FOUND AT LAST After years Of pa
tlent research and chemical investigation
IN the vegetable world, there has been
discovered and perfected valuable COM
pound tonic, agreeable in taste, pleasant
in action and highly beneficial in results.
1t forms one Of the most valuable tonics
and coTrectives ever yet offered to the
public. 1t is especially adapted to any
lesion of the hepatic, gastric or renal func-
tons arising from sedentary occupation,
exposure to night air, or any other exciting
cause. Its freedom from any mineral con.
stituent, makes it more desirable as a
household remedy. This valuable prepar
alton Is the celebrated Home Stomach

Exactly So.


The commercial traveller for leading
dry goods house in New York has been in
Davenport during the past week. He
stated that it was but little use coming to
this city, for the store most patronized did
not deal, except as an occasional accom-
mediation, with houses handling in legiti
mate articles, and that the shoddy goods,
bought for a mere song and sold at cor
responding rates, prevented the sale of
good articles to such degree as to heavily
irjure the fair dealing, good stock keeping
merchants, and this to such a degree that
first class commercial travellers found so
little to do that they avoided the town.
Before the Black Maria" gang COM
menced operations it required fully two
days to attend to Davenport and Rock
Island, but that now Rock Island monop-
olized the day and Davenport was easily
interviewed IN the fae end of the evening.
Not only are honorable traders thus in
jured, but the hotel business suffers large
| ~. Travellers now make the Harper House
their headquarters, and register no more
in Davenport. Upon our hotels largely
| depend our grocers, butchers and other
purveyors, and thus by having a big rub
bish emporium and auction rag-shop in
our midst the whole community is injured,
aud the only consolation is that our wives
may dress themselves in the rejected tag
rag of New York York stores, carted
wholesale into the auction room and Ietailed
here few cents below articles bought al
first hand and in style and novelty UP to
the times. The Brady street stores, the
respectable stores on Second street, sell
good articles for fair price, and yet
your ladies will persist in patronizing this
miserable dolly shop which only wants q
black rag baby hanging over its door {,
aptIy resemble the similar establishment,
in Chatham street or Five Points. Til
City Times.
We republish the above for the purpos,
of calling attention to the fact that larg
numbers of people from this city go owe
the ferry every day, to buy the trashy
slazy goods offered there. 1t is not likel,
that any dealer in Davenport sells th'
same quality of goods for less price thai
they can be purchased for in Rock Island
Certainly no dealer can afford to do SO
He may sell similar appearing goods fo
a less price-but probably not the SAM
quality for less price-unless he intend
to fail and defraud his creditors. 1t is
noticeable fact that while there Is scarcel,
ever failure in Rock Island, good man,
} occur in Davenport.
But the meanest feature Of the Who'll
: matter is that men who own bushes

to business men, permit their families t
do their shopping in Davenport,-a prac

How interesting it must be to the Ga

appears in that paper. If that reporter
had read The ARGUS of the previous
evening he would have been able to give
the readers of his paper full and correct
account of that reported row in some

impose on his readers the above sickly
item than to boldly state the facts without
fear or favor from anybody-as THE AR

want paper which will give the facts, ex-
