A goodly number Of those who were the

for the purpose of showing the opposition
how they conduct conventions, and, Incl
dentally, to nominate county officers to be
supported BY the Republican party ihis fall,
IL the party holds together till that time.
OF course Major J. NJ. Besrdsley was
placed in the chair and ]. W. Morey elected
Secretary, Morey is e good looking Score
tary. All was lovely because Capt. Robin
son was not present, and ell the "outs"
looked 'sppy as they went to business.
First by the appointment of a committee Of
Beardsley men on credentials. There was
no quarrelling Rs at the other convention,
aud soon E. E. Parmenter was nominated

lowed him fully as happy in the nomination

Then came the appointing ofA committee
to select delegates to the State Convention
Beardsley men we're selected and instructed
to select the State delegates, members Of the
County Central and 9 member for the Dis

that of Moline. They leave Davenport

DIR. WISTAR'S
BLIslM OF Wild CHERRY

Is peculiarly adapted to every disease of the
lungs and liver which is produced by our ever
varying climate.
There is, perhaps, no disease with which our
country 10 affected, which sweeps of annually
so many victims as that fell DESTROYER of the
human raoc-Oonsnm ptIon. Day after day
year after year, the insAtiats monster hurries
60 the cold and silent portals of the tomb fresh
added victims to its conquest. No walk of life
is sacred from its blighting influence. No age
is exempt from It's death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food for this common enemy of mankind
The white haired patriarch whose life Of tenn.
peranee has rendered his system impervious t.
the attacks ofother ills, and whose good desdl
prepared him for the eDjOymsnt Of life's calm
evening, fnds consumption fastening its fang
upon his vitals, aud tearing him from a worlG
ever bright to minds which look complasently
on days we'll spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and incipien
stages, coughs, asthma, Group, and liver com
plant, form by far .he most fatal class of di
eases known to our land. Yet even those m a,
be cured by means of the simple yet pewerfu
re medes that are scattered herevsr these mai
aides prevail.

Died BUCHANAN READ, ARTIST AND
POET.

The death Of Mr. Read on Saturday last
though for many days expected, must be
regretted by ell devoted to art and letters
as an untimely end to al excellent career
Mr.. Read is known to the popular heart
by his poem of"SheridAn's Ride" and the
other blood stirring lyrics which sprung full
armed from his brain during the late war.
His large canvas representing the same
subject is not esteemed one Of his best
works, and is really interior to q small re-
pttcd of it which decorates the Presidential
cottage at Long Branch. Born in Chester
County. Pa, in 1922, at the age of Il
he removed to Cincinnati, where he entered
the studio of q sculptor. He however,
Abandoned the chisel for the brush, short
y after this time, according to his biogrAph
ers, though Rock Island has an evidence
that he painted portraits FIVE years prior to
this date, namely, portrait now in the pos
session of the proprietor of the Harper
House, upon the back of which is painted
the legend "BeDi. tF?) Harper aged %
Painted by ]. B. Read aged H."
In 1871, Mr.. Read removed to New York
thence to Bos,on-And finally to Philadel.
phiA, where he piled his art, being especially
successful in female heads. During this
time his frat volume of poems appeared.
He then visited Europe three times max
ing Cincinnati his American home. He has
added to our literature several volumes of
poems, among which are "Plays and Ball
eds "The New Pastoral Works." 2 volsJ
"The Wagner of the AlleghAnies," "Draft-
ing, !" "Sheridan's Ride and other poems
The" Good Samaritan" as we'll as collection
of Specimens of the female poets of
America" At one time Mr.. Read was
quite dissipAted, but those who knew him
in his youth will rejoice to learn that for
many years he was completely reformed
and we can but mourn the sudden e1tin.
gushing, at meridian, ofG lnminary whose
late splendor must have collapsed all former
gloriss.
BuI, they set As sets the morning star,
Which goes not down behind the dArkened
vest, nor hides
l's cares among the tsmpests of the sky,
saa @slta away into the light of heaven.

Col. FLAGLgR, in his report to the secre-
tsry Of War, states that the eight hour law
adopted by Congress, does not work so favors-
oy as he expected it would, among the
government; employees on the Island. It
was claimed and honestly, by many, that the
additional leisure afforded the men would
be employed in reading and study, or in
some manner that would serve 20 make them
better and more useful citizens. This has
been partially verified in the case of csrpen,
ters and mechanics, but in most other cases
injury than good to The men.
