The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assinilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
uot blackcn the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively net injurious.

Last Year IS Railroad Earnings.


Henry " Poor, the compiler of Poors "Rail-
road Manual" says, sit is too early yet to give
decisive answer to inquiries in regard to rail-
road earnings last year, as all the figures have
not yet been arranged and compared. The
probability is that they will show very large
increase on the entire railroad system of the
country L am unable to state the exact per-
centage at present The railroads in the mid
die division. including the States Of New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, ETC., show an increase
of $50, 100000. The New Eng land States have
gained about $4,000,000, and the Southern
States also show considerable increase. The
figures for the Western States are not yet in
condition to allow me TO arrive at any conclu-
sion There is one thing to be considered, how
eyer-I do not know how the rates per ton
companies may have hauled great deal more
freight and received much larger gross earnings
but whether they have made as much money
or not remains 10 be seen."
Notes.
The Railway Age, giving the summary Of
railroad building for the first six months of
1882, says the totals are astonishing. Track has
been laid on at least 179 lines in 81 States and
Territories, adding mileage of main track
aggregating 5000 miles, This includes only the
main track, and does not include sidings and
second, third and fourth tracks, of which hun
dreds Of miles have been laid. The aggregate
reported for the same period last year was only
a little over 1000 miles, and during the same
period of no previous year has it equaled even
that amount. The total railway mileage of
the United States is now more than 107 900
miles,

A PECULIAR CASE.

Charles Fiebig the locksmith and safe
seat of Linn county, Iowa, where he will,
in the presence of the circuit court and
jury, open a safe which he has not seen,
and whose combination he had not been
given. He appears as witness for the
defense, and will attempt to prove that an
expert could have opened the safe while in
the store. and distracted its contents with
out using powder or instruments.
1t appears that last May man by the
name of J. Edwards visited the store of
John Shauser and asked permission to de-
post So, 200 in the safe until the following
morning. He stated that he was unable
to place the money in the bank as it was
after hours, and he did not feel secure
when carrying it about his person. The
necessary permission was given, and the
money was placed within the safe That
night some one entered the store, over
powered John Barnhill, the clerk, who had
a sleeping apartment in the building, and
had distracted the money from the safe
without using powder or instruments The
next morning Barnhill was found gagged
and tied to his bed.
No clue was obtained to the robber, and
great excitement was caused by the mystery
attached to the affair.
Edwards hired the notorious L. E. STRAIT
ton, who appeared in the late Heilwagon
trial in this city, as the confessor. STRAIT
ton soon played the confession dodge On
Barnhill, and the latter was placed under
arrest, as Stratton claimed that Barnhiil
had confessed that he (BarnhilD was the
real rebber and had tied himself to pre-
vent suspicion.
1t is certainly most remarkable per-
Torrance that Stratton, within the space
of six months, should have been made the
confessor of murderer and a robber,
when to everybody else both men protest
ed their innocence. 1t will be remember
ed that there are several affidavits on file
in the Rock Island Circuit Clerks office,
wherein the affidavit states that they know
ing Stratton and his general reputation for
truth and vera city, would not believe him
under oath. A letter writer goes so far as
to say that he would not hang a dog on
the evidence of the alleged detective and
confessor, L. E. Stratton.
