Spring is a tr"ing season. Indiciftions of sick
ness should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated and the system to remain In a disor
dered condition, rnti! the disorder has time to de
ve!oo iiself. An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying.
Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the
complaints now very prevalent -headache, indiges
tion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know of no r.-medy so harm
less and decisiveiuitsacti.nl. It at once strikes
i at the root of the disease and produces a healthy
tone to the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from a 'disordered condition of
the liver if they would take this excellant medicine
when they fee! the fl'st indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes of these pills with
them. They have an almost lnstancous effect.
They will relicv the patient of headache in one or
t hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of
surrounding bile, and will effectually pievent a
bilious attack. They are sold by all Druggist.

War Department, May 8. The pro
ceedings in this case having been forwarded
to the secretary of war, have been most
carefully considered and have been sub
mitted to the president, who approves the
hi'drig and sentence, but is pleased to mit
igate the latter to suspension Irou rank
and piy for two years irom the ISth of
May, 1ST". Maj. Reno's conduct toward
the wile of an absent officer and in u:ing
the whole force of his power as command
ing officer of a poft to gratify his resent
ment against her cannot be too strongly
condemned; but after long deliberation
upon all the circumstances of the case, as
show i in the iccord of the trial, it is
thought that his grave offences, grave as
they are, do not warrant a sentence of dis
missal and all its consequences upon one
who has for twenty years borne the repu
tation of a brave man and an honorable
officer aod has maintained that reputation
upon the battle fields of rebellion and in
contests with the Indians. The president
has therefore modified the sentence, and it
is hoped that Maj. Reno will appreciate
:the clemency thus shown him, as well as
Ithe very reprehensible character of the
acts of which he was found guilty.

a
f
thing we losik fur is some mao to present
his bill to the city for woman pounding,
as there are a tew esses ol it in town
One, a German, living on the river bank,
is known to be an expert in this manly
exercise. He thumps his wile uruunJ
for amussmeut and tells her he will short
her if she tells any one of it. He wants
to know if man has no tights that woman
is bound to respect.
JSSIfNo one can tell who will be the next
marshal, although many are on the anxious
seat, and the question is asked by every
other man you meet One thing is certain,
now that the salary has been raised, none
but a hrst class man will be appointed it
such can be found. Sixty-five dollars per
month is good wages these times and
should secure a good man. nuh as the re
sponsibilities of the position require, and
it is enough to keep him without any other
income, so that he could let collecting and
other business which belongs to the cun
stables' duties, alone, and attend strictly
and faithfully to the welfare of the city.
Such men are to be bad, and if not for $G5
let him have $ '5 and do not take any man
without proper qualifications, even though
he offer to work for nothing.
The Board of Education.
The board of education held a meeting
last evening, the proceedings of which
were secret. This morning a representa
tive of The Argcs called on the secretary
of the board for the minutes but was
refused; nor could anything be elicited
concerning the action of the board last
evening It is time that these self
important petty officials were taught that
they are accountable to the people for their
action in public matters and that the meet
ings of the board of education are free to
the citizens of Moline at any time. The
secretary of the board should bo made to
understand that "Star Chamber" sessions
are not legal and that all dirty work which
th members of the board hope to secrete
from the public will be obtained. The
Argus is not easily bluffed and the intel-

rom military bondage that they were con
tent to plant and prepare for the rebuilding lectual secretary of the board, who assumes
of the fortunes wasted by the past 15 dictatorial powers not eranted him bv leeal
years strue. ine iaea, nowever, wtncti
was being so widely spread by llepubhcans
that members of the Democratic party m
the south were going over to the Uepubli
cans because one man in the party had at
this late hour made a showing ot justice
towards them was utter nonsense. The
south, he said, will stand by the Detuj
cratic party and members will all go intg
Democratic caucus without hesitation and
in full force. The idea that Hayes's policy
woula draw, from the Democratic ranks
was a false one, but would rather strength
en the party by causing a split m the
Itf publican 1 action.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
lie thought the postponement of the ex
tra session a good thing for Pemocrats and
for the country, as there were plenty of
banks that would advance money' to run
the army, which army might, he thought,
ba dispensed with, had we a wise Indian
policy tuch as that of Canada.
THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Regarding the speakership Mr. Cox
refused to talk except to say that the
reports industriously circulated to the
effect that Mr. Randall had already a
majority of the caucus were without the
slightest foundation. He could, he said,
make as good a showing for the position as
any one named, but there is as yet nothing
definite for any one. The members were
not going to repeat the blunders of other
days and were not going to Washinnton
pledged to Randall or any one else. Pel
ton, be said, was already io the field wri
ting letters in Ratdill s interest despite
the fact that his (Randall's) ratings had
lost the presidency for Tilden. As to
what this meant he would not venture an
expression, but of its results he had noth
ing to fear except the party generally.
THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. .
. Mr. Cox hinted broadly at an early re-
right, will learn that he does not possess
unlimited control of the people. The course
of the board last evening e hows a deter
mination to act independently of the wishes
of the citizens and the conduct of the sec
retary in refusing to give the proceedings
to the public savors strongly of a desire to
avoid publication of business not strictly
in accordance with the desires of a patient
community,
