~ The President has decided to pardon all
the Fenian prisoners caught during the raid
of last spring, and since sentenced to various
terms OF imprisonment. They are all to be
set free by the leth inst, Gen. 0'Neil
among the rest all having promised to re-
spcct our laws in the future, and the Prcsi-
dent considering that they have been punish
cd sufficiently for past oifenses. There will
be differences Of opinion about this, but no
one is likely to make much objection to tho
proposed release. The prisoners are poor
lot. ." anyhow, and after their last springs fz-
zlo we should suppose it would be impossible
for them to get up another expedition, should
they try ever so hard, big enough to scare the
Canadians, much less able to do them any
harm.

A CARD.


The undersigned committee in behalf of
the Turner's Society, desires hereby to ex-
press its heart felt gratitude
To Mr.. John Warner through whose
iberaiity the society was welcomed TO his
beautiful grove, and to whom they are
indebted for the many acts of kindness
shown them while occupying his premises.
To the home societies for their hearty
co operation in making the festival not only
an occasion which would meet the approbs-
ton Of our brothers and friends from abroad
but surpass the most extravagant Rnticipa-
tions of having q grander funniest than any
whose record has, Is yet graced the annals
OF the Society.
To the several speakers whose pleasing
to the festivities which could not have been
given sxcep. By thorough logical discourses
appropriate to the time and occasion.
To Mayor Skinner, for the able and cred
table manner in which he rendered his
services.
To the Press, for the interest it manifested
during the whole occasion, and for the plain,
i'm partial, and com plele accounts with which
it has favored those who could not attend
the festivities in person.
And, lastly, to the citizens in general, wfo
by their appreciation of the merits of our
cherished organization, gave the greatest
encouragement in the prosecution of a good
work, and, by their liberal participation,
tended to achieve a success which will long
be- remem bered by every Turner, and is one
of those germs which will manifest itself not
only in the growth of the Society, but also
in the interests Of the community.

STREET RAILWAY ExrENsioN.-President
Warner commenced the extension of the
street railway this morning by placing a
strong force of workmen on the present
terminus a. Elk street. Between Buffalo
and Elk, side track, two hundred aud fifty
feet in length, is also being pu. down. The
only delay in carrying forward the extension
will be in obtaining the iron, as sufficient
force is employed to prepare the road bed
IN short time. The line will be extended
to the glass works below the city, adding
about one fifth to the length, which will
then make four miles Of track, exclusive Of
switching. President Warner is active in
experimenting the enterprise, and to him
and others will the citizens of Rock Island
and Moline be much indebted for this need
ed improvement.

ALMOST serious accident occurred yes
serday afternoon near Stodds foundry, on
the Camden road, where we'll is being dug,
the workmen having attained a depth of
about fifteen feet. A man whose name our
informant did not Learn, drove up with his
team and stopped near the well, which was
covered over with boards. While the team
was standing, two dogs commenced fighting
near the wagon, which frightened the horses,
causing them to lunge forward upon the
covering of the we'll which instantly gave
way, and the horses becoming detached
from the wagon were p-ecipitsted TO the
bottom. Here they struggled for some time
in three or four feet of mud and water until
finally extricated. No other injuries were
sustained than few slight bruises and
sprains.

READER, if you have a sick horse do not
dose him with CONDITION Powders" con-
tanning entimony, which is Just 60 useless
and injurious to him as is the constantly
swallowing of poisonous compounds to the
human system. 1t is more humane to knock
horse on the head at once than to Kill him
by inches through the action of aptimonv
which accumulates in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death by antimopisl
poisoning. Remember, reader, there ia no
anthony, nor any other poison in the "Ea.
nine Condition Powders" Their action,
under all circumstances, is physiological:
therefore they can be safely used in all forms
OF disease whether acute or chronic) with
decided benefit to afflicted animals.
