Criminal Matters in Davenport


On Tuesday, in the district court in
Davenport, the following criminal cases,
before mentioned in THE ARGUS, were
disposed of:
Ambrose Bone, charged with the muir
der of Minnie Brennicke, withdrew his
former plea of "not guilty" and entered
a plea of guilty of manslaughter, "
which was accepted by the state,
district attorney feeling that, from
the surroundings of the case, Bone
never intended murder. Taking into
consideration the fact that ne came in and
gave himself up. it is more than likely
that the court will give him but compare
lively light sentence.
The case of Tod Tyner, for robbing
Michael Totzky of silver watch and $l5
in money out on Cork Hill, on the I'd OF
April last, occupied the attention of the
court during the afternoon. He plead mot
guilty" and the case was given to the
jury before dinner. The jury rendered
verdict of guilty.
Timothy, Burke, SCHUYLER and KIRK
plead guilty to the charge of assault with
intent to commit great bodily injury upor
| Henry Oshar, and were sentenced as fol
lows: Timothy, Burke and Schiller, to &C
days in the county jail; Kirk, 80 days.
In the case of Henry Hahn, indicted
for malicious threats In attempting Il
blackmail, by writing letters threatening
scandalous false revelations to the wife o
plaintiff, Geo, Wagner, of this city, de
PENDANT plead not guilty, and jury beinI
waived, was tried to court, found guilty IAN,
sentenced to pay a fine of $3.50 and costs

Correction of the Council Proceeding

Correction of the Council Proceeding
The proceedings of the last meeting of
the city council will be found in this paper
The clerk states that the minutes of the
asst meeting were corrected-but fails to
tell what the corrections were. 1t is inn
possible for one man to do all the reading
required at council meeting and
also write out the minutes. The board
should employ a reading clerk for meetings
only, or man to write down the proceed
ings as they occur and let the clerk dc
the reading, The public business would
thus be transacted with greater despatch
and the meetings would not be near az
lengthy and wearisome.
One correction was to insert the name Of
each alderman present in the minutes, anC
not say, present, all the aldermen"
Another was. for the repairing of Loutl
street, and not Eighth avenue, Tor ole
| South street)-as was published.
! The third and last correction was in The
proposition or petition of the Rock ISLAND
Gas Co. The minutes read that the com
pany wanted the city to erect 100 new
street gas posts-the cost being $4,000
The minutes should have read that tht
company wanted the city to authorize l.
additional street lamps, making 100 lamp
in all, and the company proposed, should
the city do this, to light them all fo
$4,000 per year. Last year the city paiC

HELMBOLD'S
OF BUCHU.

This Preparation contains no narcotic or injurious
drug Nor is II a quack nostrum, recon-
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-
cines 10 be able to state that it is nearly 30
years since they were first introduced during
which time they have been extensively used in
various parts Of the United States and have given
10 patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed; whether in town country,
hospital, or private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
ton, and produced the most saluary and benefciSl
effects Numerous letters have been received from
some 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 prepaI ations for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines reqT re 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 unfrequently
much impaired II not rendered totally inert by
injudicious and unskiliul management of those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations
Numerous preparations OF Sarsaparilla and OF
Buchu, and various modes of preparing them
have been given all Of which, Of course, will differ
according to the mode of preparation which eact
individual may adopt. 1t is, therefore, OF thu
highest consideration and Importance TO the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be STANDARD
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessin!
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviat
the Inconvenience alluded TO, have made
number OF experiments TO ascertain the mos
enectual means of extracting the virtues OF sar
saparia and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and II is witt
much pleasure now offer to the public and tn
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, whic
contain all the virtues OF the medicines. and ar
