As the time approaches for the conven.
ing of congress, interest in the great Hen.
nepin canal project is being revived. and
the indications are that the friends of the
measure will make determined fight fol
a congressional endorsement this winter
The preliminary steps towards an effec.
tive organization were taken at Daven.
port last night. where meeting of repre-.
sentative citizens of Davenport and Rock
Island was held in the Business Mems
association rooms. Among those pres
ent from Rock Island were Fred Hass,
Henry Carse, E. II. Guyer, Howard Wells.
Dr.J. w. Stewart. R. Champion. W. s.
Knowlton. DR.. W. A. Paul and ]. j.
Reimers.
Mr.. W. F. Ross was elected chairman
and j. B. Phillips. secretary. Hon. j.
Ii. Murphy addressed the meeting at
some length on the importance of an or
ganized effort to present the matter fully
before congress. and to push Hennepin's
claims for federal recognition with re-,
newed activity. He deprecated the
apathy his Davenport friends were mani.
Testing in not attending the meeting in
larger numbers. and complimented Rock
Island on its good representation. The
Davenport papers, he said. had not even
published the strong endorsement the
canal had received in the waterways con-
vention held in Cincinnati in October,
and if more interest was not manifested
here. it was not likely much could be
accomplished.
In regard to Hen nepin's chances be-
fore congress. however. Mr.. Murphy
thought they were never brighter than
today. There was a friendly feeling if
not warm interest in the project both in
the house and senate. The speaker of
the house would undoubtedly be favora-
Bile to it, as all the candidates were
avowed advocates of the measure. 1t
was also very probable that the presi>
dent would say kind word in his forth
coming message, and it was pretty near
certain that Congressman Henderson
would be made chairman of the commit
tee on railways and canals, which would
be big point in its favor. Wien Mr.
Murphy closed by stating that he had
abiding faith in the ultimate success of
the Hennepin canal, and that he proposed
to go to Washington next week and stay
there six months if necessary, at his own
expense, laboring in the good cause, he
was heartily applauded.
Upon motion a committee. consisting
of Hon. J. II. Murphy, of Davenport,
and Fred Hsss and Henry Carse, of this
city, was appointed TO select an executive
of fifteen, three from each
city. The committee reported the fol-
lowing names:

kets have both been moving at a rapid
rate, that has been both astonishing and
gratifying. We are told by eyery Gus :

and cheapest in the three cities.
Commencing with our plush Jackets
at ~. so and up TO $24 90, we guarantee
every garment to fit perfectly. and to be
at lees price than you can match them
elsewhere. Our trade IN this line last
week simply overwhelmed us, and on
wednesday we were obliged to telegraph
duplicate orders 20 three of our leading
manufacturers, so that on Monday noon
we expect our stock will be fully replen-
ished. and again the largest and best in
this section.
To add new interest to the depart.
ment for this week, we will sell our spec.

DECLARATION OF PURPOSES
Of the league which was adopted:
We, the officers of the Rock Island
Eight Hour League have been informed
that a rumor ia current that this league is
not what IL is claimed to be )y the pros
jectors of the movement, OF in other
words. that IL is a political sci eme run in
the interest Of some political party, or in
the interest of some one looking for a
political Office, take this method OF stat
ing that IL such rumors are in circulation
they are absolutely false ard without
foundation of any kind whate yer to war;
rant them; and that the parties using
them are not in the interest Ct or true
friends TO the labor cause nor in favor of
the eight hour day. Welook upon them
If there be such IN our midst. is enemies
and not friends of labor, notw ithstanding
all assertions they may make to the con.
trary. And as they are not fair enough
in this matter to come TO the meetings
and make known. there. in PIT bic, their
reasons for such statements. and give the
members Of the league chance to de-
fend themselves, and at the SINE time to
refute those charges, we deem 1t our
duty. both to the people and ourselves as
officers of the league. and to It's members
generally, to make this public statement
Of the objects Of this league.
The eighthour agitation II neither q
local or q national matter. Ii Is an in
ternational matter. and in oroer to prop
erly discuss and understand 1t, leagues
are formed. and we. as working people,
deem 1t duty we owe to GU rselves, our

Today was a much better day in
the general market than yesterday.
There were some buyers in the mar

liberal than yesterday. All things
considered, business was active
enough for the season. There vas a
good order trade in groceries, and the
market as a rule is firm. Nails are
very firm, as are all iron goods.
Coffee is weak at quotations. There
are no changes in sugar, but the
market is barely steady. The new
crop of New Orleans sugars are CONS

New Orleans molasses. Pork meats
and lard are firm at quotations, and
indications point to higher prices
Eggs are rather dull. Poultry is in

To the Teachers of Warren County.

You will soon close your schools,
and some Of you have 0iready closed,
Some of you may continue to teach,
as have done, for many years. AS
many of your pupils do not have an
opportunity to attend school more
than three months in year, you
should try to convince them that it is
very important for them to improve
their time during the nine months
that are not spent in school, by read
ing and writing, and studying their
text books.
have something, also, which ]
desire that yOu should observe.
The planet Jupiter is now visible
in the southern sky at about eight
O'Clock at night. 1t is the brightest
body in that part of the heavens, and
there is no danger of mistaking it.
1t is moving slowly eastward at the
rate of one-twelfth of degree in
day, or about two and a half degrees
in a month. Directly east of Jupiter,
there are five stars, forming a figure
resembling a little, short, straight
handled dipper, turned nearly bet
tom upward, with the handle to the
west, Familiarity called the Mlk- Dip.
per, because it is partly in the Milky
Way.
This little figure is so conspicuous
that it cannot easily be mistaken.
Jupiter is now on the west side of this
dipper, about two degrees from the
handle. In one month, on the 18th
of Nov, it will be near the end of the
handle, and in one year, at the time
when you close your schools in 1890,
it will be on the east side of the dip.
per, and four or five degrees from it.
Make note of these, and see if
: these predictions prove to be true.
In the Autumn of 1871, Jupiter was
l about where it is now; near the
: Milk-dipper; and, since that time, ii
has made four circuits around the
$ sun. In the year 1901, Jupier will
: be where it is now. On the 22nd
of December of this year, there
T will be total eclipse of the sun, in.
: visible in the United States, but visi
e BILE in South Africa. An expedition
fitted out by the government, and ac
S companied by a celebrated Prof. O

Health Onicer's Report for Septem-
bep.

To the Mayor and Aldermen Of the
City of McMinnville: The health of
our town was never better for the
month of September. There is no
disease prevailing to any marked eX-
tent. We have had but one death
during the month of September, and
the cause was consumption.
Malarial diseases are not as preva~
lent this fall as they have been for
the last several years. There has been
some few cases of fever from malarial
cause, but no deaths.
| am pleased to report that the
sanitary condition of our town is in IA
much better condition than it was at
our August report. ! have visited
the town as required, and find that
the citizens as a rule are taking more
interest in complying with the order
and regulation of the board Of health,
and if they will continue in the same
way we hope before a great while to
he able to have our town in Il first
class sanitary condition.
I herewith submit the birth and
death report for the month of Sep
tember, 1880:

No material change in the produce

fruits are rather less in demand,
especially in the Nashville market.
Eggs are very quiet with no actual
change in price, though the markets
South are well supplied, with a
tendency to lower prices. There is a
large increase in the production for
the last few weeks, is the cause of
falling off in price and demand.

He DOcs II Another Way.

The governor gets his million dollars
from the banks, as loan without inter.
est, the banks being satisfied with the
belief that the Legislature will make an
appropriation to refund the money.
This is substantially the proposition
made by the two-hundred citizens, the
only difference being that the banks
take the place of the citizens ;
and the money In the treasury
Is deposited i'm the banks instead
of with the citizens. The banks
will get the money from the treasurer,
and give the state credit for II. The
deposit will remain in their hands
until the Legislature meets. Meanwhile
the governor will draw out an equal
sum, and when the legislature makes
the appropriation the two accounts, one
to the governors debit and the other to
the states credit, will balance each other I;
the states money will have been used TO
do the states work the constitution
will have been saved, or rather the ten
der consciences of people who had axes
to grind in saving the constitution, and
everything will I've lovely. We note
with pleasure the assurance of the banks
that they will not charge the governor
any interest on the states money.

SAID captain Cox. Every artillcryman
KNOWS that they learn the hugle calls and
the cNolutions quicker than the men, as a
rule. For ono thing, they soon acquire u

HOODS sARsAPARILLA.
IL COSTS LESS

On the question Of real economy Hoods Sar-
sapnrilia IL so far ahead Of other preparations
as to place them entirely out of the race as com
petitors Here are facts In regard to this popu-
ar medicine, easily susceptible OF conclusive
proof
l. Hoods Snrsaparilla Costs the Manufacturer
More than any other competing preparation,
because IL Is more highly concentrated and con
tains more real medical value,
2. IL costs the Jobber More, as n consequence
OF tho fact Just stated.
B. IL costs the Retail Druggist More. for the
9uiry. Hence the desire Of some retailers to sell
their own preparations. which cost them less,
and for which they get the same price, thus
making more money. But
4. II Costs the Consumer l. EasS than any other
medicine, because of Its greater concentrated
strength and the quantity in each bottle. and
because II is the only preparation OF which can
truly be said, 100 Doses one Dollar"
That the people appreciate This is shown by
the fact TINT Hoods Sarsapariila has the Iarg-
est sale OF any sarsaparlla or blood purifier. It
possesses peculiar merit and effects wonderful
