STRONG TESTIMONY.

Moline Citizens Ten OF Prof. Martins
Still Moline citizens testify for
Prof. Martin. who is at the Hotel
Downs in Davenport. The Moline
Dispatch says: "He cannot be
praised too highly. 1t is surprising to
see how D. D. d. takes all those pim-
pies, old sores, worst forms of skin
disease or eczema and makes . per-
manent cure. and to think that il
has been used here only 50 days on
people who have had eczema all their
life and completely covered all over.
Now they are we'll; and another
thing D. D D stops that itching
and burning at once. followed by q
speedy cure inside Of so, days. d.
D d. company says stop taking
blood medicines, for eczema is no
blood disease; it is skin disease and
must be drawn from the skin. You
are wasting your money In taking
medicine or using salves or soaps.
D. D. d. is fluid which draws the
disease from the skin, leaving the
skin clear and free from all disease.
Remember this is a cure for one
thing only. and that is skin diseases
or eczema, and beware of frauds.
This d. d. D. is not sold by agents.
peddlers, drug stores. nor on the
streets. It can be gotten only from
the main Office. There is q rewa.
of $500 offered for any case that can
not be cured. and this reward has
been standing tor six years. and
never has there been found a case Of
skin disease or eczema that D. D. D..
could not cure. After 20 years
studying ON skin diseases this dis.
covery was made. and is known
to one person only. Thousands OF
photographs and testimonials can be
shown at this Office of the wors,
forms Of skin disease, that have been
cured by D. D. D. Also . great
many cures have been made here
but only few people are willing to
have their names put in the papers
but G. T. Wilson. 2427 Sixth avenue

MAP OF THE HENNEPiN.

An Idea Of the Route the Canal VIII
The new profile map Of the Hsnne-
pin canal. which pictures It Just -
it will be when completed. shows
that the total length Of the canal.
from the Illinois to the Mississippi.
a. foally located, 10 IS miles, and
that Of the feeder 20 miles. The
canal rises from the Illinois BY means
OF 81 locks, mounting upward in
that distance 199 feet. The summit
level is about IL miles long. At its
western end. about midway between
Mineral and Annavan, two or three
miles north of the line Of the Rock
leland road. the drop to the Missis-
sippi commences. This occL pies the
remaining IS miles of the canals
length, makes use Of IS locks. and
acsomplishes . descent Of 80 feet.
The canal 10 LOG feet lower at Henne-
pin than it is at its mouth and has
to climb the hill 1879 feet high, and
down 80 feet on this side, to get here.
The feeder takes water ct the upper
end Of Sterling. on the Rock river.
In its 20 miles 1t falls 2 s feet, Just
enough to give sufficient dowage to
supply the canal with the water it
needs to make up for its evaporation
aud lock waste. The feeder 80 feet
on the water line and z feet deep,
like the rest of the canal, and It's
current is so slow that it is easily
navigable. It is the best part of the
canal, for it affords. summit level
and all, almost 40 miles Of canal
without lockags. Lock 20. at which
the canal leaves Rock river and starts
across the country for Hennepin. is
Is miles from the Mississippi. It is
this part of the canal that has been
used the past year for bringing coal
to Rock Island and Davenport. 1t is
this part of the canal that will
always be the most useful to this
section.

When the hearing of the second
master In chancery Injunction case
came up before Judge Bigelow al
Cambridge this morning, the court
announced his indisposition to hear
the proceedings or to consider the
pending case owing to the state OF
his health. He thereupon entered
an order Diminishing both as to him,
and the Woodmen attorneys there
upon Immediately gave notice to the
attorneys for the obstructionists
that they would call both cases up
before Judge Gest at Cam bridge
next Tuesday. It will be necessary

10 hoped to dispose of both together.
and thus put an end to the vexatious

General Attorney j. G. johnson

son, Head Clerk c. w. Halves, and
Director j. w. White were present
from the order. Editor Van Calder,
of the Woodman, also accompanying

Andrews was not we'll, and on
the strength of this, the enjoiners
sought to delay the hearing
regardless of the condition Of
the court. delay being their
great stock in trade, the weakness
Of the Fulton side being no more
clearly demonstrated than in their
own lack OF confidence in the merit
OF their first Injunction, as shown in
the speedy application for the second
before the first was disposed of. The
end and aim of the Whiteside con-
tlngent is to play with the law as
long as 1t will consent to be played

BRIDGE FOOLS a FARMER.
0ranger's Interesting Experienc,
with Van Euren Street Raannle

0rangeF's Intervening Experience
with Van Huren street Bascule.
d. NJ. Whitman, farmer, of Yelling
ton, ILL.,. had read much of the ways and
tricks Of Chicago's sharpers, and when
he has been in the city has always kept
q wary eye out for them. But the other
day he tripped up in more senses than
one, and this was the way oft.
Walking toward the Union depot the
man went across the Van Buren, street
bridge, which is not as other bridges
are. but opens on the bascule or jack
knife principle. Mr.. Whitman had
reached the center Of the structure,
when he felt 1t tremble beneath him.
Tho bridge slowly rose to an almost
vertical position, and Farmer Whitman
Sid to the bottom Of the structure,
landing in sitting posture on the hard,
cement of Van Buren, street.
While he was sliding down the incline
he was making up his mind how to
meet the robbers that he felt sure were
waiting somewhere near the bottom.
Had ne not read of those wonderful
trapdoors in the dives of New York
and Of the chutes by which the victim
was gently sent into the midst of
gang Of desperadoes? Whitman called
"Police, police" in his terror of the en-
gine Of robbery that he supposed the
bridge to be.
Officer o'Donnell, of the Desplaines
street station, came to his rescue, and
at first Whitman thought the bluecoat
q part OF the robber gang. He had'read
that usually after the bunko has been
worked an imitation policeman APP
pears. O'Donnell treasured him, and
the farmer was much pleased to find
that the jackknife bridge was great
and beneficent municipal improvement.
