OF A
POLICEM AN.

have not enjoyed good health for several years
past yet have not allowed it to interfere with my
labor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the inconvenience of being obliged to labor
when the body, from debility, almost refuses to
perform its daily task. / never was a believer in
dosing with medicines /; but having heard the VEG
ETINE spoken of so highly, was determined to try
it. and shall never regret that determination. AS q
tonic (Which every one needs at some tme) it sur
passes anything ever heard of. Itinvigorates the
whole system it is great cleanser and purifier OF
the blood. There are many of my acquaintances
who have taken it. and all unite in praise of its sat
isfactory effect.
Especially among the aged class of people, it i'm
parts to them the one thing most needful In
old age-nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body. One
aged lady, who has been suffering through lie
from scrofula, and has become blind from its eff
fects, having tried many remedies with no favora-
BILE result, was induced by friends to try the VEsE
TINE. After taking few bottles, she obtained
such great relief that she expressed wish for her
sight, that she might be able to look upon The man
who had sent her such blessing.
Yours respectfully,
o. P. II. HODGE, Police officer, Station 6.

reputation, based on its intrinsic virtues,
and sustained by its remarkable cures.
So mild as to be safe and beneficial to
children, and yet so searching as to
effectually purge out the great corrup-
tions of the blood, such as the scrof-
ulous and syphilitic contamination.
Impurities or diseases that have lurked
in the system for years soon yield to
this powerful antidote, and disappear.

which are publicly known, of ScrOfula,

Heart Disease, Female Weak

when they are manifestations of the
scrofulous poisons.
1t is an excellent restorer of health
and strength in the Spring. By renew
ing the appetite and vigor of the diges-
tive organs, it dissipates the depression
and listless languor of the season.
Even where no disorder appears, people
feel better, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. The system moves on with
renewed vigor and new lease of life.

Couuudrums,

To The Editors of The Argus.
Will you permit Moline man to put a
few conundrums to the ReUieO and the
Union?
Is it likely that Charlie Wood held his
pistol nearer to the neck of Miss Davis
than he did (supposing he did it] to his
own forehead? If not, why was her hair
burned and his forehead not marked? In
endeavoring to account for the wherea
bouts of HASTE, from the attack on Miss
Davis to the finding the body of Wood, is
there not hiatus? Why did Hastie's
friends, before he was accused, impetuous-
ly rush into print to prove that he could
not have shot Wood ? If there is no doubt
about the matter, why has not HASTE de-
manded an investigation Miss Davis g
friends declare, through the Geneseo Re
public, that she told HASTE all about the
trouble, and that he loaded up his pistol
and went with her to the party, prepared
for the worst" Does not this look like
hunting for row? [ do not say that
Wood did not kill himself, but I say
there is a doubt about it. 1t may not be
of any particular Importance to solve the
doubt, and then again it may At any
rate | should like to see the Rerieao or the
Union try to answer the conundrums in
this note. aa

Miss Mary ,Jebsen, a German girl, aged
about 2S years, (seven weeks in this coun-
try,) drowned herself Sunday morning at
the foot of Scott street, Davenport, three
blocks below the ferry landing.
She had been working for Mr.. John
Eichner, corner of I'd and Scott streets.
Mr.. Eichner informed an ARGUS reporter
that she had complained several times of
being homesick, and had also complained
of her head, but this was attributed to a
cold. Sunday morning she arose as usual,
and put on her hat and shawl, about half
past five o'clock, and started out, saying
nothing to anyone. Half an hour later
she was missed and search was made.
About o'clock she was found (by Mr..
Thomas Meller, boarder at Mr.. Eich-
ner'sl about IL feet from the shore, in
about 3 feet of water. She wore dress of
plain black merino.
Her father and mother live near Schles-
wig, Germany and she has broth
err, John Jebsen, who came over from Ger
many with her, and who works on farm
6 miles from Durant.
Coroner Grant was notified and this
monday forenoon he called the following
jury: Thee. Holm, Christopher Kruse and
Fl. A. Runge.
Emma Rineholdt, a woman who works
at Mr.. Eichner's s, testified that Miss ,Jeb-
sen had told her she was getting deaf and
that if she did not get we'll soon she would
rather be out of the world. She had also
told her that she was lonesome and love-
sick; fortune teller in Germany had told
her that she would marry a young man who
came to this country about 3 years ago.
and now lives in Omaha. She would not
permit physician to see her or prescribe
for her.
Her brother and several other witnesses
were examined They all testified that she
had been contented and happy until about
week ago, when she took cold in her
head
Constable Seims examined her trunk
and other goods and found 81 in money
and plenty of wearing apparel
The jury returned a verdict that she
came to her death by drowning between
the hours of 6 A. NJ. and P. NJ. on the I'd
day of May.
She was buried this Monday afternoon
from the house of Peter Goldschmidt, un.
Sertaker, on I'd street, between Ripley and

Fine Rlooded Cattle.

Four car loads of fine blooded short
horned cattle forty head) passed through
this city, via. the P. & R. l. r. r. to day,
going to West Liberty, Iowa. The cattle
were valued at about $45, 900 and belonged
to S. N. Jacobs, Robert Miller and Mrs.
A. E. Kimberly, and were purchased at
the great cattle sale of j. Fl. Spears &
Sons. of Tallula, Menard Co. Illinois, which
took place at Bloomington, few days ago.
Among them was COW at 81, 200, another
at 81 1925, another at 81, 5O0-and so on.
1t was at the same sale that Gen.
Charles E. Lppincott bought the Tween
ty-frst Duke of Ardrie," red roam bull,
calved Oct. 4, 1871, and bought by Spears
last year in Kentucky,for $7,O55. Bidding
started on this animal at 80, 900 and went
up by 81 900 bids until it reached $4,000

TIE noul,na poiaouiue Case.

DIR. Plummer was called to see Messrs,
Mcknight and Swift, on Saturday, and to
examine the poisoned water. The facts
are about as stated in THE ARGUS of Satur-
day. The spring is at the border of
slough and has no current, except as itmay
be raised by rains. The water is still, and
soaks into the soft ground on the slough
side of the hole. There we're three horses.
A bucket of water was given to each. The
first horse watered was not very sick; the
second one barely lived; by the
third pail full they had SO stirred up the
poison in the water that the third horse
got dose that killed him, after lingering
in great agony for few hours
After watering their horses the men
then drank from the spring. Its muddy
place about it and there is board laid
down to step on to dip up the water. Nc
Knight laid down on this board and drank,
and then Swift drank in the same way.
They say they drank from corner where
the water seemed pretty clear. Swift was
quickly relieved by an emetic, but Mcknight
was very low, his stomach still retching
and he being unable to leave his bed, DIR
Plummer says his stomach is very sore
but he thinks he willrecover. The indica
tons were that the water had been poison
ed with arsenic.
/ DR.. Plummer brought home portion
of the contents of the dead horses stomach
and will have sent to him a gallon of tn,
water. after stirring up the spring,
he will analyze them.
i The books say that arsenic is soluble il
water, and at 55o a pint of water dis
solves 293 grains of the transparent vari
ETY., and 90 grains of the Opaque. Warme
water dissolves greater quantity. 1t
probable that the water in this mud hole
warmer than 55,-and as there is no cur
rent the poison would remain there, to b
, stirred up every time water is dipped fror
the place.
Deputy Sheriff Silvis says he served tn
the papers for removing Frank johnson
and he judged, by appearances, that the
were pretty hard set. He says the spring
I or mud hole where they get water is nea
the path leading from the public road t
the house, and perhaps Is or 20 rods from

Fatal Accident in Geneseo.

A man named Spaid, aged about 60, was
instantly killed near Geneseo, Friday even
ing, of last week Mr.. Spaid had been a
resident of the vicinity for some 20 years
or more. He had recently bought, for
$4,000, farm of J. III. Paddleford, some
6 or miles north of Geneseo, and was in
town for load of lumber. The accident
occurred about half past nine o'clock, near
Mr.. Smiths place, about half a mile out
side the corporation limits. He either
drove into hole or off the road when his
load was turned over and he fell under it.
His body was found where it struck the
ground, with the lumber top of him. F.
II. Macarthur, acting as coroner, called a
jury, j. F.Dresser acting as foreman, Dr's
Wells and Pomeroy examined the body
and gave it as their opinion that he died
instantly. A verdict of death by accident
was rendered.
