THE MOVE.

This morning at an early hour the ice
gorge directly opposite this city gave
away, and as q result the ice field which
spread from either shore to point above
the bridge, moved down a considerable
distance. The high water incl-
dent to the gorge which at one time
last night reached stage of II feet above
low water mark disappeared quite rapidly
after the movement of the ice. and the
fears which were entertained that the
whole city would be flooded Ihave been.
partially removed.
The breakup did not create the noise
and confusionI whieh.it was anticipated
would be the case. The huge cakes OF ice
Aoated down without any extraordinary
exhibition of friction the one with the
other. The general movement occurred
as if impeI!ed by some power whose force
was irresistible. The gorge above the
bridge broke away from its moorings first,
and dropping down against the clicked
cakes which were piled up in the river
directly opposite 18th street started the
whole mass iD motion. The movement
was continued for about one hour when
the ice gorged below the city in the neigh
borhood of Weyerbauser Il Denkman's
mill. and the river soon became choked
with floating cakes as far up as l4th street
A narrow strip of ice extending along the
Illinois shore to the K. n. T. Packet
warehouse.
1t was reported that great damage had
been done to the grinding establishment C
the Baford Plow Works. and also that the
city water works had also received injuries
from the floating ice. An inspection of
the above noted premises this morning
revealed the fact that the pillow works had
received a trifing damage, but hardly of
sufficient i'm portauce to warrant mention.
The water works have not been troubled
ia the least, and SO far. there 10 no danger
to be apprehended from that source. The
danger of an overflow still remains, and
while it may not prove as general as was
the outlook yesterday, fears are still enter

the buildings in the lower portion Of the
city.
In case the ice breaking away from
above forces itself upon the present gorge
high water will necessarily follow.
This morning the water was reported to
be running over the railroad track at Port
Byron, and was due to gorge just below
that place. The Dews from Muscatine
during the day, is to the effect that the
river. there is filled with running ice, and
it is hoped that the ice is gradually giving
away from below. (which will. If such is the
case. speedily remove all danger of an
inundation at Rock Island.

TO sing at Monaco and Monte Carlo. Patti
has grown fond of Nice, where she is
treated like a little Queen. and where she
finds society congenial to her tastes. She
will therefore probably remain till the end
of February in this popular resort, and
March and April she will 10 al probability
spend in Paris. where she is simply coming
money The receipts average $4,000 or
81 900 a right. and Patti takes half for
her share. She has no TEN ptatiou to cross
the Atlantic for the present.

A CONSERVATORY LETTER.
GLAsFoRD. Peoria Co., |
Januarv ri 1891

/ wish to communicate through
your paper few facts in relation to
the sickness of my wife, and her re-
markable benefit received at the hands
of Mrs. DR.. Keck, thinking that L may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid which
may restore them. My wife has been
laboring under chronic affections, in
Gliding catarrh, for II years. and has
been treated for the same most OF that
time, without material benefit, until
she applied at the Office of Mrs. DIR:
Keck, in Peoria, last fall. She had not
then spoken loud word for nearly
months. having lost her voice while
under other treatment. She was thre
atened with paralysis, her entire left
side being very weak and numb, her
nervous system was completely shat
tered, her lungs in a serious condition
and her health falling rapidly. Her
hands and feet were always cold, so
that it was almost impossible to warm
them. showing poor circulation and
condition of the blood.
About October 1st, 1880, she applied
at the office of Mrs. DR.. Keck, in Pc
oria. for advice and treatment, which
she continued faithfully at home until
the middle of December. She made
several visits to Mrs. DR.. Keck's Office
in Peoria in the meantime, to obtain
necessary directions and medicines,
and improved very much. Her voice
was still gone, however, and I had
very little hope that she would ever
recover it, although Mrs. Dr.. Keck said
that her remedies were working splen
didly on her system, and that if she
would now accompany her to Daven-
port Infirmary to receive extra treat
Iuent she would recover her voice and
health. But still doubling, took my
wife to several physicians of elni-
nence for examination and opinions.
They agreed with Mrs, Keck as to
what the trouble was. Some of them
said there was very little hope, while
others said their was none, flor recov-
ery.)
So Mrs. Watson went with Mrs. Keck
and remained at her Infirmary five
weeks. She went under q vigorous,
though pleasant treatment there, and
in two weeks her voice was restored
to its original strength and tone. /
met her at Peoria on her return home,
and heard her sneak aloud for the first
time in eight months. Her health is
very much better in every way. There
was great establishment among the
Doaio0A0 az NlAs NonACi ooc'A Ing
house, where Mrs. Keck has her Office,
when Mrs. Watson talked aloud like
the the rest, for all had heard her
whisper so long, and did not believe
she could be restored. 1t has paid us
well to follow Mrs. Keck's advice, al
though we had very little faith at first.
My Wife's recovery is a truly remark
one. If any one doubts the above
they may correspond with me at Glas-
ford, Illinois.
