LOCAL COLUMN.
DR. SCHENCK'S STANDARD
REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are Schesck's Pulmonic Syrup, bcHENfK s
Sek Weed Tonic, and Schenck s Manpkakk Pill,b
and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure Is effcted.
To these three medicines Dr. J. II. Schenk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled sucess iu the
treatment of pulmonary disease.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matters
in the lung's; nature throws it off by easy expect
oration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
light cou'-h will throw it ft, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this
Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Man
drake Pills act on the liver, removi'iir all obstruc
tions, relax the jiall bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon recieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes wi:n me loou ana prevents souring, it as
sists the digestion by toiiiutr u; the stomach to
healthy condition, so that the food and the Ptil
monic Syrup will make good blood : then the luii"rB
heal, aud the patient will surely get well if care i
taken to prevent iresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenk, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal omc
corner of Sixth and arch Ma., Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenk's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

He is Detected in Stealing- Letters in the
Chicago Post Office.
Chicago, March 22. For some time
complaint has been made that business
letters addressed to Chicago merchants
have been missine and the supposition has
been that a steal has been going on in the
postofficc department. The responsibility
however, has not been placed until to-day
when Frederick J- Gross, the distributing
clerk, who has been suspected recently and
auietly watched, was discovered furtively
slipping letters under a newspaper and
thence toan inside pocket, lie was imnie
diattly called to an interview with Special
Treasury Agent Stuart and coufesscd to
the theft, placing the amount of stealings
at $500. Government officers, however,
suspect that the sum is much larger. His
transactions have been confined to business
letters.

to his pitiful tale with reluctance, knowing
the dispositiou and habits of the animal,
hut when Weise became confidential and
insisted upon shakiug hands after being
refused several times and ordered to leave
the room, in the mind of the court patience
had had its pe-fect work and he was taken
by the coat collar and precipitately ejected.
He is one ot the class ot persons who
think they are privileged to make nuisan
ces ot themselves, and the public must
tolerate them as necessary evils. , lie will
be shown little leniency if he gets into
the hands of the law again, which he is
very liable to do soon. Office Olson has a
jealous eye upon him.
JSiBarney McGavern, last night, whip
in a state or intoxication, walked upon trie
railroad track at Madison street just as the
ht. Louis tram No. 4, was passing cast.
I'he engine struck him in the right side
throwing him off the track when he struck
on the stones and mud. making some bad
wounds about his head and face. lie was
taken into Christ Reese's saloon and Dr.
Plummer. who was on the train, washed
and dressed his wounds, and as b.3 (the
doctor) could not remain here advised iMc
G raven's triends to call some resident
physician. Later Dr. McKinnie was
called and examined his wounds, pro
nouncing them not of a fatal nature. Mc
Gavern. however, was so full of whisky
last night that it was impossible to tell to
what extent he was injured, but this morn
ing, Dr. McKinnie says the injury on his
side, where the engire struck him. will
doubtbss result in pleurisy, and is of a
serious nature. He is suffering intense
pain to day and thinks he is going to die.
Every thing is being done for him that
medical skill can devis". Later bince
the above was in type, Dr. Plummer, of
Rock Island, was up to se the injured
man, and he thinks, though he is pretty
severely injured, that he will recover.
The Abbott Concert.
ODe of the largest and most
fashionable audiences ever as
sembled in Molinc, greeted the
Kmma Abbott company, at the Congre
gational church last evening- Ti e event
was one that had been looked torward to
by the muMC-loving citizens of Moline
and vicinity with anxious expectancy, aud
udging from the rapturous applause be
stowed, it was thoroughly enjoyed by
those present. I he troupe had
engaged rooms at the Harper
House and were to be conveyed
from thence in carriages. The train,
however, was one hour late, necessitating
their stopping off at Moline. They
proceeded to the Reese House where Mr.
Reese provided a lunch. It was then time
for their appearance, and so, rather than
keep the audience waiting, a hasty toilet
was prepared and the company went
directly to the church. A notice of the
concert will be found iu another column of
this paper. The company, after the
performance, owing to the lateness of the
hour,coucluded to stay at the Reese House
last night and to-day went to
the Harper House, Rock Island,
where they remain until to-morrow
evening. The members of the Boat Club,
and especially the committee having the
matter in charge. are entitled to thanks for
their untiring efforts to make the affair a
success, and are deserving and should
receive the support of our citizens for
having secured for Moline the best
entertainment ever given in th6 city.
