Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best remedy for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to n
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centers in
the stomach, gently stimulates TIE
liver and Kidneys, and aids these or
gans in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it rs
the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for 80 cents or
81 per bottle ut Hartz & Ullemeycr's
drug store.

SHOTS FROM THE HIGHWAY.
CowardIy and Murderous Attempt on Two
Scott County People.

CoyyardIy and Murderous Attempt on Two
Scott County People.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Schaeffer, of
Eldridge, were the victims of cow
ardly and murderous assault while
driving toward home on the Harrison
street road north of Davenport Thurs
/ day night Mr.. and Mrs. Schaeffer
were going to their home near FL
bridge after having spent the day at
I tending the Davenport fair. They
were driving slowing along the the
Harrison street road when they no.
|. ticed Il buggy short distance ahead
of them turning around. As the APP
pro&ching team drew closer the driver
/ of it insisted on passing to the left.
contrary to the usual custom. and in
so doing forced Schaeffer's buggy to
| the extreme side of the road. Only a
few seconds after this encounter and
before the couple had regained the
center of the road there was a flash
and roar, and for an instant both
Mr.. and Mrs. Schaeffer were stunned.
They then realized that someone lying
in wait on the roadside had shot them
with evil intent, and they painfully
felt the burning shot from the dis
charge which had struck them in the
head, neck and shoulders. The rear
curtain was down, which saved them
from more severe injury, and impeded
the SHOT to such an extent that
they only penetrated the skin. Mr..
Schaeffer received nine shot in his
scalp and neck. while Mrs. Schaeffer
was more seriously in ured, having
been struck by so. The shot were
small and about the size generally
used in hunting quail. The buggy
curtain and top were riddled. Mr..
and Mrs. Schaeffer, being badly fright
ened, FASTENED on toward Eldridge.
Mr.. Schaeffer came in yesterday and
related his story to the police. He
could give no reason why such an at
tempt was made and claims that he
has no known enemy in the world.
His theory is that some one was lying
in wait for other parties and mistook
his team for theirs, and on account of
the darkness was unable to see the
occupants of the vehicle.

IT seems there will always be some
uniformed people who will invest in
foreign building associations and for
their returns get some rich experience
A moments thought should convince
any one that enormous returns such
as promised by the agents of foreign
associations can not be paid without
doing in justice to some one. Our local
associations pay good rate of inter-
est and as much as it is safe to expect.
When every one learns this there will
be fewer people lose their money on
enterprises conducted at enormous ex-
pense in distant cities.

hour after it reached the White House. Just which resolution will go through Congress it is impossi- ble to forecast, and what will be the Presidents action under the cir eums tances cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. But the difference is not material so far as results are concerned. The pas sage of either resolution will un- doubtedly lead to war with Spain. War is now inevitable and actual hostiIities is a question of only a week or more. And we venture the oEinion that it will be settled be- tween the United States and Spain alone. We do not believe there will be any interference on the part oi the European Powers. There can be no doubt of the ultimate end, for the United States have never waged an unsuccessful war, but how m uch blood and treasure it will cost or how long it will last only the god of battles knows.

The case of the State vs. H. l.. Gibson, charged with grand larceny, came up for hearing in Niven's court this morning. It will be remember ed that Gibson was caught in the act of taking a watch from man in Portis' saloon week or more ago. On the trial it appeared that Gibson and friend were in the saloon and the other man was drinking. As the two were friends Gibson took the watch from him to take care of it. On this testimony Judge Niyen dis missed the case.

A Declaration of War.

The Senate last evening passed
 the Foraker resolution recognizing the Independence of the Republic of Cuba and declaring war nagainst Spain. The House passed a F solu- ton last Wednesday authorizing the President to intervene with the army and navy of the United States for the purpose of putting a stop to the war ir Cuba. The difference be. tween the Senate resolution and the House resolution is that the Senate resolution recognizes the independ- ence of the present government of the revolutionists in Cuba, while the House resolution does not. The matter will now be referred to con ference committee composed of the two branches of Congress. The House resolution no doubt repre- sents the idea of the administration,
 for President Mckinley is known to be opposed to the recognition of Cuban independence. Ii was an- nouneed from Washington during the early part of last week that the President would veto the resolution if it provided for the recognition of the present government in Cuba,
 but Fridays dispatches stated that the President had told member of the Senate Foreign Affairs commit
 tee that he would sign any resolu- tion passed by Congress within an
