City Marshal Brennecke, of Evansville,
Ind, arrived this morning to take charge
of Louis Sihler, the bail jumper whom
Marshal Halves arrested yesterday, and
escort him to Evansville. Sihler had a
gold watch and over $50 in money when
he was arrested. Marshal Brennecks and
his prisoner started on the 2 o'clock Peoria
train to-day for Evansville, and were
so late in leaving the Jail that they had to
make run of it to make the tram.

OF the past, how many bogus nostrums
may be numbered! Beginning their
careers with a tremendous flourish of
taumpets. blazoned for time in the pub
lie prints and on flaming posters, soon,
but not too soon, were they relegated to
the limbo of things lost on. earth. But
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a living
and thriving remedy. In goes on, curing
and to cure. Neither underhand nor
open competition affect it. On the con-
trary, contrast with inferior rival
preparations only increases its popularity.
IL has been repeatedly initiated, but with
out successes. Counterfeits of it have been
surreptitiously introduced, but have
fallen fat. Every where it entrenches
itself in the confidence of the people: and
well it may, for it is a thoroughly reliable
invigorant of the feeble, banishes dysp-
epsia and constipation. braces the nerves,
cures rheumatic ailments and kidney
complaints, and eradicates and prevents
intermittent and remittent fevers.

Temperance.

The temperance people are thoroughly
in earnest and propose to keep up the
work already begun. A number of earnest
workers compose the leaders in the move
ment, among them is Mr.. Z. w. Spencer,
who is at all times indefatigable in the
cause of temperance. On Thursday eve
ming Of this week, Hon. Geo, E, Hubbell
will deliver an address at the mass tenn
perance meeting to be held at the Baptist
church on 18th street. Other speakers
will be engaged from time to time, it being
the intention of those having the matter
in charge to make thorough effort in
this worthy cause. Judge Hubbell is one
of the most fluent and forcible temperance
speakers on the rostrum and will undoubt-
eddy deliver a fine address. Everybody
invited and all friends of the cause are
earnestly solicited to come forward and
lend helping hand. 1t is to be hoped
however, that more courtesy will be shown
Mr., Hubbell than was extended to him
and his lady the last time he spoke IN this
city, when all the temperance people went
away andileft them standing on the street
without any conveyance-to get home al
best they could, 1t has never been told
how they reached Davenport after II
o'clock on that dark night.
We have known Mr.. HubbelIfo for years, anC
know him to be a practical temperance
worker, even at the expense of his private
business. He is not puritanical in his
ideas or radical in bis speech, and viii

Lottie as Topsy,

The st. Paul Opera House was filled
last evening by very large audience of our
best people to witness the new version of
Harriet Beeoher Stoves famous old story
OF Uncle Toms Cabin, as placed on the
stage by the charming little Lottie. and
| though that story and it's dramatic repre-
sentation are as familiar as household
words to every intelligent man and woman
in the country, it is fair to say that It's re-
production last night was as we'll received
as upon any other occasion 10 the past.
Lottie was inimitable as Topsy, that re-
markable little offspring of nature, and Of
the dark days of human slavery. and she
took high rank as an actress of merit in
the estimation of her intelligent auditors.
And it may be said that her assistants
were equal to their parts, as was cheer
fully admitted in the demonstrations of APP
plause at the comic and dramatic situations,
as we'll as in, the lugubrious effects pro-
duced by the pathetic acting of little Eva.
