The Atlanta excursion passed through
Rock Island at 5:15 this morning. 1t
did not stop at Davenport; and it is pos
sible that a majority of the excursionists
were not aware that they passed through
that village, as they were all in the
sleeper and probably in the arms OF
Morpheus. When they return they will
stop in Rock Island, making their head
quarters at the Harper House. No doubt
the citizens of Davenport are weeping
bitter tears to-day for they had half way
prepared to receive them, and to be cut
so short, hurts their pride.
Last Sunday Deputy Sheriff Silvis and
John T. Kenworthy, who room over

the water works were out of order, and
no water was to be had. Silvis and

Siegfried, Manager of the Advertising Department
of the ST. Paul Pioneer Press STILL those of them
who do desk work are tempted to stimulate, forits
very hard on the nerves and stomach. -
"As for example,
AS for example, in my own case, I stuck to M

stomach kept about as good time as two-dollar

dorsed proprietary medicine before. but shall
depart from my rule and say that the Tonic isnot
merely the best thing but the only thing that
breaks up these attacks. All desk-workers should
make a note of it,
This preparation, which has been known as PAR
KERs GINGER Tonic, will here sitter be advertised
and sold simply under the name Of PARKER's Tonic
As unprincipled dealers are constantly deeeiving
their customers by substituting inferior articles
under the name of ginger, and as ginger is really
an unimportant ingredient, we drop the mislead-

There Is no change, however, in the preparation

there can be little doubt that they will
present all the parties SO engaged, upon
one or more serious charges. A civil
action has been commenced by DR.

cheap freights means cheaper goods and
higher prices for the products of our
farmers. The chairman of the Business
