What the Bilious Require.

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief
cause of its disorder. it is evident that
what the bilious require is an alternative
stimulant which will arouse it to activity,
an effect that is followed by the disappear
ance of the various symptoms Indicative
of its arrangement. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters invariably achieve the primary
result mentioned. besides removing the
constipation, fatulence, heartburn, yell
Iowness of the skin, and whites of the
eyes, pain in the right side and under the
right shoulder, nausea, vertigo, and sick
headache, to which bilious invalids are
peculiarly subject As remedy for
chronic indigestion, mental dependency
and nervousness the Bitters are equally
efficacious, and as renovant of lost vlgor,
a means of arresting premature decay, and
a source of relief from the infrmities to
which the gentler sex is peculiarly subject.
they may be thoroughly relied upon.

The Unhealthy Water.

The drainage ofour city sewers pumped
back to us through the water work to
drink is certainly unfit for use. Any per
son Of common sense knows that-and
ought to know that water impregnated
with the discharge of sewers will produce
diarrhpa and feyers in aggravated forms
That the water furnished through our
water works is unfit for use is generally
believed, and probably on Monday evening
the committee on that subject will make a
report which will establish that belief
We wait for that committee to make re-
port, backed with such medicals authorities
as will be worthy of confdence-not a
rambling verbal report, but a written re-
port, which can be laid before the people,
The people expect to pay the doctors for
their labor, and it should be in such a
form as will be of some use when they
get it, We will not anticipate their re-
port by quoting from medical works to
show the effect of sewage upon the hu,
man system, but we wish to make one
extract from the opinion of the Interna-
tional Medical Congress for 1876. which
convened in Philadelphia on the 4th of last
September, and which was the most dis
tinguished medical gathering ever assem-
bled on this continent, 1t was composed
of 447 delegates-7l of them from foreign
countries, representing England, Ireland,
Scotland, Belgium. Denmark, Prussia,
Austria, Russia, Norway, Finland, Aus
tralia, Japan, the Argentine Republic
Cuba, Mexico and Canada. That body
adopted report on the Disposal anG
Utilization of Sewage and Refuse, il
which, among other conclusions, they say
4. Conditions sufficient for sanitary
security are afforded by the discharge o.
sewage at considerable distance from
town into the sea, or into a large anC
rapid river, whose water, at least for DaGn1
miles beLoaU the erit Of the SeaOerS, is moi
used for drinking.
That the sewerage of this city affects thu
water is very certain; and that it will d.
so more and more, as time progresses, ii
also certain. Charcoal filters at the mouth
of the sewers, and renewed often, would
probably prevent or lesson the contamina
ton of the water,-but the best way is t.
move the pumping works up to the foot 0
goth street and run pipe out to the BIZ
bridge and procure water from that point

The Kittell-Hall Bastardy Case.

The following additional witnesses in
the Kittell- Hall bastardy case have been
examined since 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, for the defense: AL Coyne, Dave
Ulam, Menas Exner, Harry NJ, Hall (the
defendant), Chas Brown.
Jacob R. Huber, NJ. j. Murphy, Jacob
Wollenhaupt, George Snyder and C.. B.
Knox, were called for the. prosecution,
to prove the bad character generally Of
the witnesses for the defense.
Ike Haley was called by the prosecu-
ton to prove that Frank Thornton wanted
him to help swear Harry out" but not
much of his testimony was admitted.
VIM. johnson was also called by the
prosecution and swore that Hall had a
private disease seven years ago.
Attachments have been issued for Ed.
Chopper and Joe Slater, to compel their
attendance.
The court informed counsel that the
case would be decided at 6 o'clock this
evening-whether the evidence was all in
or not, The interest is undated.
The Charles Patterson, named in this
paper yesterday, is not the Charles Pat
terson employed in Buford's Plow Works,
but is a man of the same name, from
Davenport.

The Worlds Fair.

The Iona State Leader. of Des Moines
has the following in regard to Somerby's
Worlds Fair which appears at Darts Hall,
commencing on Monday evening next
Rufus Somerby's Worlds Fair opened
at the Opera House last night, and in
spite of the unpleasant weather succeeded
in attracting fine audience. 1t is but
just to say that the entire entertainment
more than exceeded the expectations
of the audience. The paintings were
beautiful in design, faithful in detail
and absolutely faultless in accuracy, and
were delineated by Mr.. SomerDy. who
held his audience spell-bound by his vivid
description ard his wonderful evolutionary
powers. Comic songs and sweet ballads
we're lnterpersed by Mr.. and Mrs. Shaffer,
and were highly relished by the audience.
The Royal Marionettes were excessively
funny and elected peals Of laughter.
In addition to all these attractions a
series of elegant gifts were distributed
among the audience.

Our water works committee could have
built cheap. rough board building on the
leyee. at the foot of 10th or 10th streets,
put the new pump in it, laid water main
out to the point of the Island, and given
us clean, pure and healthy water with but
little if any more expense than they have
already incurred in putting the pump in
its present locality.
The mistakes of their predecessors seem
to be of no value at all to them nobody
profits by them, The pumping works
were wrongly located and the people will
yet compel change to place where pure
and healthful water can be obtained. The
water at the point of the Island comes
booming and boiling off the rapids, having
been churned and thrashed over the rocks
for 20 miles, and in all that distance there
is nothing to render it fifty or impure-nor
is there likely ever to be anything there to
| render it impure. 1t is from the foot OF
the rapids that Davenport obtains water.
They had the good sense to profit by our
mistakes, and located their works in the
right place, and it is from that point that
we must obtain water if we ever get sup
ply of good water.
The outrage perpetrated on our people
by the Carter administration was an intol-
cradle one. The works we're ordered
without consulting the people, and in alb
solute contempt and defiance of the people
who must pay the debt. Then
Int was found that under the legal
assessment made the issue of bonds
would be plainly illegal. Another assess
ment was ordered by the Carter admins
tration, and ordered to be made big enough
This was scandalous trick, and its leg
atty is questioned Then the works were
CONSTRUCTED with such utter disregard Of
lcommon sense that they were ridiculeG
| by nearly everybody. The foundations
the mains all froze up and bursted; the
bitches had to be sunk deeper and new
mains laid, the filtering works were worth
less and had to be built over, etc, etc
etc. showing trick on tae people in th'
first place, and incompetent management
ever since.
/ Another instance of incompetent man
lagement was the spelling of Moline avenue
and the throwing away OF the people
, money on that sawdust nuisance. If GU
! city officers had taken pains to go on thu
J bluffs back of Davenport, or had enquireC
| of anybody who had ever driven a bugg,
J there. they would have learned that tn
saw dust covering for macadamized road
} was worse than worthless Common sens
: ought to have taught anyone better thai
to use it. But we suppose if those VIII
ordered it had not the sense to know tina
/ it was worse than worthless they woul'
! not have the sense to- make any inquire
} on the subject.
The mistakes of the past ought to b
guide posts for the present, to enable thos
: now in Office to travel the right road.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common ID
the country as scarcely to need comment
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the griEdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the

St. Louis Railroad Notes.

A handsome new frame depot has just
been erected at Upper Alton, in place of
the one recently burned there,
Henry Ward Beecher will lecture in
Sterling on Thursday evening the 18th.
aud at the request of the lecture com
mitteei there Gen. Dana, superinten
dent of the road, has decided to start a
train from this city at 2:3O in the after
noon, instead of at $40, in order to accom-.
modate all people who would like to attend
the lecture. The train will arrive in Ster-
ling at o'clock in the evening and will re-
turn in the morning.
Since January lst, 200 new bridges
have been commenced on the line of the
road, and &c have been completed. The
road is divided into six divisions of bridge
carpenters, while two extra gangs are kept
constantly on the road to assist in any
place where the job has to be completed
without delay. A new substantial Howe
truss bridge has just been completed
across Henderson creek; another will be
completed across Green river in about lC
days.
There has been considerable talk o.
throwing $4,000 iron bridge across The
Rock river on the Cleveland branch, this
spring, but 1t has been decided that {
Howe truss wooden bridge will be built in
stead.
During the past three months 700 tom
of new rails and 100000 new ties have beer
put on the road, the work being done b,
a special CONSTRUCTION train put on for tina
purpose. 1t is estimated that 300,O0l
new ties and 1000 tons of steel rails will b,
put in during the coming summer. Abou
one-half the ties comet from Southern
Illinois and are delivered in East st
Louis, while the balance are procured
along the line of the road.
Several fine, new coaches for a nev
passenger train are being built at Aurora
and will be out in few days. Each coacl
will be built with Millers patent platform
and couplers. The color of all coache
and cars on the road has been or will b
made to conform with that of the coache
on the c. B. & q. road.
The coaling station at Roseville ha
been abandoned and one has been estab
lished at Monmouth instead.
Mr.. Ryder. the newly appointed maste
of transportation, spends most of his tim
on the road, and general improvement i
regard to the. running of trains may b
expected.
The locomotive and car department
have been consolidated at Beardstown, an
placed in charge of Mr., H. Whiting, tn
division master mechanic, who succeed
Mr.. Farrar, of the locomotive department
and Mr.. Nolte, of the car department..
The st. l.. R. l, 4 q. may be expecte
to be put in as good order as the G. B.
Q. fast as men and money can oft, and
as run as smart and as handsome trains.
