BELIEFS ABOUT A HOKsEsHoE.
How q Young Lady Picked Up the Omen
OF Good Luck.

"a eF30A AAhNhs
Among the popular superstitions of the
day none is perhaps more popular than
the belief that a horseshoe that has been
lost from the animals hOof brings good
luck to the finder.
A stylish young lady was tripping down
Whitaker street yesterday afternoon. No
one would have thought that her pretty
dark eyes would ever see a dirty old
horseshoe half buried in the sand and a
dozen feet out in the street from the side
walk. But they did. The young lady
glanced hastily over one shoulder and
thea over the other TO see if anyone
near was looking. There was nobody in
sight except a gang OF laborers and
an old market woman with a basket Of
vegetables.
Slipping her shopping bag on her
arm the young miss daintiy gath
cred her skirts about her and darted out
70 where the Innocent looking shoe lay
alongside the horse car track, where it
had probably been kicked from the hoOf
Of some lively mustang. IL was n small
} 1dair and was bent and twisted and full
lalf ciinChed nails, but 1t was, to all
'nts and purposes horse shoe. StOop-
down the young lady snatched il up
in jifly it was damned into the
sping bag on her arm alongside OF all
transferable things that young ladies
in that mysterious receptacle, With
A, frightened look up and down the
she shook the dust from her skirts
aaIted round the corner out Of sight.
=. labOreTs, some OF whom had seen the
Sste,lady's ind, wondered what in the
she was going to do with 1t. The
are that it will be gilded with
md with big orange ribbon tied
The L the bow, il will be nailed over
ISGthe Ger before tonight. According 10
hurg Jpular superstition i'll luck will
- enter through the door thus guarded.

AAAN AA huhaAbhh Lie uEdMCb company
The Thirty-sixth Annual Statement of
the Manhattan Life Insurance Company,
which we publish this morning, reminds
one OF the thrifty Yankee in whose town
'people got rich by Winding their own
business" Without engaging in eXpen-
siye discussions of methods OF insurance,
OF playing with new experiments, the
Manhattan keeps steadily on the even
tenor OF its way, and closes the year with
handsome increase during 1855 in it's
net assets, and a general tone OF strength
and healthy Vigor in all its departm eats.
Among insurance companies ana experts,
the financial strength of the Manhattan
has become so generally recognized, that
II stands III this respect as an admitted
example for all The others, and in a posi-
tion of undisputed pEe-eminence. Patrons
OF the Manhattan, old and new, have
never had cause for a moments doubt az
to whether they were insured in fact as
well as Ia name; the record transactions
and statements of the Company nave uni
i9Flaly told the same tale, and figures.
which never lie, have demonstrated the
conclusion and the wisdom Of the policy
by which IL has beenseeured. Messrs. r.

A Good Investment.

Anyone who has ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety % government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide of immi.
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from The long
rigourous cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land, easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at a smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money be has invested in it.

invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit, or if you are farm

st. Luke-s Hospital.

The Hospital Gdid desire 20 cali the
attention of the citizens of Rock Island
and Moline to the work that has been
done the past year, commencing with
Oct. list, 1885, and present its needs. last
October the two cities were Canyassed
and monthly subscriptions ia small sums
asked to support the hospital for one
wear; the burden thus being distributed
among the many instead Of falling ON the
few. The appeal met with a willing re-
Spouse from many citizens of Rock Isl
and and Moline, and the amount subscri'
bed by all. averaged $112 monthly.
This, with the sums received from pay
patients, has met the expenses so far, and
enough money remains in the treasury to
warrant the running of the hospital Il
short time longer. When :he funds are
exhausted, another appeal will be made
to raise sufficient money in the same way.
1t is not pleasant duty for the ladies
having in charge this matter. to make
these collections, but they have cheer
fully discharged their duties, and gener
ally been met with q COrdia
response. 1t is hoped they will he foun-
ready to enter upon the same duties an
other year. if they meet with suficien
encouragement From October last, tt
the present time. the hospital has re
ceiyed thirty-five patients. There ha
been seven casualties; several out of tn,
whole number have been free patients
From the time the hospital was opened
in 1S84-until this date, there have beef
seventy four cases. Seven deaths hav
tskep place, and Of these no hOLe of re
covery was given when entered. All pa
tients discharged have recovered. From
this statement it seems to be well dem
onstrated fact that a hospital is nue.
needed for our two cities. and it will b
reproach to our people, if this worth
institution is suffered to die out for war
of sufficient interest and funds to sustai
it. Not q week passes that a sick c
wounded person is not brought to ST
Luke's hospital to be kindly nursed an
skillfully treated. But the hospital
not self-sustaining institution, an
money is needed to carry it on. There
fore, when it is necessary to make anotf
er appeal, the guild trusts it will not
vain, be made.

Lumber Wen Checking the Extensive
Log Stealing at LeCIaire.

The first trial of saw mill proprietor
for having stolen logs in his possession
that has ever taken place in this section
occurred before Justice Kramer in Owen
port yesterday. The Democrat descibes
the case, which is of general interest, as
follows:
The suit was brought by one of the
lumber manufacturers of Davenport, in
the interest of all IN Rock Island and
Moline rs well rs in Davenport, because
stealing of logs from Iatts on the way
to the booms here has become SO frequent
and extensive as 10 amount to Cunsdera-
bic of loss every month Boys and
Young men shoot out of LeClaire and
Princeton on this side Of the river, and

other side, and rob RATS tied up in Cats

half dozen to Il DOZEN logs-which they
tow - small mills south of Camanche 10
the head of the rapids. and sell them 1t
issnot difficult theft, for the logs are
RATED in brails instead of cribs, as of old
| and ii is no trick at all to run single logs
from the brais TO free water. Of course
this theft can be punished the same rs
any other stealing. but the trouble has
| been to catch the thieves. But the law
provides that the ''taker-up" OF ANY
