Or. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription.

The term, however is but feeble expression
OF my high appreciation Of its value, based upoE
my own personal observation. AS close OBJ
server, have while witnessing its positive re-
suits in the few special diseases incident to the
separate organism of woman, singled it out as
the climax or croWning gem OF my
medical career. On its merits, as posi-
tive, safe, and efectual remedy for this class
OF diseases, and one that will, at all times and
under all circumstances, act kindly and in har-
mony with the laws which govern the female
system, am willing to stake my reputation as
physician. Nay, even more, so confident am
that it Will not disappoint the most sanguine
expectations of a single invalid lady who uses ii
for any of the ailments for which recommend it,
that offer and sell It under A POSITIVE
GUARANTEE. II beneficial effect is not

most perfect confidence in its virtues, could not

The following are among those diseases In
which my Favortte Prescription has
worked cures, as if by magic, and with 9 GER
tainty never before attained by any medicine:
Leucorrhea, Excessive Flowing, Painful
Monthly Periods, Suppression when from un-

Burglary.

Last night the store of Stewart &
Montgomery, wholesale hardware dealers
was burglarized and FIVE revolvers, lot Of
cartridges and one or more pocket knives,
Entrance was effected by cutting the glass
from one of the eide windows. Three young
men, strangers, who were seen prowllng
around the Western Union freight depot,
late last night,are supposed to be the par
ties who committed the burglary. The
thieves were evidently scared off as they
could easily have taken hundreds oi
dollars worth of goods, had they 80 desired
besides the cash drawer remained intact
and apparently no attempt was made to
force it. Thus far there is no trace of the
robbers.

Bodies Recovered.

This morning about o'clock the body
of one of the men drowned on Sunday
last, at the mouth of Duck Greek, was
found floating near the Davenport side,
and was hauled ashore and taken to Coro-
ner Basch's where an inquest was held and
the man identified as John Pierson.
Another one of the bodies was recovered
about 10 o'clock near Credit Island, sup.
posed to be Swan johnson, it was taken to
the Office Of the Scott county Qowa) coro-
ner, and held for Identification and inquest.
The bodies were terribly swollen and
black, almost beyond recognition. The re-
suit of the last inquest was not learned.
The heavy storm of last night no doubt
helped the bodies TO float.
LATER R.-Since the above was 10 tpye
the other bodies have been recovered and
taken to Davenport for inquest. Bloom,
whom everybody supposed would be
locked with Westerburg, was found near
Credit Island, while Westerburg was the
last one caught, he and Swan johnson be-
ing the last recovered floating through the
bridge about 80 yards apart. The body
OF Bloom was recovered by fisherman,
and il is stated Charles Ziegler. secretary
Of the Mississippi Valley Grove, u. A. q.
D.. and d, M. Mabie, N. A., of the same

caught. This settles the question of dis

Sewers.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
In a communication in this morning q
issue of the Rock Island Union, member
of the council advances as a reason for
recording his vote in opposition to the con
struction by the city of sewer on 18th
street, to carry off the sewage from the
new theatre building-that the residents
of 23rd street were asked by the city
council to pay towards the construction Of
their improvement seventh-ninths of the
entire cost, and that the refusal to bear
the entire expense of an improvement
upon said street was just and sufi-
cient cause for like legislation upon 10th
street. Does Mr., Warnock presume to
persuade the citizens of our city that the
comparison is just one-that there is NOT
an important distinction between the two
which il will not be difficult for the average
citizen to distinguish.
Did not the city council appropriate tc
be exDeDded upon the 23rd sewer the sum
of $740, with no probability that one dol
lar of it would ever be received again by
the city, either as a water rent, or as tax
upon the enhanced value of the property
in the vicinity for the expenditure
If the construction of the sewer had taken
place it would have been made for reasons
other than the returns which would iu
most cases form a satisfactory reason for
making the outlay; what then was the
object in voting such a large amount while
the finances OF the city were insufficient to
meet the demands continually made upon
them-simply this, that by tfre-making OF
that appropriation the expenditure OF
nearly $1,000 would be secured, and
thereby employment furnished to those
who we're both destitute and idle,-that
was the principal incentive which induced
the council to make so liberal an appro-
priation for the benefit of few,
If then the city council was justified
in their acts upon the 23d street matter,
how infinitely greater the reason that the
10th street should be built where $4,000
has been expended by liberal and enter
prising citizen and where the return each
year from the money thus expended by
the city will nearly or quite equal the
total amount of the outlay. We agreed
to make a donation of upwards of 500

Ionlgnt at o'clock, the merchants of
this city win meet at Mitchell & Parsons
store to consider the best means for re-
tanning the business of Rock Island, where
it properly belongs-here. It is the duty
Of every business man and property owner
to be there and encourage the move ment
which should succeed, and can if proper
spirit is shown.
While devising means TO retain our local
trade, itshould:be borne in mind that "re-
form begins at home" It's fact sus-
ceptible of proof that merchants in Rock
Island allow their families to trade in
Davenport, when they should prevent it
and could if they SO desired. 1t is equally
we'll known that great many go to Dav
enport who could be restrained from 50
doing bY closer attention to special"
wants of customers. It is also fact that
many people 60 to Davenport not
because they can buy any cheaper, but be-
cause it sounds" little better. The
writer Of this knows Of a property owner
here, who makes his money here, rents his
property here. and is indebted to this COM
munity for euery dollar he as aoorth, yet
goes to Davenport for fancy hose and
clothing, just for style, when if he tried
our own merchants, they could get up bet
ter clothes and sell him just as fne hosiery
and at Is to 20 per cent. less money than
he pays over the river. Again we know
of lady who went to Davenport to buy a
chandelier, after visiting May Bros, and
then told how cheap she had purchased it
when in fact May Bros. would have sold
her the same style for $3.50 less, which
was old and out of date and which they
did not show her, thinking she would moi
care to look at anything not strictly in
fashion. 1t is all Imagination about buy.
ing cheaper in Davenport than here-it
cannot be done. Our merchants can sell
just as cheap and cheaper. They buy al
low and lO,oer than Davenport business
men and they can and do sell for cash
less than Davenport ever dared to do
Then again, admitting for argument sake
that goods can be bought as cheap in Dav.
export as here, or even, in some lines 6
per cent. cheaper, the citizens of this
town, who earn their money here, and
are indebted to the community fol
all they have. should be acilling to pGs
eUen more for their goods an Rock IsldnC
rather than hurt the town by going tt
Davenport. No business man, property
owner, laborer, mechanic, or citizen car
afford to trade in Davenport. The inter
ests of the city demand that the trade o.
this city be retained and as step in tha
direction, let our merchants advertise
their prices. Let the people know wha
you have for sale, and put your prices

The Storm.

Probably the worst storm of the season
was that Of Monday evening, The light
ming was terrific and the thunder rolled as
if the avenging bolts of heaven were lei
loose. The forked and lurid glare of the
lightning, the terrific crash of the thunder,
and the peltinq rain. which fell in torrents
made. scene of awful grandear. AS
nearly as can be ascertained no damage
was done, except at Anawalt & Denkman's &
mill, where the lightning struck the stack
tracing its way down to the conducting
chains and thence into the ground; this
was narrow escape. Some trees, near
SinDets addition were rent asunder, and
near Coal Valley, some fencing. torn in
splinters and the ground plowed up, but
beyond this no casualties are reported from
lightning.
The rain washed out portion of the
Mercer County Railroad bridge at Cable
delaying the train, which was repaired
this morning and the train arrived at &c
o'clock this afternoon. No other wash
outs are reported, 1t was rumored this
morning that the w. U. r. r. was washed
cut near Port Byron junction, but inquiry
of Mr.. butcher, the agent failed to cor
roborate the statement. Like reports
were circulated in reference to the C. r. I.
u P, but inquiry proved the reports un.
founded. The storm was the most severe
that has visited US this season and the
great wonder is that there was SO little
damage done.

view a standing eye sore. This is no idle
menace but fact which our Intelligent
