The Oninm Hahlt.

The other night there was a number of
young nen seated talking upon various
subjects. Among the rest was a druggist.
The conversation turned on the habit of
opium eating. Said the druggist, The
general public are almost wholly ignorant
in regard to the extent of this habit of
opium eating, even right here in Rock
Island. Why I know of at least ten cases,
mostly women. They must have their
regular allowance daily or they go wild.
Over ut the Mercy hospital in Davenport
they have a number of women who are
undergoing treatment for this habit, and
l am sorry to say that some of them are
from Rock Island county. The habit is
ten times worse than drunkenness A
drunkard can be reformed, but it is rare
case when a confirmed opium eater re-
forms. Their entire system, both nervous
and physical, becomes shattered, and
they never feel we'll unless under the in
fiuence of this baaeful drug. One time l
had woman come to me trembling like
an aspen leaf, and gasping for breath
She wanted opium and | gave her some
in liquid form and in a few minutes she
was all right again. The stuff quieted hel
nerves."
1t is curious how people will become
the slaves of habits which they mus
know will sooner or later cause their de
structiOn, either mentally or physically
or both. But it cannot be denied that such
habits are formed and that the results
noted invariably take place. Many peo-
Pile in this city will be surprised to learn
that we have opium eaters in our midst
and yet such is the case. The habit is
ten fold worse than drunkenness, and
causes more misery comparatively than
does liquor.

Laid Of Rest.

The remains of the late Michael Radi-
gan reached this city at 5;15 p. m. Satur-
day and were taken to the residence of
his brotherinlaw, Chris Schreiner on
Tenth street. The funeral took place
from st. Joseph's church at p. m. yes
terday, the Rev. Father Mackin officiat-
ing The funeral was very largely attend
ed. The deceased had hundreds of friends
in this city who deeply sympathize with
his family in their hour of trouble. The
pail bearers were Messrs. A. Hinckley, F.
Heaney and w W. Scott, of the c. r. l.
& P. road, and D. J. Botsford, L. Mc>

orders he was on honored member The

The pail bearers were six former fellow

with grief at the grave that she tainted
away twice. Mr.. Shields had hundreds
of friends in this city.

NV KINGDOM for a Horse.

Some time ago Messrs. Huber &
Schwartz, the well known liquor dealers,
took chance in lottery for horse,
gotten up by Moline man. They paid
fifty cents for their ticket, the same as
other persons who went into the scheme,
and won 1t seems that the fellow who
got the flake" up is not inclined to do
the square thing. He went and traded
the horse off that Huber s. Schwartz were
fortunate enough to get by lot, and sub.
stituted an old plug that no one will
have. 1t is understood that Huber &
Schwartz have offered to take $50 and
call the matter square, but this was res
fused. Today they sued the Moline man
for the value of the horse they got by
good luck.

The Dead sea-

Said gentleman to an ARGUS reporter
this morning, Il see yon are going for
the dead sea, on First avenue between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets.
That's right. The water stands there
day after day in the rainy season, and is a
nuisance. The street is in a very bad
shape for transfers, and as you know
there is large amount of teaming done
on that street daily. 1t does seem to me
that the street commissioner should give
the matter his attention" The locality
mentioned certainly does need to be fixed
up and the sooner the better. We I'M
derstand that the street commissioner has
for some time contemplated filling up and
grading the street, and doubtless he will
get at it one of these days.
