MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE ~ HUNTING
DON COUNTY.-A SOltillO correspondent of
the Mt. Union Times tells the following:
On the 21st day Of July, while Mrs William
Stake, Benjamin Stake, and several of Mrs Stakes
family were eating a ten O'Clock piece in their
meadow a fiat stone three OF four feet from them
rose mp slowly and turned over. A few minutes
before Mrs. Stake had placed this stone there for
the purpose Of sitting on it, but had changed her
purpose and had SET down on the ground SOM
three teet from it. The stone in form is perfectly
nat on two sides, "a inches thick, with face Of
eleven by ten inches, and very nearly forms a
fourth Of circle, and weighs Is pounds
The grass had been moved of closely where the
stone lay, leaving a smooth serface. The writer
with all others who have examined the stone and
the ground, ind it impossible to account for its
turning from natural causes. There can be no
mistake about the stone lying its fat side when
II commenced to raise, as Benjamin Stake was
looking AZ IL when IL first moved and its motion
caused the Others TO notice it. The writer tried
70 place the stone its edge on the ground where
IL lay. but found 10 impossible to get II to stand
as 10 would either fall to one side or the other
The above is no sensational story. The parfies
who witnessed this scene were very much alarmed
and are willing 90 make their afidavfts 10 the
iac-s stated apOve. They live one mile from Sal
ttlio. and can be interviewed at any time BY nny
who may desire, and also any who may feel curl
Gus can see the stone by calling the Tunes office

IMPORTANT ARREST.

The man arrested yesterday by the Dav-
export police in whose possession was found
two bits, a blow pipe, powder and other
instruments used in safe blowing, gave
his name as George Jones alias Dillon. It
is supposed that he was implicated in the
robbery of Holt Sc Wilson's store at Moline
on the last day of December. Jones has
but one leg, and at times wears a wooden
leg. He was seen at Moline on the day of
the burglary, but disappeared that night,
and was next heard of in Rock Island
where he was arrested on suspicion. No
case could be made out against him and
he was discharged. Yesterday he turned
up in Davenport where his arrest was
effected and the discovery made that he had
a full set of burglars tools in his possession.
He lives in Davenport, and served one or
two terms at the Iowa penitentiary. He
will be brought over to Moline during the
day without requisition, as he pretends.
to be innocent and is willing to stand
trial.

Mr.. Martin A. Connolly, merchant of
Oil City, Pa, writes: II inherited i'll health
from my parents, who were both short-lived.
NV wife is sickly little woman, and has
suffered considerably. We have had five
children, three of whom died in infancy;
the other two, boy of 4 years OF age and
o girl of wears. have always been quite
puny, weak, and sickly. Some time ago l
read medical work that spoke of iron as
essential to life, that want of iron in the
blood was the principle cause of illhealth.
Shortly afterword saw an advertisement
of Browns Iron Bitters. I determined to
try it for myself and family. The result
has far exceeded my greatest anticipation.
Myself, wife and children have all grown
healthy and strong Sores, aches and pains,
headaches, indigestion and sleeplessness,
formerly so common in my family, trouble
US no more. Every bottle is worth its

less remembers to the present day. Miller
stepped up to Schmidt cell and asked the
prisoner what was the occasion OF 50 much
smoke The prisoner attempted to tell
that the building was on fire. Miller there
upon attached the hose and for some time
had a stream of water playing on the pris-
oner He was finally allowed to come out
and the condition of his clothing was some
what damp to draw the story mild.
LOSS.
The loss caused by the fire can only be
estimated in q general way, as from the
nature of the structure, no exact amount
can be named that will cover the loss 1t
T is estimated that it win require fully 3d..
900 to replace the entire building in as
good condition as before the. fire. The
roof viii have to be replaced, ana-the cell
inqs and walls arc more or less damaged.
The jail suffers the greatest loss. while the
Sheriff's private loss, by reason OF the des-
truction of his furniture and household
effects will not fall below $500.
The rooms occupied by the County and
Circuit Clerk are somewhat injured by the
water. which covered the floor this morn
ing. The records of both offices were not
injured in the least by the water.
TEMPORARY PLANS
The Sheriff visited Davenport this morn
ing to secure an engine with which to pump
out the cellar of the building. as water
three feet deep covered the basement floor
after the fire had been extinguished.
For the present the prisoners will be held
in the city armory, and if possible, tenn
porary roof will be placed on the Jail, the
cells repaired and the prisoners returned TO
a. III
arrangements can be made, the prisoners
may be taken to the Henry county jail at
Cambridge, until the quarters in this city
can be repaired
Three of the fourteen prisoners, Clark.
OConnell and Garry will be taken to the
penitentiary Immediately, while fourth,
Dick Colemer, completes his sentence to-
morrow and will be released The eleven
prisoners will then be cared for in the best
manner possible under the circumstances.
FIRE BRANDS.
Supervisor Taylor, chairman of the
Beard of Supervisors, will call special
meeting of the Board, to be held next Fri
day morning at 8 o'clock.
There was no insurance on the Jail
building, as the policy on that structure
was allowed to lapse about three years
ago. The building was supposed to be
fire proof
The grand jury recently recommended
the covering of the partition wall between
the men and the women's department of
the jail with boiler iron. If this had been
done, the fire this morning would have
been impossible.
J. ] Schmidt is confined in cell at the
Armory, while the remaining prisoners are
held in the tramp room.
Heilwagon, on trial for murder. was the
most composed person in Jail during the
fire. He did not appear to be the least ex-
cited, although he did not know the To-
cation of the flames. The jail was filled

Kind Word of Advice.

If you feel yourself growing weak, your
strength failing, the natural functions OF
the body becoming impaired, take warning
in time, your system needs Iron, which,
when combined with proper vegetable ex-
tracts, produces tonic of rare medical eff
feet. Such remedy is Browns Iron Bit
tiers. Buy it of your druggist and do not
be persuaded to take substitute, for this
is the only remedy which gives permanent
strength. 1t contains no alcohol, nor does
it blacken the teeth. 1t receives the uni
versal endorsement of clergymen, physici-
ans, druggists and all who have used it.
