Here are some of the symptoms !:
Headache, obstruction of nose, dis

times profuse, watery, and acrid,
at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid, and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath smell
and taste impaired, and general de-
bility. But only few of these

The cure for it-for Catarrh it.

THE HARPER In PERIL.
Threatened With Destruction
Shortly After Midnight.
Timely Discovery of the Fire in its
lDeIpieney-Heavy Loss to Stef-
fen's Dry Goods Building
at Davenport.

What would undoubtedly have oeen
calamity in mora ways than one was nar-
rOwly averted al the Harper between mid
night and l O'Clock this morning through
the timely action of Night Clerk Brough
and Charles Stockhouse, guest, who
detecting the smell of burning wood, fol-
lowed it to the dining hall where they
were surprised to find flames shooting out
OF the cupboard which forms the base
for the great mirror at the north
end of the hall. These gentlemen took
in the situation N an instant and realiz>
ing The necessity of prompt work, they
seized pitchers and rushing to hydrant,
quickly filled them and dashed the water
on the fire. The blaze was taken in the
nick of time AND in minute had vanish
ed, notwithstanding that the furniture
had been badly charred and there was
discovery was ms de. However, the prompt
and efficient work of the young men &C.
cOmplished all that was necessary, and
while Clerk Brough kept an eye on the
cupboard the re nsinder of the night, the
guests of the house knew nothing of
their peril, and some of them don't know
! it yet. The cupboard was used for keep
ing the silver and other tableware, and
there were also several boxes of matches
on one of the paper covered shelves, but
how they became ignited is not fully
known.
! The August Ste fen business block, at
the corner OF Harrison and Second streets
| in Davenport, narrowly escaped destruc-
I ton by fire about o'clock this morning.
The fire broke cut in the third story, and
while it gave promise of spreading rap
! idly, the firemen we're enabled to beat It
back and conhne it to the portion of the
! building where { started. The origin of
the fire is entirely unknown. On account
of the heavy wind that had been blowing
it is possible that the mischief may hay e
been caused by al electric light wire. If
the flames had gotten beyond the control
of the fremen i. is impossible to tell the
extent of damage that might have been
done, as the wind was blowing strongly
up the street. and would have carried the
fire throuc the entire block.
Developments today have disclosed the
fact that the origin was probably en-
lirely iuscendiary. and the loss to stock.
&c, is much Greater than at first sup
posed, probably $40 GOO.

Got the Contract.

Atkinson s.: Olof, of this city, have
been awarded the contract to pave the
entire length of Main street in Dubuque
with brick. 1t will cost 81 60 per square
yard or $57, 343 for the entire job. The
Telegraph, commenting on the letting of
the work, says:
Among the contractors from abroad in
the city last evening the opinion was
unanimous that the city made an excel
lent contract yesterday with Atkinson &
Lloff, of Rock Island. They are makers
of building brick and contractors and
were represented here by William Nevins,
an experienced contractor. All who bid
on the work cal his contract close one
and one of them said he would not take
it off his hands for $1,000. Others said
that only experienced men could do the
work at the figure given, 81 SO square
yard.
SMain street Is 40 feet between curbs
and the street railway company will have
to pay for 16 feet of paving, leaving 10
feet on each side to be paid for by the
abutter. At 81 SO per square yard this
ould amount to So 265 per front foot
which the abutter will have to pay for
brick. He will also have to pay 10 cents
a running foot from resetting old curb or
in all So 365 running foot This is GER
talnly cheap enough and should the
b lex prove satisfactory no abutter, we
dare say, will object to the expense.
The contractors will use the burlington
brick made at G alesburg, Ill. This is the
largest paving brick works in the country.
The council will employ q man to in
spect the brick to be used in this work,
The selection OF an experienced. COM
petent, honest and sober man is a matter
of the greatest importance. On the sue
cess or failure Of this work will depend
the future policy of the city concerning
street paving.

WILD WINDS.

AheS OGme win Great F6roctty ana
do More or Less Damage In Rock

Yesterday was altogether one of the days
you read about. Only few light showers
occurred during the forenoon, but after
dinner the wind began to rise steadily
and brought with it great driving sheets
of rain. The winds were from the south
west and Travelled at the rate of AZ miles
an hour. The heaviest fall of rain oc-
CURED about 1 o'clock and fairly flooded
the streets. and for time it was almost
impossible for pedestrians to move along
the deserted thoroughfsres. After the
wind storm was over the sun came out
and the wind increased to a gale and
reached its greatest velocity at about
o'clock. 1t blew with undated fury dur
ing the evening, and about 730 o'clock
squsll struck the city that made things
look as if Rock Island was at last to be
visited by one of those western cyclone
terrors. Furious gusts of wind chased one
another up and down the street and
played tag with awnings and swinging
sign boards. The bill boards about
town were nearly all blown down, and
storm doors and gates in different parts
of the city were given day off A por-
ton OF the tin roof Of DR.. Kinyon's barn
on Third avenue was blown of. and other
small damage done about the city, but
nothing serious.
One of the most remarkable freaks of
the wind was its tearing of about so feet
of the iron railing around the balcony on
the front of the Rock Island house which
fell to the walk below with terrible
crash. Several people had narrow es-
cspes from being caught under the falls
ing iron, the most remarkable being those
of Mrs. George Bennett, who had just
passed beneath it, and United States Ex~
press Agent Winter, who just stepped up
into the doorway when the crash came.
The wind lose again spout II o'clock
p. m. and for an hour or mere made
things lively again about the streets; it
| gradually Gained down then, and today
the streets are dusty and the roads almost
as dry as they would be with two days
| summer sun.

Theatrical.

Monday night the hstalked. about
County Fair" which has so far rivaled
The Old Homestead" in New York and
the east, and be presented here for the
first time at Harper's theatre. For many
years Neil Burgess believed he had for
senting q horse race on the stage. He
worked it for long time with one horse
with great success, but tits only q couple of
years ago that he managed to elaborate it
so as to suit any number OF horses. 1t is
now complete, and it has been a promi-
nent feature of The County Fair" in
which horse race is run with every aps
pearance of realism, even TO the changing
scene. 1t is not all of the play, however.
1.-The County Fair" is homely picture Of
life, full of fun and character. The CEN
trail part is Miss Abigail Prue, which Mr..
Burgess plays, and which will be taken
here by Marie Bates. capable actress.
The story is simple, pleasant and proba-
BILE. 1t furnishes a glimpse, and pro-
longed one, of rursllite. Miss Abigail Prue
is prim, prudish and practical, and it is her
home that serves as the scene of the story
Life there is tranquil aud happy. but is
withal just little clouded, owing to the
fact that the place is mortgaged to the
tune of nearly $4,000. and there is SEEM
ingly no prospect of raising that amount.
Cold Molasses, Miss Prue's 4>year old
colt, without her knowledge. is entered
for race at the county fair. wins the
race, the owner in consequence secures
s., 900, which is more than is need to
pay off the mortgage, and all hands are
made happy. There are numerous char
acters woven into this plot. and the
charm of rural life is said to be as well
reproduced as in Denman Thompson's
play. The company is good one, and
the piece will be completely mounted.
The machinery for the race scene itself
is costly and elaborate, although the aus
dience will see nothing of its workings.
The Henrietta the cleverest work OF
that brilliant author, Bronson HOwardI
will be presented at the Burtis opera
house Davenport on April :. While we
might add that in sense of duty there is
one that should not be overlooked and
that is the cleverest of comedians. Stuart
Robson, the ideal of all and satisf1er of
all lovers of humor. MIR. Robson will
be ably supported by an excellent com
pany Of players. The tour this present
season with The Henrietta has SUR
passed that of all others. George S.
Woodward playing the opposite part to
Mr.. Robson (O.d Nick Van Alystyne) has
received but the most favorable encom-
iums from the press of the country.
