Don't Like It.

Moline still insists that she don't like
the way in which she was treated by the
Rock Island ring in the late unfortunate
republican convention. The Union makes
faces at the chagrined Molineites and tells
them to get back into party line. The
Rerie,o bolts the ticket and tells the ring
some wholesome truth about Moline ma =
joritles, and the Union twits the editor of
that paper on bis humble origin and calls
him hard names. And now, the Moline
editor of the Gazette SHES one at the
Union, and q breathless nation waits for
some seathing reply. The Gazette says:
There still exists an opinion in the
minds of large majority of our citizens
that the Republican convention added in
suit to injury in the treatment of Moline;
that the Union apologist IN Moline is in
the wrong business in his weak limitations
of his Rock island masters policy; and
that as a cats paw to rake chestnuts Out
of the FIRE he shows strong symptoms of q
fawning sycophapt Six hundred and

The Centre Of Vitality.

The lite Of the flesh and the brain, the
bones and the muscles, is the blood 1t is
the ceutre of vitality, the nutriment of the
system. Not only must it be pure, but
rich, IN order to retain health. In the
feeble and devitalized, the life current is
waterg and its circulation sluggish. The
muscles of such persons lack solidity, the
nerves are weak, the visage haggard, and
the eye lustreless. A course of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, however, improves not
only the health but the appearance of the
debiitated and nervous, Nutrition theL
becomes complete because indigestion re-
ceives an impetus from this benignant
tonic, which fertilizes the blood, brings
back the rose tint of health to the wan
cheek, brightness to the eye, and gives
power of endurance to the muscle. In

The New York Tribune says, Trades
unions in the Goa! regions is now taking Oh
one of its most disgusting phases. The
leaders of the misled and blinded working
men are trading their influence oyer them
for political consideration. If there could
be an Independent secret ballot in the col.
lieries, there can be no question that a
majority Of the miners in many districts
would vote to go to work. But they have
placed themselves in the hands of their
committees, and the committees are trading
with the political organizations, AMI hence
until the tall nominations are out of the
way, there seems TO be no chance what
ever. 1t is deplorable that workiugmen
should take the bread out of their mouths
10 order to secure power to intriguers
among themselves to dicker with political
conventions and trading politicians. But
this is just what the coal miners are doing,
and just what trades. unionism, in its later
stages, always develops. IF the men
could only be liberated from their slavery
to their committees, there would be no
trouble about an orderly resumption of
work, and an end of the present waste and
suffering. But then how could the ambi-
tious committeeman bargain with tba local
conventions for Office or PATRONAGE What
would become of the brassy bIatherskites
who control the labor vote?"

POUND I'm THE RIVER.
Was it Suicide or MURDER Foul Play
suspected.

Yesterday morning, while Frank West,
and two other hackmen of Davenport,
were out 10 skiff fishing about three
quarters of a mile below Rockingham,
they eaw body floating down stream, and
pulling out to it, secured it and brought it
ashore.
The body proved to be that of a young
girl about Is years of age, and its appear
ance denoted that it had been in the water
but short time One of the hackmen, a
colored man employed in LOTIONS stable,
went to Davenport to inform the authorities,
and Justice Finger, we are told, went
down and acted as coroner in the premises.
The body turns out to be that Of Minnie
Brandt, aged about Is years, daughter Of
VIM. Brandt, butcher, corner Of Fourth
street and Western avenue, over the river,
who mysteriously disappeared from home
last Friday evening the last see n of
her alive was on Saturday evening &C the
corner Of Main and Second street, buying
some peanuts.
Some of her relatives, hearing of the
finding of the body of the young girl,
started for the scepe. and recognized her.
Her person bears no marks of violence
except that one of her hands was swollen
considerably, and her upper lip was turned
back somewhat, and it was evident tina
she had bled profusely at the nose.
As she had never LETT home before, it is
suspected that she was induced off by som
one and that she met with foul play-an'
then murdered, or. else, fell victim t.
the seducer, and committed suicide to hid
her shame. Her body was brought to he
fathers home, and was buried at o'cloc
in the afternoon.
Tle coroner's jury returned a verde
that the deceased came to her death b
drow aing herself in the Mississippi on @
about the fifteenth day of Sept 1877.
