The Body of P. P. Bliss Found.
Cleveland, April 29, On Friday last
a party of sportsmen from this city, while
gunning along the lake shore at Euclid
Valley, ten miles east of here, fouud the
dead body of a man on the beach. The
body was considerably burned on the back,
one leg was broken and the other leg had
a large flesh wound. The head was per
fect and covered with black hair and full
black whiskers. There was no clothing on
the body but a pair of boots. The persous
present had no idea whose body it might
be, and as it had already commenced de
composing they dug a grave near by and
buried it. After burial a description of
the body was told at the railroad station
and it was at once recognized as that of P,

r. lsiiss, ot unicago, who was lost on
Friday night.Decamber 29th, at Ashtabula,
in the great railrcad accident. The theory
is that the body was frozen to a cake of
ice and carried up the lake to the point
where it was found. Euclid is 50 miles
from Ashtabula. The body will in all
probability be taken up to-morrow and

DR. SCHENCK'S STANDARD
REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
longs are Scuenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck'
See Weed Tonic, and Schf.nck s Mandrake Pill,s
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 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 matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it tff, the patient has rtst
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, removing all obstruc
tions, relax the ea' i bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon recieved.
Scfcenck's-Sea Weed Tonic is a trentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali or w hich it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthv condition, so that the food and the Pul
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lans
deal, and tne patient will sureiy gei wen u car in
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenk, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office
rorner of Sixth and arch Sts., Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenk's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

Rock Island and J ay Gould.
The withdrawal of the suits begun by
II. Kennedy & Co., against the alleged
members ot the Kock Island pool had no
favorable effect upon the price of the stock
yesterday. It broke down 3 per cent,
only rallying slightly at the close.
A very determined effort is to be made
to dislodge Jay Gouid from the manage
ment, to save the property of the stock
holders. It is not believed that it will
prove successful, as he has resolved to
control the Northwestern roads in the
interest of the Uuion Pacific. His friend,
James II. Keeue, bid 88 Wednesday
night for 10,000 shares of Hock Island at
the Windsor Hotel, in vain attempt to
stem the tide against Gould's reputation.
If the bid had been filled it would have
resulted iu a loss to Keeue yesterday of

trL,Forinal possession was taken yester
day, by the members of the Swedish
Lutheran church, of their new and mag
nificent place of worship. The leave-taking
of the old build'iDg, and dedication of the
new, afforded an impressive scene, and one
that will long be remembered by the mem
bers of the society. The farewell services
in the old church were conducted by Rev,
Set erdahl and .President Haselquist, ol '
Augustana College, and the opening aer- j
mon in the new edifice was delivered by
L'rof. Olson. Then, as if moved by one
and the same impulse, the church com
muuicants, almost to a man, made their
way to the front and deposited their offer
ing upon a table, aud in a few moments
over $300, was contributed, enough to
fiuish off the basement with all the com
forts they had contemplated.
To the Kilitors of the Ar.us:
1 desire to make a statement through
the columns of The Argus relative to a
transaction by the finance comnaittee of the
Moline library board, which ought to be
ventilated, it is well Known in this com
inunity that, to the generosity of Hon. S,
V. WheelitL-k is due the present prosper
ous eon iition id the free library. Wheu
the binary was opened to the public, Mr.
Wheelock, in order to aid the institution
and thereby benefit the public, gaye the
use of the rooms for two years gratis. Af
ter that time the city was charged only
$"00' per year, which was very low,
and many contributions have been made
by Mr. W. in order to help the project
along. But the most generous act of all
was the munificent donation of the entire
building free, and unreserved, and
unsolicited, to the city cf Mo
line. Ihe press was loud in
praise of this worthy act of Mr. Whee
lock and, as a tribute of gratitude on the
part oi tne people ne was elected mayor
of the city without opposition at our recent
city election. One would suppose that
an act of this kind would not soon be
forgotten but not so with the finance com
mittee of the library board who, at its last
meeting, when a bill for one year's rent
$200 was presented to April 1st. 1877
were mean enough and bo uncourteous
and ungrateful as to deduct from the
amount of bill iyfive dollars and thirty
three centsl" or one-third of a month's
rent. Economy is good in its place and
its practice is always commendabls but
when, in order to exemplify the doctrine
it is necessary to sacrifice principle it
were better left out. Of course every
body knows that petty malice creeps into
the library board and this act may have
been the result of some such personal
rivalry, but be that as it may, the action
of J, M. Gouid and J. C. Starr, the
nuance committee, in tins matter, is con
temptible and unworthy of any one with
the least particle of manhood. If Hon.
S. W. Wheebck had been someone to
wards whom the board or its finance
committee had no reason to feel grateful,
the action of the committee could he ex
cused; but under the circumstances, and
in view of the munificent donation so re
cently and generously made, there is ab
solutely no excuse whatever. The com
mittee may plead motives ot economy or
a desire to ndhere rigidly to a supposed
duty but it wiil not meet the approval of
the people who when they learn the facts,
which until this writioz have been kept
from them, there must arise . a feeling
akin to disgust towards the men who,
under the cloak of economy, seek to
gratify a mean, contemptible spirit of
personal envy. Justice.

Albany, April 26. A number of the
leading Democrats, includiog officials, have
declined to attend the Cowdirj reception to
Mr. Evarts this evening, on the ground
that they are invited to a reception 10
honor of the secietary of state, not Mr.
Evarts. and they do not recognize that Mr,
Evarta is legally the secretary of state, he
having been appointed by a president who
obtained his position by fraud aod the
fraudulent action of returning boarda in

PERSEVERE
In the Use of this Remedy until Cured.
It ocntains the Grest Healing Ele
ments of Plants in their es
sential form as Obtained
by Distillation.
Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force, stands
next to Consumption, and is closelv allied to it;
for in certain constitutions the transitions from one
to the other is only a question of time. It is there
fore a singular thing that those afflicted wilh it
should not make it the object oj their lives to rid
wemseives oi it. a sitigie Dottle ot any remedy
cannot, in the chronic ftage, effect a cure, nor even
bring the system under its influence fully. In
many such cases the bones and cartilace of the
nose are eaten away, tne organs of nearing, of see
Ine, and of tasting, so affeced as to be rendered
useless, Ihe nvulva so nlongated ani inflamed aa to
Drodncea constant and distressing cough. The re
turn to health must necessarily be slow, under the
most lavoranie circumstances, wnenso seriously af
flicted ; but as tue evidence of its great value naily
comes to nana, we necome more ana more sattsned
that there does not exist a case of Catarrh that can
not be cured by a judicious and persistent use of
Sanpoiiu's Radical Citbe poh Catabhu The re
lief in every case obtained from the first dose is an
indication uf what it will do when the system is
brought constitutionally under its influence.
