Physicians acre IN Vuin.

Mr.. David Meter. 795 Mission st.,
San Francisco, CAL, writes that for
several months he suffered from a
severe cold and cough, which finally
resulted in total hoarseness. He con-
suited several physicians, but obtained
no relief, and then tried Red Star
Cough Cure. After taking a few doses
he felt better and before he had
finished a bottle he was completely
cured.

The Coming Shadow,

The eclipse of the sun next Monday
will he visible throughout the United
States. 1t is the return of the annular
eclipse of February II, 1881. In 1881,
the central line passed over Texas in
northeasterly direction, being last visi~
bic on this continent in parts of Virginia
and North Carolina. AT this return the
path will be much further north. The
eclipse will be annular over q line from
Cape Mendocina, California, in latitude
40 . to Greenland, in latitude 10.
1t is estimated that the eclipse
will be annular over a path about
seventy miles wide. The only towns of
consequence in the United States within
this belt are Eureka, California, and Boze>
man, Montana. At St. Paul the
eclipse will obscure five siXths of
the sun, but will not be annular
At Rock Island seven tenths of the
sun will be hidden, sufficient to render the
eclipse most interesting event. The
eclipse will be annular because the cone
of the moons shadow does not reach the
earth. It will appear annular at those
places nearly in the line of the point of
the cone. In an annular eclipse a ring of
sunlight surrounds the moons shadow,
the moon being at such distance that it
does not cover the whole of the suns disc,
Until recent years annular cclipses have
been neglected by astronomers; but dur
ing the last one some very important OBJ
servations were made by the French as
tronomors, and it is probable that some
effort will be made to observe the coming
eclipse.

THETHIEyERY DENIED.
The Story which the Young Man from
Rockford Tells of the Bottle
of Perfumery.

A gentleman who said he was the uncle
Of the young man from Rockford, whose
misdeeds were published in the ARGUS
last Friday, was in the city yesterday in
qmring more closely into his career here.
He denies all Of the allegations made
against his alleged nephew and says that
the young man bought the perfumery of
newsboy. The story which the young
man tells is that before breakfast on the
morning after the stealing of the bottle
Of perfumery from Marshalls drug store,
he went to the post Office to get his
mail; that he met newsbOy on the
corner and bought paper from him;
that as he was about to turn away the
newsboY plucked him by the sleeve and
showed him the bottle of perfume, offer
ing II to him for IS cents; that he then
went to his boarding place and put the
bottle on the bureau where it was found.
What is strange about the story is that he
does not seem to know the newsboy.
Even though the circumstance of buying
a pint bottle of perfumerv for Is cents is
one which would probably have caused
any ordinary mortal to at least look at the
seller so that he would know whether he
was large or small or how he
looked generally. even if he would
not know him again should he see him
The gentleman denies that the young
mans father paid for the things taken,
but Mr.. Marshall says that he was paid
for the pcrfumery.
Far be it from us to pull down The
character of any one, and We hope tbs
young man will yet clear himself. ",
have as yet published no names of those
connected with. the affair, so that if in
nocent no injustice will be done him, bu
if guilty, his respectable parentagc ought
hardly to shield him from having his nam,
given to guard others from being further
imposed upon.

Speaking of the fight to get the two
bills in which this vicinity are interested,
through the senate at the last hour when
there was a grand rush to get bills
through the senate the Davenport Dsmo-
crat says; There is no doubt in the
world that this community is indebted to
Senator William B. Allison, more that to
any other man, outside of local representa-
tive, for passage of the Davenport and Rock
Island railroad bill and tine Davenport and
Rock Island railroad bridge bill, through
congress-twO measureTs of which he
took exclusive charge in the senate. lie
devoted a great deal Of his time to these
bills, despite his position as chairman of
the senate committee on appropriations,
about the busiest and most difficult chair~
manship in its duties, in the senate. Mr..
Allison was also warm friend OF the
Hennepin canal bill, and did what he
could to advance its interests in the
house. The Davenportcrs who have
been in Washington this winter are free
to assert that without the interest and
work of Senator Allison, neither the
railway bill nor the bridge bill would ever
have become a law. And in these meas
ures to promote the interests of his cons
stituents here he has had the warm CO
operation of his colleagues Senator wills
son, Senator CullOm, Of Illinois, Cons
gresham Henderson of Dubuque, and
Congressman Neece Of the Rock Island
district. These gentlemen did all they
possibly could to secure the passage OF the
measures so important to the people Of
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline. They
met the foes of the projects at every point
and the foes were active enough, and
altogether too numerous. But wherever
the foes struck a blow, these gentlemen,
under the lead of Senator Allison, waIded
it off in many instances, and gave tre~
mendous counter blows, in all instances.
Think::of the vigilance required to know
when opponents were not in alert, when
chiefs of opposition were off watch be
cause careless in a sense of security, and
in early morning hours Of an all night
session, to move at the right moment ex~
actly-not a minute to spare-call up the
measure, and effect its passage before the
enemies could gather their forces.

About a hundred persons attended the
spelling bee at the Broadway PresbyterI-
an church last evening to see good old
fashioned spelling bee and see the unfor-
tunate 90 down like nine pins when some
easy word was fired at them. At about
Q O'clock the skewl was called to order by
the first and second BELL and then the
leaders took their places. Rev. Cryer
announced that those refusing to spell
would be fned-gcntlemen 25 cents and
ladies 10 cents. This created dire cOnfu>
sion, when one brave(0 man had the
nerve to back down and pay the quarter.
The example was followed by many others
who were only too glad to get out of the
fix 50 easily, amid shouts of laughter at
their cowardice 1t was a great financial
hit and resulted in taking in about $40.
Finally the sides were chosen and the fun
began. Easy words came first so that the
shock would not be too great, aud then
pages were turned half dozen at time
to get to the hard ones. One Young LADY
who was besieged, Immediately surren-
dered, anOthers face wore q funeral
frown when she sought resting place
The only parallel was when valiant gen
tleman had not enough patriotism to re-
member the centennial When lady
who ought to know spelled trousers, she
was told it didn't spell trowsers, and re
tired from the fray, 1t was proven that
she knew more than the speller, but she
thought it best to retire while she still had
glory, Another was suddenly paralyzed
and still another failed to methodist his
vowels and consonants so that he could
remain standing. Mr.. Willard Baker
again proved himself to be the champion
spellcr of Rock Island and received the
first prize-a jack in the box A supper
was served after the match.

HAMLET. Mercer County. March

HAMLET, Mercer County, March 6.
EDITOR ARGUs:-WC have now cons
menced on another democratic admins
tration, and hope we will have another
commissioner of agriculture. When our
present one went into politics and into
tariff propagandism, he left himself with,
out excuse. A bcsottcd politician under
the pressure Of great political necessities
may publish the wages in this country in
one column and the wages in England
and Ireland IN another column. and then
like the republican party, outrage cons
mon sense and deceucy by claiming that
it was Englands free trade policy that
makes the difference. What about
British landlordism that takes nearly
all and leaves the laborers barely enough
to keep soul and body together Would
a tax on sugar swceten that bitter pill
What about royalty Pensioncd aristocracy,
an enormous navy and army, foreign
wars, a huge debt, all quartcred on the
industries. Every branch of business is
burdcncd by imports. The laborers take
what is left. Free trade, forsooth; what
about dense population, over stocked
markets, workmen competing for places.
If England will make her tax high enough
on imports, every other abOmination and
exaction will pass for nothing. That our
agricultural commissioner should leave
his seed business and prostitute his office
to give support to such hollow pretense is
matter for just complaint. The country
was neverin so critical condition as today,
but we hope to redeem it and make it
prosperous. Surely we have a high tar
if. Can not American lab0rers locked
out or smarting under reductions OF
wages already at starvation poiut see that
if we won't take British iron and give hel
iron workers bread IN exchange those
iron workers will como here and then
competition with the pauper labor Of Ell
rope will assume its most malignant form
The purse proud cotton and iron rings Of
this country don't ask a tariff on foreign
operatives. Let Us separate these weighty
matters from politics and our common
sense will teach US that that every man
and every community should be allowed
to choose without hindranCe the business
best adapted to his situation and the mar.
ket. He will sell in the market he viii
buy in without any hindranCc whatever

Emigrants on the Road.

city and over the bridge yesterday, on its
way from the eastern part of this state in
Will county. to Nebraska, where the
two men who were abosrd the schooner
expect to buy a farm, andpgo to farming
this spring. They started about two
weeks ago and got the benefit of some of
the last cold snaps. They had two good
horses, aud strong wagon, which was
covered with the regular canvas, over
which was a rag carpet, for further pro-
lection from the cold. In the back of the
wagon was a small stove, with the pipe
running up through the top. In the front
was the bed and cooking utensils. Dur
ing the journey they have been sleeping
in the wagon except in extremely cold
weather when the mercury ranged about
zero or below. They started this early to
get there in time for blowing and sowing

EDITOR ARGUs:-I am a resident of
Rural and constant reader of your val

me that some Ruralite has taken 1t upon
himself to enlighten the people upon
things that pertain not to him; in fact maxi
making other peoples business his busi>
in a way that is not very pleasing TO the
peace loving people Of this place. Now
