BEECHER'S BAD HEAD.

For two months In the year Henry Ward Beecher
can't preach. In August and September he takes
his vacation and endures the onset of the hay fever.
And it is, he says, something terrible and ire
mendous. A man with hay fever isn't accountable
for his actions. He is merely wild beast-frantic
with snrflng, sneezing and headache. His eyes
are red anu so is his nose. Every nerve in his
skull thrills with distress and his head is a fountain
of tears IL lives only to fly from seaside to noun.
tain top in search of relief And yet, whether we
call this form of Catarrh hay fever, rose fever hay
COLI or rose cold, Ely's Cream Balm will cure it.
This remedy is simple, pleasant and easy OF appli-
cation. Placed in the nostrs it penetrates and
soothes the affected parts at once restores the i'm
pared senses and creates healthy secretons in
cases of the longest standing. You cannot run
away from hay fever, but you can drive it from
by using Ely's Cream Balm. fm39w2

Mr.. Lowell as a Climber.

s'As several of u.s. said Emerson,
-'were returning to camp toward even
inc, after our various pursuits of the
day, a crow nest was discovered on an
upper limb of lofty pine and the ques-
ton was Immediately preached whether
or not il could be reached and secured
by the most expert climber. Lowell de-
clared that the feat could be accom-
plished, and on being challenged to at
tempt it Immediately made the trial.
He did some wonderful climbing, and
showed a venturesomeness that was
actually alarming, but with his most
strenuous efforts failed to reach the nest.
Of course he was made the butt of some
lively jokes, and ii was the conclusion
of the rest of the party that the nest was
entirely safe. from the grasp of human
hands. After our amusement at his dis
comfiture was over Lowell said: ''Well,
gentlemen, you've had your laugh, bat
perhaps a little too soon. L shall get
that nest" Some derisive SMILES follow
ed, and the subject was dropped; but
the next morning, as we assembled for
breakfast, there in the middle of the
table stood the veritabA crows nest,
whose lofty perch we bad supposed was
unassailable. 1t seems that Lowell had
risen early. while we were asleep,
climbed the tree in the inspiration of
his morning vigor and secured the tro
ply. Those who are acquainted with the
character of our accomplished minister
to the court of ST James will not won
der ut this illustration of his pluck and
resolution. -Li0pi'acotfS Mdgdzi9e

A BAD ONE ON A DOCTOR.

About week ago ply sician was sent for
to examine the leg of an infant child,
the superstition being that it had been
broken in some mysterious manner, pre-

examination of the limb and having pro-

bandages. This was a week ago. remem

The child in creeping along the floor had
rested upon the needle heavily enough to

GOING To SPRINGFIELD.

Having secured the snug berth of Jour-
nal clerk, salary eight dollars a day, Mr..
W. F. Johnson will leave for Springfield
tonight. The ARGUS knows of no one
more deserving of such good fortune than
BILLY" Johnson, and ii hopes that this
one-legged veteran will be provided with a
well paying position hereafter, the tenure
of which will be for life or good behavior.
Mr.. johnson has had his full share of the
hard knocks and buffetings of his.party in
past years, and well deserves substantial
recognition for the future. When the
ARGUS sees a straightforward. manly polit-
ical opponent like Mr.. johnson secure a
good thing in the shape of Office it feels
like throwing all manner of old shoes after
him for good luck. in the hope that he may
yet repent and be found on e'our side !"
For republican sneaks, beats and cut
throats who obtain Office well the least
said the better.

ed an ARGUS representative telegram
which he had just received from Mrs.
Langtry. in which she emphatically and
explicitly instructed him respecting the
selection of necessary rooms for herself
and friends. The telegram also contained
| matter of personal nature with which
| the public has no concern. Once for all
Mr.. Schwab wants our readers to un-
derstand that even if there were break
down of the train upon which Mrs. Lang
try is coming at any point between New
York city and Rock Island, special en-
CINE would be chartered if necessary, in
order to get her here IN time to I'LL her
engagement. The persons who seem to
be industriously spreading the report of a
possible failure to connect had better turn
their attention toward something more
profitable. They must consider the man
agement set of dolts to pay the expenses
of twenty people at the Harper House all
