POLICE MATTERS.

Friday, Jupe Last evening a II
year old boy named Mike Kane struck a
negro Lamed Henry Mittlebarger in the
left eye, without the slightest propagation.
Kane was drunk at the time, and when
Policeman Metsch attempted to arrest
him he fought hard, and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that he was lodged in
Jail. This forenoon he was brought before
Justice Hayden, but took a change of
venue to Justice Chopper, where he plead
guilty to assault and was fined So and
costs. No money. Sent back to Jail
On his way 10 Jail Kane was arrested
ana taken before Justice Halves charged
by Policeman Metsch with assaultiDg and
resisting an officer. AS he was already

pired-June 1lth-when he will be tried
on this charge.

A Reliable Concern.

Enterprise in business is the key note of
success. 1t is the merchant who is per-
sistent that succeeds, not the man who
is always waiting for something to turn up.
A case in point is the firm of G. Fl. Dbl
bern & Co.. Milan, Ills, extensive
dealers in agricultural implements. This
concern has steadily increased it's trade
until it now ranks among the leading
houses of its class in this vicinity. Among
the many implements handled by the firm
is the celebrated Champion Mower and
Reaper. which is said TO be unequalled
anywhere. These machines have an ex-
cellent reputation and are becoming more
popular in this section each year. During
the present season, Dibbern & Co. agents
for this vicinity, have sold II Champions
which is card of itself. We take pleasure
in commencing Dibbern & Co., to the
farmers of this and adjoining counties as
first class and reliable concern.

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Helmbold's
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable IN GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism. dropsy, cuteneous
affections, and especially affections Of the
urinary organs. As diuretic, 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 il known
far aud 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 prepera-
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
hold's only.

Abolish the Railroad Car Peddling
Nuiaauca


One of the worst nuisances connected
with the railroads of the United States is
the pea nut and book peddler On many
of the railroads, as soon as passengers
are admitted to car a half dozen boys
rush through in quick succession, shouting
the names and prices of two or three
different newspapers. They are followed
by another coarse. dirty, ragged lot with
pop corn, pea nuts, bananas, candies, etc.
One would quite as soon stand or endure
martyrdom as to eat any article that has
been handled by these dirty vendors,
whose looks make many of the passengers
turn their faces, and whose odor leads
more than one to debate whether the
sense of SMELLS not quite as much o. an
infiction as blessing.
Next comes along spruce young man
of the by J-s" stripe. with weekly
papers, and covers your lap with samples
without Jour consent, and when you are
trying to read, or talk with a friend, or
perhaps to think or sleep. Presently he
returns, and does his utmost to strike a
bargain; if you happen to have paper of
your own he imsgines it is his, and sus-
poets you of intending to steal, whereupon
you are obliged to prove property or enjoy
the reputation of being thief. He goes
forward to the baggage car or some place
where he keeps his stock. and soon returns
with a huge armful of books Of the
trashy order, piling two or three of them
upon you without your consent,or dropping
them upon your seat. On his return
trip you are annoyed by his entreaties tC
buy and troubled to hand him his wares
Then he comes at the passengers
with prize packages of candy, etc.

mended for every disease; but for such
diseases as are here enumerated, VIZ: for Dis
eases Of the Bladder, all Diseases Of the Organs,
weakness, &C., whether in male or female, no
matter OF how long standing. 1t allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and Is pleasant to the taste.
1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cnes to be able to state that it is now nearly 80
years since they were first introduced; during
which time the. have been extensively used in
various parts Of the United States, and have given
to patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed; whether in town or country
hospital, private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
tion and produced the most salutary and benefciOl
effects Numerous letters have been received from
come Of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors Of several Med
ical Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value Of these medicines, and their su
periority over other preparations for such com
plants as the proprietor recommends
These medicines require considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
menstrual In successive operations to take up the
extractive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unirequently
much impaired, II not rendered totally inert By
iniudicious and unskiliul management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations of sarsaparlla and o
Buchu and various modes of preparing then
have been given, all OF which, Of course will dife

an account of the great pillow trial at Colum-

Mechanical College, of Columbia, and
which stated that the Davenport pillow
had been awarded the first premium for

as the following card from Professor

show. 1t is always a pleasure to

to feel proud of the result. The trial is

impartial and scientific ever held in the
country and was attended by leading man

Tracy which explains itself:
