From all portions of the land come the words, '-times are better." Mechanics, farmers, laborers, all feel encouraged. There is employment for thousands where thousands could get nothing to do even a year ago. Entcrjirising business men are hailing the day, and are prepared to greet it to fall in, and to go forwa rd ith the new era. In no branch of trade arc the signs of the times more manifest than in the iron and hardware business. The nianu-factnreres of staple hardware goods and of iron, hare been oppressed by the hard times beyond calculation the prices have been lower, their losses greater, their prospects darker than other lines ot business.

And to see the hardware trade rising to a boom is cheering indeed. Step into the oldest hardware house in the city as well as one of the largest in the conntrv that of Sickles. Preston for instance, and rou will soon learn what I the trade thinks of the times. That stalwart house is a safe counsellor in these matters it has been through two or three depressing periods, knows what they are, and knows what rising out of them is. The establishment gives numerous evidences of the new ti mes in reception of new goods, coming in the in the great transfer wagons, in the life the wholesale department from which packages for the near and far interior are being carried constantly.

It is one of the largest jobbing houses in its line in the west four stories, 40 by 150 feet, and each floor a department and alive. It is the agency for the best brands of pocket and table cutlery, for the best paints (Love for the best white lead (Shipraan and Southern.) for 'Whiting's brushes, for the St. Louis granite ware, for Moller Schumann's varnishes, for Dit ton's files and other famous specialties. It deals largely in the most approved farming tools, sells tinners stock without end. is a great house for rubber and leather belting, has tons of twines, rope and cordage, and is the greatest nail house in the State.

Then another department which is big that of small arms and breech and muzzle loading shot guns. It probably does a larger trade in barbed wire fence than any other house in the region, while it sells thousands of its barbs and its pincers for putting them on. This is what the house of Sickels Preston is doing now in iU jobbing department in rising with the advance wave ofprosperi-ty's boom. It's a good place to meet merchants from all portions of the interior and hear their views of crops and the times. It is a good place to see men buy to-day and, make money on their purchases through the advance to-morrow, for prices of all iron and brass goods are on the ascending scale.

So much for the jobbing department. The retail department is complete in its grand display of goods of all kinds and makes in large variety, and their trade there has doubled in six months. Tell you, the year of jubilee is almost here, when the hardware and iron trade gets in this condition once more. FLED FROS YELLOW JACK. There came a refugee from Memphis this morning no less a person than Robert K.

Martin, formerly the popular observer in the signal service here. He was sent to Memphis a couple of months since, stuck to his post through the vellow fever, with people dying all about him, until the government told him to go away to his family in let his assistant, who had had the fever, do the work. Mr. 3Iartin says that to try to give a person an idea of the condition of Memphis and the people who remain there, would le in vain. The ravages of fever are worse than reported, because it is impossible to enforce the ordinance requiring the reporting of case, even among the present reduced population, lie had an experience with the railroad quarantine and disinfecting business near Louisville.

Persons enter the cars, close the windows and doors, and evaporize carbolic acid in the coaches making nearly every passenger sick, and causing ladies to" Then alter the fumigation there is a sprinkling of people with diluted acid, and then the train moves slowly for the city. About everybody that can get out ot Memphis has left the city. Headache, whether arising- from indigestion or nervousness, thoroughly unfits anyone for attention to bueiaess or any other active efjort. Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills always cure this distressing disorder, giving prompt relief after the first dose.

THIS WEEK OXLV. Prof. Samuels, the optician, at the Xew-comb House, is meeting with great success fitting his glasses to people who are suffering from weak eyes. Owing to his engagement elsewhere, he will remain in the city the balance of this week only; and all those wishing his assistance should call on th Prof, at once. Office hours 9 A.1L- UZtf.

M. DECEIVED AND SAD. A Prisoner's Escape How he Played It on a Xew York tVepnty A amp from a Traia A Lons Journey in Vain. With this morning's train from the west, there came one of the saddest officers of the law that ever arrived here. He was a victim of misplaced confidence and he didn't want to talk about it either.

He was a tall, grey -bearded, grey -haired man, well built, determined-looking and strong, and mad. His name was wasdeputy sheriff of Monroe county, X. Y. In Brock-port, a clerk named Charles Larkins stole about five hundred dollars from his employer, a merehanr, and, leing a young man, "went west." The merchant was one who hated to be beaten would rather spend another $500 than have the ab sconded clerk have a tfood time, unmo lested, with his money. So he sent Deputy Sheriff an exerieneed officer, after young Larkins, after it bad leen learned that he had been seen in Omaha.

Meadows procured a lequisition from the Governor of New York, arrived at Omaha Sunday, and captured his man near that city j-esterday. Larkins gave him no trouble said he needn't take the time to get a requisition Ironi the Governor of Nebraska, for he would come right along. So they took the next R. I. P.

train for the east, the young man wearing nanucuns. In tue night Larkins told Meadows his story. He said he did't steal the money that his employer's daughter gave it to him to go to Nebraska with, and that as soon as he found employment she intended to join him for marriage and settle down. But as the thing had turned out as it had, he had just as lieve go back as not, for then his betrothed would corroborate his whole story, it would all be hushed up, and may be the marriage would take place with the old man's consent, rijjht away. Deputy Meadows believed Larkins' story for he knew that the girl liked Larkins and east of Des Moines took off the handcuffs.

The two rode together nicely enough till Kellogg was reached, and by that time the Deputy was asleep. Near Kellogg is "Boyle's Cut," where the grade is being re dueed by a steam shovel, and the trains run very slow through it. Larkins watched Meadows snore for a few minutes, and when the train slowed in the cut, he rose softly, walked back to the water cooler, took a drink, looked back at 3Ieadows, opened the door, and jumped the train! Meadows slept on till he came to Brooklyn, 26 miles east of the cut, when he awoke and discovered that he was alone. A brakeman told him about Larkiu's es cape, and how easy it was for the youth to make his way north to Minnesota from where he jumped. Meadows came on to Davenport, telegraphed to Kellogg and Grinnell.

and went on east with the train. He had secured $110 of the stolen money, and thought that as he had made expenses he had better go home. He was a sorrow ful citizen, though. He told the conductor that the Rochester pojice would pester him to death he would hare to leave the eity to live in peace. iO HEAtt THE IDIA.

T. Sunrise Dana, the Indian Mission ary, who gave such a satisfactory lecture at temperance hall Sunday afternoon, and again at the Fourteenth Street M. E. Church Sunday evening, will, by special request, lecture again to-morrow evening at the hall of the Total Abstinence Society. Admission free.

Mr. Dana, after his two lectures, needs no introduction to our readers. Those who wish to know what civilization will do for our Indian population should not fail to go to temperance hall to-morrow evening and listen to this really able orator. LE CLAIRE. Coal Harvesting LiqnorHait- KuITalo Bill-Excursion.

Special Correspondence. LeClaibe. Aug. 9, '1 At last accounts there were in existence no less than four coal com2anies in Le-Claire, and each week finds an addition to the already good number. Still there are many people who do not take any stock in the rumors of "five foot" veins.

One tiling is sure: Either several of the companies have struck it pretty big or else LeClairecan boast of some liars that aie hard to beat. But there is no doubt at all about the matter. At least three of the companies have found coal, and that in quantities and of a quality to warrant the sinking of shafts. In a few months at the farthest there will be one or more coal banks in full operation in Le-Claire. The foundry, of which so much was expected and so little realized, has not been in operation for sonie time, and there is no telling when it will start up.

The owner is said to be prospecting for coal down the river. Farmers hereabouts arenot over jubilant over the prospects over the wheat yield. As the threshing time comes on the fears are not lessened to any great extent. Some pieces of grain give a very fair yield, but the average is not at all good. Spring wheat is especially poor.

Most of stacking is done or will be during the present week. Threshing has already; begun. The liquor suit, spoken of in your daily some days ago, has not been decided. The jury failed to agree, and the case will be tried again probably some day this week. In the meantime wagons from your city make weekly trips here and dispose of lots of bottled beer.

If uch things can be it looksfvery much as though prohibition does not The last saloon in our town closed its doors some days ago but if outsiders can come here and beer with impunity, the City Council will likely give licenses to saloon-keepers here. Much depends upon the fate of JBaker. the man who is now on trial. I see in Saturday's Democrat that your local makes a mistake when in speaking of Buffalo Bill; he says, "he was bom in Davenport." Hon. Laurel Summers was well acquainted with Cody's parents, and the spot where the renowned William was born is few miles northeast of this place.

It's all right to make sport of our enterprises and smile at our cool prospects, but please don't try to capture our illustrious men. Mr. Summers wrote an article for a local paper some months ago, and in it he established LeClaire's claim to the hunter without any doubt. The steamer, Last Chance, will probably take a party of our mirth loving citizens to your city to-morrow evening, returning after the close of the minstrels. Nomad.

Tde "Baby's Best Friend" is the most appropriate title for Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. It is absolutely free from opium, morphia and other powerful agents, is perfectly safe and reliable under all circumstances, and by allaying the usual stomach and bowel disorders of babyhood, keeps the child from fretting and crying, so injurious to itself and annoying to all. 25 cents. ja-p closed in the meantime? queried the merchant i "Well, no, I believe not what's the use of closing it, unless you want to bring them into the city to oen licensed cigar That was a staggerer for the merchant, and he didn't pursue the con versation.

The finest parade ever made by a minstrel troupe in the city, came off at noon to day. The Megatherians marched through the principal streets, attracting side walk crowds such as those that gather to see a big circus procession. There was the Zouave drum corps, in their gay uniform, in ad vance, then the brass band of 16 pieces, then the 1 6 song and dance men, and then Hooley and Emerson. They made music, you may believe. To-night they perform at the Burtis opera house the best minstrel show extant.

We might printcolumns of praise awarded them in Chicago during their en gagement of five weeks just closed in that city, but it is unnecessary now. We have noticed their several specialties and their singing. Their concluding erformance, the improved panorama of the Mississippi, is immenselv rich. For an evening of pleasure go to the opera house to-night. A telegram came this morning announcing the death yesterday of Mrs.

Mary Woodruff, of Quincy, "ill, daughter of the late John Dalzell, and sister of James M. and William Dalzell, of this city. Dr. and Cant well and wife, niece of the deceased, left for Quincy this morning to attend the funeral. At Cape May on the 2Gth ult.

died James Dalzell, of Pittsburg, an uncle of Mrs. Woodruff. He had gone to the seashore for his health. He was the last of his family, there having been five brothers who had accomplished their three-score-and-ten years and more. His relatives in this city hear of his death with feelings of deep sorrow.

Beneficiary organizations on the mutual plan are popular just now. We have the United Workmen, the Legion of Honor, the Brotherhood of Iowa, and the 3Iasonic and Odd Fellows insurance associations and now comes a Division of the "Western Sick Benefit Association," which was or ganized at the Burtis House last evening, with Major J. Andrews President G. W. Davis, Vice; President; C.

F. Brandt, Secretary D. L. French, Medical Examiner, and S. S.

Farwell, W. F. Fidlar, J. A. Atkinson, R.

McDaniel and John B. Schmidt, Executive Committee. A member can receive from $3 to $20 a week in case of sickness, according to the class he belongs to and the amount be is willing to be assessed. B. F.

Shaw is President of the State Division, and he has appointed C. C. F. Brandt deputy for this district. The steamer Josie, on her way from St.

Paul to Davenport and St. Louis, had her shaft broken at the Cordova landing, twenty-four miles north of this city yesterday and tied up of course. A telegram was sent to Dubuque for a new shaft, and the Josie will have to keep quiet three or four days. The General Barnard, from St. Paul, arrived last night with the commis sioners appointed to examine the improve ments of the navigation of the upper Mississippi.

They will report to the War department. The packet Minneapolis went South this morning, having received 400 sacks of oats, 75 barrels of onions, and several tons of merchandise here To-morrow's steamers will be the Clinton for St. Louis at 7 a. and the Alex Mitchell for St. Louis at noon.

These good people do not much like to climb the golden stair through the port of death, the natural way, but want the wave of immortality to strike them with irresistible force, while all they have to do is to have faith and wait. The Davenporters seem to have learned that waves of prosperity are manufactured articles, and they are going to pay $100,000 for a single wave, which will ripple out into many smaller wavelets, and coming into contact with other business enterprises, will not fail to get up a commotion on the Davenport business surface. PERSOXAL. Judge Drury, of Chicago, arrived this morning. Mr.

Frank Hastings lett for Chicago and the lakes to-day, on a pleasure trip. Mr. Adolph Priester, teller of the Citizens National Bank, left for Avoca and a holiday week, this morning. City Attorney Gabbert and W. S.

Judge and Mrs. Dillon left for Marquette, this morning, for a couple of weeks' enjoyment in the Lake Superior region. Their daughters are there, and their son Hiram and wife will join them Thursday.

Mr. Fred. Melchert, the grain merchant, who has been traveling in the interior with his family, arrived home this morning, leaving his wife and children at Clear Lake. He says that that in Blackhawk county and that whole region of Iowa, there are ten bushels of wheat where there was one last year, and everybody is happy. XOTICE.

The aversion to the taste and smell of this most efficient and inestimable of laxative and cathartic medicines seems to be universal, not only with children, but with grown-up people. The chemists who could overcome these nauseous properties will ever be looked upon as a public benefactor. This has been fully accomplished by Scott Bowne in their Palatable Castor Oil.
