tnat lts wool cuts are examples of the
highest perfection ever attained. The
common prejudice in favor Of steel plates

discriminating taste which recognizes the
advantages and superior artistic QUALITY
with greater facility Of production. Tho
wotal.cuts Of tho ALDlSE poseess all the
delicacy and elaborate finish Of the most
costly steel plate, while they afford a bet.
ter rendering of the artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work
which tue Aldine is doing for the cause Of
art culture in America, it ia only ueces.
sary TO consider the cost to the people of
any other decent representations Of the
productions of great painters.
In addition to designs by tho members
Of tho National Academy and other noted
American artists, the Aldine will repro
duce examples Of the best foreign masters.

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and respondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn. of
every known malady. This is due, in part,
to the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part al
so to the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive functions necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system.

The wise men Of the last years Moline
City Council enacted a license ordinance
fixing the sum at 500, which is $500 above
the limit Of the State law. Quite num-
Der of saloon keepers took license, paid
5000 cash down, giving their notes for the
balance, on time. Before the notes be
came due they were advised that the Mo
line ordinance was illegal and that, Of
course, the notes could not be collected.
We are told that the saloon keepers, not
wishing to have any litigation, offered to
compromise by paying 800, each, which
would be the limit of the State law, but
that this was refused by the Moline author
tiles, and the notes sued. Judge Peasants,
in three of the suits, against John Hard
ing, Charles Reese and 7. Hiessler, has
decided that the ordinance was illegal be-
cause it exceeded the limit of the State
law, and that the notes are void There
are eleven other cases of the same sort, in
which Proud Moline is destined to be
defeated.

Does It Pay?

Every Sunday, large numbers Of people
from this city and Moline visit Davenport
and spend the day there, at some of the
numerous beer gardens or shady groves
where rest, recreation and health come to
the weary laborer of the long and toisome
week. Our hotels, too, are suffering the
loss Of some 10 to 20 travellers every Sun
day in consequence Of the espionage of a
set of Puritanical people who are vastly
troubled about the manner in which their
neighbors live. 1t is probably within
bounds to say that one thousand dollars are
lost to this side of the river and gained to
the others side every Sunday, in consequence
of the crusade. Does it pay? Are there
any less people who take their glass of beer
in consequence Of the crusade? Are the
morals of the people improved by the re-
suits produced by the crusade ?
