Division Business.

For the past week the managers of the
Peoria & Rock Island and the e., B. 4 ..
roads have been in conference trying to
come to some conclusion as to division of
territory for the freight business Of the two
roads. The matter was amicably settled
yesterday by it being agreed that the
Peoria & Rock Island road should receive
freight in this city for Peoria, indianapolis
and Southeastern points, while the Z. B.
& @. shall do all business for Alton, st,
Louis and Southern points.
The object of this division is to prevent
competition bet~ cen the two roads, and in
order that neither road need cut their
rates until it was improbable to carry
freight. Under this agreement shippers
may expect an advance in rates-but Mr..
Mahoney, general freight and passenger
agent on the Peoria road, to whom we are
indebted for the above information, says
the roads do not intend to make any ad-
vances further than what will give them q
| fair profit for carrying the freight,
| In addition to the above, the Peoria
road has similar division with the c. R.
l. & ?. road, so that there will be no com
petition between those roads for eastern
bound freight.

mae vote.

The special election, yesterday, passed
off very quietly. only 22l votes being cast.
OF this number 207 votes were in favor,
and IA were against the proposition to fund
the $4,000 of city Indebtedness by the
issue of 20 year bonds drawing per cent.
interest. This light vote indicates that the
taxpayers are in favor Of the proposition,
and now it is to be hoped the council will
comply with the law in issuing the bonds;
and, that they will put them into the hands
of men for negotiation, who will make the
best possible terms, and regarding whom
there will be no suspicion of speculation or
profit in the transaction, although this can
hardly be expected in view of the efforts
the council has made in this matter. In
other words the people propose that there
shall not be any speculation in their ne
cessities," by members of the council or
their friends. 1t is fact that this is the
first council, on whose vote members and
their friends have made money, aud still
these members brazenly retain their seats.
Now if this coat fits, put it on. and THE
ARGUS will call names Il is to be hoped
that, in this bond matter, there will be no
grounds for suspicion. and that the law viii
be complied with, in order that the ques-
tion of illegality will not be raised to oper-
ate against the sale of the bonds.

The Proposed Starch Works.

G, II. Stoddard says that at meeting
of the directors of the old watch company,
on Monday evening, Mr.. John H. Brod-
rick, of the Excelsior Starch Works, Of
Elkhart. Ind, made proposition to pur-
chase the watch factory building at South
Rock Island for $4,000 AS Mr. stoddard
had already offered the building to him
for SIC, 1000, the directors refused to accept
his proposition. 1t is thought, however,
that he will agree to pay $4,000 and
if he does Rock Island will have another
substantial industry.
Mr.. Brodrick is brother-in law of DR..
Maxwell, over the river, and is said to be
q man of considerable means.

Won't Change the Camp Grounds,

WoA NhthAAk0 WAC Osb44Ap GLOuAusp
At business meeting Of the Camp
Meeting Association. held at the camp
grounds, back of Milan, yesterday. the
question came up as to the expediency Of
changing the place for holding the camp
meetings. After considerable discussion
it was decided, by a vote of Is for and 90
against, not to change the camp grounds.
Mr.. G. II. Stoddard states that Mr.. P.
L. Gable had made a proposition to
the association to the effect that he would
exchange an equal number Of acres at
Turkey Hollow, on the Mercer county
road, at place which he calls by the
biblical name Of ''Enon Springs between
Taylor Ridge and Reynolds-for the pres
ent camp grounds, besides paying all the
expense incurred by moving the tents and
other buildings. One of the advantages
Of the new place is living spring of pure
Water-from which it derives its name
which will supply enough water to furnish
the whole country. There is no doubt but
that the place proposed would be the most
satisfactory, and, if the present association
does not accept il, it is not altogether i'm
probable but that another association will
! be formed. las suggested by Mr., Stoddard.

From the human system bear the same
relation to it as sewers do to a city. They
carry off the waste, the refuse which it is
essential to remove in order to prevent dis
ease, One of the most salutary effects of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is to renew
activity of the bowels when these organs
are derelict in their duty. The bilious and
dyspeptic symptoms which accompany con-
stipation are also remedied by this sterling
Alternative. Its gentle cathartic action
has the effect Of removing impurities
which would otherwise poison the system,
and its tonic influence is exhibited in an
increase in vital power. 1t reneWs appe-
tite, soothes and invigorates the nerves,
prevents and remedies malarial fever, and
is first rate remedy for dependency.

various forms has for many years been one
OF the chief articles in the Mote7la Medica
for the treatment of certain diseases.
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive, and circulatory or
gans. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
apsolute purity led to the introduction of
Helmbold's Extract of BucLu. which for
tho last quarter of century has been ex-
tenslvely used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like

do well to see that the obtain the genuine
"Helmbold Buchu, the only pure and
