& Word to Dopbters

There is a good old English maxim that
teaches US to believe every man honest
until we know him to be villain" Amer
lean custom seems to have reversed this
law and appears to make every man a vii
lain until he has proved himself an honest
man. AS with people SO with things.
Every article placed in our markets can
lay claim to popular favor upon intrinsic
merit and value alone. Continued popu-
larity, therefore, is proof positive of intrin-
sic excellence. DR.. Pierce's Family Rene
dies are far more popular to-day than ever
before. The people have tested them and
know them to be genuine remedies for the
diseases they are recommended to cure.
The Golden Medical Discovery and Pur-
gative Pellets are the best Alternative, tonic,
and eathartic remedies that can be used
in chronic diseases of the stomach and
liver. The world wide popularity of the
Fayorite Prescription. as neyer-failing
remedy for Female Diseases, would have
alone secured to It's discoverer the fame he
has so richly won. DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, of which DR.. Pierce is also pro-
prietor, is recommended by those who
have testified its virtues as safe and
reliable remedy for catarrh in its worst
forms.

What they think OF It.

The people of Moline very naturally are
proud of their handsome new hotel, but
somehow they do not feel very cheerful
over the lack of attendance at It's opening
from this city. The Recieao speaks the
sentiment of nine tenths of the people o.
that city as follows;
Rock Island and Davenport didn't
respond to their invitations as they ought
to have done. The fact is that Moline
may as well make up her mind that in the
hotel business, and in every other bust
ness, she must rely on her own people.
She must stop cultivating outsider!
and use her vast influence in building W
her Own, individual and distinctiYe inter

Black hands and legs, and then the thieye:
went through him, taking his watch and
chain and about $50 in money. The vii
lains then made their escape. 1t was a
bold robbery and evidently done by pro-
fessionals. Had Mr.. Black called for help
there were plenty Of men outside who
would have come to his assistance, but
fearing that any attempt to do so would
bring the villains back, end not knowing
that any of his neighbors were near. be
went to the door and locked it. Shortly
after he did so, some OF his neighbors
came to the store and tried to gain admis.
sion and found the door locked, Black
heard them tryingIto get in but supposed
they we're the burglars. He finally man
aged to get knife from the show case
and opening it, succeeded in cutting the
thongs that bound him and then be re-
moved the gag from his mouth. The citi-
zens were still without the door trying to
gain admittance, and recognizing the
voices, Black opened the door and lei
them in, told his story, ADD all hands
started to find the thieves. The town and
roads leading thereto, were patrolled all
night but no clue to the thieves found.
