The Bridges Are Closed.

The, last car pissed over Rock Island
bridge st 1 O'Clock today. the gates be.
ing closed promptly at that hour. The j.
W. Spencer practically gave up the ghos,
last night and stopped running. the Ice get-
ting 80 thick that it took several hours for
her to finally get landed at Davenport.
This leaves the Two cities with no trans
portation facilities except the Rock Isl,
and road. but bridge trains were started
at 1: 30 O'Clock this afterL DON and will be
continued until the bridges are again
open for travel. The trains begin run
ming at $50 q. m. and will make hourly
trips. leaving here on the half hours and
Davenport on the even hours. The las,
train for Davenport leaves at $50 p. m
and the last one for Rock Island at $50
p. N.
This morning It took the ferry FIVE
hours to cross through the rapidly &C.
cumulating floating ice from Rock Island
TO Davenport. and in the middle Of the
stream the boat became fast in the ice,
but finally pulled out and reached the
Iowa side. This afternoon the Spencer
is attempting to break her way through
the ice back to Rock Island, but the
prospects are that tonight will send heI
to winter quarters.

Rev. Father Desmond. lately assigned
by Bishop Spaldiug to assistant at st
Joseph's church in this city, has received
notification of his transfer to Monmouth.
Rev. Father Flanagan, of that city, COM
ing here in his place. Whether the
changes that are now taking place have
any significance in connection with The
psstorate OF st Joseph's church here, il
not definitely known although it is said
by some that they have. Since Bishop
spalding, OF Peoria. goes to St. Louis as
coadJutor OF that di cese, q new bishop
will IN all probability be selected
from among the priests of the diocese
On previous occasion Of similar char.
scter the name of Rev. Father MacKin.
OF this city, was prominently mentioned
among number Of others as q successor
to Bishop Spalding, and belief is again
expressed by some that the assignment of
Father Flanagan to this city means his

parish ard the elevation Of Father
Msckin to bishop. Whether or not there
Is any foundation for the rumor Ia no,

"7Aere's something behind It,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. 10 its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases. yield,
no matter how bad or Of how long
standing. It has a record that
goes back for 25 years: 1t doesn't t
permanently cares. With a Rem
edy like this, the pr~oprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's SO very small. that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer? True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.
