank, notifies rs of
the receipt of our fortune. All other lottery
people gift concert people, ct cetera, we are sat-
is6ed, are cheats aud swindlers but Ham
NETT & Co., are real honest. gsntlemenly
men any body can see that by reading their
letter.
We expect to receive our money by the 4th
