Of every malady This is due, in part, to
the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the di-
gestive function necessarily disorders the

A Sneak Thief Captured.

Last evening (the 5th) about half past
six o'clock, Policeman Murrin found man
in the lower part of the city with quanti-
ty of harness which he had been trying to
dispose of. Suspecting that he was thief
and the property stolen, he arrested him
and took him to Jail and took possession OF
his plunder. This morning Stewart Dart,
of the firm of Dart & Gregg, identified a
considerable portion of the harness as the
property of that firm, it having been stolen
from their stable. rear Of their store. The
balance of the property is in possession OF
the City Marshal, who requests people who
have lost articles of harness to call
on him and look at it and iden,
tify it if they can. 1t is reported that the
thief had other property of this KIND III
his possession some days ago. which he
NAV have sold. The Marshal cautions peo-
pie against buying anything of strangers
without knowing who owns the property
The arrested mans name is Henry Cation

Iowa penitentiary, Hehas wife and tw'
children, who have lived in ttis city fo1

1t is laughable enough to witness how
the Chronic Mudheod founders through a
column of his own figures to prove that
Murdock was a more economical mayor
than Davenport. He, of course, has to
guess at indebtedness-but even with his
guesses he will fail to prove that it is bet
ter to pay big taxes than small taxes.
The city clerk will soon make state
ment to the public, from the books, which
will be reliable He thinks the indebted,
ness on the 1st Of this month was about
the same as when Mr.. Davenport came
into Office, and that on the first Of March
it will be about $4,000 less.
In the meantime, let the Chronic Mud
head continue his effort to convince tn
people that they ought to elect somebod.
for mayor who will impose heavier taxes OIL
them. That is what he is trying to con
vince them they should do.

To feed this large number of animals re-
ouired $4,000 bushels of corn, and 500 tons
of hay, by which it will be seen that the
wards afford quite market for argrlcultu

Gradually the Republican press of the
country is coming to the late conclusion
that the Louisiana business is too
heavy a load for the party to carry.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says develop
ments have made it perfectly clear that
Uurell's midnight order was illegal, and
adds: ''The truth is that this business can
not be hushed up or talked down. 1t has
for too long time overloaded the Repub,
lican party The whole country is feeling
the disgrace of it, and every Republican
paper in the country which does not stick a

clares that these Louisiana frauds must b.

that no party could long sustain them ant

they will be, the country and the RepubE
