Getting on 10 the Ropes.

A special composed of two palatial
coaches came in on the c., B. & q last

Henry B. Stone; E. P. Ripley, the retir.
ing general manager; j. ID. Bessler, gem
eral superintendent; L. Z. Johnson, sup
erntendent of the Chicago division, and
w. B. Throop. superintendent of the Rock
Island and St. Louis division. The Off
cials are making tour of inspection of
the Illinois and Iowa lines of the Bur-
lington in order that Vice President Har-
ris may know tie extent of the service
under his control before assuming his
responsible duties.
Mr.. Ripley stated that it was probably
his last visit to Rock Island as an official
of the Burlington road. The next time
he came it would be in the interests OF
| the c., M. j. St. 2. of which he is soon
to become the practical head. He will
take months vacation which he will
spend in Europe before entering actively

THE sCHMID DIVORCE CASE

More OF the Testimony ON the Part OF
the CompIainant...Thc Defendant
Takes the stand.
The divorce case of Caroline vs.. Car
Schmid, continues to occupy the atten,
ton of the circuit court.
Fred and Robt. Schmid were examined
late yesterday afternoon as to the treat
ment of their mother by their father. and
they detailed how their father came very
nearly killing the first named in the al
ley near their home by numerically beat
ing horse, which, in it's agonies. leaped
against barn, and striking the boy each
time it jumped. Despite the boys peril,
however, both witnesses swore that
Schmid continued beating the horse.
They further swore that when DR.. ]. NJ.
Barth. who was witness, demonstrated
with Schmid and told him he would kill
the boy il he did not cease, Schmid re-
piled that it would make no difference;
that DR.. Barth then told him he could be
arrested for his conduct, and Schmid
said that he had been here thirty>two
years. and it was the first time anyone
had interfered with him in his family.
and he would like to see himself arrested.
August Schmid was then called, and
detailed fully the particular acts of cru
ely testified to by his mother and the
other witnesses for her. and also gave a
full statement of his fathers assets and
liabilities.
Mr.. VIM. Jackson testified that at the
time of the throwing of Mrs. Schmid out
of doors. she came to him for advice and
he told her to return home. He also gave
evidence as to Schmid's ungovernsble
temper, and said as president of the HUI
name society he had notified Schmid that
his alleged acts of cruelty must cease.
This morning DIR. j. NJ. Barth testified
to the incident above related with refer,
ence to the treatment Of the horse in the
alley, and Schmid's reply to his admon-
ition that Schmid was endangering his
sons life.
John and George Schmid, other sons.
testified this morning. corroborstiDg the
other children as to acts of cruelty and
i'll treatment of their mother by their
father, especially as to the language used
by the latter. George swore that he was
lame and that his father had kicked him
several years ago for trivial offense and
still further injured him.
DR.. Thomas Gait testified to having
treated Mrs. Schmid for the injury which
she claims she received from her husband
in 1882, and that her health has been
poorly from that time.
The defense called great number of
witnesses to prove the good character of
Mr.. Schnid. among whom were George
Wagner. l. Huber. Frank Schroeder,
Stephen Hull and Gustav Stengel They
all stated that he was a man of excellent
character. but they knew nothing of his
home life. They stated. though, that he
was man of very quick temper.
MIR. Schmid was put upon the stand,
and confessed being q man of ungovern-
able temper, but he could not remember
of having struck his wife or injured her
that if he did strike her it was without
his knowledge of having done it; that the
whole trouble was due TO his wIfe's jeal>
ousy of him.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering,
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
viduxl. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed; hence it Is
that SO much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe their
restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of kidneys,
liver or stomach, oflong or short standing
you will surely find relief by use Of

lungs causing much pain in his chest and a vio-
lent cough. In fact he coughed night and day,
and in the night his cough was simply terrible.
waken with such smothered feeling he
could scarcely get his breath. He had
no appetite, and what little food he did eat he
would feel like vomiting up The gas that
formed in his stomach after eating gave him
great distress. He lost flesh, and his lungs be-
came SO weak he could not lie on either side.
Every change of weather would cause him to
take cold. Night sweats further weakened
him until at times he was unable TO do any
work 1t was while in this condition that he
began treatment with the physlcians OF the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute. He says;
my disease was of six or seven years, stand

At first noticed that my nose and throat
would clog up in the evening, and thought l
was taking cold. AS / treated with several
doctors, and got no better, became disgusted
with doctoring, for it seemed as IL I never
could be cured. Finally Irleno ADVISED me
to try the physicians Of the Catarrh and Dys-

wife had been cured by these doctors. This
