Consumption Is decay. soothing. eXpectorant
remedies only useful as pallatves they do not

are sometimes good, but they seldom wholly cure
In short, the very fret thing to be done is 10 STOP
THE DECAY; then apply the restorative, tonic and

merely the results, while the decay, which is the
cause, is eating up the life springsf

Is the New Government Bridge to be Ken,
Free or yote

1t is said upon good authority that inAu-
ences are being used at Washington to cnt
off the tide OF free travel across the new
government bridge. 1t is said also that
Representative Hawley, of the Rock Isl
and District, Is tavoring this influence
This being the case, and we believe il to
be, it is time our people were throwing
their influence into the scale. Nipety-nine
hundredths Of the people hereabouts want
the bridge to be kept free. None other
than the Ferry interests are opposed to it.
The people OF Rock Island, through their
Board of Trade, are to hold meeting
forthwith, and let their voice be heard in
Congress. Without doubt the people of
Davenport will do the same thing. Let rs
not sleep nor study over the matter but
come up at once in public meeting and do
likewise
Our Board of Trade will do its duty in
this important matter without delav.-

Either Grant. Helmbold. or a Circus

Washington Correspondence of the Chicag Times
WASHINGTON, Feb l3.-The President 3
new team, composed Of four handsome
bays, with gold-trimmed harness, made its
second appearance on the avenue this af
ternoon. Very wide and very white reins
controlled them, and the team surpasses
anything of the kind ever seen here.
About the only thing that ever came up to
it in style was Buchu Helmbold's turnout
with a gold trimmed harness also, which
was here four or five years ago. The
horses of the Presidents four in hand are
superior, and it is said the team can get
over the turf at three minutes gait.
Two of the horses, the leaders, have done
better than this on the private half mile
track south of the Executive Mansion, on
the White House lot, on more than one oc-
casion, and once, at least, President Grant
himself held the ribbons.
From the Capital.
Speaking OF the family, all the friends,
supporters, and dependents were startled
and gratified by the appearance of the
President S carriage upon the avenue last
week drawn by four spanking bays adorned
by silver mounted harness and white reins
of the most gorgeous description. The
new members of Congress, who are very
green, thought circus had arrived, while
residenters. remembering the carnival
jumped to the wild conclusion that Buchr
Hembold had reappeared in all his glory
rejuvenated by his own compound. We
