Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most Infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and respondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn,
of every malady This is due, in part, to
the close sympas Thy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the d.
gestive function necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,
and effects, to some extent, the quality OF
the blood.

Opposed to HIM.

The Union announced on Saturday that
it was mot for Bailey Davenport for may
or. Mr.. Davenport is not yet candidate
for mayor, and it is reported that he has
said he does not desire the Office another
year He has shown the people that the
city can be run with one-half the taxes
that Murdoch run it and without increas-
ing the Indebtedness That is honor
enough. for the present-and that he has
accomplished.
1t did not startle anybody, however, to
read the Union announcement. Mr.. Dav-
export having been elected six times with
out the aid of that paper, the announce
ment was not calculated to greatly alarm
that gentleman's friends
The public know that the Union has
two convincing reasons for not liking Mayor
Davenport, viz: l. because he detected
and exposed its editor in collecting the
same bill twice from the city; and, 2, be
cause he kicked its editor out of the Ii
barry board, These two facts convinced
the editor of the Union that Mr.. Daven
port is not the right man for mayor. ]

like him, but we presume he will in the fu

The Sisters School,

To the Editors Of The Argus.
The semi-annual examination OF the pu-
pills attending the Academy of the lmmac-
ulate Conception in this city, commenced
on Monday last and ended this evening,
There was large attendance of citizens
every day who seemed gratifed at the ex-
traordinary proficiency of the little ladies.
The young ladies from Rock Island kept
up the reputation of the sister city, and if
one were physiognomist he would say that
a few of the parents and friends who were
here to-day were the happiest men in your
city. To particularize would scarcely be
fair, but the young ladies from your side
of the river may console themselves with
the knowledge that they did remarkably
well. The graduating class whose names
I give, viz Misses Mary Dolan, Glare
Orendorf, Maggie Johnston and Maggie
Mccarthy, exhibited wonderful knowl
edge of many abstruse studies, Geometry
Algebra, History, ancient aud modern
Philosophy, Chemistry, Geology and Eng
| Hsb and American literature.
The exercises closed with essays ant
songs, the singing led by the sweetest it'll
singer in Davenport-Miss Nellie Nelson

before, while never perhaps in its histor
have so many boarderS been in the estab
lishment. u.

(, 1t is really laughable to witness the OBJ
tuseness of the Union on the subject of ap-
pointments and removals of city officers.
1t says
Alderman Bell and the rest Of the council sat still
in their seats and permitted Bailey Davenport. by
arbitrary and Illegal exercise ef power. to re-
move the water commissioners.
The removal was not Illegal. 1t is au
thorized by law of this State which de-
clares that, ANY city officer, int elected
by the people or appointed by the Cover
nor or member of any board, may be re-
moved by the mayor a0heneoer, in his opin-
ION, the interests of the city may require
such removal.
1t was not permitted by the council,
for the council neither had nor could have
any control over the ren,oyaJ, or anything
to say about it. The council has something
to say about all appointments-the law re-
quires that all appointments, including po-
licemen, shaU be submitted to the council
for confirmation or rejection. And it re-
quires three fourths Of al the aldermen
authorized by law to be elected to con
firm any appointment The mayor has
not, as he ought to have done, submitted
the appointment of policemen to the coun-
ell. This he ought to do now But he is
no more censurabie than all his predeces
sors in this respect, for he has only follow
ed their precedents.
The mayor has the clear and undoubted
right to remove any city officer who is no
elected by the people or appointed by the
governor, at any time he pleases, under thu
act March 9, 1872, without trial, but HI
must report his action to the council will
his reasons. He can give any reason hi
pleases, and the council has nothing to d.
with his reasons any way, except TO receive
and file his report.
And the council also. has the right t.
remove any and all officers whether elect
ed or appointed by vote Of two-thirds Q
all the aldermen required by law to b
elected. But hearing must be given t
all except policemen-they can be removes
at any time, by the council, without motto
or hearing. And also by the mayor.
IF the Union cannot now comprehen
the matter we shall be happy to furt he
enlighten that much confused concern.

we notice one consignment OF carload OF
eggs OF II barrels and also some heavy
consignments of general produce. They
have established reputation for energy,
promptness. accuracy and hberality which
has secured to them a large and permanent
trade. Their method of conducting bust

are sure to continue their patronage. Ship

PAPER BOXES. The manufacture OF
paper boxes has become, within the past
few years, one of the most extensive as
we'll as the most useful and important to the
economy OF everybody Ten thousand ar
ticIes which reach customers in so conven-
lent form is an illustration Of this fact
Among the most extensive, and we may
say successful manufacturers in this line, is
Mr.. Henry Schultz, 81 State street, Chi
cago, who has spent years in bringing this
kind OF manufacturing to its present de-
gree Of perfection, and is the inventor and
owner of many improvements and patents.
He started in Chicago in 1859, and during
the great fire lost about $20,0 600. lie how
ever kept on and in less than a year was
back again on the South Side with the
prospect of larger trade than ever. So

About the Police.

Marshal Kimball having read the cen
sure of the Mayor in regard to the treat
ment of prisoners, says that the instructions
of the mayor, at the beginning of the year,
were that all persons must be treated hu-
namely, and these instructions have been
enforced by him 1.-THE marshall in all cases.
Mr.. kimbali says that no man has been
permitted to go on the force without frst
being instructed by him to be carefula about
using violence; that no force except such
as was barely sufficient to con-
troll a prisoner was TO be used ::
and that in no case should blows be
given unless as last resort and in self de-
Tense. And he says that he has reason to
believe that his instructions have been
obeyed, for no case has ever been reported
to him except the case Of Roatch-and he
at once preferred written charges on that.
We presume all remember the forbear-
ance of the marshal himself. under great
proyocation, in Staubacks Casa case
in which he would have been fully justified
in clubbing him severely. And we repeat
what we have before said--that Rock Isl
and never had so good a police force as
during the present year and that no veal
can be shown when so few crimes have
been committed or so little disorder pre-
vailed And it is because the police hav'
been careful, watchful and vigilant, ant
because we have had a sober and attentlv
marshal to set a good example and requir
obedience to his instructions.
