"BocK" WEBB IN JAIL.-Chas. T. Webb,
crockery dealer, in Davenport, commonly
called "Dock" Webb, was on drunk about
town yesterday afternoon and evening. In
the afternoon he called at the Dye House. on
Eagle street, being half Supplied with liquor,
and made himself such general nuisance
to the people there that they threatened to
call the police, and he left. In the evening
he visited several saloons, much to the dis
gust of the proprietors, for the reason that
Webb is such silly, disgusting creature,
when drunk, that their customers all leave
the saloon. He was finally locked up,
by Policeman Feeley, to the great
relief of those he was annoying. When
searched, before he was put in the lookup,
he had on his person only 80 cents in money,
q valuable gold watch, large variety
small slips of paper, and a unique article, OBJ
tanned only at the drug stores, the use of
which is known only to the initiated. When
asked his name, before being locked up, he
said "Johnson.'
This morning. he was brought before Mag
istrate Connolly, who enquired his name
He seemed very penitent and gave his name
as "R. o. Jeffries," but when he saw the al
tentative of giving his true name or return
ing to Jail until he would do so he said "alias
Webb" but added that che didn't want it
published in the papers"
This practice of giving the names of other
persons in the police court is played out, and
people who don't give their true names are
soon willing to do SO, when grated cell
stares them in the face.
Webb was fined $5 and costs, but having
only 90 cents in money, his watch was re-
tanned until he procured the stamps.
This is the third time he has been fined
in our police court, and we. don't propose any
further suppressing of his name.
1t is said that he has most estimable
beautiful and accomplished wife, and that,
when sober, he is q gentleman. But, when
drunk, we know him to be poor silly ''coot, y
and-our police will show him no more leni.
ency-they'll go for him every time, in fu.
ture. They don't propose to allow the first
merchants of Davenport to cut up, in 'Alias
Webbs" style, in this city. as

A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after a sojourn
of a few months in the city, was hardly recOg-

tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry to the cause of SO great change,
she plainly told them that she used the Chr
CASSIAN BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any ladys toilet. By its use
any lady gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, as nature herself is simple, yet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface
as intended it should be, clear, soft smooth

ACARD FROM THE
American Watch Company
OF
-wALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over zee operatives. They produce rs, 600 Wat
ehes year. and make and sell not less than one
half of all the watches sold in the United States
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity a lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skilltul operative
must vary. But it lisa fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Aneres Lepines and
so-calIed Patent Leyers--which soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workInen. All the company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carriedS bn under
roof, and under one skil1ful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
arts all made by the finest tine most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
ehine-that infallibly reprodueeseyery succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch of one.
particular style and then TO adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part of
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part must be like it.
The company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can

TEN. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases. to the finest chrome

A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDTCINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
systems The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyre the bow
els and with whose external remedies the uloerat-
ed and eruptiye surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most yirulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
DR.. MaggiePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nnuseatfng ayalan-

the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
