a Narrow Escape.

There was scene of confusion akin
to panic in the Burtis opera house al
Davenport last evening. A vocal chorus
Of seventy-five choristers was rehearsing
for a musical festival when the platform
upon which the singers were standing,
suddenly gave way and all came down in
heap. The platform was about eight
feet high, fifteen feet wide and passed
beyond the stage wings. When it fell, it
caused crash that sounded for block
away. /: was feared that somebody was
shot, SO much like the firing of a gun
did it sound. The young ladies', who
compose the greater part of the chorus,
were considerably frightened; some of
them received severe injuries. The
screams that rent the air as the platform
was falling were really terrorizing to all
who were within hearing distance. Many
were so frightened by the fall, they could
not speak when friends questioned them
as to whether they were hurt. 1t was
quickly ascertained whether any of the
chorus had received serious injuries-no
one had. 1t was a very narrow escape,
and indeed very fortunate one. II
would not be surprising to hear of the
roof of that concern caving in some of
these days if the snorting of locomotive
does not shake the building down in the
meantime.

Plumbers, carpenters, painters and
paper hangers have been very busy for
several weeks past Transforming No. 222
Market Square into dining room. An
inspection will convince anyone that they
have succeeded admirably in their efforts.
Mr.. G. D. Gordon, the proprietor, has
now the largest and finest restaurant
dining room in the tri-cities, the seating
capacity being for $50 persons. With
the addition of this room Mr.. Gordon has
now double the capacity. which addition
has become necessary on account Of his
increasing trade. This hotel contains
fifty beds in well ventilated rooms with
convenient water service, which, with its
large and airy dining hall makes it very
choice place to stop. This restaurant
is an excellent place for churches and
other societies to use for suppers, having
all the conveniences for that purpose.

ANXIOUS SUSPENSE.
Mysterious Disappearance of Mr..
August Herkert---WhereI rs HeY

Mysterious DISAPPEARANCE OF Mr.
August Herkert---WhereI Is HEY
Since Thursday night last the family OF
Mr.. August Herkert have been in great
home shortly before noon on that day,
after strengthening up his accounts in his
saloon at 1915 Second avenue, and the
last known of him was that he purchased
ticket for Galva and left ON the X. i.
g. Z. train of that afternoon. He had
been suffering greatly for several years and
OF late had had several hemorhages
of the lungs which greatly weakened him
physically, and the consequence was that
he was more or less respondent. A few
days before going he gave his wife some
insurance policies and pension papers
and told her they would do her more
good than him. He did not intimate to
any one that he was going away but his
daughter, whom he told shortly before
leaving home that she would not see
him again.
1t is feared that his illness has caused
a mental arrangement and he has wan
dered off and may perhaps have suicided.
Places where he would be likely to have
gone have been communicated with and
no trace of him can be found. His bust,
ness and domestic relations were pleas
ant.
II has been reported this afternoon
that he was seen at the commencement
exercises at Harper's theatre Friday
night. but this is probably a mistake.
1t is TO be hoped that Mr.. Herkert has
simply gone on visit to friends aud will
return in due time all right.

ton OF rates cuts no figure in the

rangement, there would be no change
in rates. Steamboat rates are estab-
lished according to railroad tariffs al
lowing the equitable differentials on
account OF rates of insurance, time

concentrated against Blaine and NOM
mated Hayes. In the next national
convention of 1880 at Chicago there
were some scattering votes for Conk-
ling again, but he did not want them.
His attention then was solely direct
ed to holding "the old guard" in line,
and it will be remembered that when
stampede was made on the thirty sixth
ballot for Garfield that Conkling was
still seen with his silk handkerchief
around his neck pulling for Appomat-
tox and that they went down even to
the last ballot with 306 votes for U.
S. Grant. Mr.. Conkling wss man of
strong dislikes as well as likes and his
influence was unfavorably felt in 1884.
With all his peculiar traits his integri-
ty was never impeached and he will
go down to history not only as one of
the the most talented Of American
statesmen, but also as an honest and
incorruptible man.

A Rat Plague in China.

Almost every newspaper from
Australia has something to say about
the rabbit plague in that colony.
The Scientific american Of Dec. "a
last year, contained report from the
Department of Mines, Sydney, New
South Wales, detailing the extraordi-
nary detruction caused by rabbits in
that colony, and accompanied with
the offer Of $4,000 sterling as a re-
ward to any person who would con-
trive a method for their extermin-
alton.
And now comes similar wall from
China, stating danger which
threatens that empire. A recent
number of the Pekin Gazette contains
memorial to the Emperor from the
Governor of Uliassutai stating that,
owing to the appearance of swarms of
rats, it has been found necessary to
alter the routes of the government
courier service in three Of the postal
stations in the Khalkha region in
Outer Mongolia. For two years past
the pasturage Of the districts in ques-
tion has suffered severely from the
ravages of these vermin, and last year
nearly ever blade of grass was eaten
up. The whole country has been
honeycombed with their burrows, the
horses and camels are in famishing
state, and there is no means of keep
ing them alive. The burrows are
source of great danger to the mounted
couriers, and the want of forage
renders it impossible to maintain
supply Of animals for the service

THE EXPERIENCE
OF A LIFETIME,

Combined with attention, caution
and carefulness, have enabled the
proprietors of DR.. Guysott's FELLOW
Dock and SnrsGparilia to make it
the best blood purifier in the
world, the surest strengthener of
the urinary and digestive organs,
the finest Alternative, the truest
tonic. A lady who suffered from
weakness peculiar to her sex, in
writing to friend said:
'Itried various kidney medicines,
but only found myself growing
worse. My husband brought me a
bottle of Or. Gaysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsapnriila It's effect was quickly
apparent. My complexion ere long
became clear and free from pimples;
soon enjoyed gladsome freedom
from aches and pains; l became
less nervous; my habits became
regular; l gained in flesh and have
been made to feel better every way.
I can not praise the remedy too
highly as true friend to suffering
women and as q strengthening
medicine"
1t is the safest remedy lady can
use, as it leaves no unpleasant after
effects nor does it's discontinuance
cause a craving for its further use.
