A NEW DEPOT.
To be Erected by the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific Company.


A few months since The ARGUS announc-
ed that il vas the intention of the Chicago,
Rock Island 4 Pacific Railroad Company to
erect new depot here, the present season.
II was expected then that the work would
commence at once, but as week after week
passed, il was feared that the project had
been abandoned for the present season, and
that the public would have to put up with
the present poor apology for depot, anoth-
ar wear at least II is now announced that
work WILDE commenced Immediately and
new depot cree ted as quickly IS possible.
Yesterday afternoon The 5th) Assistant
Engineer Brsyton staked of the grounds to
be occupied by the new depot, aud to.mor-
row RoAdmAster Burnett will be ON hand to
commence moving tracks and breaking
ground.
The depot will be located al the head Of
Orleans street, west Of the new track to the
Island, and north of the present main track.
A large amount of work has already been
done here by the company this summer, the
site for the building having been reclaimed
from Sylvan Water hy filing The grading
is not nearly finished yet as the company in.
tend to fill in and reclaim the whole of the
triangle to the end Of the bridge.
The main depot building will be of brick
forty BY one hundred feet, fronting on cas-
and south. 1t is expected that it will b
completed in about sixty days. As EoOr
as the new depot is finished the old one will
be torn down and new freight depot erect
ed upon its site. The idea of the engineer i
to build the freight depot Of brick, forty b.
two hundred feet, and to throw open tn
entire space between the depot and Illinoi
street for the accommodation Of the trAnsfe
business.
The new passenger depot will b
located in the triangular piece o
ground just above the track lead
ing over the old slough bridge, an
which is now being filed up. 1t viii be
small, one story building, and in order to &c
to it il will be necessary to cross all the raj
road tracks, which is very Objectionable
= II would be much bstter if it could be bui
on the south side Of the railroad track
j After it is finished it is expected that a
passenger trains will stop there, in whic
case some arrangement ought to be made
II have our street cars run to the new depot.
II is to be regretted that grand Unto
r. Depot could not be built, somewhere
town, for all the railroads. Perhaps til
will be done sOmetims,-And in the hop
d that this will ultimately be the case it i
= perhaps, well that only a small cheap SffA
is now to be erected.

uncouple some cars which were in motion,
he slipped and fell upon the track, and sew

could be stopped. His head and right arm
were completely severed from his body, and
lay outside the track when he was discOv-

ORIGIN OF LOTTERIES.

The Romans were the first to invent lot |
.eries, for the purpose of enlivening their
Ssturnaliss-a festival instituted in CON-
incarceration of the freedom and equality
which prevailed on earth in the golden
reign Of Saturn and which they began by
the distribution ofticksts to all classes, all
Of which drew some prize. The lotteries of
Augustus were not held in great favor, as
the prizes were of little value; bat Nero
established some for the people in which
thousands of tickets were distributed daily,
and many of the fortunate became wealthy
for life. Heliogabulus instituted similar
lotteries in which the prizes we're either of
great value or utterly worthless one gained
g prize of six slaves and another of six
flies; some got vases Of great value, others
of com mon earth. There we're no blanks
and the inequality of prizes was designed to
exhibit the inequality with which fortune
distributed her favors, aud had no
object other than amusement. Later
lotteries were established for cEaritA-
bic or benevolent purposes. The frat OF
which we have any account was drawn
in England in 1869 from the west
door Of St. Paul's Cathedral, aud consisted
of forty thousand tickets at forty shillings
each. The profits Of this lottery we're sp
piled towards improving the harbors. In
1912 King James appointed n lottaYv IN he
drawn at the same place for the establish
/ ment Of English colonies in Virgins, the
: principal prize being four thousand crownt
!, in plate. In this country lotteries have beer
! perfected until they have become q regular
and legitimate business and many deserv
s ing family have been placed above want b.
' them. Among those that stand frat is Pat
g tee & Co., of Neb., who are Endorsed b.
S the Governor and best business men in tn,
7 State. Their lottery is especially popula
on account of their large cash gifts and ID,
e small number of tickets sold for each draw
f ing. Their Last Chance" as will b,
= seen by an advertisement in this paper, On
4 sists of $l07, 800, divided into prizes vary
a ing from twenty dollars to forty th0usdn,
It dollars. This is their most brilliant sch EN-
/ and affords all q chance to become pOssesso
;. of valuable prize. They are recommends
1t as reliable in every particular, so non
who desire need hesitate to order tickets c

Is psculiasly adapted to every disease of the
lungs and liver which is produced by oar 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 race-consnmption. Day after day
year after year, the insatiste monster hurries
so 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 its death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food fer this common enemy of mankind.
The white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
persnes has rendered his system inPervious to
the attacks of other ills, and whose good deeds
prepared him for the enjoyment Of life's calm
evening, finds consumption fastening its fangs
upon his vitals, aud tearing him from a world
ever bright to minds which look comPlacsntly
on days we'll spent.
! Consumption in its confirmed and incipien'
stages, coughs, asthma, group, and liver com
pIaiDt form by far the most fatal class Of dii
eases known to our land. Yet even those m ay
be cured by means of the simple yet powerful
rsmedies that are scattered wherever these NAL
aides prevail.
