POLICE COURT,
Before E. C. cropper, Police Magistrate.

Monday May lS-There was large and
excited crowd in the police court this
morning Last night at - clock, Depu-
ty Kimball took the night squad to what
is called the gravel house, miserable
tenement on the bank of the river little
above the Water Works Engine House,
and, surrounding the house, took its in
mates Ann Richardson, Martha Swisher.
James Dunn and Charles During to jail !;
also two other men found outside the
house on the steps or near the door, viz
Frank III. Smith and Charles H. Lindwall.
The two women were fined $l5 each for
keeping house of ill-fame; Dunn SO and
During S., for frequenting the house.
They all went back to jail
Smith and Lindwall were not put in jail
last night but were permitted to go home
on their promise to appear this morning.
They appeared and were discharged.
During the examination Ann made some
of the lookers-on hide their diminished
heads by pointing to them and abiding tO
their knowledge of her. She was particu-
larly severe upon one of our new police
men, saying that he came to her house
one morning about o'clock and offered
her S. to stay with her, but she rejected
his proposition" She said he remarked
that she might get into trouble sometime
| and had better be friends with him, for she
could then depend upon his assistance tc
| help her out. She said that she didn
know his name, but he had Number OF
his cap. Deputy Kimball says that ''NC

The Rock Island Glass Works

1t will be good news to our people that
by an amicable arrangement between the
Glass Works Company and employees work
has been resumed. Fires were lighted on
Saturday, and blowing will commence as
soon as sufficient heat can be raised. Ev-
erything is all right and satisfactory now,
and We hope will 50 continue. The glass
made here is so much superior to that of
any other place in the United States that
there is little difficulty in selling all that
can be made. The only trouble is to make
it so as to sell it as low as Pittsbnrg. When
that can be done there is no trouble in find
ing sale, as our glass is so much clearer and
better.

The Bellows House Enlarged.

The popularity of the Bellows House.
corner Market Square and Orleans street,
is such that the proprietors have found it
necessary to enlarge it. A handsome
three story brick addition has been made,
on Orleans street, which gives them new
dining room 24x4S feet and 10 handsome
sleeping rooms, all well lighted and venti-
lated This new dining room will be a
prominent feature of the house, fronting
4S feet on Orleans, and being lighted on
both sides. Of course it will be pleasant
and airy in summer, and having 48 feet of
southern exposure will also be very pleas
ant in winter. There is cellar under the
whole. A one-story brick room connects
the dining room with the cook house, which
can be used for carving and preparing
dishes for the table. Swing doors at each
end of this room will keep out all drafts OF
disagreeable odors from the cooking de-
partment. This improvement will add
generally to the comfort and capacity Of
the Bellows House.
!, From the Office door has been cut te
, the adjoining hall and into what is now
used as barbers shop, which room, al
soon as the new part is completed, will b.
, used as a gentlemens reading and writing
room--a very very much needed room
The present dining room will be converted
into BARRIERS shop and bath room, leav
ing enough of the rear for one good larg'
room for commercial travellers to exhibi
samples of their goods.

WILTSHIRE ON THE WINNING SIDE.

Hon. W. w. Wiltshire was the only man
in the Arkansas delegation who, at Wash
ington, stood up for Baxter, and the re-
suit has placed him in position of great
prominence and influence. A very inter
esting telegram, to be found in this paper,
from Washington to the St. Louis Repub-
Hcan, lntimates that Judge Wiltshire is in
possession of facts which will make il
mighty hot for the Clayton ring. If this
be true, Judge Wiltshire owes it to him
self and to the country to expose the ras
cality of that gang. He will miss grea
opportunity if he neglects to do it.

SELF-EvIDENT.-Ift two cans are of the
same size and both are full it is selt-evi-
dent that one contains as much by measure
as the other, although one being filed with
heavy substances may weigh many ounces
more than the other. Now, as Dr. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is put up in cans as
large, and hold as much by measure as
other kinds, and as baking powder is used
by measure (teaspoonfuls), and not by
weight if all were of the same strength,
one would go as far as the other; but as
DIR. Prices is as effective, by using two
teaspoonfuls as most kinds are with three,
then it is selfevjdent that there is one third
saved in using his powder. Housewives
find that aside from its excellence aud
healthfulness that two cans of DIR. Price S
is equal to three cans the same size of the
weighty kinds. A trial will prove this, land
also that Dr. Prices True Flavoring Elk

Though combinations, strong as proofs

sands of the sea shore, were produced to-
prove that the proprietor OF DIR. Sage 8
Catarrh Remedy is in earnest, and means
what he says, when he offers $500 for any
case of catarrh which he cannot cure, yet
there would be some skeptics and fogle.s
who would continue to shout "Hanaoug

Homespun says catarrh cannot be cured,
Now. this DR. Homespun is the Identical,
good natured old fellow who honestly be-
reeves and persists in declaring that this
earth is not round or spherical. but as nat
as ''slap Jack" and does not turn over,
otherwise the water would all be spllied
out of Deacon Bascom's mill pond. but
astronomical science has proven that Ut.
Homespun is wrong in surprising the eartn
to be fat and stationary, and medical SCI
ence is daily proving the fact that ne Is no
less mistaken and behind the times in re-
gard to the durability of catarrh, in short
it has positively been proven that this
world moues, and that medical science Is
progressively opinion of DIR. Homespun
to the contrary. That Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy will cure catarrh, thousands who
have used it attest.

You will find it in drug stores all over the land.
