CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
ScHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP,
SCHsNoK's SEA WEED TONIC.

ScHENCK'S 8 PULMoNIC SYRUP,
SCHENoK's SEA WEED TONIC.
SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death of the patient they lock up the
lver,stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
OF twoth1rds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons COMPLAIN of a dull pain in the side, con-
stpatlon coated tongue, pain in the shoulderblade
feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily on the stomach accompanied with
acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originated from disor-
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver
Persons so affected, II they take or two heavy
colds and II the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are mass OF sores, and
liberated, the res ult of which is death.
Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain opium or anything calculated to
check a cough Suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissoves the food
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costlve, skin sallow, or the
symptom otherwise OF a bilious tendency Schenck 1

they we're brought before the magistrate
and charged, underthe state law, with steal
ing copper boiler, valued at 81 from the
rear OF the Harper House, and selling it to
j oha Shields, the junk man. After hearing
the evidence they were held in $50 bonds
each for their appearance at the next term
of the circuit court States Attorney Par
menter for the people. The boys had no
attorney.
Other copper utensils were stolen at the
same time, but not traced. The yard gate
had been lett open moment to drive 10 a
load of coal when these boys stepped in
and committed the theft. There are
many just such hoodlums about town
watching chance to steal-and the Junk
stores seem to be 10 ''cahoots" with them,
or take no pains to ferret out the rascals.
Junk dealers ought to be sure that articles
were not stolen, before they buy them
otherwise these boys are encouraged to
steal.

our states attorney could forfeit his
promise to appear against Olsen and find
no difficulty in appearing against these
little boys.

The Assassin Of Albert D, Richardson
Arrested as a Common Drunkard,


There are queer ups and Gowns in this
strange world of ours. but everybody will
acknowledge that there are more downs
than ups. Among those who for years
past have been swiftly stepping the down.
ward path may be mentioned, Daniel
Mcfarland, the assassin of Albert ID.
Richardson, the once famous correspond
ent of the New York Tribune, during the
eventful years that Horace Greeley figured
as It's ruling spirit. Mcfarland has long
been drunkard of the commonest descrip-
ton; his trial developed that fact and since
that memorable event he has been noto-
rious FOR habits of easy and idle living.
His trouble with Richardson. it will be re-
membered. was occasioned by Jealousy, iu-
stigated by the la,ter's friendship for his
wife, Richardson having befriended her on
numerous occasions. 4 divorce was pro-
cured, and Richardson and Mrs. McFar-
land were married while the former was
on his death bed. There was good deal
of talk about the matter at the time, and
the names of all the parties involved were
quite prominent in the newspapers for
| uany months.
| Last night Mcfarland was found by a
police officer, wandering in the streets oil
| this city in a state of beastly intoxlcatlon.
| When taken to the Chestnut street police
station, he became partly sober and raved
Iincoheren,ly for long tune about the
great trouble which seemed always on lis
nind-ihe assassination. Il seems he has
been stopping at the Southern hotel, hu
an inspection of his pockets failed t. d $
close any valuables of any consequence anC
no money whatever. So. Lous Rep, 20:h

Our Methodist Pardoner,

Fron.the ILLINOIS State Register, FEB. 10Th.
Gov. Beyeridge Goes not seem to be
able to crafty his passion for pardoning
convicted criminals by the ordinary IA
cilities offered by the a.ail and telegraph,
but sends his pardons about the state by
trusted messengers, who lay in wait for
unsuspecting sberiffs at functions and
other coigns of vantage, whence they
suddenly appear to rescue the convicts,
Thus we see that the sheriff of Winnie
bago county, being en- route for Joliet
with a convicted horse thief in his
charge, was met at way station by a
messenger and presented with piece of
executive elemency on paper, which
forced him to drop his convict halfway,
aud probably obliged the latter to steal
another horse in order to get home.
A still sadGer tale is told by the sheriff
of Pike, who. being on his way from the ma
tivity Of John Hay, witlsa bunch" of con
vic,s got off the T.,W. & w II, r. train at
the junction below this city. A letter was
thrust into his hand while here by some
person unknown, but being busy looking
after his convoy, he did not read it at the
time, He got his charge safely on the
Chicago railroad train, aud when be had
paid his fare and taken a big chew of
tobacco, the train was at Lincoln. He
then opened the letter and found it was a
pardon for convicted forger of his party,
whom he incontinently turned loose. IN
obedience to the executive mandate. But
now the sheriff can't get his money for
taking the convict to Joliet, because he
was obliged to abandon him on the road.
After reflection we conclude that
when the governor pardons convicts en-
route, he should, in justice. pay the
sheriff 8 fees out of the contingent fund.-

Before Justice Cooke.

Saturday evening the examination of
Charles Olsen for stealing fine nickel
plated railroad lantern, belonging to Com
duetor LaBar, took place before Justice
Cooke. Olsen admitted that he carried
the lantern home, but said he told Peter
sen to carry it back and he supposed he
had done SO as he had heard nothing about
it since. States Attorney Parmenter did
90: attend to the case and the facts were
not fully brought out Olsen carried the
lantern home and used it. as the lantern
shows by its smoky and filthy condition.
1t was neat and clean when taken. A
week or so after the moving the lantern was
missed and word was sent for tie discus
10 call. After several messages an q
weeks delay, John did call and was told
about the lantern being missing and of its
delivery to Charles on the day OF the nov
ing. He said be new nothing about it but
he would enquire of his brother. A few
days afterwards he called and said he had
enquired about it aud could uot learn any
thing about it. Now. if Charles Olsen
ted Peterson TO return it the next MORN
ing, how does it happen that the lantern
was used until enquiry was made fer it,
and then rolled UP in newspapers and hid
away under the stairs in dark closet for
six weeks? The story is too thin Charlie
should pay Lawyer Atwood veil for con-
structing his defense and managing his
case, bringing large number OF witnesses
to prove previous good character, etc.
Perhaps it was as well not to send him to
prison. He has been taught good lesson,
and ought to be willing to pay his lawyer a
good round price for managing his case SO
successfully.

Bank Closing,

We have been requested to say that the
First National Bank of this city, the Rock
Island National, and the banking house Of
Mitchell & Lynde, will not be opened to-
morrow. because it will be Wash ington' s
birth day.
The Peoples National will be open as
usual, because Feb. 22d is not legal holi-
day.
The legal holidays in this state were es.
tablished by law in 1861. The provision
of that act is incorporated in the revised
statues of 1874, in chapter 50, section II,
page 100. 1t reads:
The following days to-wit. The list of of Jan
uary. commonly called New Years Day, the 4tl
of July and the 25th of December, commonly called
Christmas Day, and any day appointed or re
commended by the governor of this state, or the
president Of the United States, as day of fast o
Thanksgiving, shall, for all purposes Whatsoever,
regards the presenting for payment or acceptance
| the maturity and protesting and giving notice o
the dishonor of bills of exchange bank checks, ant
promissory notes, other negotiable CONNER
cia paper Instruments be treated and considered
| as is the first day Of the week, commonly callet
| Sunday, ETC., etc.
This is, we believe, the only law on tina
subject in force in this state, and it doe
not appear, therefore, that the 22d Of Feb
ruary is legal holiday And there is N
more reason why men should be asked t
pay on the 2lst, notes due on the Odd, O
suffer protest, than there is on any othe
day in the year-or why people who d
husiness at hanks should he shut ont from
depositing money, or drawing their money
or purchasing draft on that day, at tn
within of bank managers, than on any othe
day in the year.
/ The Moline banks will close also.
The Peoples National, in this city, wi
be the only bank at which any business ca
be done in Rock Island or Moline to
morrow.

Amelioration and Cure.

Amelioration Of the symptoms of disease is, Of
course, one desirable object of medication, and
there are no doubt. palliatives which possess con-
siderable remedial efficacy. The temporary dis
appearance of the indicia OF disease, too many
instances however delude the sick into belief that
they are cured. Many OF those who have borne
grateful testimony of the permanent remedial
effects Of Hostetterss Stomach Bitters, in cases OF
liver disorders, chronic constipation intermittent
and remittent feyers, urinary and rheumatic all
ments have also recorded the fact that the tempory
relief occasionally afforded BIZ the medicines VIII ch
they tried before using the great restorative inspired
hopes which were speedily dissipated by return
of the MALAY. The Btters not only relieve, but
if persistently and regularly taken, cure the
maiadies to which they are adapted.
