TIE CoMuAr DrErESs.-The nice little
contest between Capt. Reid and Mr.. Thomas
for the Republican nomination for the
Treasurership, is becoming highly interest.

of the rival parties are following in rapid

to see it stated that Capt. Reid should be
nominated because he was q soldier, just as
though the radicals cared any more for the
claims of soldier than for those of any
one else. And the frightened little Rim,
like poor boy at frolc, has not word to
say, and while it has already made up its
mind which side it will secretly support, it
dares not talk out in meetin' v for the
world. O for the shades Of the immortal
"Buzzard !"

CONSIDERED A SuccEss.-The Old Sstt.
lers' Pic Mic, on the Island, on the lst, is
universally regarded as having been sue
cess. Cen Sanders, of the Davenport
Journal didn't go over in time to partici'
pate, and hangs his harp on willow tree
in the following fashion
The Rock Island papers are enthusiastic
over the Old Settlers Festival. They have
a right to be. The Rock Island Old Settlers
managed the affair this yea, and they made
a success of it We, the senior, did not get
over till after dinner, and missed the fun.
If alive and conducting a daily paper next
year, we will miss the issue of number
rather than fail in attendance at the Old
Settlers Festival on the Island. We feel
ashamed that in this instance we violated
our old time motto of pleasure before Bus
mess" We shall never do it again on an
occasion in which our Old Settler friends
are involved.

PATENT RIGHT SwlNDLEs.--People in the
country should be on the lookout orpa,ent
right swinders, who it seems are infestng
these parts at present We have already
mentioned the case of Mr.. VIM. Parker, of
Port Byron, who was defrauded Of not
amounting to $500, few days ago. Anoth.
err case comes to our knowledge, from Buffa.
10 Prairie township, although the sum in
volved is fortunately not so large. A fellow
claiming to be F. j. Miller, agent for Male
& Sloan, of Decatur, His, called on Mr.. Da
vid Andrews of Buffalo Prairie, few DAYS
ago, and disposed of the right for a patent
wagon seat, receiving note for $50 for the
same. Mr.. Andrews advertises in this issue
that he will not pay the note, as he learns
that Miller had no authority to act for the
firm which he claimed to be agent of, and
is nothing more than an outrageous swindler.
Mr. Martin Seamans, of Burlington, who is
the owner of the right for the state of Iowa,
in a published card, denounces Miller as an
unmitigated scoundrel who barely escaped
going to penitentiary from Burlington, at
one time. The public should be on the
lookout for him.
