Some man with small family and
little capital to buy furniture, could do well
to hire the two upper stories in Buford S
block, and fit up nice furnished rooms to
let by the week, month or year, and live
there and take care of the rooms There
is good demand for such rooms, and it
would be a good investment for the right

HOTTENTOTS GATHERING BUCHU for
Helmbold's Extract has become almost a
historical picture. The great consumption
of DR.. Helmbold's Buchu attests the i'm
portant fact that thousands upon thous-
ancs need diuretic medicine. For Drop
sy, Gravel, Kidney Complaint, and all di-
seases of the urinary organs, either in male
or female, there has never been remedy
equal to Helmbold's Buchu Its imita-
tors are mere trash. Helmbold's is the
old reliable standard remedy. For sale by
all druggists.

VERY SMART rs JOHN 3. HAW1EY
Shall the Railroad Bridge
Be Frees
A Telegram from Congressman
McCreary.

No sooner had THE ARGUS exposed John
b. Hawley's scheme to forward the inter
ests of his masters-the Ferry Company,
by opposition to making the railroad bridge
free to the public, than Mr.. Alex. Steel
wrote Mr.. Hawley letter, enclosing the
article from THE ARGUS, and probably
telling him at the same time to favor ma
king the bridge free or it would kill him,
politically, at home
Mr. Hawley, having once felt the force
of fight with the people on the subject,
hastens to Congressman McCreary, who,
at Hawleys personal request, telegraphed
as follows:
WAsHINGToN,D D. c. Feb 90, 1s74,-Mr. AIer Steel:
nave seen your letter to Mr. Hawey also the news
paper article referred to- Mr. Hawley never said a
WORD to me about closing restricting the of
the Rock Island Bridge, nor did | speak to Mr. Par
ker on that subject GEO. W. McCREARY.
A reporter from The ARGUS at once
LAID this telegram before Mr.. George HI.
Parker, Of Davenport, who read it care
fully and said
well, this telegram is we'll worded and,
strictly speaking, is true My conversation
was with Mr.. Cotton and Mr. McCreary
about bill for street railway over the
Bird &c and about Mr.. Cotton's bill making
the bridge free, and as the telegram states
not about restricting the use Of the bridge,
but it was about these bills making it free,
and Mr.. McCreary did say that Mr.,
Hawley was bitterly opposed to both bills,
and unless the people expressed them
selves in favor of a free bridge that Mr.
Hawley would be able to defeat the bills
Furthermore | promised to let the matter
be known and send him the result of the
peoples wishes. You can see the trick il
Mr.. McCreary's cleverly worded tel
gram and so will the people
Of Rock Island. Mr.. McCreary further
said that with some counter expression
from the people they would be able to de
feat Mr., Hawley's attempts to kill the bill
1t is true Mr.. McCreary did not have any
conversation with me upon that subject
| restricting the use, ETC., but he did tall
to me as | have lust told you.
Mr.. Parker further told our reporter h,
would be present at the meeting tomorrow
evening Let every citizen be present also
We have no quarrel with Mr.. Hawley, %
with what. Mr. McCreary did say or did no
say nor about kilograms but is Mr. Hawle
opposed to these bills and do the peopl
want these bills passed? and will their Con
gresham defeat them? Such is the oh
object of the meeting-no side issues O
tricky kilograms if you please-the peopl
are terrible in earnest on this subject.

Sovereigns Of Industry.

For the benefit of our mechanics and
their helpers, and the laborers, we pub
fish in this paper another article explana-
tory of the objects and principles of the
order of Sovereigns of Industry. Whether
this order is one which would benefit them
or not they must judge for themselves. 1t
might, perhaps, be well for them to open a
correspondence with the Council formed in
Chicago, and examine the matter.

If we may believe the latest telegraphic
reports, Henry Ward Beecher will not, even
now. "face tie music" We must confess
that we are inclined to believe the reports,
because the course indicated is so in keep
ing with Mr.. Beecher's entire course in ref
crencc to this scandal-although it may
prove that his past course, instead of act
ual information, forms the foundation of
the dispatch referred to. 1t is said that at
the proper time" he will publish state
ment to the effect that Mr.. Tilton is not to
blame Tor the q" misrepresentation which
have been made. This may satisfy Tilton,
but we don't believe it will, and we are sure
that The public will not rest satisfied on
this simple statement. The report goes on
to say that if Plymouth church is not salts
fed with this statement and comes to the
determination to reopen and investigate
the matter. that Mr.. Beecher will resign
and thus prevent an investigation. If this
would not be confession of guilt, we know
not what would be. But when taken in
connection with the abjcct apology made 10y
Beecher to Tlton-- published some days since
in our telegraphic columns-it would fur
nsh almost enough evidence of guilt to
secure Il conviction in a criminal trial. The
further ground that it is a private matter
between himself and MIR. 1'ilton with which
the public has nothing to do, might have
had some force two or three years ago. but
it is not tenabc now. The course of Mr.,

which the public have the right to know
the whole facts. That the dispatch has
something of authenticity and was inspired
by Mr.. Beechers friends is evidenced by
the fact that it is ntimated that the charges
are not OF so grave character ''as might
he Inferred from the published extract
from Mr. Beechcr's apology" This is
evidently thrown out as ''fcelcr' to dis

In our impression of yesterday we chron-
iclcd IA rumor to the effect that certain
titled lady has lost e100000 ut ecarte, and
that this viii necessitate the sale of a large
portion Of her husbands land, aud the re-
tircment of both from this country for "A
few years. Apart altogether from the
moral reflections which naturally suggest
themselves on the evils Of gambling, such
a glaring case as this leads one to speculate
why the law should make the property of
a woman inyiolate from her husband, while
man is legally and in honor bound to pay
such heavy stake for the disastrous friy
olity Of his wife. This solitary instance
reveals sad state of affairs, and il is pain
ful to to think Of the domestic misery. be-
yond the mere loss, which it entails. Men
of honor would hardly, under the circum-
stances, demand or accept the payment of
the debt incurred. On the other hand.
neither could man of honor shrink from
meeting such claim.
