another Big Job,

Fred Hass returned this morning from
Springfield, where he has been Tor the
past week engaged 10 preparing bids for
the copper work. plumbing and gas fitting
for the new Southern Penitentiary, at
Chester. The bids were opened Thursday
There were large number offered, and so
varied were they that it is useless to at
tempt to give figures 1t seems that in
hardly any instance were the bids accord
ing to the specifications submitted by the
commissioners. The bid oil Mr. lass.
however, was all right, and was the lowest
notwithstanding the fact that he had for
competitors many:of the leading and most
successful contractors from Chicago, st.
Louis and other cities in this state, lndi-
ana, Iowa and Missouri As the bids
were very numerous and covered SO many
estimates it was not until last evening that
the ommissioDers awarded the contract.
| A dispatch to this city last night announc-
ed that Nelson & Co., of Fort Wayne, In
diana, having the lowest ($95,000) for erect.
ing the entire building, complete, were
allowed the contract. As Mr.. Hass' bid
was 10 connection with Nelson 4 Co., be
will receive sub contract for doing the
copper-work. plumbing and gas fitting.
Mr.. Hass also put in bids for the Argillo
works, of Carbon Cliff, for terra Gotta
tiles, aud Huot & Hipwell, of Daven-
port. for slate roofing, and he was the low
est bidder in each case, aud thus three
firms in this. vicinity will be interested in
the erection of the new penitentiary.

An Enterprising Merchant.

The well known reputation of Mr.. Ep-
stein, our popular jeweler needs no COM
ments from THE ARGUS, He generally
accomplishes whatever he undertakes, and
when our citizens learn that he is soon to
open store at Marshalltown, Iowa, it is
sufficient assurance that the Rock Island
merchant will do it handsomely. Epstein
recently purchased and has on exhibition
at his store a magnificent stock of elegant
watches, jewelry, silver plated ware, rings,
etc, intended for bis Marshalltown branch
which will remain here for 80 Gays. Per

ting that Sam Porter, our worthy and
Efficient county treasurer is dishonest.
Such a contemplate insinuation will only
make friends among all parties for Mr..
Porter and make those who know him best

Porter, he is certainly honest, and has

The ARGUS has avoided saying any
thing concerning Mr.. Porter's opponent,
Mr.. Crompton. that could be construed as
personal. What 1t does say is that Mr..
Crompton is incompetent and irresponsible
for the position he seeks, and the people Of
this county cannot afford to place him IN
so important an Office. 1t is even quec-
toned whether he could give the $3.50, 900
bond required by the office, while it is
morally certain be could not detect the

ovariotouay.

We copy the following from the Delmar
Journal published at Delmar, Clinton Co.,
Iowa, as exhibiting one of the most sue
eessful surgical operations known to the
medical profession. 1t is now the eighth
day since the operation was performed and
we are informed there is every prospect
that the patient viii be restored to health.
Such is the extrahazardous nature of
this operation that if the patient RECEIVERS
it may be ranked among the most brilliant
of operations, and will reflect great credit
upon DIR. Plummer and the distinguished
medical gentlemen who were present and
engaged with him in the performance of
the operation.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-Mrs. DR.. MeLaugh-
lin has been ailing for many months with
ovarian tumor. During the last few weeks
the disease became SO aggravated that to
bear the torture was almost beyond the
power of human endurance. The only
! remedy known to medical science, oVari-
tony, although it requires a superabun-
dance of nerve and pluck, was resorted to
on Friday. Dr. Plummer, assisted by
Drs. Carter and Eyster of Rock Island,
made an incision, and discovered and
removed not only one but two ovarian
tumors, combined weight of which was
nearly Is pounds. These tumors were
composed chiefly of pus, serum and gela-
tinous mass of other substances. The cyst
of one had adhered laterally to the poste-
rior wall of the abdominal cavity and was
so tender that it ruptured before it could
be removed, indicating clearly that life
could not have been prolonged beyond a
few days without an operation. Mrs. Nc
Laughlin is doing well, aud the doctors
deserve great credit for the professional
skill displayed in the removal of such
obstinate tumors. DIR. Plummer says it
was the most complicated case of the kind
be ever saw. Drs. Deeds and Scott OF
Delmar were present during the operation.
The patient after rallying from the anes-
thesia produced by chloroform sank rapidly
until life was despaired of, then again as
rapidly recovering she has continued tC
improve till strong hopes are now enter
tanned that she will soon be restored tC
health and happiness. DR.. Mclaughlin
