THE DRAW PIER.

The Cornerstone Laid Yesterday At
tern00n.. OF the Work.
The cornerstone of the new draw pier
at Rock Island bridge was laid yesterday
afternoon. By means of a derrick the
immense stone, guided by three brawpy
mssons. was lowered into its place. in the
presence of Col. j. NJ. Whittemore and
Engineer Charles Francis; the click of the
camera near by announced that the pho
tographer's art had perpetuated the
event, and all was over. The laying of
the stone marks an important point in the
progress of the work-the beginning of
the end. Unless something entirely I'M
expected happens. the mason work can
now be pushed steadily forward until the
pier is completed. Interruptions from
high water. from damage from passing
boats, and other causes. have caused de>
lay, but there is little likelihood of any
further trouble from these sources. Sew
eral days time. about hundred barrels
of cement and large amount of rock
have been consumed within the past week
in overcoming an unforeseen obstacle.
The pier is being placed upon the solid
rock bottom of the rlver, and when the
mud was cleared off last week pocket
was uncovered which has necessitated a
fill eight feet in depth and of equal
width. and sixty feet long. Now the
pocket is filled. and everything is pro-
crossing smoothly.

Rough on Moline.

In his pulpit at the First Baptist church
at Moline Sunday night, Rev. Gilman
Parker said: 81 have been informed that
there was more drunkenness and rowdy-
ism in Moline last night than ever before
in its historyl" He prayed earnestly that
the footsteps OF some of the young peo-
pie of Moline might be turned from the
broad to the narrow path. MIR. Parker
was seen by Republican represent alive
today and stated that he had been in
formed that the report came from one of
Moline's city officials that more drunken
ness and rowdYism existed on Saturday
night in this city. than had ever occurred
before in lis history. He said that young
men and women were seen on the streets
drunk. at o'clock on Sunday morning,
after having been out all night To this
the Republican adds: However appalling
this may be it is fact nevertheless, for
there is no doubt but that the report is
true, which is deplorable to degree, and
should be warning to mothers to keep
their daughters off the streets at night -
at least unless they know that they are in
respectable company"

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only enc way to cure deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dltiOn Of mucous lining of the Eustsch-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammstion can be taken out aud this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by cstarrh,
which is nothing but An infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness-caused by catarrh
that we cannot cure by taking Halls

While Jupiter had four.

What fourfold bliss stwouid be
To stroll beneath that fourfold moon
On Jupiter with ma
And when he spoke Of SatuEu's ring
Twas convinced he'd say
That was the very kind Of thing
To offer me some day.
But in a tangent OFF he went
To double stars Now that
Was most suggestive, SO content
And quite absorbed sat.
But no; he talked dreary mess,
OF which the only fraction
That caught my fancy, confess,
Was mutual attraction"

And stupid altogether,
For stars to keep so very near,
And yet not come together.

He merely bowed good night and said

pravcr Before Execution.

The son of well known musician in
this city chose an odd occasion to show
his piety the other day.
The young man is about two and a
half years old, and of late he has been
demonstrating his nimbleness by
climbing up the trellis Of a grape ar
Dor i'm the paternal garden. Afraid of
some ugly accident his father warned
his son and heir that the next time he
caught him clambering about that ar
Dor he should spank him. Hardly had
he uttered the warning and turned his
back when the acrobatic youth was
half way up the Arbor. As soon as his
father caught sight of him the child
realizing his fate cried, Come and
spank Eddie, and the cxecutioner
seized his victim and took him to the
scaffold, Or in palmer words the parlor.
There, as the unromantic preliminaries
of the execution were in progress, the
little hero exclaimed, LET me say my
prayers firstr'
"Who could carry out q sentence OF
any sort upon a young martyr with
such spirit as thisT'-Pittsburg Dis
patch.
