RE OF GOOD CHEER.

There is one remedy which has proved
itself to be priceless boon and true
friend to suffering humanity. 1t has
saved thousands of nervous, debiiitated,
headaching mortals to lives of usefulness
and the full enjoyment of robust health.
If you are weak, nervous and debilitated,
or suffer from Indigestion and dyspepsia,
you make serious mistake and do your
self great injustice If you fail to try this
excellent medicine. You will find it a
perfect panacea for all your troubles. In
few weeks time your shattered nervous
system will be restored to natural and
healthful condition, all symptoms of dys-
pepsia and indigestion disappear, and the
possibility of paralysis, apoplexy, and
other disorders that lead to sudden death,
will be removed forever. This meritor-
ious compound is preparation of Iron
and essential vegetable tonics. 1t is the
only preparation of Iron that does not
give headache or blacken the teeth. 1t is
called Browns Iron Bitters. Demand it
of your druggist, and take no substitute.
1t will give the greatest satisfaction, for
its effects are lasting, and not temporary,
as is the case with alcoholic preparations.
Browns Iron Bitters contain no alcohol.

MurILArINa SILVER.

The practice of refusing silver coin that
has hole punched in it. which has now
become general among banks, street rail
road companies and heavy business houses,
is rapidly spreading to small dealers in ev-
cry branch of trade. This ostracism
of the perforated coin appears to have
had It's origin in false rumor that the
government had declared heavy discount
on mutilated silver. As matter of fact
there is no more cause for refusing such
coin now than there always has been. but
the scare has assumed such proportions
that nothing viii probably stop it. The
quarter with hole in it is doomed It is
very inconvenient when one doesn't hap
pen TO have any kind OF quarter to have
it refused, but it looks as though all such
money viii soon be driven out of circula-
ton and back to the mint There win be

THE PEST HOUSE

The council last evening on the sugges
ton of the local Board of Health decided
to rent the building known as the Quincy
Mcneil property in South Rock Island for
a pest house.
The denizens of South Rock Island are
up IN arms against such amovement, and
are preparing to resist any such occupa-
ton within their limits. The supervisor
OF that township stated this morning that
he would protest against any pest house
within that township but as yet had de-
cided on no settled of contract

have taken per centage of all the silver
that passed through their hands will soon
be at an end. They can still punch the
coin, but they can no longer dispense
them at par, SO it would be losing game.
1t is said that fruit dealers in New York,
small coin, realize on the drilling about 8
per cent, of the value of the pieces punch
ed. The mutilation of coin is an offense
against the law, but one so hard to detect
that it is rarely punished. 1t will be
quickly stopped if the refusal to take the
punctured pieces becomes general, as it
seems likely to do.
