READER, if you have q sick horse do not
dose him with Condition Powders" con-
tanning ansimony, which is just as useless
and injurious to him as is the constantly
swallowing of poisonous compounds to the
human system. Tits more humane to knock
horse on the head at once than to kill him
by inches through the action of antimony
which sccumulAtss in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death BY antimoniaI
poisoning. Remember, reader, there is no
antmony, nor any other poison in the $50.
uine 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

DISCOVERY OF SECOND VEIN OF ROCK
ISLAND COUNTY COAL.


We we're shown .oday BY Samuel Bowles,
Of this county, a specimen of second vein
coal which he has discovered on his place at
Bowlesville. Various parties have been
prospecting in that vicinity for number OF
years, but got nothing for their trouble.
Mr. Bowles, in 1886, bought 500 acres
of land. which he now resides on. For or
10 years he did nothing towards mining the
coal which he knew existed on his farm-or
rather under it. He was the first man to
d,scover coal in Rock Island county. In
1856, he commenced working his mines,
and has continued to work them ever since.
While engaged in cutting q ditch, IN his
mines, last Spring he struck a second vein
of coal. which runs in the same direction,
and at the same dip. This second vein lay s
some 80 feet below the bed of the frat vein
and started q. about six inches deep. After
working this second vein some 10 yards. MIR.
B. found that the vein improved Is it was
worked, and that it had increased from six
inches to q or 3 feet in depth, and also thai
the vein will soon run up to or 43 feet
which is about the same as his first vein
that averages from 81 to AZ feet.
Mr.. Bowles has one shaft IN working triu
now, and expects soon to commence extern
sive operations. He will not touch the
second vein at present. as the first is consid
cred mex hauslible. The field, under which
the coal lies, comprises some 300 acres, AM
from the specimen before US, We shoult
| Judge that Mr.. B. has struck ile."

BIrTERs.-A few words on this subject
may interest our readers. Many persons
think and actually believe that anything
labelled "B!tters" must of necessity be a
decoctlon of various Intoxicating stimulsnts
mixed with seasoning of spice or herbs,
and probably water if the latter article is
used at all, it must be a ver7 small quantity
Now We would not have our readers labor
under such mistaken opinions. Some bitters
IT is true, are hoisted upon the public OF
which the above opinion is correct, but
not SO of DIR. Walkers Vegetable Vinegar
Bitters. The medicinal virtues of these
oitters are wholly attributable to the herbs
used in its manufacture. The bitters are In
universal use, and are highly recommended
by the medical faculty everywhere. Please
read the advertisement of Z. Fl. Mcdonald
& Co., who are the general agents for the
sale of these bit,ers in the United States and
see what they have to- say

about midnight his partner in the drinking

the quarrel, Fennelly went for Mammalian

The wound was deep one, and bled freely !;

A RUNAwAY--This afternoon, about 3
o clock, q farmers team. which was hitched
in frort of Schneider's saloon, we're alarmed
by the approach of train, pulled up the
pos, to which they we're hi'ched, and started
around the corner and up Madison street at
full speed. Seeing the opening in the fence a.
the corner Of Union Square, they attempted
to pass in the square, but, having 10 guiding
hands at the reins, they miscalculated as to
the size of the opening, and tore off corner
post. The wagon was tipped over and
an axle broken, which was all
the damage done to that but one of the
horses received serious damage, BY coming
in contact with the fence, the other escaped
unhurt. The farmers name We were unable
to learn. Very few horses will stand in he
vicinity of ringing bells, screaming whistles,
and the sound of escaping steam. and the
only wonder il that accidents Of this kind
are not more numerous, considering the
culpsble negligence in owners of teams in
thus subiecting their horses to tests Of docili.
y beyond their endurance.
