SHIRT FACTORY.

Mr.. Geo. r. Marvin of the Davenport
Shirt Factory, 225 Perry Street, Daven-
port, desires to call attention to his cele-
brated Anchor shirts. Mr. Marvin claims
that these shirts are far superior to any
others sold in this vicinity at the same or
higher price. They are made of the best
muslin and linen and the best workman
ship is used upon them, and while cheap
shirt are fully equal to other higher priced
kinds Mr.. Marvin has had large and
long experience in his business, and his
large and increasing trade is not only evil
dence of the worth of the Anchor shirt,
but also of the other kinds that he manu-
features, either for the trade or to order.
Any one in need of his articles would do
well to give him a call

A SCENE SPOILED.

There are numbered among the citizens
of Rock Island a man and wife whose do
mestic happiness has not been a character
istic feature of their married life. In fact
the husband is insanely jealous of his pre-,
ty wife, and is ever on the alert to catch
his life's companion doing that which will
give him an opportunity to play the role
of Othello. The man is engaged in man
ual employment and leaves his home at an
early hour in the morning, to return in the
evening when his days work is completed.
Yesterday noon, however, he deviated
his domicile for his midday repast.
The house was deserted and his
better half was not to be found in the
neighborhood. Visions of clandestine
meeting which had been arranged during
his habitual absence flashed through his
mind, and he Immediately started to ascer-
tain his wife whereabouts. The neighbors
were questioned and soon the Infatuated
man ascertained that his wife had left
home with another man some time after
the husbands departure in the morning.
With this information he started out, and
soon met the cause of his woe, returning
to her home unaccompanied by male
companion. A few hot and angry words
were exchanged and the twain returned TO
their home. Just what occurred after
reaching the house is not known, but it is
probable that the talk will lead to a separ-
alton if not divorce.

RAGGAGE THIEF.

This morning a passenger on the c., R
I. s. P. depot, whose name was W. H
Clear, from Mt. Pulaski, Ills, lost his valise
and it was thought that some one had
stolen that article.
Clear notified the police, and search
was instituted for the stolen valise. The
police visited the various second hand
stores and in one of them found man
who was in the act of selling the valise.
He was at once arrested and gave his name
as VIM. Hanson. He pretended that he
had just purchased the travelling bag from
man, but the story was incredible. Han
son now has apartments in the army, and
will soon have an examination for larceny.

IMPOSING ON THE COURT.

Jas, Mcguire is in trouble again. and it
would appear that this individual is not
happy unless he is in some kind of difficult
ty. A few days ago he was arrested for
being drunk. He appeared before Justice
Chopper, and was fined small amount
He pretended to pay the fine by an order
on the city, which he gave to the Justice.
1t subsequently appeared that Mcguire had
no money coming to him from the city,
and that the order was worthless. He was
accordingly arrested again, and now stands
committed to the city bastile until the fine
is made good by Imprisonment.
1t will pay you to borrow money to buy
a suit of clothes, or any other seasonable
goods of Mitchell q Parsons ,aoae. 62tf

Many persons complain of not feeling
well; and, though not absolutely sick or in
pain, are perpetually in state of discom
fort caused by the digestive organs not
properly performing their work. To cor
rect the disordered condition of the
stomach and restore health, take a half
tablespoonful of Simmons Liver Regulator
after each meal. Try this purely vegetable
cathartic, tonic and alternative and it will
convince you that no one can take it and

THE REGULATOR

is provided with piston, placed within an
upright cylinder, and having a rod extend
ing upward which is connected to cross
bar, having heavy weights, which by
means of suitable contrivanees bear down
upon the piston with force that increases
as the piston rises. A small pipe connects
the water mains with the cylinder below
the piston, and any change in the water
pressure (which would be increased or di-
minished by opening or closing service
cocks) at once communicates motion to
the piston, and the force below the piston
is always met by an equal resisting force
from the increasing weight BY means OF
simple appliances, the changes in the posi-
ton of the piston are utilized to operate
on the steam valves of the engine, and
change the point at which steam is cut OIL
in the cylinders Of the engine, thereby in-
creasing or decreasing the power of the en-
gines, the speed of the pumps, and the
quantity of water supplied. Thus it win
be seen that if the piston moves either
higher or lower in the cylinder than the
point at which it may have been set to
maintain the desired pressure, it win auto
matically bring the speed of the engine to
the rate required to supply the demands
for water, and permit the pressure to vary
only within the limits needed-two or
three pounds-to reverse the action of the
cutoff moving mechanism of the regulator.

\ Dallas (TeXaS) letter says: Atraglc
death has just occurred in our n,Ighbor.
lug county OF Hill, worth relating aud
worthy Of NrglnIus or any other Ro-
man father. One year ago George Ar
mold came 10 Dallas, on private busi.
ness, and while walking the streets was
bitten by WORTHLESS cur which Was
froIhng at the mouth aud showing 9th
er symptoms ot hydropbobla Mr.. Ar
mold became alarmed aud very much
excited when convinced in bis own
mind the dog was mad. He went TO q
physician aud had the wound severely
cauterized. Then, going home, he was
still very uneasy aud dreaded by dropho
bla so much that he hunted up a mad
stone and had it applied Tor several
weeks, oh and on. He took every other
precautlon which was suggested, rest.
ing all the time under a mortal dread
that the virus had gone into his system
and would sooner or later Kill him. lie
had wife aud several small children
living on rather isolated farm, and the
thought that he might suddenly lose
bis reason and harm bis little babes,
Mortified bin. The other day he began
to experience strange feelings, and at
once concluded his time had come. Ilc
then procured a twelve foot chain aud
strong lock and went 10 the woods.
After writing his wife calm letter, in
which he told her what was about TO
happen; giving her directions as TO bis
wishes after death, and pouring out a
volume OF love tor her and the children,
he ran the chain around the tree, drew
it through the large ring at the cud,
and then wound the other end around
his ankle 40 tight that it would no, clip
the foot, locked il with the lock and
threw the key far beyond his reach.
The body was found two days after still
chained 10 the tree There was all tho
evidence necessary TO show the horrible
death from hydrophobia. The ground
was torn ny to the fall length Of tho
chain, the nails OF his fingers torn of,
aud all his front teeth out in scratching
and biting rbe tree, and every thread of
clothing off bis body. The body was
dresdiully lscerated with these-tbe on
ly weapons tho mailman could ure. lie
had judged rightly what would have
been the consequence had he remained
at home, and knowing that there vas
no human skill that could have cured
him, preferred death alone, and in that
way, TO doing harm 10 those so near
and dear TO him IS wife aud children.
