Nichols Wants $4,000 Each, From
Several Fast Men of Means.

Mr.. Geo. G. Nichols having been decid
ed to be sane, and regaiued his liberty, now
wants pecuniary remuneration for the de-
struction of his domestic happiness, and is
going for several prominent and wealthy
citizens of Davenport, for adultery with
his wife. Yesterday afternoon notice was
served of petition to be filed on or be-
fore the 10th of June in the Office of the
clerk of the circuit court, of Scott county,
Iowa, asking judgment against Mr.. Eben-
ezer Sherman, and in favor of Geo. G.
Nichols, in the sum of $4,000, for adul-
terry with his wife. 1t is reported that Mr..
Sherman is rather glad that he is to be Civ
en- chance to prove his innocence, as he
claims that he is able to do, 1t is also
said that similar suits will be brought
against all the other parties named in the
Information also that some parties il
this city and Moline will be called upon
for similar amounts.
New Informations have been filed charg
ing Mrs. Nichols, her son-in-law, Taft
and her daughter, Dacotah, with conspi
racy.
Mrs. Nichols is also to be charged, OF
separate Informations, with adultery witt
all the persons named in the original In
formation, and it is said several other per
sons also.
Unless this matter is settled and hushet
up, it is quite likely that the scandal-mon
gers will have rich treat

Dr. Lester and Geo. W: Vinton, Esq'r. are

in the matter.
Why is it that the railroad companies
persist in leaving their cars standing on
the crossing near Barnard & Leas, Manu-
featuring Company's buildings? They
have been frequently notified of the in
convenience it causes, and it is either care
lessness or neglect on the part of employees
that the frequent warnings have gone I'M

the matter their attention.
The Turner's will meet at Turner Hall
on Sunday morning next, and
march on foot to the woods about
three miles south of here, where they hold
a picnic. Gymnastic exercises will be in

on hand to enliven the occasion. The

/ The poll tax is the source of discussion
among all parties at present, and its collec
ton, and who shall collect it, is looked for
ward to with much interest. From the
best sources of information at hand, it ap
pears to be the duty of the commissioners
of highways to collect it and turn it over tt
the township treasurer, who, in turn, &C
counts for it to the city council-they t.
make such disposition of it as in thei
Judgment may seem best for the interest o
the corporation. Mr.. Shallburg, (road com
! missioner has not expressly refused t
act, if he can be satisfied that, legally, it
his duty to do so-which is question
: Some of the council favor the appointment
of man for the purpose, claiming that
. thorough collection can better be made i
that way. Others claim that the tax is il
legal On the whole the matter is badI
: mixed. There will be a special meeting {
f the council on Saturday evening to tax
action on the bonds issued for improvin

: the mode and manner of collecting th
l tax and proper Interpretation of the la1

s conclusion may be arrived at, there will b

Tricks upon Travellers.

VIM. Richardson, an old man, living in
Fulton, Illinois, came to this city yester-
day in company with middle aged man,
claiming to be doctor. They proceeded
to the K. N. L. Co. 8 ticket Office and the
old gentleman bought ticket for Burling-
ton, and then, on the invitation of the doc
tor, got three or four drinks in saloon on
the levee. This was more cargo than the old
man could sail we'll with, and he lost his
bearings and when he recovered them
again he found himself minus his yalise,
valued at about $40, and $20in money, land
his friend (?) on the way to Quincy.
The old MAI, having no money, went into
saloon on Washington street, aud while
there fell into the hands of a
young sharp who proposed to lend
him a dollar and take the old man S
watch, worth $40, as security, telling him
he was the proprietor of the place. The
old man, being drunk, Immediately ex
changed, giving the chap his watch, and

sit out" when the bar tender, who
saw the exchange, but knew moth
ing about it then, thought some
thing was wrong, and asked the ole
man about it. He said he had given hi
watch to the proprietor. At this the bar
tender called Policeman Ohrt, and stated
the case to him, and Ohrt succeeded il
finding the fellow with the watch. TIL
fellow gave the watch to the bar tender
and the old man gave him back his money
and then Ohrt let the fellow go in
stead of arresting him and lockin
him up. Ohrt took Richardson tt
the Union House where he staid all night
and this morning he telegraphed to Ma
quokata for some money, where he says h
has ST, 400 in bank.

There has been good deal of imperti-
nent curiosity about the excuse the Hon.
W. S. King is to make concerning his con-
nection with the Pacific Mail subsidy. The
recent Indictment for perjury by Wash
ington jury seems to have hurried up the
explanation, for, in commenting upon that
unpleasant proceeding, Mr., Kings organ
at Minneapolis says
I'm the interests of certain stock holders
it was found necessary to make scape,
goat of Col King, and certain cowardly
politicians have found it convenient to lend
countenance to this persecution"
Isn't that a complete vindication

What astonishes the Philadelphia In
Quirer is that as the presidential election
approaches so many of our statesmen find
a southern tour absolutely essential to
their health. Another queer thing, it
says, is the accuracy with which the dates
of the arrival Of these travellers at certain
places is known in advance, and the spon-
taneous manner in which serenades and
receptions spring up to greet them. The
Inquirer says:
1T is just possible that Vice-President
Wilson is not ambitious to be our next
president, but be is now making the grand
southern tour, and he is also making some
admirable speeches expressive of the
warmest admiration of his southern
brethren. 1t would not at all surprise us
if the name of the vice. president should be
mentioned next year among those of the
crowd of aspiring candidates by some
enthusiastic southern delegate. But it is
little early yet to be sanguine about who
will get the Endorsement OF the south"

A misunderstanding MaIada.

That insomnia, or in ability to sleep, has become
very prevalent of late years, is sufficiently eviden-
ced by the fact that numberless remedies have
been introduced within the last decade specially in
tended flor to cure and that new sedatves are con-
tinually clsppihg up. But no medicinal agent has
so widely and clearly established its claims as
genuine soporifc as Hosstetter's Stomach Bitters,
That it removes this misunderstanding inability far
more efectually than the bromdes, chlorals and
valerianates in use is not to be wondered at when
we consider that such drugs act only on the brain,
which is not the of the evil, while the Bit
tiers reitfy the alimentary disturbance which orig
nate it, 1t is admitted by physicians hat dyspepsia
and nonassimilation of the food produce obstacles
to repose as we'll as those urinars troubles which
also SO interfere with it. wineglassful two
of this wholesome sedative invigorant at bed time
rarels fails to induce tranquil repose.

AN ExPERT.-Dr. Price is well known
as an expert in the study of Culinary
Chemistry, and all of the manufactures of
Steele & Price are the result of his re-
searches. One of these discoverie is the
Cream Baking Powder, by the use of which
light, sweet biscuits, cakes, &c.. at all
times are certinly. The market is flooded
with cheap inferior baking powders, and
adulteratiou is so extensively practised,
that the Cream Baking Powder does the
work with two-thirds of the quantity re-
quired of auy other kind. In view of such
cheap impositions, the public are advised
too ask for these pure and excellent articles
if they cannot be obtained of one grocer

just issued, will take place on Saturday
June 18th, proximo, on which occasion
grand fremen's parade will take place, at
tended by fire companies from various
cities in Iowa and Illinois. Great pains
have been taken to secure the attendance
of large number of fire companies, and
letters have already been received from
quite a number of companies signifying
their intention to be present. We believe
it has been decided to permit three of our
companies, Hope, from the Third ward ;
Phoenix, from the Fifth ward, and the
Rescue, from the Fourth ward) to attend,

ward, and Wide Awake from the Second

Its better to bear the ills we have. than
fly to others we know not Of" Shakes
peare makes one of his characters say, and
so would he say to the person who uses an
irritating, pungent application to a tender
and infamed part; it's but adding fuel to
the fire. The moral OF this is, that it is
better in such cases to use an emollient,
oleagineous application, such as Burdsall' 5
Arnica Liniment.

MAMMOTH AGGREGATION OF BILLIARD
TABLE MANUFACTURERS - America leads
the world in the manufacture of bill
lard tables, and henceforth Chicago will lead
America in this great branch of productive
industry. In union there is strength, and
in the consolidation of resources, facilities,
capital. business capacity, and experience,
there is economy and advantage. Upon
this basis, there has just been formed a
mammoth billiard table combination, which
includes the most popular and successful
manufacturers in the West, men who have
hitherto operated separately, but who now
combine their vast resources OF capital and
and their productive capability, not for
the purpose of ehecting corner" on bill
lard tables, nor of putting up prices. but,
on the contrary, to manufacture and sell
| finer, and, at the same time, cheaper bill
lard tables than the respective members
of the combination could possibly do when
operating separately.
The great billiard aggregation in ques-
ton will be made up of the following we'll
known and hitherto highly successful
houses, and will hereafter do business IN
der the firm name of 1.-THE Brunswick
Bros, Stephan & Hart company" Eman-
uel Brunswick & Co., of Chicago, Bruins.
wick Bros, of Chicago and st. Louis and
Stephan, Hart & Co., of Chicago. Head.
quarters, for the present, at Nos, A and
46 Dearborn street, and No.57 State street,
Chicago. and No. Ill North Fifth street.
St. Louis. A branch house of the great
combination will also soon be opened il
Cincinnati.
This mammoth aggregation means, tC
purchasers of billiard tables lower rates thar
ever before known in the West; while,as tC
quality, the previous reputation of the dit
ferent members of the concern is an ample
guarantee. With such elements of success
the future of 1.-THE Brunswick Bros.
Stephan, 4 Hart company" is not a mat
ter of chance CT conjecture such comb
nation cannot fail of securing the lion
share of the trade in billiard tables an(
billiard goods in the West, Northwest ant
Southwest.
