We extract from liz. Railways stTreatise on Dis

LIST OF DISEASES CURED BIZ
RAILWAYS
Sarsaparillaan Resolvent,

Chronic Skin Diseases, Carries of the Bone, Hu-
mors in the Blood, Scrofulous Diseases, Bad or On.

We assert that there is no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these diseases
step by STEP surely, from the foundation, and re-
stores the injured parts to their sound condition
THE WASTES OF THE BODY ARE STOPPED AND, HEAL
THY BLOOD IS SUPPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, from which
new material is formed. This IL the first correc-
tive power of RAILWAYS REsoLyENT
In cases where the system has been salivated,
and Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate
have accumulated and become deposited in the
bones, joints, ETC., causing carries OF the bones,
ricketts,, spinal curvatures, cUntortons, white swell
lings. varicose veins, ETC.. the SARsAPARILLIAN
will resolve away those deposits and exterminSte
the virus OF the disease from the system.
If those who are taking these medicines for the

sure sigh that the cure is progressing. In these
diseases the patient either gets better or worse

A new trial has been granted the de-
PENDANTS in the case of Hawthorn versus
the city of LeClaire, in which the plaintiff
sought to secure damages for injuries re-
ceived by falling down some stone steps
in the street of LeClaire.
A verdict for the plaintiff had been OBJ
tanned for $1,000 The chief witness fo1
the plaintiff was Fl. L. Bottom, who tes-
tilted that he had visited LeClaire several
years ago and had fallen on the same
steps, He drew crayon sketch of them,
as he contemplated bringing a suit against
the city of LeClaire.
The attorneys for the defendant looked
up Bottoms record, and ascertained that
he had figured in such cases as an expert
witness on other occasions. They traced
him during the year that he is said to have
visited LeClaire and made the crsyon
sketch, and found that he had impersonat-
ed j. G. Graham in swearing to an affidavit
before Robert Quigley.
The necessary affidavits proving the
abeve-noted facts were filed in the court in
Jackson county, and new trial imme-
diately granted
Bottom was found at work in Lothar
Harms saloon in this city yesterday. He
was arrested and placed in jail.

TEACHERS TROUBLES.

This afternoon the assault case against
Andrew McCaw and Catherine McCaw was
on trial before Justice Cooke, change oil
venue having been granted from Justice
Chopper.
1t is claimed that Charles Owens, who is
prosecuting witness, is engaged in teach
ing district school at the Centennial
school house a short distance northeast of
Reynolds. It is also stated that while in
the discharge of his duties he had occas-
ion to reprimand Andrew McCaw, one Of
his pupils. The latter did not take the
correction in a kindly spirit but rebelled
against such authority. It therefore became
necessary in order to maintain order and
discipline in the school room to suspend the
scholar This had the effect of
arousing the ire of the entire McCaw fam
ily. The suspended pupil and his mother
visited the school. and Owens claims that
.he boy aided and Allotted by his maternal
assaulted him, although no blows
were inflicted.
The case came up for trial last Saturday,
put change of venue and a continuance
vas taken to this morning. A number
If witnesses for the prosecution were placed
IN the stand and the details of the little
were described.

within week On the strength of this
latter statement he tarried for two weeks
longer without paying his board. The
landlord thought that he detected large
sized rodent, as he considered it very
strange that Morcombe had never display
ed any note or due bill, and insinuated az
much to his ledger.
This was during the present week, and
that same night Morcombe took his de
parture. The Port Byron landlord follow
ed him and visited the counting room of
THE ARGUS, where he learned that Nor
combe had been paid in full for all services
the day on which he was discharged.
He then made search for his ledger both
in Davenport and Rock Island, but failed
to find him. He learned, however, that
Morcombe had made arrangements to work
for the Saturday Affernoon People, in the
of solicitor for advertisements.
He made preparations to enter suit against
him for the amount of his bill, and will
prosecute the fair and festive typograph-
ical sewing machine agent unless settle

NOT FOR JOE.

Some time. last summer, printer by the
name of Joseph E. Morcombe made his
appearance in Rock Island and secured
work in the news room of THE ARGUS.
He continued at the case until last fall,
when he was replaced by new member of
the craft. He then engaged in some sew
ing machine business and travelled about
the country. just before leaving THE AR
GUS Office he was discovered one Sunday
in printing himself some cards which rep
resented him as being connected with the
paper. He was instructed to destroy the
cards and gave his word that such had
been done.
A few weeks ago he turned up at Port
Byron, as the representative of some sew
ing machine agency. He secured himself
a boarding place and took unto himself q
wife. AT the end of month his landlord
had not been gladdened by the sight of
any money, SO he accosted Morcombe and
asked him the occasion for such unseem1y
delay. He informed his host that he had
a note made by the proprietors of Tue
ARGUS for $50, and that said note would
be due in a day or two, and that when he
collected the same, he would make good
his board bill.
Morcombe came down to Rock Island
and represented that he had secured due
bill tram THE ARGUS which would be paid

FUN ON TIE BRISTOL.

Jarret s. Rics's musical combination will
present the highly delightful little
sketch of Fun on the Bristol, or night
on the Sound at Harper's theatre next
Tuesday evening The title of the mu-
steal extravaganza fully explanes what
rich opportunitiesean be presented by
troupe of talented artists. The plot is sub
stantially the experience Of some passen
gers on the Bristol during trip down the
sound. The passengers make numerous
mistakes, and the situations are most com
ical.
1t is of the same class of entertainments
as was furnished by Saulsbury's Trouba-
doris, and like that performance it gives
the different members of the troupe an OPP
portunity to appear in their respective
specialities-
The company engaged in its production
is an exceptionally fine one, as it includes
several voealists and character actors that
would be credit to any musical organiza
ton. The fun is incessant from the be-
ginning of the first act to the end of the
third, and is at all times within the bounds
ofdecency
The piece is in three acts and there is
straight story, although it is slight and
unimportant. One cares very little about
plot when shaking his sides with laugh
ter over the pranks and oddities of the ten
or dozen representing passengers. The
piece fairly bristles with comical situations
and business and in its musical part draws.
upon the whole range of music, from
Lucia" to Harrigan and Harris latest song.
1t is as impossible to describe the perfor-
nance as it is to draw a diagram of a
joke" and a good idea OF it can only be
had from witnessing,
Those who are in need of laughter as a
medicine, are professionally informed that
the mimic Bristol will be anchored in Rock
Island Tuesday night with a cargo of fun,
frolic and enjoyment.

FOUR OF AUNn.

-Four little urchins were brought into the
police armory this morning charged with
throwing stones at the c., B. 6 @. trains
between the city limits and Brooks cross
ing. They confessed that they had been
in the habit of amusing themselves in that
manner during the summer Their names
are Herman Limberg, ten years. Alferd
Limberg, eleven years, Comstock Swanson,
ten years and Albert Nelson, eight years.
They stated that Victor Saline was the
fifth member of the bembarding party.
1t appears that for the past month the
trains on the c., B. & O. which pass the
city limits after night fall have been treated
to innumerable missiles. The trainmen
were on the alert but failed to ascertain
who was engaged in the dangerous bust
ness. 1t is stated that the same thing
occurred every night, and the engineers
were induced to run faster than usual in
order to escape personal injury.
The boys under arrest claim that they
did it for fun, and that they were not in
duced to throw the stones. by any grown
person. They were badly frightened this
morning as they were locked up in the
tramp room.
The c. B. 6 Q. agent was informed of
their arrest, and it is thought that charge
of malicious mischief viii be preferred
against them.
This afternoon the five boys, Victor Sal
inc having been arrested, appeared before
Justice Chopper. They all pleaded guilty
and three of Them Herman and Albert Linn
burg and Comsteck Swanson were fined $25
B piece.
Albert Nilsson and Victor Saline were dis
charged on account of their age.
The above noted trio were committed
until the payment of the fine assessed
against them.

RAILROADS.

The Aledo Democrat has the following
In the absence of any public announce
ment, we learn by degrees something of the
object and purposes of the Rock Island
and Southwestern railroad. That part
between Rock Island and New Boston is
chartered under Illinois authority. A char
ter for a bridge across the Mississippi at
New Boston is pending in Congress, with
good prospects of success 1t this is
secured, then by authority of Iowa the
Southwestern will be continued through
Mount Pleasant, and on to its terminus at
Kansas City; thus tapping highly inter-
esting country with which Rock Island
and Mercer counties have heretofore had
only very indirect connection. Individ-
uals in New Boston and along the whole
line, we are told, are disposed to give lib
eral assistance ond encouragement, and if
it can be accomplished without the too
frequent impositions on the trusting peo-
pie, it will doubtless be of great advan-
.tage to New Boston and the region trav
eled by it through the county.
With the prospect of two bridges on
our Mississippi coast and the three or
four through lines projected through our
country, the wealth Of old Mercer would
very soon be doubled and trebled, and all
our citizens north and south be accommo-
dated, and our partly dormant resources
rapidly and fully developed. Should both
proposed bridges be built. lively compe-
tition may spring up between Keithsburg
and New Boston for the crossing point of
the /. /. & |. road which, owing to its
great length is of more than usual impor-
lance. We trust when the strife comes
that it may be business one only; and
that the persimmon may be cheerfully
awarded to the longest pole.
