largest celestial body that presented
itself to their nightly view, and that
in the clear, exquisite ether Of Ara

India and E9yps, it shone among the
heavenly host with a Iuster unknown
to dwellers in the crowded cities OF q
northern cline.
But the children of these 'ropic
lands did something more than gaze,
speculate, and admire: with supreme
patience they reared lofty towers and
grand pyrsmids. and invented instru-

CONFIDENCED,

John Linwood, is the name of farmer
living near Bishops Hill, over in Henry
county, who is the latest victim of the
confidence man. He went to the village
to buy some goods, and while there re
ceived a dispatch to come to Peoria on the
first train. The train was due in half an
hour, and leaving word for his fam
lily, he started for the city He
had with him about $500 in money,
besides a gold watch, and was very care
full man, But these sharpers somehow
manage to gull the smartest and SO they
did him. Arriving in Peoria he found the
party he was looking for had gone away
from the city and would not return for "a
hours. There was nothing to do but wait
and so he did for two days and then start
ed for the depot in Peoria, There he met
two strangers one Of whom had bill to
pay-but why recite the details it was
the old story, and he was feeced
out of $3.50 in money and now holds a
worthless U. S. bond as security. He
prided himself on being too smart to be
caught and so kept his loss to himself but
it leaked out, and the facts are as given
above.

THE PEORIA ExcuRsIoNIsTs.

The Veteran Light Guards are being
pretty severely censured for not living up
to the advertisements they made before the
excursion, and along the line of the Rock
Island & Peoria road the papers are giving
them fits. The latest to add to the list is
the Princeville Independent, as follows:
Mad Well. guess they were. There
were fifty persons on the platform of the
depot at Princeville. intending to take in
the excursion. ten of whom had tickets in
their pockets. all that had been sent out to
be sold by the Vets Quite a number ha i
come in eight and ten miles with teams.
which had been sent back with orders to
return to take them home the next night.
At last near midnight the train approaches.
There is the usual stir and hustle among
the expectant 'excursionists' The train
comes laundering along, and with a
rapidly increasing speed as it nears the
depot, goes screaming by at the rate of
twenty miles an hour. Yexed and disap
pointed they turn away, and with many
curses against the authors of their present
woes, they return to their homes. We re-
ceived a complimentary ticket for which
by request we gave notice of the Grand
Excursion and thus were made an unwill-
ing agent in deceiving our readers We
ask their pardon and hope for forgiveness.
In closing this notice of the sad affair the
force of habit compels to return to the
Vets our heartfelt thanks for the COM
pfimentary ticket they were so kind to
send US. The Vets can cut out the above
thank you and keep it as a receipt in full
Tor all favors received.

SANITARY MATTERS.

8 The tri-city association, sanitary board
composed of physicians and others of the
three cities. met in Davenport yesterday
afternoon, and discussed health matters
generally, and listened to an excellent dis
course from DIR. Truesdale, of this city, in
regard to pure water as prerequisite to
health. He gave very clear description
of the result of his Investigations while
east, this summer, and made some excellent
suggestions. There was general discus
sion INDUCED in by Drs. Craig, Eyster,
Grant and others, and the meeting proved
a very profitable one to all who were pres
ent. The society will meet in Rock Island
on Monday Sept. Goth, at which some
papers will be read of interest to all inter-
ested in the health of the three cities. The
society is proving a beneficial one and aug
menting in membership with each success
sive meeting.
