A FORTUNE FOR Hon. THOMAS S. b.
COCK.-It will be remembered that John
H. johnson of Appomatox left to Hon.
Th6s. S. Bocock his lawyer, a fortune of
$50, 900, saying in his will that he did so
"btcanse he iBocock) had been injured by
the war, and was a public man and had
been DISTINGUISHED" This will the heirs
at law contested and carried it up to the
Court Of Appeals. The Richmond cores
pendent of the Petersburg News says:
+ The Supreme Court of Appeals today
indicated the conduct Of Hon. Thomas $.
Bocock III the much talked Of Johnson
will case. Bocock wrote Johnson will,
and Johnson directed him to inserta clause
providing that the bulk of his fortune
should go to Bocock. 1t was alleged that
Bocock exercised undue influence over
johnson and that Iohnson's Wind was
weak. All such allegations were fairly
diSproved, and it was shown that johnson
lived a good while aftrr the will was made,
had every opportunity to alter it-indeed,
WAS instructed by MIR. Bocock how he
could alter it. Mr. Bocock has suffered
somewhat from public misapprehension of
the facts. but has received an honorable
and complete vindication from the Su
preme Court of Appeals, and will bee me-
the undisturbed possessor of about $5O.0to
iii property.

THE FINEST HOTEL In ILLINOIS,
OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO.

no hotel can be found anywhere, in towns
of this size, that can begin to compare
with the Harper. And it should always
be remembered that in towns of this size a
hotel labors under great disadvantages as
to variety, quality and regular supply of
such articles as it must purchase daily in
the market.
The house is great credit to Rock ISL
and, and our citizens scarcely realize the
large obligations they are under to Mr.
Harper for his enterprise and liberalty in
building and keeping it. To his careful
watchful attention is due the success of the
house. He sees everything, knows every
thing about the house. Not the smalles
detail escapes his watchful eye, He ha'
made the reputation for the house and thu
helped to give an excellent name to the town
Many of our people feel the truth of thi
and take pride, at home or abroad, in say
ing a good word for the Harper, and TO
its. enterprising, liberal hearted, public
spirited proprietor. The house is, justly
the pride of every true Rock Islander.

Several of the more intelligent and lib
eral- minded citizens of Moline have called
at this Office for copies of THE ARGUS con-
tanning the account of the contemplate
picayune and piratical raid on the tax pay
ers by those high-minded, God-serving
crusaders, who stood out in the rain and
sun, early and late, in front of Moline
saloons, for the purpose of being able to
draw witness fees in liquor prosecutions.
So strong has been the rule of Puritanism
in Moline, and so vindictive the ostracism
of independent thought that these men
were forced to tolerate theifemale madness
that struck the city last summer like an
epidemic, causing those short haired crea-
lures. the ghosts of departed womanhood,
to parade themselves objects of pity and
even of contempt for their motives. Those
motives are now so plainly mirrored in
those witness fees that Christian women
may we'll blush for shame to see their sex
in such disreputable actions, and the bet
ter men of Moline may well wish to wipe
out the record of their city's shame-which
they will probably do at their coming city
election.

The statement in last evenings Argus
that the water flowing from the Swan
street hydrant has no outlet and accumu-
lates on the street, is incorrect. 1t has
found its way to the slough without any
trouble ever since the water was warmed
by the injection of steam Union.
No such statement appeared in THE AR
GUS. Nothing was said about the accumu-
lation of ice ION the street." What Mr..
Roach claims is that the city turned water
into the slough and that it formed ice at
and near the Swan street bridge, under
the bridge of course, and not on it, raising
the surface so that if heavy rain were to
fall the water would not run off as fast as
it would accumulate, but would set back
upon the low residences above that bridge
and greatly inconvenience many people
who live near there, and damage their
property. He claims that the city, having
created this sort of an impeachment to
the free flow of the surface water, ought
to send men ito cut a trench through the
ice so that the water can run oh-and that
if this is not done the city should pay fol-
the inconvenience and damage which may
occur.
The nonsense about the Eggletoniar
warm water only makes people laugh
The water from the hydrant finds its way
to the slough, no doubt, but it isn't warn
enough to cut channel through the bee
OF ice which accumulated there during tht
cold weather.

Dr. Schenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, ScHENcK's
SEA WEED Tonic, and SCHENck's MANDRAKE Pills,
and, if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected.
TO these three medicines DR.. j. SCHENck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unriyalled success in the
treatment of Pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it of by an easy ex-
pectoratiOn, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe slight cough will throw it off, the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schen-
ck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea Weed Tonic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver
removing all DISTINCTIONS relax the gall bladder
the bile starts freely and the liver is soon reliev
ed.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which ii Is composed
mixes with the food and prevents s0uribg Il
assists the digestion by tOning up the stomach to
healthy condition, that the food and the Pull
monte syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patent will surely get well care is
taken to prevents fresh cold.

sonally by letter. do so at his principle office
