THE itinerant humbug and quack "a. o.
Leary) who has been ranting in Babcock's
Hall for few evenings past, is pretty much
played out, his audiences having run down to
about one hundred. The same fellow was
here in February and March, 1857, and then
his forte was feeling bumps-he was great
on phrenology, then, and felt the bumps of
all people who were silly enough to let him
do so. By reference to our files we find that
he commenced Wednesday evening, Febru-
airy 18th, gabbled away, for a few evenings,
free OF charge, to get up crowd, and then
commenced to rake in the dimes. We are
told that he devoted good deal Of his abuse
and blackguardism, then, to Hon. William
Bailey, who was our mayor at that time, be-
cause he charged him a license for his per
formances. This seems to be chronic hab,
it with the fellow, as he continues the prac-
tice. Lacking the ability to interest intelli-
gent people, he devotes his time to personal.
tiles, and finds few people who are just as
well pleased with that as anything else. We
are told that he has given the impression, to
those who are green enough to listen to him,
that he is charged license for the nights
he admits free. This is not true-he is
charged S. for each exhibition to which he
charges all admission fee. Any statement
to the contrary is false.
We are also told that the has publicly stat
ed that the city clerk refused to change his
license so that he could give one show in the
afternoon, unless he paid the clerk an extra
fee of one dollar. This IS also false No
such application was ever made to the city
clerk. The city ordinance which we pub
lished the other day, (passed under DR..
Gregg's administrator fixes the fees the
clerk is allowed to charge, and authorizes
the city council to fix the rate for licenses,
but no license to be less than FIVE dollars
This quack has been charged the lowest rate,
and only for his pay nights-and he has
blackguarded the city authorities every night
since-and found few weak people who
seem to be tickled with his personalities and
abuse.
1t is strange that any person of even Or
DIARY intelligence can be fooled by so soft
fellow as this O'Leary. But there are peo-
pie who run after him and think him an Or
acle. And women run to his room to con-
suit this charlatan about their ailments, and
pay him money for his prescriptions which
are as worthless as paper rags,-and every
one of them will admit, in less than month,
that they fooled away their money.
We understand that he devotes a portion
of his frothy abuse to the editor of this pa
per. Would he like to have US expose his
attempts to make ladies who call on him
''pay toll before they leave his room? Would
he like to have US publish an exposure of
him made by an acquaintance of his in
1857? We have plenty of leisure and can
devote little time to this imposter and hum
bug, lust as well as not .s=

A GRAND EPOCH IN mEDTCINE.


DR.. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeebie the stomaeh,and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive 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 virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three boxes
of his matchless salve.
DIR. Maggiers Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating ayaian-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of MaggiePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiel's Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiels Salve is infallible.

were introduced to the public N 1885, since which
time their reputation has extended until they have

civilized nations who have not personal evidence of

Their combined effect is, to regulate the impaired

is not asserted Moffat's Pills are care-dtt-that

circumstances they may be relied upon to cure
Nervous and sick Headache, Costiveness, Dyspep-

plants, Colds, Scurvy, General weakness, &c.
They are expressly made for these diseases. Mil
lions upon millions of cures can be cited. In no
single instance has a complaint ever come to our
knowledge, where they have not operated as re-
commended.
The printed circular around each box fully ex-
plains the symptoms and effects OF each disease,

THE Wapello boys had fine game for
practice, at their base ball grounds, yester-
day afternoon. They mean business, and
are determined, If hard work will do it, TO
preserve the well earned reputation they Sc
cured last season.
We believe it is the intention to get up a
northwestern base ball tournament at Rock
Island, this season, which will be attended
by large number of base ball clubs of Hi
nois and Iowa, and probably some from WIS
cOnsn and other western states.
The location is the best in the west to ac-
commodate all, as clubs from the principal
towns in six states can reach this city by
river or rail easier than any other place.
If our citizens were to encourage the mat
ter properly we have no doubt the affair
might be made great success.
