The Centre of Vitality.

The lite of the flesh and the brain, the
bones and the muscles, is the blood. 1t is
the centre of vitality, the nutriment of the
system. Not only must it be pure. but
rich, 10 order to retain health. In the
feeble and devitalized, the life current is
watery 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

CHILDS & co.
A Bret Sketch OF an Enterprising
Clothing House.


Nearly everybody in the this vicinity is
familiar with the popular ready-made
clothing house of Childs & Co., under
Darts Hall. Mr.. Childs came to this city
about three years ago, and since that time
has done a large and lucrative business in
the sale of ready-made clothing. He came
here a stranger, and by close attention to
business and persistency and his determine
ton to keep none but frst-class goods,
which he sold at reasonable and often at
prices which challenged competition,
soon made his house one of the most
popular and enterprising in the three
cities. He fixed only one price on his
goods, and when he told customer that
was his price the purchaser was assured
that he was not paying more for the article
than it was worth, and allowing only q
small profit for the company. This las
been the key to his large sales. for when
ever a person once purchased an article
from him he always returned, when be
Leeded anything in his line again.
/
of the company this fall. Mr. Childs has
determined to secure a more commodious
room for the display of bis goods, and hi
has therefore rented the store lately occu
pied by the Chicago Square ealint
clothing store. opposite the Rock ISLAND
House, and will move his stock to tina
place about the first of October. In tn,
meantime, the store will be fitted up il
frst-cIass style, and every improvement
will be made which will better accomodat
: the company and aid in facilitating bus
mess. Mr.. Childs says the principal rea
sons for moving the store are that he ca
better display his goods and there will b
better light than Ia the old store.
However, at the present store they hav
large and splendid stock of clothing
: whey they will sell unusually cheap, in OF
der to save the bother of moving, and ais
e to prepare for another entirely new stoc
= which will be placed in the new store

Although the Democratic County Con-
vention has deemed it inexpedient at this
time to make nominations for county offices,
there is no doubt but Democrats are as
much interested in the result of the County
election this fall as they ever were at any
former time. The resolution not to make
nominations was in no way an Abandonment
of the principles of the democratic party,
nor any disbanding of its regular organiza-
ton, but simply declaration that the In
dependent Candidates already in the field
are so decidedly and unqualifedly accepta-
BILE to democrats generally, that under
the circumstances it was believed the Con-
vention could not present other nominees
who would combine any greater elements
of strength or who could make the canvas
with any better prospects of success. These
conclusions are no reflection upon the polit-
ical integrity Of the members of the County
convention or of the democracy of the
county; and, the fact that, if the indepen-
dent candidates, each and all of them, had
been regularly nominated by the county
convention, they could not have been any
more acceptable personally to the democ-
racy than they now are, or commanded the
support of democrats any more heartily,
renders the position of the independents
stronger and greatly enlarges the freedom
| 20 L. ba nd nj
ticket is one which ought to bring large
accessions of strength outside of the dem
ocratic party, and certainly the we'll known
character and high standing of the persons
on that ticket are such that every democrat
in the county can give them his earnest
cordial and consistent support. Let ever;
democrat work heartily and thoroughly, lei
the organization be active and complete il
every township and at every voting pre-
cinct, and let US have strong full vote anC
a vote from every democrat without fail.
Such we know were the sentiments anC
the wishes Of the county convention, ant
from the expressions Of large number o
democrats before and since the convention
, we know this to be their sentiment. 1t
therefore expected that the democrats vii
organize thoroughly in every township anC
make effective the various democratic
clubs in the county, to the end that fuI

cratic vote be polled, together with tn
support the independent candidates wi
receive from the more liberal and fail
minded portion of the republican part
aud of the independent voters, that it wi

THE METHODIST EXCURSION TO
ENON SPRINGS.
a New Camp Meeting Association
Formed

The Methodist picnic to Enon Springs,
on the Mercer county road, come of on
Thursday. The train, consisting of four
crowded coaches. left this city shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock. During the day meeting
of the most prominent men from this city,
Davenport and Moline was held, which
was presided over by Mr. c. II. Stoddard,
the manager of the excursion, the object
being the formation of a new camp meet
ing association. Speeches favorable to
the new grounds were made by Rev. H.M.
Laney, of this city, Rev. j. W. Haney, of
Moline, and Messrs. L. w. Spencer, A.
Manville and j. 6. G. Cavendish. 10 re-
ply Hon. P. L. Gable stated that he would
donate $1,000 to the association to be used
in putting the grounds in frst-class condi-
ton; would carry passengers from Rock
Island to the Springs and return for IS
cents, and ore-ffth of the receipts to be
given to the association for two years.
The meeting then appointed a com,
mittee. consisting of G. II. Stoddard. j.
II. Kaufman. J. H. Wilson and E. W.
Spencer, Rock Island; NJ Hartzell
and Henry Truxell, Moline; H. P Beattie
and J. G. g. Cavendish, Davenport, and
H. NJ. Coon, Milan, who were authorized
to purchase the grounds and make all ar
rangements necessary for the formation
of an association which will be entirely
independent of the district camp meeting
grounds south of Milan.
The committee will hold meeting in

Climatic.

1t it we'll known that ''roughing it, in
the mountains will produce some wonder
full changes in the tourists appearance
The most remarkable instance has just
transpircd here. Mr.. Sim. Stoddard, for
some time in the G. r. l. & P. depot,in this
city, has just returned from a three
months trip to the mountains of Colorado
and the great west, where he has been
feeding on mountain trout, bear meat,
buffalo, deer, and pure air till he hardly
knows himself. He went up to the state
fair at FreepOrt, just as he was, whiskers
and all, where his father, S. B. Stoddard,
was in charge of the Moline wagons. He
had q nice visit with the old gent
who told him all about "his boy" out in
the mountains, and what a nice time he
was having, and then he explained the
beauties of the Moline wagons, and how
large numbers of them were made at Mo
line. The old gent had nearly convinced
the young man that Moline was a nice
place for him to settle, when he discovered
that be was his own son. Well, well. these
boys are so smart. The old gent sticks to
it that the Moline wagon is the best, but
he will never consent to any of his family
going to the mountains again.

As Predicted by The Argus, Beynon
Proves to be a Fraud.

The rolling mill and nail works over
which the Monmouth people and few
other persons not many miles from this
city made such a fuss has gone up a
spout" The committee, who visited Mr..
Beynon's mill in Cleveland, reported,
according to the Monmouth atlas, that
lit is sufficient to say that the committee
found the mills about where Mr.. Beynon
said they were, but that he had no
pecuniary interest in them, having only an
option for their purchase which he had
obtained with the expectation of selling
the mills for double their value and lining
his own pockets with the proceeds. This
discovery of course ended negotiations
with that gentleman.

Well Pleased.i

Our neighbor, the Union, has para
graph on the outside Of its yesterdays
issue expressing its great satisfaction as to
the result of the Democratic County Con-
vention and its action in not making NOM
nations at this time, and makes believe
that it could not have been better pleased
with the proceedings if it had had the fixing
of them up ITSELF
On the inside. as leader, it sends up a
most pitiful complaint, regular jeremiade
against non, partisan candidates, and urges
the absolute necessity Of party success
being obtained only through the agency of
the regular machinery-all of which is
greatly at variance with the great satisfac-
ton elsewhere expressed. Itwould appear
to an unprejudiced observer as if the Union
was trying to be smiling and cheerful on
the outside, but is wofuIly convulsed and
torn up inwardly.
In its great desire to make out there is
no such thing as being non partisan it
makes one or two errors of statement
which we desire to correct.
We would say to our contemporary that
when Mr.. Blanding was elected county
school commissioner he was strictly an in
dependent candidate, making the canvas
against the Rev. Mr.. Carr, of Moline. who
had been nominated by both the republi
can and democratic conventions And il
may be further stated that when he wa!
candidate for county judge and made thu
contest with Judge Guyer he was in nj
sense party candidate, not being the nom
inee at that time of any political party
Mr.. Banding has never been before th,
people of this county as party nomine'
for any Office whatever.
