An eleven year old son Of Judge Watt
ern an, of Davenport, created sensation
in the school which he attended and no
smtll amount of grief and anxiety to his
mother one day last week by purchasing
small bottle of laudanum and taking
140 drops before he was discovered. his
teacher detecting him in the act of taking
it in the school room, and on asking him
what he meant. received the reply that he
fea red he would not pass his approaching
examinations and proposed to put an end
to himself. Medical assistance was at
once summoned and after long and al
most hopeless exertion the physicians
brought him through. The desperate
you tn still insists that should he fail of
promotion at the end of the year, he will
adopt other means of suicide. Judge
Waterman, who is one of the best known
and most esteemed citizens of Davenport,
is SO much of the time away from home
in consequence of his duties that he has
probably not had the time to apply the
pa6 die as frequently as he should have
dore.

The Kicker.

The kicker is an animated creature
here on earth, but it seems there is q
prospect that this nuisance will be made
scarce when he gets beyond the limit of
human existence, if he is altogether too
frequent here below An exchange OBJ
serves:
Saint Peter sits by the heavenly gates
his hands on the strings of Tyre, and he
sings Il low song as he patiently waits for
the souls of those who expire. He hears
in the distance the chorus of song that
swells at the foot of his throne, and he
smiles as the music is waited along, and
MARBLES this lay of his own: There is
room in this region for millions of souls,
who by sorrow and woe were bereft; It's
for those who have suffered the melody
rolls, but the kicker must turn to the left.
There is room for the people, who when
they were young, persisted in sowing
wild oats, and who doomed up their town
with sinew and tongue-but the kicker
must 60 with the goats. There is room
for the people who pointed with pride to
beauty and growth Of their town. who
kept singing its praises and charms till
they debut the kickers will please
ramble down. They'd say the music was
all out of tune. and the angelic robes
hand-me- downs; they'd send for jeweler
of to the moon TO sample the gold in the
crowns. So, while there is room for a
million of souls who by sorrow and woe
were bereft, we want no complaint of the
music that rolls-so the kicker mast turn
to the left"

The Hostetter Stomach Butter People Score
Another Victory.

In the United States Circuit Court for

Shipman handed down an opinion few
days ago in the suit of the owners of the
trade marks covering Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters against Arnold Theller and
Corn ell Theller, the compounders located
on Vesey street, New York City, In
which 1t was decided that, although the
defendants made use of their own names
on the labels affixed to the bottles con-
tanning bitters prepared by them,
yet as they were evidently designed to
initiate the Hostetter labels, they were
infringers, and perpetual injunction
was granted and an accounting of dams
ages ordered. together with the cost of
the suit. 1t is the evident intention of
the Hostetter people to protect their
valuable trade mark against all infrin>
gers.
