trained and disciplined by liberal education Of
the schools to enable him TO take high rank
among his fellow men. lie was destined tn take
an active part in public affairs, and to become
conspicuous for his ability and strength. He
grasped and comprchcndcd truths in their full
scope as applied to human action. He sought
and mastered the great principles underlying all
questions connected with government, law ana
our civilization. He cared little for forms when
rights and principles were involved, looking al
most entirely 10 principles that should govern.
His intellect was massive and vigorous rather
than quick and acute, never regarding rs being
attached by nice and impulpablc distinctions. He
relied on reason and logic rather than perception
in reaching conclusions. His convictions were
deep and permanent, and he never wavercd or
halted when an opinion was once formed. His
nature was strong ardent, and impulsvc. He
had great mental energy and indomitoble Will.
His mental Investigations were direct, and his
mode of reasoning strictly logical. His power
of analysis was large. His perception Of facts
was clear and remarkably comprehensive, with
singular facility for freeing question from all
cXtrancous matter His vigorous intellect, his
indomitable will, and his Xedness Of purpose rem
dcred him successful in most of his purposes and
he therefore seldom failed in what he undertook
to accomplish. In fact, he possessed all of the
elements that must command success in high
degree" His influence upon the states history,

The magnificent stock of watches, jewel
ry, silver and plated ware. etc. displayed
at Epstein's new emporium, Bengston's
block, far exceeds anything in the three
cities. The rich and elegant design, sup
erb finnish and artistic taste in arrange
ment of stock. marks this new headquarters
as the "Jewelry Palace" of the city, A
person visiting the store is not slow to dis
cover that an experienced hand in the
business has made the selection, while an
examination OF price will conyince the most
skeptical that Epstein makes no idle boast
when guaranteeing to undersell all compe.
titors. Possessing extra facilities for OBJ
tanning goods at the very lowest cash prices
and buying in immense quantities, he is
enabled to offer extra inducements to the
citizens OF Rock Island and vicinity and is
now prepared to duplicate Chicago prices
on all standard goods. No snide iewelry
in stock; nothing but first class goods,
which are offered at lower prices than com
pettors sell inferior grade.
Epstein means business and will not b.
undersold by anyone. If you need any

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends the judicious choice
OF d remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for Con-
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretcnsions of any other medicine See
Dr. Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
Of many persons OF the highest respectabilty, who
have been restored to health, after being pro
nounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged
ability Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but the
cure is often promoted by the employment OF two
other remedies which DR.. schenck provides for the
purpose These additional remedies are Schenck' 8
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according to direc
tions. Dr. schenck eertiies that most any case Of
Consumption can be cured.
