= Problem Long Since Solved.

How to remedy those prolific causes of
disease. an impoverished circulation and
an impaired digestion, was problem the
solution of which had often baf1ed medi-
cal skill, but which was solved over q
quarter of century ago by the introduc-
ton Of Hostetter's Stomach Ritters to pub.
lie and professional notice. Since that
time. which may we'll be said to have mi
tiated new epoch in the history of medi
cine, the remedy and preventive referred
to has obtained foothold in the confidence
of the American people that each succeed
ing year has only served TO strengthen
1t is recognized throughout the Union a!
tonic of the first order, a remedy for anC
sure means of preventing fever aud ague
and disorders of the stomach and bowels
as reliable means of reforming a disor
dered state of liver, and of counteracting
tendency to rheppatism, govt, urinar.
and uterine disorders.

The Hunchback.

Harper's Opera House. was we'll filled
last evening by fashionable and critical
audience to hear Miss Jane Coombs In
her PRESERVATION of Sheridan Knowles
character of Julia, 10 the hunchback
The play is fine one, and when well
given as was the case last evening, never
fails to please, especially theatre goers,
As Julia, Miss Coombs showed hersWon-
derful power to fine advantage, her emo
tional acting calling forth rounds of ap-
plause and in the fourth act, the parting
scene with Sir Thomas Clifford, the en-
thusiasm of the audience was uubounded;
both Miss Coombs Julia, and Mr.. Hueb-
ner, "Sir Thomas" being called before the
curtain. The character of Master Walter,
THE Hunehback' a very difficult one to
properly impersonate was magnihceptly
sustained by j. G. Hall; his acting through
out was fauItless. showing great care and
study. Miss Nellie Fielding, herself a
star, charmed the audience with her happy
style, and inimitable vivacity; she is an
actress OF real merit, and was particularly
well adapted to the character of Helen"
which she sustained last evening. Ed.
Chapman as "Fathom" was simply i'm :
mense, and called forth peals of laughter.
In fact every character was we'll sustained
and the performance one of the finest ever
given in Rock Island. To night Miss
Coombs appears as Juliet in Shakes
peare's play of Romeo and Juliet, char
acter she has sustained SO well as to merit
the title of the Juliet OF the stage. The
Chicago. Times, Tribune and Inter- Ocean
and the press Of New York and Boston,
speak of her as appearing at her very best
in juliet. From the way tickets were
selling to-day, the largest audience that
has yet attended will be present this eve
ming. a rare dramatic treat is in store
for those who attend the performance of
Romeo and Juliet, at the Opera House
this evening.

Moline Organ Factory,

The following from the Cedar Rapids
Republican, may be of interest to people in
this city and will serve to show that Lam
cashire and Turner are endeavoring to re-
coVer the money with which to pay their
men, and which caused their temporary
suspension a short time since:
IT. G Phelps, a we'll known Des
Moines citigen, was arrested Sunday in
this city upon an indictment by the grand
jury at Des Moines, charging him with en-
bezzlement. He is agent for pipe organ
company aud the specific transaction up
on which the Indictment is found, "a the
sale to the Baptist Church of that city Of
an organ valued at about $500. The com,
pany charges that be never accounted &c
them for the proceeds received from that
sale. Mr. Phelps left the city Tuesday fol
pes Meines, and as soou as he found bal
was to return here aud finish his work or
the Unlversaiist church organ. The com,
pany who has charged him with embezzle
ment is OF Moline, 10 whose service Mr.
Phelps worked, and to whom, he claims
they are indebted for the sum Of 5000, anC
| that just as soon as they settle With him
he will refund all that has ever been re
ceived by him. All the facts in the cast
would seem to point to the conclusion tha
the arrest was rather a malicious ont
| than otherwise"
The Republican probably obtains tt,
information upon which its opinion is baseC
from Phelps, the man arrested The shoy
is now 10 operation and has the confidence
of Moline people, and will continue with
out the recovery of the money embezzleG
by Phelps,
