The Nasty Water,

We may reasonably hope for better
water with rise in the river, but we can
never have good water until the pumping
house is removed to point where we can
lay large pipe under the bed of the river
and across the sand bars to the north side
of the Island. An interesting 'etter from
DR.. Eyster, of Harrisburg. Pa, will be
found in this paper, in regard to contain
mated water there.
Some thoughtless people argue that be-
cause there were some cases outside the
city, therefore the water did cot cause the
disease They seem to forget that the
water tanks on all the railroads leaving the
city we're filled here, and in that way passen-
gers drank 1t and spread the disease
around us to greater or less extent.
The people visiting here drank the water
and many thus contracted the disease, and
carried it to the country about us. Nearly
every known case in the vicinity has beer
traced to the Rock Island water, and pub
lie opinion here, as in Harrisburg, is very
solid that impure water was the cause
| of the disease,

HELMBoLD's BUoHU. - Helmbolds
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainabe in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism. dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As dluretic, it is supe
rior to almost any other medicine in use.
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made it known
far and wide as reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
holds only.

school Examination ON Good rridayl

School Examination on Good Friday!
There is a good deal of talk about town
of the singular lack Of propriety in our
school authorities il, holding school exam
ination on, Good Friday-to tomorrow. In
respect for the solemnities Of the day the
board of education should not permit any
such exercises on that day. To Catholics.
Episcopalians, and Lutherans especially,
and to all christian denominations gener-
ally, Good Friday is more carefully and
solemnly observed than Sunday, 1t is the
commemoration of the cruci6xion Of our
Saviour and has been kept as a day of
mourning and special prayer from the
earliest Christian ages. 1t was one of the
two paschal days celebrated by the Christ
ian church in memory of the cruci6xion
1t was observed as day of rigid fast and
solemn and melancholy ceremonial from
the days of the apostles. When Christi
auity was established in the empire Con
stAntine forbade the holding of law courts
markets and other public proceedings of +,
worldly nature on that day. And in al
the large cities in this country there are nj
markets on Good Friday, while business il
quite generally suspended. Our schoo
authorities evidently must have forgotten
these things or they would hav
arranged to pay proper respect t.
the day on which the Saviour of the worl'
was crucified.

The friends of Justice Swander propose
to present his name as candidate for Pro-
bate Judge, at the proper time Union,
29th.
If they present him as an independent
candidate, irrespective of party politics, he
can be elected. He would be such a
wonderful improvement on the iucom-
petent who now encumbers that Office that
respectable men of all parties throughout
the county would vote for ;Mr. Swander in
preference to Guyer. Mr.. Swander is a
much more intelligent man than Guyer;
a better lawyer; better business man;
clearer headed in all his acts, and by
habits and temperament better suited for
the Office He would make good county
