He entered the burnt cork profession, be.

HYNENEAL.--Mr. George Vinton, Of Mo-

George has just returned, and by way of re-

bring the star with him, the celestial radi-
ance of which it is hoped will continue te

FINANCIAL STANDING OF THE ROCK
ISLAND PAPERS.

For SIX months past the ARGUS has been
the only paper published in this city which
has met its Geographic bills from the Asso-
ciated Press. The other paper for reasons
best known to it's managers, has been un.
able to keep up in this respect. Despairng
Of ever getting considerable amount of ar
rcarages from it, the Associated Press has
recently made an attempt to force the ARGUS
to help pay the debts Of the Union. We
have publicly exposed this outrage and hav'
ing the documents filed away to prove our
assertions, if necessary, that sheet has not
the temerity to deny them. We have re
| fused to submit to any such an unheard 0
proceeding, and cannot be dragooned intt
it. This comparison Of the financial cOndi
ton Of the two papers should not be los
upon the public. The ARGUS will Away
furnish the rerv latest Chicago, st. Louis
and New York Markets, the very latest mis-
cellaneous news, and as heretofore, will re
main the leading paper OF the city anC
county in respect to local news. dwtf.

FATAL AcclDEST.-The Aledo Record
says that Mr., Gray, a respectable citizen OF
Viola, met with an accident last week, which
resulted in his death in few hours. He
was trying to drive some stock home from a
wooded locality near the village, and having
occasion to run, he tripped and fell across a
gtump, He had had an abcess on his body,
for some years, and in falling over the stump
this part received o conclusion by which il
was ruptured inwardly. He was found in a
helpless condition some hours afterwards,
and taken home where he died after short
but intense suffering. He was about sixty
years of age, and was q former citizen Of
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

EXTRACT PROM a LETTER.

About year ago my wife was taken sick
with canker in the stomach, whichin short
time so impaired the digestive organs that
she could take but little or no solid food;
the stomach would even reject liquids almost
a. soon as.swallowed; very severe PAIN IN
the bowels. with constant darrhea and
very distressing cough at times.
She steadily grew worse under the best
medical skill at our command, until she be
came q mere skeleton; skin dry, rough, and
drawn tightly over the bones; not the least
appearance Of blood in her lips or any part
of her system; 30 near gone that she could
not raise Il hand, bend or straighten hel
limbs in bed. In this helpless, lifeiess anc
forlorn condition in April last she was car
ried to Rock Island and placed IN care o.
DIR. A. j. Grover, for magnetic treatment
At the end OF the first week she caught
severe cod which seemed to ieopardze he
life for two weeks, Notwithstanding this, a
the end of the fourth week she was able II
walk across her room. In three weeks sh
returned home in better health than she has
| enioyed for several years.
The cure was considered By those VIII
knew her almost beyond human power.
For the truthfulness of the above state
ment, | refer you to Mrs. McDole, Curtis
Wright, Brown and Falkenburg, all OF Roc
