Capt. Jos. Cameron of the ferry. Spen>
Ger, met with painful accident and an
altogether narrow escape yesterday,
while attempting to'"assist'' an unman-
ageable pony on the boat. 1t was at
the Davenport side, aud two boys were
frultlessly eudeavoring to bring the
animal on when Capt. Cameron went out
on the dock, and while attempting to
fa>ten rope about the animal. it let one
of its forelegs slip and Cameron fell al,
most senseless with severe cut in the
s. zip, bruised shoulder aud other lesser
injuries The captain was taken to a
doctors Office, though not until he had
controlled his unruIy passenger, aud the
wound sewed up and dressed. Cameron
thinks he knows more about ferry boats
than mustang ponies, and does not care
t. take any more lessons with thai

They were churned into a perfect egg

CRUELTY TO A CHILD.
A Little Girl, the Victim of n Brutes
Depravity, ShaInefulIy Treat

Three years ago one OF the most res
spected families in the city took from the
county poor farm, and adopted little
child ten years of age, who was received
as their own child, given the general ad-
vantages of life. taken into the church.
and efforts were made to make the little
ones life as pleasant as possible. Il was
afterward developed that the child was
not as bright as might be, and that per-
iodically she was quite demented. But hel
foster parents treated her with all kind.
ness possible.
A short time ago, however, peculiar
symptoms manifested themselves in the
child, and physician was not long in
determining that the girl, then only thir-
teen years old, was pregnant. Investigation
revealed the fact that son of the girls
adopted parents had been the cause of
her ruin, and finding the condition OF his
victim, he fed, and the brute's wherea.
bouts are at present unknown. This
man, who has proven himself such an in
human monster, has, until now, borne u
good reputation in Rock Island. He
has held a steady position in one of the
largest factories in the city and WAS in
dustrious and trustworthy He was d
member of the Rodman Rifles and OF
other organizations, and his associations
were at all times good.
But the worst is to come. Finding
that the girl had been ruined, she was
dismissed from the church and sent back
to the poor farm to bear the disgrace of a
crime committed by another. The child
should have been pitied rather than
blamed, and her age alone should be suf-
ficient TO show that she was an innocent
victim of fiend's lust and depravity. and
the hand of charity and christianity
should be extended to her now, if never
before, while the scoundrel who has &C
complished her ruin, should be found and
fttingly dealt with.

Artesian Wells in the Sahara.

!BCStOn transcript
A correspondent of Ausland makes
communication regarding the present con-
dition of the artesian wells in Sahara 1t
is well known that such wells have been
in operation there from a very remote
period and in the Algerian Sahara addi-
tiOnal wells have been opened with con
siderable success by the French. Between
Biskra and Tuggurt the 434 old wells
yielded in 1879 "a 600 litres of pure water
per minute. the sixty eight French ones
113, 600 litres The number of palms had
increased from $50, 600 to 517, 900, that of
other fruit trees from 40, 900 to so, 000
the population 6,672 to 1887. In De-
cember. 1891, the yield of water from the
wells had risen to 100000 litres per
minute
But this success is confined to a narrow
zone within which water can be reached
within depth of 100 metres and even
here the borings that have been made
since 1881 indicate diminution in the
yield of water, making it appear as if the
limit of production of the underground
reservoirs had almost been reached.
Many of the French borings, too, are get
ting stopped up by sand, and are of too
small caliber to be cleaned out and re.
stored like the wider Arabic ones. 1t is
believed that it will be absolutely neces-
sary to set about the sinking of new wells
with a wider bore.

Cure for the Heartburn.


We went up to see the other man whose
speciality is cigars. He is obliged to ex-
anime the millions that arrive every week,
and he smokes from fifteen to twenty five
cigars day He gave recipe for heart
burn which l do not think is generally
known. Very many smokers suffer from
this distressing form of dyspepsia after
having INDUCED in cigar or two too
many. l lave often been hit pretty hard
myself that way, and have absorbed vast
quantities of bismuth, pepsin, baking
soda carbonic water, Rhine wine and
settler, and the various other remedies
which have been suggested from time to
time | asked the cigar man in the
appraisers office if he was ever troubled
with heartburn, and he shook his head
gloomily.
1t is an awful penalty for too much
smoking, and lots of men have it because
they don't know of a very simple and
pleasant remedy. "
what is the remedy?" l asked
"This, he said, dramatically; Il am
suffering from heartburn, | hold out my
left hand thus. knock some of the ashes of
the cigar into the palm of my hand, allow
it to get cool, touch my tongue to the
ashes, and, presto the heart burn is gone.
Y on look as if you don't believe it, but it
is an unfailing and accurate remedy.
There is hardly a smoker in Europe who
is not acquainted whit, and have never
explained il to an American in my life
but that he was surprised.

Eccentric RInE Ludwig.
TCLicayo Tribune1

The Bavarians are beginning seriously
to consider their position in regard to
King Ludwig. His ajesty's passion for
building palaces and ordering special
performances of dramas and operas, at
which he constitutes in his august per
son the entire audience. together with
mad extravagances of other kinds, have
raised the public dissatisfaction to such a
pitch that there is actually talk of a
change of ruler. The next heir to the
throne is admittedly insane. and the most
desirable candidate is Prince Ludwig,
cousin of the king. The only redeeming
feature in the proceedings of the eccen-
trio king is that he secludes himself
strictly from the public gaze He has
become, says a Berlin correspondent,
more inaccessible than ever.
