Habeas Corpus.

Some weeks ago one John J, Trier was
arrested on charge Of attempting to commit
a rape on the person Of Frederick 4.
Brown, and incarcerated in our county jail,
being, of course, unable to procure pail.
On Monday he was brought before Judge
Peasants on a writ of habeas corpus, to in
quire if there was probable cause of guilt.
The hearing resulted in his discharge, the
evidence not being sufficient to warrant
probable cause of guilt. The testimony Of
Frederick proved very shaky.

CRoUP. Almost daily we are called upon
to chronicle the death of some lo.ed one, by
this dreadful disease, which often takes its
victim away from loving parents, with only
very short notice. Every mother should
supply herself with Goes Cough Balsam,
for it is no exaggeration to say it will cure
ninety-nine cases in every one hundred, il
taken in season. There are very many
mothers who will tell you they owe the life
of some dear one to this wonderful medi-
cine One very desirable quality is. that
it leaves no bad effect, it being perfectly
harmless In cases of cough, hoarseness,
or tickling in the throat it has no equal.

A German Bank in Rock Island

There is a good deal of wealth among
our German-American citizens and they
are talking Of starting a bank. Some Of
them held a meeting in Turner Hall last
Sunday evening to talk over the matter,
and it was determined to 60 ahead with
the project. Tomorrow evening they have
another meeting at Turner Hall to agree
upon the final plan for starting at once.
We believe they intend TO organize com
pany under the general incorporation law
Of this State, for doing a general deposit
business, buying and selling exchange,
loanlng money, etc. ETC., and start at once,
and at some future time procure authority
to issue bills under the National Banking
Law. We presume they will have a saw
ings institution connected with their bank.

How simple the process, how obvious the con-

We have the direct statement OF Member OF

under discussion in that body. President Grant
distinctly expressed to him his inability TO APP

he proposed to veto it. His REASONS were first,
chat he doubted its constitutfonality second,
that even if il were constitutional, he was con-
tinced it would not benent the people TO whose
help it was ostensibly directed. He perceived
plainly that instead Of making secure to the
solored people the enjoyment of an equality in
eiyil rights, it would awaken and freshly inlame

have already suffered go much.
In this latter view, the President was right.

skss Alkaline Trafton's serial story, "katherine
Earle which has been running in Scribner's
Monthly for several months, is completed in the
October number, and Messrs. Lee & Shepard
have brought 1t out in, an elegantly bound fresh
looking volume. We referred to the story three
or four months ago, and quoted several passages
that made evident reference 70 our city and
some OF its neutrality-suspicious. the Wes-
leyan Female Colege-amons which the later
scenes are located.
The story is smooth, graceful, aud entertain
ing. The characters are well sketched, the lines
Of each being drawn with clearness and not a
little strength. 1t lacks, no doubt, in
dramatic ability; much more effective the
several 'stuations" and crises might have been
made in the hands of skillful workman in such
material but we are not going to complain.
The volume will be of special interest to such OF
our literary people OF Wilmington AZ did not
read the story as serial, and we commend 1t TO
them as an entertaining and pleasant Notion.

stated that the author If the daughter oil liev.

actly what materials there are waiting for hia
genius, but we do remark the fact that they
abound. Some Of them are being used-and
well used.--by Mr.. John Esten Cooke, OF Virgin
10, whose literary reputation is not newly made,
| but who has justly earned repute as writer OF
some good works OF fiction. This latest volume,
Justin Harley" is one of hs best, and lays hold
| of some threads of romance in the life
OF the Old Virginia that are thrilling
/ and exciting enough. lie says IN his
| Preface that the incidents that form

class of true things that are stranger than tic

more of who has passed through moderate

ers in the confidence Of intimate intercourse.
| Without more than this suggestion OF tn
character of this new story of the Old Virginia
whose romance, divorced from its sins, gains in
creased halo Of interest as it recedes in the dis

traction of illustrations by W. L. Sheppard, on
