A Small Party Trick that Didn't Win.

a Small Party Trick that Didn't Win.
The pig-headed scheme Of Sup'rs Bell
ana Dave Reid to prevent the publication
Of the supervisors proceedings in THE AR
GUS didn't work. We are informed that
Sup'r Bell, in making his report to the
board, said he called at THE ARGUS Office
and was told that they had no proposition
to make, and didn't care anything about
publishing the proceedings anyway" 1t
Mr.. Bell called at this Office no one knew
it. Mr.. Jones remembers that some young
man, stranger, asked him, Wednesday
evening. if THE ARGUS would publish the
proceedings for any less sum than last
year and was answered that it would not.
The stranger then remarked that he had
been to the Union Office and they wouldn'
publish them for less sum than last year
and then he volunteered the very truthful
remark, that he thought the newspapers
were poorly paid, anyhow. and walked
away. Who he was Mr.. Jones does not
know. He may have been supervisor OF
he may have been tramp. One would
suppose that, if he was a supervisor,
sent out on official business, he would have
introduced himself, and made himself and
his business known, or brought along some
one to introduce him. But, from the
fact that Bell and Dave Reid reported in
favor of their own party papers only, il
looks just little bit as though they in
tended to make party, thing Of it. After
they had made their report Judge Kistler
supervisor for Buffalo Prairie, called al
this Office and enquired into the matter
Sup'r. Aster also called afterwards, tc
enquire. And when the board met in the
afternoon Judge Kistler thoroughly rid

on motion of Sup'r. Taylor, of Edgington
THE ARGUS was placed on the same footing

that four supervisors BELL. Cool, DALEY

SHOOTING at Fishermen

A young gentleman, named VIM. VIII
son informs US that he and Henry Will
son went out on the Sylvan water in a
skiff, this morning, to fish. He says they
anchored their skill at Devils Rock,
within about 20 feet of the main shore
and perhaps within 30 feet of the govern.
ment dam. This was about half past
. o'clock. They soon heard some one
call from the house near the Island shore
on the top of the dam. They could not
understand what he said, and called back
to come over on the dam where they could
know what he wanted, He did not move
nor did they hear him again, but in OF
minutes he fired at them the ball strik.
ing the wall behind and near them. They
then moved to the shore fastening theil
sklff to bush and commenced fishing
again. The guard moved out of the house
down on the Island shore, and called ou

it was. in moment ortwo. even before
they had time to unfasten their skiff, ht

Ought not the rules of the post be poste'

1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines to be able to state that 1t is nearly 80
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used
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 or country
hospital, private practice they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
tion and produced the most salutary and benehciSl
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 gu
periority over other prep nations for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines req re considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
extractive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, II not rendered totally inert by
injudicious and unskilful management OF those
unacquaiDted 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 each
individual may adopt. 1t is, therefore, OF the
highest consideration and Importance to the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be standard
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessing
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviatt
the Inconvenience alluded TO, have made
number OF experiments to ascertain the mos
efectual means OF extracting the virtues OF Sar-
saparilla and the Buchu, aud to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and it is witt
much pleasure 1 now offer TO the public and thu
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, which
contain all the virtues of the medicines, and ar
the most active preparations Of either which can
made.
Two tablespoonful OF the Extract OF Zarsapa

bon Diet Drink, and one bottle Is fully equal TO
