The 2ad Street Sewer.

In 1875, when Mayor Butler was an
alderman from the Fourth ward, he was
appointed On1-a committee to establish a
permanent grade in this city and also to
locate the various public sewers. That
committee did not then recommend the
building of public sewer on 23d street.
lately Broadway-and. as the city council
adopted the report of the committee, any
sewer constructed on that street without
proper action of the council will have to be
paid for by the people living on the line Of
that street, who are at present anxious to
have their cellars drained. Besides this,
the council had better get enough money
to pay the poor laborers who have already
been working for the city before it com-
mences on another big job-and one which
will only benefit few. Had the com.
mittee recommended that public sewer
be constructed on 23d street then the
people would probably not object to its
being built when the city had the money,
but as the case now is neither the mayor
or Alderman Davis, another member Of
the committee, can consistently vote for
its construction after reporting that o
sewer at that place was not necessary.

There is Danger Ahead

When those unusually active little organs,
the kidneys, are neglectful of their duties
and grow sluggish. Fatty degeneration,
Bright's. disease, diabetes, and other
dangerous maladies, are the result of ne
glect to remedy this inactivity by medicinal
means. When the all important functions
of the kidneys are imperfectly discharged,
those organs need stimulating. and the
best possible agent for that purpose
since it performs its Office without. exciting
them-is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which, in combination with its tonic and
cathartic properties, possesses valuable
qualities as a diuretic. Both kidneys and
bladder are strengthened by it, and the
vigor which it imparts to them, and the
gentle but effectual impulse which it gives
to their operations, is the best possible
guaranty against their becoming diseased
The Bitters are invaluable in other re-
spects as well as the above. since they
remedy general debility. uterine troubles,
chills aud fever. dyspepsia, constipation.

what was ION the bills, the cultured and
critical audience present expected some
thing of higher and more classical style
from Quartette bearing the reputation
musicale that the Temple" does. Not a
single piece rendered bpt was within the
range Of amateur quartettes such as this
city and Davenport possesses. There
was nothing brilliant or difficult in the
numbers selected-but as We have said
no fault can be found with the manner of
rendering what they were pleased to sing.
Possibly the members from Boston"
thought they were grading, in their pro-
gramme, the limit of appreciation and
musical understanding of a Davenport
audience. AS the initiatory of the course,
it was unfortunate that the Temple
Quartette" gave so mediocre an entertain
ment, for they are capable of better things,
but the ladies Of the Library Associa-
ton are not to blame. though among the
unfavorable comments passed by many
after the one hours entertainment of last
evening, there were some uncharitable
remarks infused in regard to the compit>

In order to let the people know what class
of men are so anxious to give Crompton a
good "karackter" we will simply state that
this man McDermott is the same person
who, last spring, made complaint, before
Justice Baker. 1--WE Think of Hampton,
