The St Louis, Rock Island & Chicago company
purchased the road of the bondholders, but not
having complied with the terms of sale the bond
holders have right to sell TO other parties-Oster-
6erg's Rock Island organ.
The st. L. R. l. 4 G. company was a
fraud and a myth; it never purchased
anything. Osterberg, Meredith Davis,
George Skinner and few other impecu-
nious jumping jacks cooked up scheme,
on paper, to form ring and buy the
road. If Captain Robinson hadn' blocked
Osterberg's game of getting a personal
deed he might have succeeded in stealing
the road-but that game was blocked.
The st. Louis company was composed
wholly of bond holders. Dr. Fester stated.
in the bond holders meeting at Frank
fort, that
"Al of this stock belongs to us with the exception
of very few shares that had to be gjgen to the
d1Tect0TS, as matter of form, in order that they
'could be directors"
And now we learn that the jumping
jacks, who were presented with a share
each, of the stock, so that they could be
directors, Immediately retransferred it
back to Osterberg and placed their resig-
nations in his hands at any hour he might
wish to accept the retranslered stock
and designations. This was the paper
Captain Robinson refused to sign, and
which was so carefully locked in the safe.
Captain Robinson didn't propose to be
any ybody's jumping jack
The result is that under the management
of Osterberg & 1.-The whole business has
been disastrous failure, and ends by the
bondholders getting back their 20 per cent.
which they advanced, AID leaving them to
get the same dividend as those who did
not go into the ring. Osterberg's schemes
of personal gain have wholly failed and
the bondholders have lost heavily by hav
ing any thing to do with him. Had they
been content with Mr.. Cable management
they would haye reaized.four or FIVE times
as much as they now receive. Veil

The LIvER's SECRETION OF SUGAR
Thousands are unaware of the fact that
the liver is producer of sugar. 1t is first
formed in the hepatic tissue, and is known
ly psychologists as glycogenic matter, and
then by process OF transformation ere it
leaves the liver becomes sugar. Irrespec-
tive of the food on which mum anity lives is
sugar always to be found in the liver. Now
as the manufacture of sugar is necessary to
perfect the blood, it follows that unless
food be taken in proper~quantities, the re
quired quantity of sugar cannot be produc-
ed; hence those who have poor 'appetites,
require their digestive organs improved by
tonic so as to eat and digest that amount
of food so necessary to the production OF
sugar in the liver in its required natural
quantity; we have great pleasure there
tore 10 calling attention to that splendid
elixir tonic known as the HOME STOMACH
BITTERs.

To our Board of Education,

IF each member of our board of educa-
tion will read the sermon OF Rev. DR.. Pat
ton, in the Chicago Tribune of Monday
morning, it seems to us that they would
at once discontinue the altogether useless
and worse than useless practice of reading
the bible in our city schools.
From the Chicago Journal, Monday.
Rev. DR.. W. w. Patton delivered an
address. Yesterday afternoon, in Farwell
Hall ON 1.-THE Bible in the Public Schools. /"
He referred first to the national constitu-
ton, which forbids any religious test for
officers, as also the establishment of re-
ligion," and showed the injustice of infiict-
ing upon those whose belief is otherwise,
the teachings of Protestant scripture. He
argued that the public schools are not the
proper channels for the inculcation OF re-
ligious doctrines, and chat such instruction
should be left to the churches, the family,
and private conscience. He denied that
it was in accordance with American princi
pies of civil liberty and the spirit of our
institutions that religious exercises, pro-
vided for one class of society, should be
supported by taxes from ALL His entire
address was an able presentation from an
unexpected source of the reasons why the
reading of the bible in the schools should
not be insisted upon.
From the Chicago Tribune Monday
The exceedingly able and interesting
address Of the Rew w. W. Patton, d. D.,
on the subject of the Bible in the Schools,
delivered yesterday in Farwell Hall to a
large audience, and printed in full in our
columns this morning, will attract general
attention as coming from one of the fore
most men in the Congregational church in
America. DR.. Patton, it will be seen,
takes high ground in favor of the absolute
secularism Of the public schools, calling
in question the practice of using the
schools supported by general taxation for
religious instruction and also disputing the
practical value OF the reading OF brief se-
lections trom the bible unaccompanied by
explanation or application. He argues
with great pertinence and force that the
common schools are not and could not be
made to be the proper channels for the
inculcation OF religious doctrine, aud that
the provision for such instruction should
be left to the church, the family. and the
Individual, to be regulated according to
private conscience.
