Many improvements are being made to

addition is being added to the old building,

NATURES TRIUMPH Nature, in her
luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the
daIes with herb and shrub, whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific aud iuquiring mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifies for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable IN their nature, and while
quinine has been accepted as the ouly re-
me6y for one class. the extract of the Blu.
chu plant is rapidly taking its place as a SOY
ereign remedy for other OF those ills sfflicl
humanity. The type Of disease to which
it is remedial is broad one, and its mani.
festauons are legion. butt may be started
in general terms that all diseases of the

Under the above head the Rock Island
editor Of the Gazette, this morning severely
criticises the Union for that papers I'M
warranted and outrageous attack upon
Prof. J. f. Everett, superintendent Of our
city schools, and Mr.. s. w. McMaster,
president of the board Of education
because those gentlemen decided to
support Miss Kirkpatrick for the
Office of county superintendent of schools
in preference to Sturgeon. the republican
ring" candidate. After stating the po-
litical position Of the Gazette during the
present canvass the editor says
1T is because of this regard for the
success of the ticket, and because of our
knowledge of the views of very many OF
its warmest supporters that we cannot be
so negligent of duty as to pass without re.
buke the comments OF what is considered
republican paper. Zeal for the success
of its cause is no excuse for vulgarity; and
the reckless epithets which it attaches &c
those of our citizens holding the highesI
trusts meet with the disfavor and condem
nation of those the paper is over anxious
to serve. When one who has been fol-
some years chosen to superintend oul
public schools, one who has the confidence
of pupils and parents alike, is designated
political shambler," and held up to tn,

The DesMoines Rapids Canal.

1t would appear that the DesMoines
rapids canal at Keokuk will yet prove to
be more Of damage than a benefit to
navigation. 1t had hardly been opened
for business again, after the recent break,
when, Friday night, somebody who was
responsible, went to sleep or neglected his
duties, and left the slHice ways of the
canal open, and there was just lively
state Of affairs this morning. Every craft,
from steamer down to fiat boat, was
hard aground, and a fellow could have
heard more solid, hard swearing there in a
minute and half than be could if be
should associate with Zach Chandler for a
year. The locks were filed about noon,
and the different crafts pursued their
various ways.

get it, as they split open Wells Fargo

mail, wouldn't get 1t for months. as the
Postmaster is off on big drunk most of

bust If you know SOME friends coming to

he is sure to gamble it all off at Cheyenne.
