DE-. p1ERcR's FAvoRIrE PRESCRIPTION

is very strongly recommended by the Med
ical Faculty and is largely prescribed
among their female patients. 1t is worthy
of all confidence as may be seen by the
following testimonial:
ATLANTA. H., July IA, 1873.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sri have not words to express
my gratitude to you for your advise and as
sistance in my case. There is not one who
has used your medicines since they have
been brought here but that can say with
me they have been greatly benefited.
Since l have been so helped by its use six
or seven around me left off all doctors and
other medicines, and now use it in their
families, after being cured of the same
disease as mine You do not know what a
wonder it created in our city, by its restor-
ing my sister wrote you about, for she
had been under the care of three of our
best doctors but could not sit up but for a
few minutes at one time begged of hel
to try your medicines, and before she had
used half of the bottles she could 90 all
around the yard, and has now just come
from visit five miles away
! Mrs THos. MCFARLAND.

City Councll-This Evening

There will be an informal meeting of the
City Council this evening, at u o'clock, at
the Council room, to consult with the Cit
zens' Committee of Arrangements for the
Canal Convention, to be held tomorrow
In making up the list of delegates, the
Board of Trade and the Citizens Meeting
did not appoint any member of the new
city council for the reason that the
council would, at the proper time,
choose its own delegates. The members
OS the new council have held no meeting
for business since they were sworn into of
fee. They met on the 10th and took the
oath of Office, but transacted no business.
The informal meeting tonight is exclu-
sively for matters connected with the Ca
nal Convention, and DIR. Gait, our new
Mayor, expresses the hope that every
member of the Council and of the Com
mittee of Arrangements will be present.

Putting out a Stern line,

The owners of water powers at Sterling
and Rock Falls are trying to lay founda-
tion for big damages from Uncle Sam, as
witness the following:
Special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
STERLING, ILL.,, March 2O-The people
OF this city are very much excited over the
proposed Canal Convention at Rock Island
on the oath inst. 1t is proposed to attend
it enmasse, and protest against any project
that shall take from Rock River any of its
water. The manufacturers of Sterling
and Rock Falls use all the water there is,
and during the past three years the supply
has been so short, a large part of the time.
that mills had to run on short time. Any
attempt TO take water from this river to feed
canal will be resisted by the Rock River
Valley south of this, to the bitter end.
The hostile feeling is increasing.

HEART DISEASE persons suffer
from heart disease without knowing it
suddenly drop off, and their friends are as
tonished, on post mortem examination, to
learn that they died of heart disease. The
heart, like the brain, is the seat of life
its diseases are of several characters. The
most common are valvular diseases, fatty
degeneration, and functional arrangement.
1t the liver becomes deranged, and diges-
ton is impaired, the heart through SYM
pathy and juxtaposition. becomes abnor-
NAL. The following symptoms indicate ap-
preaching disease: palpitation, giddiness,
taintness, nervous, prostratisn, deranged
digestion, vertigo, cold extremities, etc,
etc., for which the old school will admins
ter iron, opium, antmion, mercury, and
many otheral poisons. Heart disease is a
blood disease-purify the blood; remove
instructions to limpid circulation by tax
ing that Vegetable Alternate, VINEGAR
BITTERs. and you will be sound person
in two or three months.

PRINCIPLE IGNORED.
Afraid that High License Will Hurt their
Party.

The Republican of6ce-holders' and Office
seekers ring in Rock Island appear in the
Union yesterday morning with a communi-
cation signed MANY Republicans" in
which they discuss the license question
solely with reference to Its effect upon
their party, thus eonfessing that they
would make the temperance movement
subservient to party, and act upon it with
reference to its effect on their party nomi-
nees at the ballot box. That communica-
ton is confession of the utter corruption
of old arty managers, and the utter want
of principle upon question of interest to
every citizen. 1t proves that just so long
as party politics control our nominations
for city or township officers, just SO long
the whisky interest will hold the balance
of power and throw its influence where its
interest lies. Men and women Of
both parties, who are now engaged in this
temperance movement, have too long
cringed to the party lash of the office-h hold.
ing ring and yielded up their independence
at the dictation of party clique. When
they should have stepped to the front, in
the peoples independent movement, they
stood aloof and let the party wire workers
run the machine. They make a great
parade of their temperance principles
when it does no good. And when they
should step to the front and aid in break.
ing down party nominations and party pol
itics in our local elections. they stink away
at the crack of their party committee
mems whips and leave the hummer ele-
ment to manage public affairs And just
so long as they do this, just SO long they
will be beaten in their efforts to restrain
and control traffic which works incalcula-
BILE injury to the community. When the
moral and temperance element, in both
parties, shall rise superior to the whip
snappers who lord it over them, kick party
to the dogs, and join in peoples move
ment, they can accomplish something in
the direction they desire--but not till then.
The liquor interest never took party view
of the matter in any election. The men
who deal in the article are too sharp for
that. They make foot ball of parties
and throw their influence for the men who
favor their traffic and pay them best. And
the temperance men and women are SC
fearful of hurting the party" that they
are made the tools of the liquor interest al
every election. AS long as they prefer
party to principle they will continue to be
made tools of.

Gov, Bross Coming.

kilograms and letters continue to pour
in at the Harper House for rooms for del
egates to the canal convention. Among
the notables who telegraphed this morning
for rooms was Ex-Lieut Gov. Bross, of
this State. 1t is more than probable that
all the hotels and restaurants of the four
cities will have more than they can do, and
it may be that citizens of the Quadrilateral
will have to open their doors to those who
cannot find hotel room.

NOTES HERE AID THERE.

Very cold night, last night
-Four steamboats, here this morning.
Father Boylan had very large au d.
ence last night, at st. Mary's church, at
so cents each, to listen to a lecture on
Father Mathew and he gave US about as
much in relation to Father Mathew as to
Sinbad the Sailor. IF the societies got the
money it is all well enough-butf for people
to pay so cents each for such lecture as
that was-made up of silly stories haying
little or no reference even to the cause of
temperanee-and intersperced with wan
dering remarks having neither point, pith
or eloquence, was hardly fair on those who
paid. 1t is not quite the thing to adver-
tise such speaker as the distinguished
Irish orator. and claim that his liability"
entities him to large audience. He is no
orator, is very poor speaker, showed no
ability whatever and could not fill house,
admission free. if he were to lecture again.
The cause he advocates is good and every
body should sustain it, His zeal in the
cause is undoubted- it is bad enough
to listen to his style of oratory without
paying for ii.

THE ABoRN-The new Aborn House at
Des Moines is now under the management
of Maj G. B. Brown, formerly landlord of the
Slavery. The Aborn contains one hundred
large rooms furnished at a cost of over
$4,000, and is recognized as one of the
best conducted and most convenient houses
in the West. Maj. Brown has secured a
long lease of the Aborn and under his
management its future promises bright.
Long experience as hotel man, pleasant
conversational powers and good business
qualifications. serve to make the Major a
successful and popular landlord. His old
time friends and the public generally will
find the Aborn pleasant home.

The new township organization law as
finally passed is better for large towns than
at first reported. 1t reads as follows:
I'm any town having four thousand in
habitants, there shall be elected one addi-
tional supervisor to be styled assistant su-
pervisor in towns having six thousand
inhabitants there shall be elected two as
sistant supervisors and so, for every
twenty FIVE hundred inhabitants there shall
be elected one additional supervisor-the
population of towns to be ascertained by
the last federal or State census preceding
the election"
1t will thus be seen that 5000 inhabi-
tants gives us four supervisors, l 800 gives
us five, $4,000 gives US six,-and so on.
We have population enough now for FIVE,
but the census of 1870 shows only 1899,
and of course we cannot claim but three
until after the census of 1875.
This law will ultimately give Rock ISL
and and Moline little fairer representa-
ton, though not what they deserve. 1t is,
however, an acknowledgment of the prin-
ciple that representation should be
somewhat in proportion to population and
taxation-and the law was obtained in con-
sequence of the agitation of that subject
by HE ARGUS for the past two years
