ceeds With Plans for Starting
It's Season Next Saturday.

A telegram was received last night
at the United States engineers OF
fee here. to the effect that the rail
road bridge at Keithsburg would not
be completed till April A. This means
that all river trafic above and below
that point viii be tied up unless the
government compels the owners of the
bridge to open the draw to navigs
ton.
Captain Walter Blair OF the Carni-
val City Packet company is somewhat
anxious because of this state OF az

urday II the bridge Is not to be open
ed before April 4, his entire schedule
VIII be thrown OF and the boats will
probably be delayed starting another
week. However, he has not yet chang
ed his schedule, and still plans on
starting the Keokuk south Saturday
and the Black Hawk Monday.
Must Have Passed Through.
A few weeks ago the burlington
Lumber company notified the local en-
gineers' ONCE that 1t expected to send
a boat north and that It would pass
the Keithsburg bridge March Ia. Moth
ing further was heard from the cor-
pany, and It was thought that the boat
had had no difficulty In passing
through the draw. The Iowa Central
railroad, which owns the bridge, start
ed work upon the structure last fall
as soon as river traffic was closed for
the season, and there is no reason why
the bridge should not be completed
by now, the engineers say.

BREAK ANTLERS OFF STAG
Reward of $50 offered for Author of
Outrage at Long View.

The latest outrage reported by
Park Commissioner C. F. Gaetjer is
the breaking of the antlers from the
$500 iron stag in Long View park. 1t
will be necessary to send the broken
parts to New York to have them re-
paired. 1t is difficult to conceive Of
any motive for such a contemplate
act. The antlers are of iron and are
strong enough to bear the weight of
an average man. So it is plain mat
extraordinary efforts were necessary
to break them of. The park board
will pay $50 reward for the arrest
and conviction Of the authors of the
outrage. The stag was purchased
for Long View park at a cost of $500,
the money being raised by popular
subscription.

Some pretty good men have filled
the office of assessor in Rock Island,
but none has given such universal
satisfaction as John c. Aud. whom
the democrats have presented as a
candidate for reelection in April. MT.
Aud is thoroughly posted on proper
ty values, and his aim, since assum-
ing the duties of the Office year ago.
has been to be fair to all. The best
evidence OF his having succeeded is
that his friends are predicting that
he will be returned as assessor by an
increased vote over that he received
a year ago. The new term, under a
recently enacted law, will be for two
years.
Mr.. Aud, or Jack" as he is best
known to his intimates, was born in
Blue Island. III. At 10 he entered
the service of the Rock Island road
as brakeman. After three years in
that capacity he was advanced to
freight conductor. In 1877 he left
the employ of the Rock Island road
to go with the Rock Island & Peoria.
He was assigned to a run as brake
man between this city and Peoria,
but was soon promoted to be freight
conductor, and later to passenger
conductor. He ran a passenger be-
tween the two cities continuously 1 !
years. Six years ago, incapacitated
by rheumatism, he was obliged to
give up railroad work.

a number who are not old timers will
recall several recent seasons when
the grass was as green April as it

is to enjoy as much of the sunshine

water will kill the uncovered insects,

satisfactory in all cases, as the sub

rains, besides the paris green is apt to

them is to mound earth about the base

a sure preventive, as some of the larva

Pruritus-Itchine of the Skin.
This nervous affection of the Skin
occurs without any visible cause fer it.
That is, there are no blotches, except
in rare cases; no open places or sores
as in skin diseases which would be rea-
son enough for the irritation.
The skin is apparently innocent look
ing enough, but the tormenting sensa-
tons of itching, tingling, creeping and
burning are unbearable. and these, too,
like neuralgia, skip over the body.
Paroxysms usually occur on retiring.
The limbs are favorite parts for at

The peach tree borer Is probably
one of the most troublesome and de-
structive insects attacking peach trees.
They cause damage to the trees by
eating their way into the wood near
the base of the tree, sometimes higher
up, causing exudations of gum which
weakens the vitality of the tree, and
finally causes general decay of the body
of the tree to set in, which in turn re-
suits in early death of the tree.
Eggs of the peach tree borer are
laid by moth which appears in cen
trail ATTITUDES early in May. The eggs
are deposited under the bark of the tree
near the ground, and these eggs hatch
out into white grubs which are very
active and Immediately begin to bur
row into the bark of the tree till they
reach the sap wood where the burrow
further, eat, and grow during the rest
of the summer and we'll into the fall.
The presence of the grubs, or borers
may be noted by exudations of gum
and castings near the base of the tree,
with engagements and raughness OF
the bark at the point of attack. These
grubs, or larvae, remain dormant dur
ing the winter, resume eating and their
growth the following spring, and then
pass into the pupa state by midsummer
developing into adult moths for more

The Skin-ItS Treatment

A number of letters have come to me
from correspondents who are suffering
from nervous affections Of the skin,
principally neuralgia of the skin and
maddening itch known To the medical
profession as Pruritus. These dis0rd-
ers seem To be SO common that for the
benefit of others in a similar physical
condition l want 10 offer few sug-
gestions regarding their cause and
treatment
Correspondents who have written to
me on this subject viii kindly accept
the advice given herein as an answer
to their letters in place of a personal
reply
In neuralgia, the sufferer experiences
sensations of pricking and burning, a
species of scorching of the skin and by
slow or rapid shooting pains. These
are sometimes severe and of brief dur
alton. again comparatively mild, but
almost inceSSant-
In some cases the skin becomes so
sensitive that even the gentlest touch
is painful, and the weight of a single
thickness of muslin is excruciating. AT
sueb times. if the sufferer has the cour-
age to do what is best, she will rub
the affected part, giving hard pressure
occasionally. Massage is excellent, and
where the afflicted parts extend over
the body if is best TO have & profession
al In many cases it is felt only on the
hands and arms. on limbs, but jumps
about like the proverbial frog.
With the majority of people this ner-
vous affection of the skin appears with
out warning, stays but a short time and
disappears Instead of pricking, burn
ing pains, the afflicted parts may be
cold and numb. Symptoms vary in
individuals.
The origin Of the trouble should i'm
mediateiy be sought and corrected. Al
lowed t0 progress, it becomes all the
more stubborn and may result ia moro
serious disorders OF the skin.
Many cases of neuralgia of the skin

OF the millions of loaves of bread
eaten daily in London few know that
very large proportion of it is made
by Germans. In the metropolis the
German baker is ubiquitous - he
flaunts his name over the palatial
shops in the west end and he is equal
! ly in evidence in the slums of the east
end. He has captured London, and he
is extending his operations. His net
is spread wide-from footing to Hol,o-
way, from Fulham to Stepney from
Edware-road to CrickleWood- short,
north, south, east and west the Ger
man baker proclaims his presence.
Walk through the streets of London,
and one will soon be convinced that
the bread trade is very largely in the
hands of foreigners.
Some of these bakers are no doubt
English-born, and some may have be-
come naturalized; but the solid fact
remains that a large proportion of the
makers of our daily bread in London
are Germans.
