IN JAIL.

Larry Ryan is from Milan. and if report.
are to be relied upon, he will stand gooc
show of spending his summer vacation al
the State Reform school.
A short time ago he had little misun
derstanding with his parental ancestor,
He needed not the advice which fell from
his fathers lips, but attempted to make an
angel out of his progenitor because the
latter disagreed with him on some triiing
matter.
The boy was arrested and had hearing
before Justice Dickson, who bound him
over to await his trial in the county court.
The charge made against the boy was
threatening his father with bodily injury.
He is in the county jail. and will have
his trial at an eerly day
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-03-15

particulars of the affair as obtained from
residents of that place are substantially as
follows: Last Saturday morning buggy
containing man and woman and drawn
by two grey horses reached the residence
of Mrs. Florenes, an estimable lady of
Andover. The man alighted from the We
hicle and carried box to the front door.
This he deposited on the steps, and with
out ringing the bell or knocking for adj
mission returned to the buggy and rapidly
drove away. Shortly afterwards member
of the household had occasion to open the
front door when the box was discovered
and a babys.voice was heard in the vicini-
ty. The box was opened when bright
little girl baby, dressed in elegant clothing
was revealed to view. A paper pinned on
its clothing contained the information that
the infant was exactly two months old
The little waif was taken in, and will either
be sent to the poor farm adopted by the
family at whose home it was left.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the occupants of the buggy waited until the
front door was opened and the box carried
into the house, when they drove off in the
direction of Lynn. 1t was also ascertained
that woman of fine personal appearance,
elegantly dressed arrived at Lynn last Sat
urday via the c. B. & @. She had an in
FAINT in her arms, which attracted the at
tention of the passengers by reason of its
bright little face and ways.
The woman was met at the depot by a
man, who had a buggy and two grey
horses attached. She got into the buggy
with the child and was driven off
The team was not seen afterwards in
Lynn, although it is supposed that after
leaving the child the couple returned to
Lynn and took the afternoon train.
The affair is still shrouded in mystery,
as it seems strange that such desertisn
of an infant could have been so successfully
accomplished without exciting more sus-
picion than was caused by the case in
question.

A DRUNK.

Jennie Wright had a hearing beforeJus-
being under the influence of Liquor last
evening. She denied that such was the
fact, but the policeman who made the ar
rest was equally. positive that she was
drunk.

that the female had taken too much beer
or whiskey, and that in consequence OF
such indulgence she was unable to state

was escorted to the police station where
she spent the night, and this morning she

My wife has been laboring under chronic affec
TONS including catarrh, for 10 years and has been
treated for the same most of that time. without
terial benefit until she applied at the office of Mrs
DIR. keck, in Peoria, last fall. She had not then
spoken a loud word for nearly five months lost her
voice while under other treatment; was threatened
with paralysis, entire left side being very weak and
nnmb; nervous system was completely shattered :
her lungs in serious condition and her health fail,
ing rapidly. Her hands and feet were always cold
showing very poor circulation and condition of the
blood.
About Oct. l. 1881, she applied at the office OF Mrs
DR.. ksck for advice and treatment, which continued
faithfully at home until December. She made
several visits to Mrs. Keck's office in Peoria in the
meantime, TO obtain necessary directions and medi-
cines, and improved very much. Her voice was still
gone however, and still doubling. I took my wife
10 several physicians of eHinence for examination
and opinion. They agreed with Mrs. Keck to
what the trouble was. Some of them said there Is
very little hope others said there none, for
covery.
So. Mrs. Watson went with Mrs Keck and remain
ed at her innrmary five weeks In two weeks her
yoies was restored to It's original strength and tone
met her In Peoria on her return home Jan 25th
and heard her speak loud for the first time in eight
months; her health is very much bestsr in eyerv
way. 1t has paid us well to follow Mrs. Keck's adj
vice, although we had very little hopes at first IF

THE RIVER.
Opening Of the Navigation
Season.
Government Boats Ordered to
Southern Points.
The Logging Prospect at the
Present Time.

The navigation fol. the present season has
commenced at an unprecedented time in the
year, as it is not generally the case that the
river is sufficiently free from ice at this
port and points above before the mid
die of April.
As showing the character of the winter
which has just closed it is only necessary
to state that the ferry boat has not lost 6
single day ON account of the weather
since last spring when the boat was re
moved from her winter quarters, The ice
has been running during the winter, but il
has not closed at Rock Island, or been suf
f1iently thick to prevent ferry communities
tons between this city and Davenport.
DURING THE WINTER
the little steamer Evansville made many
trips from LeClaire to this city while the
regular packets were remarkably late in
securingstheir winter quarters.
The oldest inkabitant fails to remember
a season in which mild weather has been
SO general as was the case of the weather
during December, January and February.
1t is the only season on record in which the
ferry boat has been able to run every day
without any serious interruption.
THE COMING SEASON
promises to be very lively as preparotiaus
are being made for such an event. The
Diamond 10 line will as in time past run a
full line of stern wheel passenger steamers
from St. Louis to st. Paul, while the diyis-
ion line will put on some new side wheel
packets in addition to the Gem City, which
made such excellent record and financial
showing during the last summer and fall.
The movement of steamers about this
city are as follows:
The steamer Saltwater has been brought
up from the ways below this city. She will
be fitted out with some new boilers before
starting for the season.
The Evansville came down from LeClaire
yesterday. She was well loaded with pas
sengers, having about forty on board, who
came down to Rock Island and Davenport
for the purpose of making purchases.
The F. G.. A. Denkman will depart for
the logging regions of the upper river next
Wednesday. The G. J. Gallery will also
commence work on that line about the
same time.
The Silver Wave was launched at Le-
Claire, yesterday.
Captains Girdon and Scott, government
inspectors, viii arrive during the day and
inspect the Jennie Gilehrist, which is still
on the ways in this city.
The Josie is expected up from ST. Louis
tomorrow, and the Arkansas is advertised
to arrive from Dubuque during the same
lay.
