have never before found a preparation that
would equal your pain Killer ltnot only
sells very rapidly but gives the most perfect
satisfaction IN every case that has come to
my knowledge.
In my practice ! very seldom prescribe
patent medicine, but having entire confidence
in your "Pain Killer and knowing that it
possesses valuable medical properties, |
freely use it in my daily practice. 1t is the
most standard remedy have for sale, and
many families in this vicinity would as soon
think Of being out Of BEET or BREAD as with

FRE AT MoLlyE.-A FIRE broke out in
Moline about dark on Monday evening, in
Thomas Dunn's hardware store, originating
from the falling and breaking Of a kerosene
lamp. They telegraphed to the Rock Island
engine companie and they up, but did
not reach the spot till the f. spent its
force. The entire interior Of the hardware
store was destroyed, with a large and valu'
able stock.
Adjoining Dunn's, on the east, is Kars.
tens saloon, which also suffered serious loss
Both these buildings were entirely destroyed,
with nearly all their contents, The stores OF
]. S. Richards, james Shaw, L. G., Macbryde,
and the two -four stores were completely gut
ted, as was also the millinery stores of Miss
Rowley aud Mrs. Wilson.
The heaviest sufferer is Mr.. Dunn, who loses
his building, his stock Of goods his books,pa-
pers and about 5000 in money besides lie
probably had $4,000 to $4,000 stock on
hand. Ho does not know how much he is
insured, as his policies are burned, and he
can only tell by reference to the books of the
insurance companies. He thinks he has
81, 500 on building, and perhaps $4,000 on
stock. His loss is a most crushing one con
sidering his age, large family, &c. ehope
he may be enabled to start again.
Macbryde's stock Of dry goods is badly in
iured, but we hear that his insurance will
cover the dsmage-though he will suffer
very much by loss of business, &c.
Mr.. Richards stock is also badly damag
ed, but we hope his insurance is sufficient t
cover the loss.
All, of course, will suffer very much b.
| interruption in their business, for which, 0
course, there is no remedy.

The impotent rage of radicalism at the
immense success of the O'Brien meeting is
