A Day at Black Hawk.
BOWLING. Ill. june 10.

DOhLlNo, III, JUNE 10.
The young folks of this neighborhood,
after talking about picnics and electra,
concluded to have one at Black Hawks
tower Friday, June IL. which, consider
ing the lateness of the spring and back
wardness of farmers work was well att
tended. Prominent among the young
folks present were Mr. and Mrs. Ohaver.
Mr.. Ohaver objected to so many Old
folks being present, but finally had to
succumb to the inevitable. With tine ex-
ceptlon of some of the young gentlemen
getting outside of sufficient mineral water
to down them, everything passed off
pleasantly in the forenoon. The dinner
(Which is one of the essentials of pico
nic) to say the least was fine. The ladies
had certainly We'd with each other in see
ing who should have the best. I'VE speak
for ourselves and not another.) After
the dinner hour some amused themselves
at croquet Others at boating. while
others visited Crab Apple Nook and
viewed the beautiful scenery. Later on
in the afternoon party was gotten up
to take steamboat ride on the river.
All voted this one of the most pleasant
rides they had ever had, although some
of the young ladies complained that they
had TO hold their parasols over the gentle.
men. About o'clock dark cloud aIise

majority started for home all voting that

THE BEST KIND OF REFORM

Vice President Hendricks, and he is de-
servedly so for the reason that he takes
care Of his friends as fair return for the
manner in which they have taken care of
him for many years. He is not afraid to
take care of them. either This admin,
istration has no disposition to snub him,
and on the contrary has the highest re
spect for him and his opinions; but il
there should be an attempt to do so he
would resent it with the fire and indigna>
ton of man who had not gone beyond
his prime. And he is right. The demo,
cratic party won the victory in the last
national election, and it is its duty as
well as its privilege to take possession Of

want office as for another set to keep Of

THAT ELECTION BILL.

The republican members OF the house
of representatives of Illinois have pre-
pared vouminous election bill, which
they propose to have passed to the third
reading before any other business is
transacted. In this the republicans are
posing as obstructionists, and they GER
taiuly have some sinister motive in de-
string such hurried legislation. They
are not even willing to allow an amend
ment to the bill, but propose that it shall
be passed without alteration The dem
ocrats recognize that the election laws oil
the state need amending, and are per
fectly willing to pass the bill which is
under consideration, if two or three very
Objectionable features are removed. They
do not desire to interfere with other
legislation to secure their object. but are
anxious to forward all good bills, and
will bring them up and work on them if
the republicans permit. The republicans
are in majority. and while they are
waiting to get their men all present to de-
eide the fate of the election bill, they
should not obstruct other legislation, be-
cause the democrats want some reasona>
BILE amendments If the republicans can
pass the bill as it is. they have right to
do so, but they have no right to demand
that the democrats shall concede the bill
to them without amendment.
There is no doubt but that the bill is g
republican scheme, and intended to dis
franchise democratic voters in Chicago
aud other cities of the state. where The
workingmen cast large proportion o
the vote The bill provides that the poll.

polls, thus excluding all persons not reg
istered.-The democrats also object to tn,
large salaries proposed TO be paid to cleo
ton commissioners, which are created by
the bill
The democrats have taken the prope
stand on the question, while they are al

purity of the ballot, and promote tn

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

fatner, mOLneT, anu 1nTee olsteIS Deau.
Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought | could live. My work (ship-
smithing)was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and /
had improved So much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and l must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and / will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhGa, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb

"A Suggested Romance-G Cody Men
Claiming Glory-FIarried and
Corpse in a Day.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, June 15-There is a
pathetic side to the story Of young William
Larrigan, who was released from the peni
Tertiary at Fort Madison Friday morning
and brought to this city. About fifteen
months ago the young man was in the en-
ploy of a farmer in this vicinity,
and had charge of some cattle which
he disposed of in a way that cast
suspicion ON his honesty and made
him guilty of technical offense. He was
arrested, tried by the court without jury,
found guilty, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for three years. Inundated by his
disgrace the young man resolved that his
widowed mother should not hear OF his
conviction and imprisonment His letters
to her (she lived in distant city were
mailed to her by friends outside the prison,
and the good soul is today ig-
norant of the imprisonment
of the son, who will soon return to her. Two
cases involving the principles of conviction
without jury were taken up to the su
preme court. which has just ruled that his
conviction was Illegal Thursday night
Sheriff Painter went to Fort Madison and
Friday evening he returned with the pris
oner. The case will be brought up for q
new trial. but the state will not prosecute,
and Larrigan will be set free.
One of the most touching Incidents Of the
case remains to be told Mr.. d. o. Finch
who was employed after Larrigan's impris

court, and who has successfully brought il
to an issue, informs us that he was EN-
