DR. SCHENCK'S STANDARD
REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lnngs are Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sohenck's
Seb Weed Tonic, aud Schenck s Mandhake Pili.,8
and if taken beforo the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effctcd.
To these three medicines Dr. J. II. Schenk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled eueesa in the
treatment of pulmonary disease.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matters
in the lungs ; nature throws It off by easy expect
oration, for when the phlegm or nialtir is ripe t
plight cough will throw it " ff, the patient has rest
md the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic fyrup to do this.
Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely nsed to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Man
drake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstruc
tions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver 18 soon recieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
aud alterative: the alkali of which it is composed
mixes wi:h ihe food und prevents sourinir. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
uealtuy condition, so mat the rood aud the 1'u I
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lnngs
heal, and the patient will surely get well if cans is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenk, either per
sonslly or by letter, can do so at his principal office
corner of Sixth and arch Sts., Philadelphia, every

London, March 24. -The thirtv-fourth
University boat race was rowed this morn
ing at an early hour and the course was
the usual, on the Thames from Putney to
iiiortiaKe, auanco lour miles and two tur-
lorjgs.
Of the Cambridge eight, six Darticirjated
in last year's contest, while of the Oxford
crew four were ancient mariners, but the
coxswain was a novice of the Thames.
London, March 24.-9:45 a. m The
U myersity boat race was first announced
as a victory for Oxford bv less than half a
length, and the extras of this afternoon's
papers also announced that Oxl'ord won,
but the Western Associated Press repre
seutahve has a telegram saying the race
resulted in dead heat.

Uani bridge drew ud and were even terms
halt way between the Head and bimmons
yard. Off this yard Cambridge got a lead
of about four feet which positions were
maintained at London Boat House. At
this period in the lace Cambridge rowed in
better form. At Chaven cottage, six fur
longs from the starting point, the boats
were about on a level. Oxford now forged
ahead, and when ahout a mile had been
rowed, led by about one third of a length.
At Crab Tree Oxford led by only a lew
feet. At the Distillery, somewhat over a
mile and four furlongs from the starting
point, Cambridge ouce more showed in
front tome two or three feet. At Oil
Mills, two miles and slightly over a furlong
from the starters' boat, Oxford drew up
alongside. At the bottom of Chiswich
niijt Oxford was again in Iront, being
better together than Cambridge, who
seemed much troubled, as the water at
Chiswich Church, three miles, had been
rowed over and Oxford had increased their
advantage to two-thirds of a length, and
the race was appareutly no longer in doubt.
Rounding the bend into Horse Shoe Reach
the water became smoother and Cambridge
gained upon Oxford, but the latter drew

Bathing Place. Nine furlongs from the
winning point Cambridge made another
effort, but only reduced Oxford's lead to
two thirds of a "length and went past the
judge's level amid a scene of the wildest
excitemcut, time 24 minutes 10 seconds.

Miss Cornwall possesses a peculiar faculty
for handling childreu, not only in preserv
ing order fiud attention but iu gaining the
respect and love of the little ones, whom
she moulds as she chooses without the use
of the proverbial birch. A map of Moline
was very acurateiy drawn from memory
upon the black board by a child 8 years
old, who could name every street and tell
very nearly who occupied every house.
The names of Lucy Wheelock, Mary Ede
and Samuel Montgomery were printed in
larg3 capitals upon the board, underneath
which was written, "luOin deportment and
scholarship." It was surprising to see
the order which was preserved at recess
in going from the various rooms to the play
ground. Each room filed two abreast
first to their wardrobes, then, preserving
the lino, marched io order to the yard.
B-A fair audience greeted Prof.
Richards last eveniug at the Congregational
church, and jt is safe to say that not one
went home disappointed or displeased.

highly appreciated were the beating of a

Saturday, March 24. -It has been
learned that Geo. Mordaunt, the Daven
port forgar, now in jail over the river for
forging the name of his employers, U. N.
Roberts & C ., is an old hand at the
business; that he had to leave England on
account ot his forgeries; that he came to
Joliet, but had to leave there for the same
reason; that he then returned to England,
but was recognized and was again obliged
to leave the country; that he then came to
Davenport, where he again committed
forgery and was arrested. It is said here
that he has sent a man to his father in
England to procure enough money to set
tle with U. N. Roberts & Co., and that it
he pays up before the next term of court
he will not be prosecuted. It is said that
his right name is George Mordaunt Boen

Perverting tiie Public Schools to TJn-
Z.awfu.1 Uses.
School officers should remember that the
public schools, supported by taxation upon
ail the people, are established for no other
purpose than to teach the common
branches of an English education, aud that
no political or sectarian use can lawfully
be made of them. Years ago the
Republicans interrupted our school exer
cises one hay for a political purpose. The
Argus exposed it, and it has never been
attempted siDee,
This winter Mr. McKown, a member of
the school board, used the schools for a
sectarian purpose, and if bi3 act has been
disavowed by the board of education we
have not heard of it. Unless it is disavowed
the people will probably want to know why.
The bible is used in our public schools,
and the board of education seems to lack
the independence to assert the principle
that the schools shall not be used for any
purpose not clearly authorized by law.

school teachers commenced the use of
Moody and Sankey hymns but the board
of education promptly asserted the principle
that the schools should not be used for
sectarian or reugtous purposes. inc
Davenport Democrat says:
Ihe statement made iu this morning s
Gazette that the Moody song book had not
been used in the schools is an untruth. It
has been used, aud that repeatedly and
persistently.
And a correspondent of the Democrat
says:
In the opinioD of a large majority of the
tax payers of Davenport, our public schools
are cot maintained for the purpose of incul
cating theology, much less that taught by
such mercenaries as Moody and Sankey,
If any songs ore necessary in our public
schools, let the children be taught the
natriotic hymns of our ountry. If
religious songs must bd sung, give
parties and sects a change, lorn

on Wednesday give the Catholics a chance;
