A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
OF her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column.

THE REPUBLICANS.

| Last night the disaffected republicans
held meeting at Turner Hall, which at
tracted fair attendance, and the proceed
| ings were of more harmonious character
than was the case of the gathering last Fri
| day night
The meeting was made known only to
| those who are friendly to the cause, which
is given out as desire to break up the
ring rule which has hitherto characterized
the history of the republican party of this
city and county.
The meeting last night was called to or
der by Louis May. He stated that the
plan of not advertising the meeting had
been adopted because the ring republicans
had come in such force at the last meeting
called by his associates as TO prevent the
carrying out of the object for which the
gathering had been called. He denounced
the ''boss" system generally, and for one
did not propose to have few men dictate
what candidates should be put up by the
party, nor deal out the patronage of the
federal or state offices for this section, as
had already been the case for the past few
years.
He was in favor of reform, and thought
that it could best be accomplished by a
club composed of earnest workers.
In closing his remarks he nominated for
chairman Alderman John Reimers, who
was elected without opposition.
Fred Denkman was elected as secre-
tary.
An informal discussion followed, after
which 1t was decided to organize Lincoln
club, and committee of five on constitu-
ton and by laws was appointed and also
a committee of three from the different
wards to secure new members
Mr.. May presented resolutions similar in
all respects to those submitted by him at
the meeting last Friday night. and was in
substance that the members of the party
were independent republicans and were OPP
posed to cliques, bosses and dictators.
The resolutions also named a gentleman
of this city as choice of the meeting for
the position of Congressman, but his name
is withheld until he is waited upon by
committee, when the resolution and his
letter will be given to the public
The meeting named Alexander Steel as
chairman of the next meeting and retained
Mr. Denkman, after which an adjournment
was taken.

REYNOLDS.

REYNOLDS, H., June 18th, 1882.
Mr. K K. Johnston, better known as
Red Robin Johnston, living three miles
northeast of Reynolds, came to the con-
clusion that he could not do without wife
any longer, so he selected for his partner
one Mrs. Margaret Dooven, living four
miles southeast of Reynolds The day
set for the wedding was last Friday. Mrs.
Dooven was to meet her lover in Rock
Island last Friday, but for some delay did
not go until Saturday, but the groom was
on hand on Friday. Not finding his true
love he went to Milan, and stayed all
night with friend. On Saturday morning
he saw his true love going to Rock Island
with her son, to do some trading, SO he
followed up and they met in Rock Island.
Mrs Dooven giving her son the slip, the
old couple made their way to Davenport
and got married between times. Some of
Mr. Johnston's friends came to town, saw
his horse hitched on market square,
thought perhaps he met with an accident,
and so they started to look him up. While
his friends were standing about Market
Square they saw Mr. Johnston coming
down one side of the street and his beloved
wife on the other. Their friends suspect
ed something, asked them If they were
married, but the old couple denied it until
nearly home, when they invited their
friends to come to the mouse on Monday
evening. It has created quite talk in
this part. Mr.. Johnston was an old
widower of about fifty-seven years. He
