FIRST SNOW.

This morning the first snow of the pres
ent season made its appearance in this To-
cality. It was not, however, a complete
success as snow storm, for the atmos-
phere was not sufficiently cold to permit
long continuance of the falling flakes.
1t changed to rain, and as a result the
streets and sidewalks do not present the
most inviting appearance. The snow COM
menced falling about one O'Clock this
morning, and the wintery appearance OF
the earth was generally admitted during
the morning.

275 miles to Menominee. Sheriff Wilkin-
son, of Woodford county, ILL.,, heard of
the judges action next marning. and took
the first train following the party. At
Menominee the authorities utterly failed to
identify the prisoner as Lon Williams. but
they would not release him though Miller,
the man for whom Kuhl was working al
the time of the murder, was produced and
proved an alibi.
Kuhl was finally released and is now in
Peoria with his relatives to which place he
sharted after leaving Rock Island last
Tuesday. The case is certainly very inter
esting, as it is said to be seldom equalled in
sensational features in the annals of juris
prudence.

A Grateful Patient.

Mrs. DIR. KECK-Kind friend: can
truly say my wife is enjoying better health
than for ten years. Having suffered with
Kidney disease nearly twenty years, being
pronounced diabetes, growing worse all
the time, her general health being affected,
and having the worst female trouble, at
times suffering pain which was worse than
death; and for ten years she has been doc
toring with the best of physicians, without
any relief, her case being given up as in
curable they having tried, as they said
every medicine they knew of. We COM
menced the use of Mrs. DR.. Keck's medi-
cine in June, and for seven weeks used it
without seeing any relief; but l did not ex-
pect any change IN so short treatment,
for knew the disease was a chronic
trouble, and she had doctored for ten years
with other physicians without relief, and to
be just, must give Mrs. DR. Keck a fair
trial But during the eighth week the inn
provement was wonderful My friends
said it would not last and the trouble
would return; but | am happyto state that
the improvement continues, and she feels
comparatively well, although [ expect to
take time to get permanent cure, for a
disease of twenty years standing can not
be cured in month or two I expect
even there win be days when she will feel
badly, but so far she has not experienced
any return of the disease Some of nv
friends say, ''Oh, Mrs DR.. Keck is so ex-
pensive I cannot afford to doctor with
her." But have not found it so, our
treatment not costing $3.50 week / can
say that feel thankful to Almighty God
for making Mrs. DR.. Keck the instrument
in the hands of the Lord, for do not be-
lieve my wife could have stood this misery
long, for she was rapidly growing worse. |
most heartily recommend Mrs DR. Keck
to the afflicted, and will answer all letters |
of inquiry.

The Great Medical Success of the Age.

Leading druggists who have been in the
business for half lifetime, state that they
have never known medicine to enlist the
entire and universal confidence of the pub
lie, as rapidly as Hale's Honey of Hore-
hound and Tar. Although it has only
been few years in use, it has already
taken precedence of all other mhdicines
advertised as remedies for Conghs, Colds,
and incipient Consumption, and its annual
sales are without a parallel in the history
of this class of preparations.

A BRAVE Officer.

An exchange in noting the War Eagle
accident says:
Talk about bravery and self sacrifice
there was Tom Corners, first mate of the
War Eagle, whe, when he felt the steamer
crash against the side of the pier at the
Keokuk bridge, Immediately descended
into the hold to stop leak that he kne W
must have been made. He found the hole,
through which the water was pouring fast,
and went to work to stop it up with can
vas and blankets-and there he was when
the iron span of the bridge fell and tore
off wheel-house; but he never left his
post until all danger from the leak was
passed and the passengers who remained
on the steamer were safe. Tom Corners
saved score of lives that night. for the
steamer would have sunk in mid-stream if
he had not been willing to peril his own
life to save others.

A LETTER.

The following letter has been written by
Captain Girdon, one OF the local steamboat
inspectors to his chief at st. Paul, and full
ly explains itself:
Rock ISLAND, ILL, Nov. 4. s.
We have been here since last Monday,
the 31st ult., investigating the causes which
led to the loss of the steamer Jennie Gill
christ, the night of the 27th of Octob 3r,
and wherein six passengers were drowned.
We have taken about 100 pages of testi-
mony and examined over twenty witnesses,
/ find the newspaper reports are malicious
misrepresentation. Not one of the Off
GERS or crew were drunk, and none of the
officers drinking men. We also find upon
evidence that the boat was duly fitted out
with all the requirements of the law, and
this in the most minute particulars. The
boat was fully repaired and locked this
spring. We inspected her the day she was
launched at LIE Claire, Iowa, April 10, and
found her one of the best, safest and best
differed boats of her size on the river. The
coroner of this county is now holding an
inquest, and the testimony as published in
the papers of this place agrees with that
taken before US, and fully substantiates all
the facts as | have herein set forth. The
newspapers here wanted just such a sensa-
ton to fill up their local columns, and
when the coroner publishes his verdict 1t
will give them another sensation. Will
personally appear before the coroner's jury
to morrow, and insist, on my part, that
they fully investigate my official acts in
the inspection of this boat We shall be
here several days, as we shall push every
thing to the bottom facts, and then return
to report. In this case there will be no
withdrawing. and we will show for our
selves Gle an hands.
Very Respectfully,
GEO. w. GIRDoN,
q. S. Local Inspector.
