Obituary.

One Of our prominent German citizens,
Mr.. Ferdinand Vogele, died this forenoon
at his residence in this city, Of consump
ton. aged fifty-four years. He was
native of Baden, and born near the city OF
Baden-Baden. Before coming to this
city he had resided in New Orleans,
Vicksburg, and st. Louis, and it was from
the latter city that he came when he took
up his residence in Rock Island in 1855.
He built the Mississippi House on the
levee and did business there for scne
years. Afterwards. in 1865, he formed a
partnership with his brother-in Law, f.
Kellerstrass, in the commission and grain
trade, and they have been in business
together as partners most of the time
since. Up to a very short time prior to
his death he was one of the large grocery
firm of Kellerstrass & Vogele. Both
married sisters of John and Leonard
Sighartner. Of bis family the widow and
seven children are still living. He was an
exemplary religious man, and member
of the Catholic church, In the relations
of private life the deceased was an
exceedingly careful and painstaking man,
attentive to business, prudent, metho6ical,
and possessed of tact, energy and unwearied
industry. In his intercourse with the
poor, the suffering, and the distressed, be
was kind. sympathising, and charitable.
Few men among our citizens, in a quiet
and transformations manner, have better
befriended the INDECENT, or have beer
better known as a conscientious anc
obliging neighbor. The manly virtues O
; a good citizen and worthy member of thu
community, he possessed in large degree
his loss will be severely regretted among
large circle of acquaintance and friends
and we sincerely sympathize with thos
who have, by his death, lost kim
husband, an indulgent parent, and trust.

Don't Believe in Advertising

The man who says he doesn't believe
in advertising" is unconscously all the
while doing just what be deprecates. He
hangs coats outside of his door, or puts
dry goods 10 his windows-thats adver-
Using. He has printed cards lying on Els
counter; that's advertising. He sendf out
drummers through the country, or puts
his name on his wagon-thats advertis-
ing. He labels his articles or his manu-.
advestising. Ii he has
lost his COW, he puts written notice in
the Postoffice, or tells his sister-law and
that's advertising, too. He has his name put
up IN gilt letters over his door, what is that
but advertising? He paints his shop green
or red; or, if a tailor, he wears the latest
style; if doctor, he has his boy call him
out Of church in haste If an auctioneer,
lie bellows to attract the attention of
passersby; ifa heavy merchant, he keeps
huge pile of boxes on his sidewalk in
front OF the store-aDd all for advertising.
A man can, do businesses without ad-
vertising, and the question is whether to
call to his aid the engine that moves the
world-the printing press, with its thous-
ands of messengers working night and
day, the steam-engine adding to its
repeating capacity untold power and
miraculous speed; or, rejecting all these

telegraphs and railroads were unknown.
But advertising costs money!" So
does everything that is worth having. If
advertising cost nothing, all the second,
third and fourth-class petty shops would
stand an equal chance with the most
responsible houses. Ii you want to prove
to the world that yours is a frst-class
establishment, ADVERT Use. -Erchanoe,

He'll a Scientific Fact.

REV. w. II. PLATT, of San
Francisco, is discussing the doe
trine of hell in his Sunday dis
courses i'll rather peculiar manner.
He argues the existence of hell, not
from "a scriptural standpoint, but from
propositions of science-the laws OF
evolution, conservation and cOrrela-
ZION of forces; the laws of growth, af-
finity, association and propagation; in
fact, taking the weapons of the skep-
tic and turning them against him.
The method is probably more effective
chan the reiteration of the scriptural
declarations. Here is the way DIR.
Platt applies the laws Of affinity and
association:
"DO you not see in all nature the
law of like to like? DO not all things
assort themselves? What is the law
Of chemical affinity but the law of
cOngenial wedlock? Now this law of
attraction and repulsion runs all
through the universe. So with people.
They 20 together very much by con-
geniality. The vicious naturally run
with each other, and the good just as
naturally fPateiniZe. Just follow this
law of like to like ont to its eternal
consequences, and ] think yOH will
that a soul enters the invisible world
Every second. If one i'll every ten, or
| thousand, or a million, be bad, after
1 while you would have somewhere in
Che world a multitude Of devils. They
would, acting upon your law of nature
If like to like, naturally make p local

preliminary hells-its slums, its bar
rooms, where buraI GQFcaScs lie in

Thieves be:d together for criiae and
safety. Human nature must have
sympathy and companioEship, though
that companionship make hell apa.-tt
in its own solitary locality. If one
evil spirit bears a mental hell within,
two evil spirits make local hell with

you think such "A set of tiends don't
make a local hell, | am sure they don't
make a heaven anywhere"
