A COMPLIMENT.

The Bloomington Eye pays Mrs. keck,
who returned from that city to Davenport
Yesterday, the following compliment;
The news is heralded broadcast when
the announcement that the peoples friend,
Mrs. DR.. Keck, the world renowned physi-
clan, is to arrive in Bloomington, and hun
dreds of anxious patients look forward with
fond hopes to see the one who has taken
some one of their family or friend from the
expected death bed and restored them to
vigorous life; some who have been given
up by our best physicians as incurable
have been placed under the care of this
lady, who has saved them from an early
grave Mrs. DR.. Keck is known near and
far, and from the Pacific to the At
Iantic as one who, when seeing q
patient, can tell them whether or
not they can be cured. The testimoni-
ais that are received by her from her pa
tients speak volumes of praise for the kind
attention and splendid care; not only from
our own city have these testimonials been
received, but from the far West and East.
Right here In the city of Bloomington, Mrs.
Keck has taken some of the ladies whose
health was failing them, and the hour was
looked for at any time when their pains

LOCAL STRIKE.
An inmate of the Jail
wanted for Murder.
Attempted robbery and ar
rest last night.
Another fatal Sunstroke and
other News.
A snspEcrEp MURDER.

Not long since, the arrest Of negro by
the name of George Green was effected fol
the robbery of Mr.. Thomas residence in
this city, Green was caught in Monmouth,
and by the Monmouth authorities was
turned over to the sheriff of this county,
and is safely confined in jail.
He is an athletic man, about 5 feet, II
inches, repulsive visage, and is apparently
"a years of age.
1t is thought that he is the individual
wanted by the authorities in Cairo for a
murder which was committed in that city
short time ago.
Green denies that he ever killed a
man in Cairo, although he confesses that
he had several fights and difficulties
while in that place. He can give no &C
count of any of them, and pretends to have
forgotten his different antagonists. He
claims that he is only IS years of age, and
also that he has not been in Cairo for
seven wears, at which time he was a
roustabout on the Anchor line of steam
boats From this statement it will be
seen that at that time he was only IL
years old, which brands it las false on the
face of it. He states that he was born in
Quincy Illinois, but gives so many differ
ent accounts of himself that it is believed
he is the man wanted for the homicide at
Cairo. Future development may prove
that he is a criminal of the first class.

To Whom at may ConcerH:-This is to
certify, that my wife, Eliza Rice, has been
afflicted with a troublesome cough for
more than seven years. / have expended
large amount of money with the best ply
scians in the county, and for the many
remedies advertised to cure all diseases of
the lungs, with but little satisfaction or
relief, and she was daily becoming more
discouraged, and her cough growing worse.
1t had become apparent to me that some
thing must be done for her immediate re-
lief, or it would soon be too late. About
this time, January Is, 1879, DIR Whites
Pulmonaria was highly recommended to
me, and | at once purchased of our drug
gist, Mr.. j. s. Powell. six bottles for five
doll airs, which was guaranteed to cure her
cough or money would be refunded. | am
pleased to inform my friends and the pub
lie generally that she was greatly relieved
by the first few doses, and continued to
grow better until she was entirely cured by
the use of this valuable medicine, 1t has
performed all that is claimed for it, and
can cheerfully recommend it to all who are
afflicted with consumption, coughs, etc,
NY wife and myself can be consulted at
any time in regard to the above wonderful
cure. LEWIS RICE.

WHARFAGE.
The boats of the St. Louis and ST. Paul
packet company are not stopping at Quincy
now for either freight or passengers. Tn
der the city ordinances the fee for wharfage
is g. a landing. Commodore Davidson
had contract with the city under which
the old Keokuk Northern line company
paid 800 per year, and this they are will
ing to continue. Davidson has given
orders for none of his boats to stop there
until the matter is either settled one way
or the other. The Gem City on her last
trip enroute for st. Paul, gave Quincy the
go-by. It Is asserted that the demands
made by the Quincy authorities are I'M
reasonable, as the wharfage at Burlington,
Keokuk, Hannabal and Alton is $50, Rock
Island and Davenport 500, and wharfage
is free at Louisiana, GAINESVILLE and Cairo
st. Louis charges the company $500 per
year for 400 feet of the levee.

would leave them and their once pleasant
home on earth would be no. more, but by
using her advice as their guide are now
enjoying the best of health. At her home,
in Davenport, Mrs. DR.. Keck has under
her care patients who have come thousands
| of miles. and others who are from our vi
| cinity, partaking of her wonderful RENE
dies. During her stay among us
the past week, her parlors have
| been crowded; some of whom
are her old patients, and others are new
| ones. 1t is impossible for Mrs. Keck to re-
main in any one place any great length OF
| time, as she has Offices established at other
places that call for her own personal atten-
ton, thus she is compelled to have assist
ants, and by trusting the duties dnring her
absence in their care is enabled to make
| frequent visits TO each city during the year
| In this city her Office is located on the
corner of Grove and Centre streets, where
| she has elegantly fitted rooms, and these
| during her leave are under the able super
vision of that estimable lady, and by the
way one of Mrs. Keck's patients, who was
| at one time unable to do her own house
work, Mrs. Robert Fell, who is always
willing and ready to treat those who may
call with every courtesy, and administer to
them the needed remedies for their rccov-
cry.
| Mrs. DIR. Keck is now in Davenport, but
but those having occasion to cali on he1
professionally should avail themselves OF
the present opportunity, as she is liable to
be summoned to some of her branch offices
without warning.
