Who is MRS. Wiuslow2

AS this QUESTION is frequently asked,
we will simply say that she is q lady
who for upwards tof thirty years has
untiring devoted her time and talents
as a female Physician and nurse,
principally among children. She has
especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as
result of this effort. and practical
knowledge, of obtained in lifetime
spent as nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup, for
children teething. 1t operates like
magic-giving rest and health, and is
moreover, sure to regulate to bowels.
In consequence of this article. Mrs.
Winslow is becoming world-renown-
ed as a benefactor of her race; children
certainly do rise up and bless her;
especially is this the case in this city.
Vast quantities Of the Soothing Syrup
are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winslow has immortaIized
her name name by this invaluable
article, and we sincerely believe thou
sands of children have been saved from
an carry grave by its timely use, and
that millions yet unborn will share its
benefits, and unite in calling her bless
ed. No mother has discharged her
duty. to her suffering little ones, in our
opinion, until she has given it the
benefit of Mrs MinsloW's Soothing
Syrup. Try it, mothers-try them

A New House.

As will have been observed by recent
advertisements. new business house has
been established in our midst, and GER
tain amount of interest attaches to a new
conner. 4 visit to this establishment was
the result. and as far as we have learned
about this new enterprise we shall make
known. The business is that of w. w. Kim
ball & Co., of Chicago. one of the largest
houses dealing In pianos and organs in
the country. The manager here. is Mr..
d. Roy Bowlby. assisted by Mr..
Samuel T. Bowlby. and the firm
have established this branch house
in Rock Island, for the purpose of enter
ing into fair and square competition, in
the musical instrument line, and they offer
as inducements the best goods at low
prices. Among the pianos on hand are
those of Hallett Davis & Co. w. P. Emer-
son. w. W. Kimball, j. 2. Hall,
Kranack & Bach, and organs by
Smith (American) B. Schoniger and
w. w. Kimball; these names speak for
themselves. and the other departments of
the musical Instruments business will be
properly represented. There is large
and fine assortment of sheet music to
choose from. and it is the intention to
devote special attention to this branch
which it is claimed has not been
fully represented heretofore in this
city. The stock of this house is being
added to daily and a visit is the only sat
isfactory way to gain further information
of practical nature, such as musicians
and others would desire. The store is
situated at No. 1922 Second Avenue, one
door below the Harper House entrance.

The Raabe Case.

The result 10 the Babe case is gener-
ally satisfactory to the people, and is re
garded as wholesome lesson to that class
Of offenders who, having been fortunate
enough to escape punishment for misde
meanors. regard justice farce and iega!
tribunals nuisance. The evidence
against Babe was SO conclusive as to
admit no doubt in the minds of the jurors,
who were. it is said, unanimous for con
viction on the first ballot. The case was
ably conducted on both sides, and but for
the earnest manner in which NJ. NJ. Cor
bctt, Esq. and Capt. Parks worked for
defendants acquittal, the prisoner would
no doubt have received the extreme pen
atty of the law. The prosecution by
States Attorney Parmenter, and Sweeney,
Jackson & Walker, was vigorously and
ably conducted and nothing was omitted
which would insure q conviction. Seldom
has case been more persistently prose-
cuted or more ably defended than the
Babe case, just closed.
