Vital Questions

Ask the most eminent physician
OF any school what is the best thing in
the world for quieting and allaying all ir-
ritation of the nerves and curing all
forms of nervous complaints, giving nat
ural, childlike, refreshing sleep always,
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
"Some form of Hops"
CHAPTER I.
Ask any or all of the most eminent
physicians
"What is the best and only remedy
that can be relied on to cure all diseases
of the kidneys and urinary organs, such
as Brights disease, diabetes, retention or
inability to retain urine and all the dis
eases and ailments peculiar to women"
"And they will tell you explicitly and
emphatically, Buchu."
Ask the same physicians
"What is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or dyspepsia,
constipation, indigestion, biliousness, ma
larial fever, ague, &C." and they will tell
you
Mandrake or Dandelon.
Hence, when these remedies are COM
bined with others equally valuable
And compounded into Hop Bitters,
such wonderful and mysterious cura-
tive power is developed which is so va
ried in its operations that no disease or
i'll health can possibly exist or resist its
power, and yeti is
Harmless for the most frail woman,
weakest invalid, or smallest child to use.

ton, and that Hoyt said TO him: I" "It would
he better 10 lot Damon have the contract for
shutters, and Hill will let us have something
else. Witness added, Z" | would like TO have
IL como out that since then, as matter of
fact Hoyt has had most of the furring and
lathing for the public buildings"
Mr.. Coleman. We will bring that out in due
time
Witness was asked why he permitted
Damon to submit such propositions, and re-
piled:
"Up TO certain point we had a perfect
right 10 talk business with Damon. IL he had
offered to take tho contract from us at price
sufficiently under our bid TO afford us fair
profit, IL would have been a legitimate busi-
ness transaction on our part to deal with him,
but when he suggested felony we at once
refused TO have anything further to do with
him"
Q. Do you charge Mr.. Hill with any con-
nection with this attempted bribery PA. L
consider it very suspicious that all these
things should occur in the interim between
the opening of the bids and the notification
to us that we must submit to test.
Witness further said that MIR. Thompson,
chief computer Of the architects office, made
the measurements of the two samples of shut
ters had lost the original memorandum but
had remeasured the shutters furnished by the
United States company (which are still in the
treasury building) aud had reproduced from
momory the measurements of the Manly 4
Cooper shutters; both were in places thicker
than the specifications called for.
Mr.. Hill took tho stand and was asked by
Mr.. Alexander, of the committee how long

Q. If you knew the United States company
had offered Manly, Cooper & Co. $i,500 to
withdraw their bid, why did you not, in max
ing n contract with them, give the govern
ment the benefit of that amount, and fix the
contract price at that much less than their
bid "A. / did not pay much attention to the
charge of bribery; did not take any stock
in it,

case Of Mr.. H. II. Warner some throo years
ago, Doctorp
Yes, sir"
What did this analysis show you9"
The presence of albumen and tube casts
in great abundance"
And what did the symptoms ind dicate2"
serious disease Of the kidneys"
Did you think Mr.. Warner could re-
cover ?"
mo, sir. I did not think IL possible. 1t
was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced case
had, up to that time ever been cured"
DO you know anything about the remedy
which cured him 2"
Yes, have chemically analysed IL and
upon critical examination, find II entirely
free from any poisonous or deeterious sub
stances"
We publish the foregoing statements in view
OF the conmotion which the publicity of DR..
Henion's article has caused aud to meet the
protestations which have been made. The
standing of DR.. Hcnion, Mr.. Warner, and DIR.
baltimore In the community is beyond ques.
tion and the statements they make cannot for
amoment be doubted. They conclusively show
that Bright's disease of tho kidneys is one OF
the most deceptive and dangerous of all dis
eases, that it is exceedingly common, alarm
ingly increasing and that IL can be cured.

PREPARE FOR IT.

1T is time to prepare for. cold wealth

toned his overcoat tightly about him.
Jack Frost has already made his APP

winter supply of fuel, and my stoves are
all in readiness. Last year | neglected
his duty, but have been taught les

The citizen is level headed, and knows
what he is about. 1t is time that everyone
was making preparations for the winter
months. Fill your coal bins and have
your wood shed full of good maple. Have
the stoves in position, all ready for use,
and do not wait until the thermometer
swings around in the neighborhood of
zero, before you make move
Look out for your health, too Glad

that when the singing wind from the

not feel the shivers run down your back,
and wish that you lived in some sunny
land. If you have an overcoat that looks

have none, send in your order to one of

making it. Your health demands that
you should be well clothed, and ifyou

BASE BALL.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The Mount
Carroll ball club had continued run of
ill luck after leaving this city The Du-
buque club beat them badly in two games
and Galena, Illinois, club added the last
straw BY defeating them by a score of II
to 2. The Mount CAROLS have with
drawn from the field for the season"
The Stars and EDWARDS meet for the
second time this afternoon. The game is
being played on the new and elegant
grounds furnished by Mr.. Bailey Daven-
port. 1t is much more pleasant for the
audience on the new grounds, as comfort
able seats have been arranged for their
convenience. Nearly everybody is under
the impression that the EDWARDS will be
successful today. The only cause for it
seems to be that some one spread the
report that the Chicago club threw" the
game last week, in'order to secure bets
for today. This is simply absurd, and is
an injustice to the Stars, who won the
game fairly, and on their merits. The
Chicago boys tried their best to win, but
could not succeed as they were out
played.
The EDWARDS had an easy walk away
from the United States club, of Moline, at
the fair grounds on Saturday, the score
standing "a to in their favor; Gil.
Bowen, of the Stars, played with the
EDWARDS. Henry Wheelan umpired the
game.
There was a game between the On
wards, and Davenport nine at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon. The crowd
was large, and great many had gained
entrance to the grounds before the arrival
of the clubs. Admission fee was charged
to those who arrived afterwards, but this
not seeming to pan out well, they were
given back their money, and the crowd
was ordered off the grounds. This did
not work well, however, as the crowd
proved to be obstinate, and it did not
manifest any desire to leave the grounds,
consequently it remained where it was.
Finally collection was taken up, and the
game was started. By the outcome il
was proven that the audience was not
justified in paying an admission fee, as il
was wretched game, the Chlcagos hay
ing everything their own way. The
game was brought TO an end, with a
score of 30 too, and the Davenporters
went home Disguised. They have evil
IDENTIFY made up their mind that they can't
play ball.

RAILROADS.&C..

There has been some talk that the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific road,
would shortly absorb the Minneapolis
& St Louis. and the negotiations are
now pending or nearly completed for
such consolidation. Saturdays Chicago
Tribune, has the following to say in re-
gard to the matter.
The Minneapolis & St Louis is at pre-
sent controlled by the Rock Island, and
and Mr.. Gable is the President of both
roads. Nevertheless, it is the opinion of
prominent railroad men here that the re-
ports about the consolidation are not true
and their reason for this belief is that the
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis and Rock Island
donot connect--the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids Il Northern forming the interme-
date link, between West Liberty and
A lbert Lea 1t coHld be no object to
| the Rock Island, it is claimed, to make
the Minneapolis & St. Louisa part of its
own system without securing at the same
time the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern This, however, it cannot easily
accomplish, as the road is owned Jointly
by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and
the Rock Island Companies, and the
former does not seem to be willing to sell
out interest to the Rock Island, as it also
needs the Burlington & Cedar Rapids as
an outlet from Burlington to Minnea-
polls and St Paul The railroad officials
here think that the rumors were started
for the purpose of booming the Minnea-
polls g. St Louis stocks.

UTTERLY FALSE.

Among other misstatements which ap
peared in last weeks Rock Islander, was
the following:
In February, 1882. we received letter
from an officer of the Liquor Dealers
Protective Association solicitidg the aid
of the Rock Islander in their cause, and
suggesting that for doing so we would be
literally rewarded Neither the editor or
the paper were for sale. But on the 18th
of that month we published an editorial
winch earned for us the enmity of the
liquor interest.
One of the officers of the association,
being questioned in regard to the truth of
this statement today, declares that it is
utterly false, and that no such offer was
ever made to Danforth by the association.
If he received letter, as he says he did,
it was written without the authority or
knowledge of the association. We think
if the liquor dealers would offer TO give
Danforth certain amount TO speak in
favor of them, he would change his
ideas in moment.
