The Blessing OF Strong Nerves

Is recoverable, not by the use of min eral
sedatives, but by recourse to effect ual
tonic treatment. Opiates and the like
should only be used as suxiliaries, and
then as sparingly as possible. Vigorous
nerves are quiet ones. and the most di-
rect way to render them so is to reinforce
the vital energies. That sterling invig>

| The ARGUS has on numerous occasions
referred to the proposed erection of a
State Odd Fellows Home in one of the
| most desirable cities of the state and has
| called attention To the excellent opportu>
mites Rock Island has for securing the
institution by making little effort. The
directors will soon accept sealed offers
from towns and cities for the location of
the home. which bids will not be opened
until $40, 900 in cash is on hand, when
each contestant will be asked to be pres
ent at the opening of the offers with their
| little speeches. It is known that at least
four places are in the race, but the direc-
tors are as mum as oysters as to who they
are; yet it is known that Lincoln, Peoria
and Bloomington are in and making a
great fight for the prize. The directors
have not the slightest idea where the
home will be placed, as no one locality
will be favored, and all stand upon their
own merits and offers. Any sum
OF money donated by the locality selected
is to be placed in fund, The in>

the maintenance of the home. No officer

that every child shall have a thorough
practical education, trade. etc., and he
well fitted when leaving the home to bat.

are working hard to place the home on
sound. practical footing, and to make it
an excellent institution and all that the
word home implies, and are spurred for
ward in their labors by the evidence that

ings here, the Odd Fellows should make
an effort TO bring this equally deserving
institution here. 1t would encourage the
building of these other similar institu-
tons by like organizations. 1t would be
an ornament to the city. and would
bring to this city not less than S75, 600
The fraternity is especially strong and
vigorous here, and better place could
not be selected. Citizens generally and
the Improvement association would do
well to investigate this matter. and see
that some decisive steps are taken early.

The election board of Cresco is q
disgrace to the city. The returns

Of state, the returns gave SO votes
more than he received, making the

the ballots cast. Mr.. Sweeney lacked
an even 100 votes as returned to the
Supervisors OF the vote actually cast
for him.
In what we say of these officers, we
make no reflection on their motives
or honesty, but simply speak as to
their capacity to properly discharge
the duties devolving upon them as
public servants. 1t is proper to add
that every one of these officers is a
republican, but not representatives
Of the general intelligence of Cresco
republicans. This makes the shame
all the greater fo- that party that it
elects its most incompetent instead
Of its best men to Office. 1t is duty
that parties owe the public to shelye
their incompetent men, ambitious for
place, and elect those who can serve
the people who pay their salaries.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you
cough once in a while and keeps YOU
clearing your throat, aris-
es from catarrh, and AS catarrh is a
disease the ordinary
cough medicines all fail to hit the
spot. What you need is constitu-
tional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparil-
Ia. Many people who have taken
this medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia,
loss of appetite, and other troubles,
have been surprised that it should
cure this troublesome cough. But to
know the actual cause of the cough is
to solve the mystery. Many cases of
of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight at
lection as this. Consumption can be
controlled in its early stages, and the
effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in puri-
flying the blood. building up the gen
eral health, and expelling the scrofu-
lous faint which is the cause OF ca
farrh and consumption, has restored
to perfect health many persons on
whom this dreaded disease seemed to
have u firm hold.
