These three sharpers took advantage of
this, stole one of the knives and converted
it into saw, sawed off the bolts to the
cage in which they were confined, and then
sawed the bolts in the window, and, on
Saturday night, the 18th, packed up their
dry goods and silently stole away, leaving
a note to the sheriff thanking him for the

were obliged to ruin its edge. kilograms

Every day the advantages of Rock Is
land, as business centre become more
apparent and scarce a month or week
passes but some new enterprise springs
into existence. 1t is also a noticeable fact
that our merchants sustain an enviable

ideas and as a result, the various mercan.

most 10 this vicinity is l. Epstein whose
reputation is known and well esta blished
both here and over wide range of con-
tiguous territory as the leading jeweler in
the three cities. For years Mr.. Epstein
has retained this rank undsputed and his
stock has at ali times been the most COM
plete and varied this side of Chicago
Established over 10 years ago, he has
steadily increased his business and to-day
stands unrlvalled anywhere for the quality
of goods, and uniformly low prices. For
the past few years in connection with his
jewelry business Mr.. Epstein has also
dealt largely in musical merchandise
The latter branch, at first an experiment,
has proved decided success, and encour-
aged by the patronage extended, and to
conform to the wishes of large number
of our citizens who have the business in
terests of the city at heart, he has decided
to close out the immense stock of .jewelry,
etc., now on hand at net cost and open
a mammoth musical emporium which, when
fully stocked and started, will be ahead Of
all competition in this vicinity and not
excelled, if equalled, this side of Chicago
This announcement will be hailed as rare
opportunity for bargains in first class
ewelry, watches, silver ware, ETC.. which
he will positively and unreservedly sell for
net cost. This is no humbug pronuncia-
mento made with desire to get rid Of
surplus of stock at reduced prices in or

Illinois is Proud of Him.

Since Stephen A. Douglas was first
elected to congress no other man has been
elected from this state who has sprang so
suddenly to the front and so ably main
tanned himself as Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer,
of the Springfield district. When the
centennial corporation was organized its
friends pledged themselves not to ask any
money from the United States-all they
wanted, they said, was the approval of the
congress. The next year they came into
congress and whined for an appropriation
Of Il million of dollars to help on their
speculation. They said they only wanted
to borrow the money, and Mr. Springer
moved and carried proyisio to the bill
that no dividend should be paid to tine
stockholders until the million and hall
borrowed was returned to the United
States. They hated the pro7isio, but had
to swallow it. Now, when the show
Is over. they refuse to pay back
the borrowed money. and Uncle Sam has
sued for it, and Mr.. Springer, as will be
seen by our kilograms, is fighting loI
Uncle Sam. Everybody should hope hi
will succeed.
During the closing days of the infamous
electoral commission fraud Mr. Springer
was the leader in the house in preventin,
the rushing to completion of that frauC
before the Democrats could have an oppor
tunity to express their opinions upon tn,
enormities Of Joe Bradley & Co., anC
their steal. He there displayed a knowl
edge Of parliamentary tactics and persis
tent defense of the rights of the min
GRITTY which attracted the attention of tn
nation, and won for him great praise
even from some Republican newspapers
He is, to-day, the leading man from Lii
nois, and the Democracy have great hope
lfor his future.

NATURES HIGHWAY TO HEALTH The
human body is admirably formed to receive
IL various ways healing influences, but
science points out that the absorbents are
the grand avenues by which diseases are
reached and dssipated. This principle
has been verified by the remarkable sue
cess of the great pain mollifier, Camphorine,
which is of so delicate nature that it will
not stain the finest linen, yet so eficacious
in all cases of rheumatism and kindred
affections, catarrh, pains in the limbs,
burns, scalds and wounds, that the taking
of internal medicines for such cases has
been wisely abandoned.

The Meeting at the Court House To-
Morrow night.
The delegates to the Democratic meet
ing tomorrow night we suppose are aware
that it is only by nominating unobjection-
able men that they can or should succeed.
There is no opposition to Mr.. Aster-
everybody seems to be for him. And he
has made so good an officer that we hear
many Republicans are in favor of nominal
ing him at their meeting Many will vote
for him anyhow. The proposal of the
name of Geo. W. Henry, by the First
ward, for one of the assistants, also meets
much favor. Mr., Henry has been a
member of the board of supervisors from
Hampton, and his experience is worth
something. He is an intelligent, active
and efficient man. By all means, Mr.
Philleo's name should be approved fol-
assessor. 1t will render it certain that nc
inferior and incompetent man gets into thai
very responsible position. We trust
the delegates will see to it that no in
competent and unfit man is Endorsed fol

enough to find suitable men who are I'm
Objectionable to the voters generally. they
may, with proper work, hope,for SUCCESS.
