DIR. NICHOLS,
English Specialist,
511 Brady ST.,
CONSULTATION FREE.
A TESTIMONIAL.

To the People Of Davenport and Vicinity:
From no other motive than gratitude to
DR.. Nichols, of 511 Brady street, Dav-
eDport, Iowa, make the following state
ment:
My son eco years of age) was an inva-
lid for many years, suffering from a COM
plicated spinal disease to so great an eN-
tent that he was unable to walk, stand,
or even touch his feet to the floor. i
have tried many of our best physicians,
but in vain, all agreeing that there was
no help for him, and that he could live
but very short time, but hearing of the
unparalleled success of DR.. Nichols, and
of the remarkable cures he was perform
ing. concluded to take my son to him,
which did on the 18th of November, and
with the assistance of friend carried the
helpless sufferer into the consultation
room of DR.. Nichols. The doctor after
making careful examination, pronounc
ed the case one that could be greatly
benefited, if not entirely cured, and
commenced the treatment. After one
months treatment my son was able to
walk about the place, and has since been
steadily improving. and we have every
reason to hope for a perfect cure, | wish
further TO state that DR.. Nichols knows
nothing of this testimonial, as under
derstand he does not approve of the pub
fishing of testimonials. But the doctor
has brought health and happiness to my
home, and feel it my duty TO make this
statement to the world, knowing there
ore thousands suffering from chronic dis
eoses who know not where TO 90 for res
lief. Either myself or son can be seen at
| any time at my home in Moline, where
we will cheerfully converse on the subject
of my sons restoration to health, as we
feel that we cannot say enough in praise
of DIR. Nichols as a skillful physician
and perfect gentleman.

A RIVAL TO BELL.



YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March 3I.-Atter
three years close application, DR. Luther C,
Rose, residing at lalmyra, this county, has
invented what is known as the "Rose long
distance telephone transmltter" A thorough
tast was made of the device Monday, using
number six wire over the United Lines
Telegraph company running to Freeport,
Ills, with return loop on other poles
making the distance SIS miles. One trans
mitter was placed in the Office of the Rose
Electric company, and the other in the
laboratory, TWO blocks away. The faintest
whisper was heard distinctly over the long
line, and the ticking ot a watch was painey
audible To persons at the other transmitter
1t is entirely unlike the Blake transmitter
in action and principle, and DIR. Rose claims
that with his device conversation can be
readily carried on by persons 700 miles
apart. The test was made in the presence of
prominent capitalists, who have organized a
company here to manufacture it. Next
Sunday il will be given severe test over a
wire running te New York, then to Chicago

Tho Mayfiower is regarded by most pco-

tiles as manifested in the recent trials.
or course it is possible that under ex-
ceptionai conditions the Puritan would
prove the faster yacht Of the two.
Both the Priscilla and the Atlantic, the

JEWISH FARMERS.

Account of the Jewish Agricultural Colo
nies In Russia.
Au interesting account is given in q
German paper of the Jewish agricultu-
raj colonies in Russia. These colonies
owe their existence to the initiative of
the Jews themselves, who during the
reign of Alexander L., displayed a
strong desire to devote themselves to
agricultural pursuits. In 1853 the
total number of agriculturists in Po-
land was 28,391. Two years later there
werein New Russia thirty-fve colonies,
with population of 26, ,396. The gov
ernments of Kieff, Volhynia and
Pedolia contained in 1879, total of
ffty-six colonies in which 2O,7 Jews
were employed. The entire number of
Jewish agriculturists does not fall far
short Of 100000 The sun of prosperity
did not shine upon them before dark
periods of persecution came, and it
would not have been surprising had
they not altogether turned their backs
upon agriculture. As it is their wages
are not sufficient to maintain them and
their families, and they are obliged,
when the days work is over, to add to
their earnings by hawking small
articles of merchandise. se.-Epdngelist

Some time during the night she came to
