So that ordinary pain is a luxury to have.
Magic Oil in Dyspepsia gives feeling so calm.

The claims that 1t made caused wondrous alarm.

ROCK ISLAND,
The City Short Of Water.
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune
RocK,IsLAND, Nov, sa,-No little comment was
excited in the city this morning BY the aiscovely
that the water supply had ceased, owing 70 ,he MS
ngenee OF the employees Of the Water WORKS, VINO
had allowed sand bar te accumulate over the
principal feed-pipe, A false alarm OF nre Wa
raised at A N, The frepressufe was immedia's E,
ly put on exhausiing the water In the reservoir ID
q few minutes and pumping up quantity OF sand
from the flter-bed. The fre-engine was imme
diately placed at work pumping water into the poll
ers In the engine room, and force of men employ
cd to clear the feed-pipe, During the present low
stage of water in the river permanent supply can
only be depended on BY laying ieeaPipe urine 1s
pumps instead OF the hiter-beds, giving the people
untitled water.
REMARKS BY THE ARGUS.
With three exceptions the above is cor
rect
!. The water supply did not cease al
ALT was only lacking in quantity anc
force; it never ceased.
2. A furious northwest wind drove float
ing ice into the channel to the filters, pillow
ing up sand and filling up the passage
The employees could not prevent the wint
from blowing, nor the ice from forming, no
the river from falling, nor the sand iron
floating.
3. There was no false alarm Of fire.
With these corrections the above tele
gram is well enough. The person VIII
/ sent it evidently had more anxiety tomak
a point against the management of tn
water works than he had TO furnish a
item Of newsstand in doing so he tell
graphed three distinct and malicious falst
hoods.

for bill OF merchandise of S10O; he ;witnessl
appeared and confessed that ne owed Burch
SIP and was willing 10 give security for its paw
ment on october /; nOtwithsta 1ding this iury,
two OF whom were also witnesses, was sum
rOned by Constable Maryman, and they gave
judgment against deponent for slC0 and costs;
on the following day an execution was issued
by Justice William Martin, and an officer pro-
ceeded TO levy upon the stock of goods formerly
by deponent, but finding that they had
been sold before the commencement of the suit,
the levy was not made; depOnent believes the
whole proceedings to have been illegal, and in
sutdted Tor the simple purpose of making costs;
since witness never denied his obligation to
Burch for Sl22.
Justice johnson testified that the case was
ruled away from Justice Martin to witness on a
charge of venue; tim case was called on Septem-
Der 18th and w'-ness -ued vepire on the mo-
uon OF plaintiff for jury to Try the case several
Witnesses testified that the am""Tt nj the bill
was over SlC0, but that Clarke had several times
paid omething on account of it; after charging
the jury he lett the room, and they returned
for plaintiff for S1C0 and costs; defend ant
made no etfOrttO challenge the jury, and when
asked by depOnent if he T?S IGady 20 proceed
TO trial, said that he was willing ID submit the
case To the Jury.
