The New PANAooA. Modern science
having demonstrated that alcohol is meth
er food nor physic," but, on the contrary,
species of poison, the introduction OF a
potent tonic which is entirely free from il
is certainly subject for congratulation.
DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BrrrERs is a
medicine which may be fairly character
lied as an unobjectionable specific for
many distressing and dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore in
favor Of permitting the sale of alcohol for
medical purposes, are of opinion that Vim.
EGAR BITrERs poss esses all the efficacy as
an invigorant that has ever been even
claimed for spirituous s.imulants, and on
this account, as well as because of the sin
gular success which has attended its use in
dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders of the
bowels, nervous diseases, general debility,
and all maladies growing out of intemper-
ance, they warmly recommend it as re-
storative and Alternative Of SURPRISING ex-
cellence.

We have heard that Henderson has
written a letter in which he positively de-
cares that he will in no event be a candi-
date against Hawley. Ii this be true, and
he keeps his pledge, it seems quite posi-
Die that Hawley will yet be the Republi-
can candidate in this district, for Lypde
does not appear to have any strength out
side of Rock Island county. Sould Hen
derson 60 into the convention, however,
his chances for the nomination, so far as
appears on the surface, are very good, al
most certain,if supported by his own coun-
ty. The question is. apparently, whether
his desire for the nomination is stronger
than his regard for his written pledge.

Death of a Most Estimable Lady.

At 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon there
died in this city one of the most estimable
ladies it has ever been our good fortune to
know-Mrs. Ann Jack, notice of which
will be found in another part of this paper
Mrs Jack was a native of Edingburgh,
Scotland; was married to the late Capt.
Charles Jack, in Virginia, and cane to H.
lnois in 1891 Capt, Jack was finely
educated gentleman and man of great
energy and business capacity. In early
times they resided at or near Peoria af-
forwards at Shabony's Grove, in Henry
county. Capt. Jack was afterwards a
resident of Texas, but returned to this
State before his death, which occurred
several years ago, For some years past
Mrs Jack has been an inmate of Mr.. Bur-
rails family,in this city. She was mem.
Der of the Presbyterian church, and lady
greatly beloved by all who knew her. Her
kindness and consideration for the poor
and the unfortunate were the subject OF
praise from everybody, and her charities
were numerous and well bestowed The
church received considerable aid from her
as we'll as our public library and many 9TH
err needy ADMINISTRATIONS The well pa
CODA in Market square were also gift
from her Her memory is very dear to
all who ever were honored with her con
fidence and friendship.
We are not informed as to her children
but remember that Mrs. Harris, wife o
Hon. Charles Harris. formerly member o.
congress from this district, and Mrs. Ell
lott, of Kiethsburg were her daughters
Both died years ago, and Mrs Burial We
think is her only surviving child.

The story has been started by llawley
Lynde delegates from this county who
finding there is no possible chance fol
Lynde to got the nomination, will favor
Hawley's nomination rather than this
county should lose the congressman. The
inion Indignantly denies that there are
any such men in the delegation, says ''the
Republican county convention unanimous
ly tabled Ia resolution to that effect = that
the delegates are for Lynde first last and
all the time, and more of the same sort,
thus indicating that if they cannot get
Lynde nominated they don't want anybody
from this county.

Now is the winter of our discomfort il.
the form of colds, coughs and pulmonary
complaints, and in halls, streets, churches,
or wherever men do mostly congregate,
there you hear chores, of coughing, with
full symphony of sneezing, How much
mischief arises from neglected colds, I'M
regarded coughs, and the consumptive in
the coffin, perhaps, would have been well
and hearty now if, when it was but a
cough, he or she had taken bottle of Mas

Under the above heading the Union con-
cludes an article on the squabble among
the Republicans as follows:
AS the situation is at present Mr.. Haw-
ley has 2l votes and there are AZ against
| him. The chances are not therefore in
his favor. Judge Lynde takes the lead
with u votes, and Gen. Henderson follows
with %. And US Gen. Henderson is not
a candidate, and even if he were to for
mally enter the field at this late day he
could not be nominated, his friends, after
giving tim a complimentary vote, will in
all probability divide between Lynde and
Hawley, according to their preferences,
1t is reasonable, we think, to take it for
granted that at least ten out of the TWEEN
ty-two votes will be for Judge Lynde,
which are all that are required to nomin-
ate him."
This is a very different state of affairs
from that claimed by the friends of Mr..
Hawley. They say that he will stand
first, Henderson second, and Lynde third
At any rate Hawley and Henderson to
gether have more than two thirds of the
convention and they will probably fix up
the nomination between themselves. If
Henderson is not anxious to 90 to congress
now, Hawley will be nominated. If Hen
derson thinks this is his best chance, then
i1awley' friends may give him the nomin-
alton. But it would not surprise us icon
siieriug that the Union SAYS Henderson
has given written promise not to be a
candidate this year g. see en- ugh Of Hen
dersou's nominal friends finally vote for
iIawley to give him tue nomination. 1t
would not probably require more than ten
to do it. Next Tuesday will decide the
matter-and after that the people willagree
upon a man who will beat whoever the
Republicans shall nominate.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
A Proposition to Fix tho Rate Of Taxation at
Forty Per Cent. Of Fair Cash Valuation.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug 26.-The State
Board of Equalization met this morning,
and Mr.. Derickson, of Cook county offered
a resolution fixing the rate Of taxation for
this year at 40 per cent. of the fair cash
value of the property of the state. He
supported his resolution by figures taken
from official sources, from fifteen or twenty
counties which went to show that his prop
osition was founded upon fact. He at
tempted to demonstrate that corporations
were subjected to double taxation under
the rules of the Board, and desired that
corporation property should be subjected
to the same rate of taxation that other
property was, and no mere. The resolu-
ton was laid over, and the Board adjourn
ed until tomorrow.

A NATIVE voLcANo.-Rumors have been
rife for some days past that we are likely, to
have a real live volcano in North Carolina.
A dispatch from Salisbury, N. C., says The
vcinityof Bald Mountain, in the county Of
Mcdowell, near Marion 1.-THE county seat. has
for several days past been greatly agitatcd
over mysterious noises and rumblings in the
bowels of that mountain. One report from
scientific scource states that these internal
noises resemble those heard III Mount Etna
preparatory TO volcanic eruption. The
people in that section have become So mncb
alarmed that families residing Immediately
around the base OF the rumbling mountain
have taken up their necessary domestic arti-
cles and fled preciptately from the threatened
impending eruption. Throughout the entire
country, and for distance Of sixteen miles
from the mountain, extending into adjoining
counties, these sounds are not only heard. but
the trembling and reverberations Of tho e eart,
are preceptibly felt. In numerous instances
for several miles from tho mountain, tho
glasses have ratified in the windows, and the
dishes have been shaken from the shelves
to such an extent as to create the most vide
spread CONSERVATION among the rural inhabi-
tants. This has again caused d still greater
stampede of the citizens, many Of whom su.
perstitiously regard the terrible symptoms as
an indication Of Judgment Day" a mass
enger on the western train states that ii i
pitiful sight to see the poor, unsophisticait,ed
rustics flying in such great terror, while at N,
same time he believes that the cause Of III,
stampede is not without its due foundation
The latest accounts from the disturbed noun
tain state that, so far, there has been no vol
canic eruption Of lava or fire, though the ter
rife noise and internal rumblings, heard al
distance, were SO great on Tuesday mornin,
as to indrco the belief that 4 veritable an ~,
genuine volcanic outbreak had taken place
The excitement throughout the entire wester
section of the State is intense and many pee
pie are repairing to the scene in the hope q
witnessing for the first time grand polcauI
eruption.
