LOW MANY THOUSAND OF PERSONS
IL do we daily behold, both male and female,
who are suffering out miserable existence from
the effects of secret indulgence, or from virus
absorbed into their sy stem from yenerial dis
ease. Look at their paid, emaciated and disfg-
ured faces, and their broken down constitutions,
depicting disease apd its horrible consequences;
disqualifying them from marriage, or the enjoy
ment of life P It is, therefore, important for
those sufferers to know that, By calling upon DR..
J. KATES, they can be efectually cured. He
is physician who has made "privste disease"
his especial study for thirty-two years, and who
has cured upward of thirty thousand cases 10
Cincinnati alone within the last twenty years.

WORSE AND WoRsE.-The editors of the
Union admit that they we're the cause of the
arrest of the unfortunate James Donpher.-
This is the meanest act of their lives They
are not satisfied with attending to their own
duties, but 60 around ordering the police to
watch this or that individual, and arrest him.
Rather pretty state of affairs, under the
new radical regime. Did the official city
printers get their portion of the 81 ,65 robbed
from this innocent man?
They try. in their paper this morning, to
connect Policeman Condor with the affair.
Mr.. Condor don't claim the glory( 7) of that
affair, but is willing that Curtis, Ed. Spen-
GERS policeman, should have it all.
The facts about the man, as we have been
told, are that he was educated for priest,
but having, by an accident, received an in
jury upon his head, he was rendered unfit
for the position. He is man of fine culti-
walton, gsntlemanly manners, and entirely
inoffensive. He is little eccentric, but is
quiet, peacable, inoffensive man, and had
done nothing TO warrant his arrest The
puritan editors of the official organ probably
wanted witness fees, or wanted to help Peetz,
Highly, Mclaughlin l. Co. to fees, and SO
they told the police he ought to be arrested
and Curtis, q fit tool for the "ring," was
just the man to do so mean job. The re-
suit was that man, innocent of any offense.
having violated no law or ordinance, was in
carcerted among burglars, thieves and other
criminals, over night, and when brought in
to court, robbed of S7,65 for nothing in the
world, except that the smell of his breath
did not suit Curtis-a good templar. Curtis
| first testified that the man was crazy, bu:
Highly could not fine him for that. Then
Highly tried to get Curtis to testify that the
man wss drunk, but Curtis didn't take the
hint, until after he had testified that he was
not drunk. The only evidence of distur
bance was that he was quietly, on the Sab
bath day, reproving the boys for swearing,
| Curtis testified that this wns all. There
was not a particle Of evidence on which to
fine him, and the course Of Highly is con.
demned by all who know the facts and are

The BIRD RETuRNED.-The lost canary
was returned to the Rodman House, about

Which made a little person at the Rod

OVER The WAY.-This side ofthe Garden
of Eden, Rock Island is the incest place to
live. The roar of its factories, and the roll
ing Of its chariots of trade, are soothing to
the ear, and remindful of the continual pro-
gress which never decreases. Something
in its atmosphere sometimes induces "delu-
sions Of the mind" and something in its sa-
looms creates Inconsistencies" but after
ALL it's a tip-top place, and can't be beat.
1t frequently occurs, however, that one wea-
ries of this perpetual hustle, and longs for a
little rural repose. Such was our case yes
terday. We crossed over to Davenport. The
peace and quiet of that somnolent city was
positively delicious. The streets were de-
lightfully deserted dry goods boxes, locat
ed in the sun, we're at a premium; jack
knives and plug tobacco were in demand !;
squirting tobacco juice at marks seemed a
popular amusement; hanging around the
corners was considered glorious editors
promenaded quiet thoroughfares with canes
on their arm, and telescopes on their Shout
ders, vainly hunting for items; rumor
spread that a Rock Islander had invaded
their celestial burgh of chloroforrnic attri-
butes; we were at once surrounded by quill
drivers dry goods boxes were dragged out
for desks /; pencils were clipped with light
ming rapidity "who was burglared?' what
house was assassinated ?" "wbo's hung,
garroted, split, and quartered ?" &C., &c.
were the discordant cries that saluted our
ears. People felt our boot legs, and asked
to see our California tooth pick !"
our friends wanted to know how many re-
volvers we carried; bored and nearly pulled
| to death we we're compelled to fly; the re-
| porters following at our heels yelling and
seriobling by turns, until we finally secured
| refuge on the naval armament of the "Poor
| Heirs" quite satisfied that if Davenport is
quiet, Rock Islander can soon raise a rum
pus there.

"If either of them ever run for city sexton they

NOTIFY YouR Yesterday,
we met good, strong. reliable democrat,
who was talking OF going on trip in the
country for about week, but when we sug-
gested that he would lose his vote, next
Tuesday, he concluded not to go until after
the election. A good many votes may be
saved, if our friends are active in notifying
people of the day of election, and urging
them to make arrangements to be here that
day. The committees should be on the
alert, IN this respect. Every committees
man should be supplied with tickets, also,
and see that no democrat forgets the day OF
election or neglects to vote.
