The New C. R.I.&P. Denos.

The Davenport people evidently watch
with jealous eye the growth of Rock
Island. The Democrat of that city has
the following 10 relation to the new q. r.
l. Il P. depot:
1t has been subject for wonder why
the G. 4, |. & 2. 20. ever erected the
passenger depot 10 Rock Island where it
did. The building was inconvenient OF
access, dangerous to approach, aud in a
poor locality. The Company itself discov-
ed its mistake some time ago, and proceed
ed toremedy it by erecting fine new depot,
near the corner of Elm street and Moline
avenue, near Wagner's brewery. This
depot has been completed, and was put
into use yesterday, the work of demolishine
the old one being at once begun. Al
trains of the G, Il. l. Il P, @. b. Il z.
and W estern Union railroads will stop there
The new building is a really fine one anc
located very advaDtageously. though a.
considerable distance from the business
part of Rock Island. The passenger
building is 40xS0 feet, the baggage room!
being 28x40. The passenger rooms arr
each 34x40 feet, lighted by seven windows
and by two doors each. Separating then
is the ticket Office aud lunch cnunler Thu
rooms are pannelei 10 ash, with black wal
nut trimmings, except the ticket office
which is panneled in curled maple ant
black walnut. The hp,rs are of hart
wood, oil finished and the whnIe place
heated by steam. All the work Of con
struct!ng the new depot has been done b
Mr.. James Smouse, master carpenter c
the Chicago & Rock Island road, under til
supervision OF Messrs B. B, Braytou, eng
ueer, and A. kimbaIl, General Superb
tendent, who have had special eye a
the time to the convenience of the con
pany and its patrons.

Very Much Troubled.

The NATIONAL Labor Greenback organs
of this congressional district, and especial
~ the Rock Islander, are greatly troubled
about Mr.. Dunham's candidature. They
are very anxious that he should decline,
and were greatly IN hopes he would, but as
time passes and bis letter of declination
does not appear they are getting uneasy,
almost desperate, and last weeks Rock
Islander contains a labored article, in
which it is asserted that the democratic
sentiment is 10 favor of his declination. in
fact that democrats 10 all parts OF the
district want him to withdraw, and go in
for Haney." We have heard of ne such
sentiment in this part of the district. and
more, we know that no such sentiment ex-
lists among democrats. and further. We do
not believe it is the wish of democrats, any
where in the district that Mr.. Durham
should commit political hari-kari. 1t is
true Mr.. Durham did not desire to be a
candidate, even protested against the use
of bis name, but that he will at this late
day make the Greenback organs happy by
pursuingI the course they desire, is toe
preposterous for a moments considera-
| ton.
The Rock Islander publishes what il
| says IN an extract from letter from a de N
ocrat, suggesting that democrats get up a
letter, numerously signed, asking him tc
withdraw, and added that among those
who favor the idea are. who? the editor
says the list of names included zone of ths
delegates who nominated Durham" VIZ
recollect one of the delegates from Putnam
voted for Haney 10 the convention which
nominated Durham. 1t is quite possible
he is still for Haney. But why was no
the names given. and why was such let
ter, if from democrat, given to the publ
through the greenback organ? The Who'll
story is entirely too thiD." Mr.. Roc
Islander, and only shows the desperate
strait to which you are reduced. Ever.
man, woman and child of ordinary intelli
gence in the district knows the immens
superiority Of Mr.. Durham over his com
petitor, and that intellectually Hauey i
but mere pigmy by the side of Durham
To suggest the withdrawal of the latte
and give his support TO the former woul
be not only an insult to him but to ever

PROMPT Reform Of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily evils,
enfeebled digestion. incomplete assimila-
ton, inactivity of the liver, kidneys and
bladder, as well as of the nervous symp-
toms which these ailments are especially
prone to beget, is always accomplished BY
the use of Hostetrer's Stomach Bitters, a
medicine accredited by physicians, pro-
nounced pure by analysis, and eminently
wholesome and agreeable. Surely such a
restorative is preferable to unpalatable
and indigestible mineral drugs and unsanc-
toned nostrums, The nation at large as
suredly thinks so. judging by the unpre-
cedented demand for the article from
Maine to the Pacific, demand now sup
plemented by immense orders for it receiv-
ed from tropical America, Mexico, the
British aud Spanish Colonial possessions.
and elsewhere. Both at home aud abroad
it is recognized as a standard remedy and
preventive, the decisiveness of its effects
recommending it everywhere.

The Common Enemy.

In order TO make Roadway against the
common enemy, Disease, it is necessary to
oppose him with persistence. 1t very fire.
quently happens that remedy perfectly
adequate to the necessities of the case, if
persisted in, is condemned and thrown aside
because few doses of it do not cure a
malady. How unreasonable and unjust
would such judgement be regarding Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, one of the nost
popular and highly sanctioned medicines Of
the day, potent invigorant and an invaria-
bly, successful remedy for constipation. dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, incipient rheuma
tism and govt, inactivity and weakness OF
the kidneys and bladder. and for the mfr.
mites incident to the decline of life. Nc
fact is better established than the above,
yet in order to experience it's truth those
afflicted with obstinate forms of disease
should give this benignant curative a pa
tient trial. If they do, they may rely upon
decisive curative results.
