A SUPERIOR REMEDY-We can conscien-
tiously recommend to those suffering from q
distressing cough, DR.. Strickland's Melliflu.
GUS Cough Balsam. 1t give relief almost In
Simultaneous, and is withal not disagreeable to
the taste. There is no doubt but the Melli.
huous Cough Balsam is one of the best pre-
paration in use, and is all that its proprietor
claims for it. We have tried it during the
past week, aud found relief from most dis
tressing cough. 1t is prepared by DIR. Strick-
land, No. 6 East Fourth street, Cincinnati,
o., and for sale by Druggists at so cents per
bottle. une3dw1y.

A MEAN THIEF.-We suppose every body
knows that the locust trees in this region
have been nearly all killed by the borer.-
Some may live for short time, but they will
all 60 very soon. To supply the place OF
these at Court Square, the sheriff has been
planting few new trees. Last night some
scoundrel took up one of them and carried it
of. From the track made by his boots it
was evidently rather small and genteel
boot. The theft Is a very mean one and the
scamp ought to be switched through the
streets with the little tree he stole. The act
was an offense against every person in the
county. Court Square is q place in which
every person in the county has an interest,
and no one has q right to do an injury to
anything on the premises. Any person who
commits any outrage upon the public prop
erty should be hunted out of community by
all the balance of the people.

To WHox IT MAY CoNcERN.-A careful ex.

ment," LyelPs Geology" and many others.
Any person having these or any of the
books of the former association in their pos
session will please return them without de.

Coop News l-Instructions have been re-
ceived by Assistant Superintendent Kim ball
to Immediately commence and vigorously pros
ecute the laying of the track on the NJ. & NJ.
R. r. westward from Grinnell as far and fast
as possible. The iron is to be at once for
wsrded from Chicago, and some of the need
ed men are already engaged. MIR. Kimb ball
will put the work through if the means are
but furnished as needed. We hope this is
but the iniatory step of more earnest policy
on the part of the NJ. & NJ. management, and
that we shall now see the long desired road
built-DaU. Gaz.

THE ARsENAL-The contractors for fur
nishing stone for the construction of the
Rock Island Arsenal, have at last perfected
their arrangements, and will begin to deliver
hewn stone in few weeks. A small force of
carpenters are busy on the wood work. Ma.
jor Kingsbury is not wildly impressed with
the idea that the building now commenced
will be rooted in this summer, though he con-
siders it safe to say that two or three stories
will be erected. provided the contractors can
furnish the material.

CAUTION FROM THE AMERICAN WATCH Co.
1t having come to our knowledge that imita
tions of the American Watch have been pu
upon the market in great number, calculated
By their utter wOrthlessness to injure the rep
utation of our genuine products, to protect
our own interests and the pub from impo
sition, we again publish the trade marks by
which our Watches may invariably bs
known,
We manufacture four les of Watches.
The first has the name
.'AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The second has the name
"APPLErON, TRACY & Co., Waltham,
Mass, engraved ON the inside plate.
The third has the name
''P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass ;" en-.
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The fourth has the name
VIM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial.
Ali the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold In gold or sll
yer cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for US to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually describ-
ed with names so nearly approaching our
own as to escape che observation of the un
o""-.-,; ID huver. Some are represented as
u h. - Union Watch Co., of Boston,
Ma. no such company existing. Some
are named as the Soldiers Watch" to be
sold as our fourth or VIM. Ellery STYLE usu-
ally known as the Soldiers Watch" 9th
ers are named the Appleton Watch Co. :"
others tne ''P. s. Barley" instead of our
up. S. Bartlett; ;" besides many varieties
named in such a manner as to convey the
idea that they are the veritable productions
OF the American Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particular
ly soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches, so freely advertised in illus
trated papers as Army Watches" "Oficers'
Watches, "Magic Time Observers, ''Arca
ma Watches" &C., the prices of which are
stated to be from seven to sixteen dollars
A good watch, in these times, cannot be af-
forded for any such money.
A little attention on the part of buyers
will protect them from gross imposition

Catarrh Cured.

They are treating Catarrh on a new system which
is a Sure Cure for the Disease.
Experience has proved that Catarrh cannot be
cured by local treatment alone; hence the many
advertised cures for Catarrh, all OF which are local
remedies, give relief only while the patient is US
ing them, but never cure.
Understanding the disease, and we know il can
not be cured by local treatment alone, therefore,
we also prescribe a constitutional remedy to be
taken, and by the combined local and constitution
al treatment, we enabled to remove the cause
of Catarrh, and thereby effect
PERMANENT CURE.
Their consultations for years have averaged from
five to seven thousand year, which gives them
experience unsurpassed by any, and equalled on.
ly by few.
W. Remember they do not promise to cure all
stages of disease. While all diseases are durable
If taken In season, all stages not. Your case
may be durable this week, not next-to-day, not
Tomorrow hence the danger of delay.
