RuNNING CLOSE mo- THE RRINK.

Mr.. o. w. Hubbard, of this town, recent
ly narrated these particulars to our repor-
ter: More than two years ago, my wife
was attacked with Sciatic Rheumatism or
pain i'll the right limb, and it became very
severe. Pains would commence in
the hip and extend to the knee,
and down to the foot. Just as
soon as she would retire for the night, it
would become far mora severe breaking
up her rest, inducing sleeplessness, and
making her sick. We employed the best
medical help in the city. In the course of
medication, a severe attack of bleeding at
the nose resulted, lasting about four hours,
which nearly cost her life. Nothing pro-
duced any permanent benefit. Finally she
was induced to try st. Jacobs Oil, and
when she hadeused one fifty cent bottle of
it, she was entirely relieved of the pains
and rested quietly and easily After three
months, feeling slight symptoms of the
complaint returning, she procured another
bottle, using which occasionally, keeps
her free from all pain. would rather
give dollars for bottle than have her suf-
fer as formerly.

The case of Chapenbaugh against Noel

alleged that Charles MoeIler attempted an

by the defense working five days on the

The corn fields are badly washed, bridges

content with these honors the coroner

A. o. q. w. In fact, the heavy end of
that institution in Illinois reposes

one of the best pews in the church of his
choice, and pays for it, too, in shining
shekels, He sits astride of almost every
public enterprise by his own town, espe-
cially if it be started of the republican
party. He served his country in the navy
during the war of the rebellion, and won
his spurs-his captaincy, thus. In short,
he weighs over two hundred pounds avoir-
dupois, and every ounce of his flesh has a
coil of wire running through it, which the
battery of his active brain keeps humming
with electricity. Well, Capt Morris has
concluded, in due fullness of time that he
can best serve his country-in the capac-
ity of sheriff; and the good Jim Beardsly
and others who engineer the party will

alas, and alas when we would do good,

effect. The ARGUS. which is democratic,
from the crown of its head, to the sole of
its feet, is housing around after statistics
with which to Stay and to kill the captain.

sundry and divers occasions, in admins
tering the duties connected with running
a modern drug store the clutches of the
law have grasped the good Morris by the
nape of the neck and made him shell out
grievous fine for liquor selling. Rock
Island county contains a number of valiant
women, who traverse the length and
breadth of the country and dispense the
temperance gospel, and these good souls
have pretty fair following-in the rural
districts-so that woe is being worked up
about the devoted head of the would be
sheriff. Nevertheless the republicans gen
orally whip in the last recalcitrant vote,
and we make no doubt that although there
is great cry, Captain Morris will score a
complete victory over all enemies and
walk away with the persimmons.
