NOTES HERE AND THERE.

The Peoria mail now arrives at 1870
A. NJ. and departs at 2:3O.
People persist in calling Coal Valley
a Democratic town. As at present
bounded it never was Democratic town.
The T. $. Grand Jury, at Des Moines,
has indicted VIM. Boehme, Of this city, for
drawing a revolver on the guard at the
Rock Island bridge some time ago.
Many people in this region remember
the performing bear that was here last
summer The Italians wife was killed by
the bear. See our Geographic columns.
The sudden death of Martin Weber
in this city, this morning, is noticed in an.
other place in this paper. He was about
to leave for Europe to be absent until an.
other summer.
1t is now believed that the defalcation
of the treasurer of jackson county, Iowa,
will amount to over $4,000 and that the
county will lose the whole sum on account
OF intormality in the bond Ct the treasurer.
MIR. Little, who shot himself, in Pre-,
emptiou, was alive to-day. On Monday,
not long after he committed the rash act,
he was conscious and conversed some,
Yesterday he fell into an unconscious state
and SO remains, and his friends have no
hope of recovery.
The U. S. Grand Jury, a. Chicago.
has indicted Thos. p. Sargent, of this city,
TOR robblng the mails-an account of the
robbery was published in THE ARGUS at
the time 1t is probable that in spite of the
efforts that have been made in his behalf
by his friends, the young man will have to
serve term in the peniteutiary.

The above comprises all the returns
received at this office up to the hour for
The ARGUS to 60 to press,
Guyers majority for Judge will be about
500.
Cook is elected clerk by about the same
majority
Surgeons majority for shool commissio-
ner will be about 1000.
For Treasurer, reported majorities from
all the townships, except Drury, elect Por-
ter by SO majority in the county. 1t is
rumored that Porter has 50 majority in
Drury. If this is true, his majority in the
county will be from 90 10 100 We think
there is no doubt of Porters election.
Tally one for the Farmers
The question of township organization,
we reckon, may now be regarded as set
tied. and it is not likely that another effort
will be made TO disturb it.
The Anti Monopoly party has shown
that it is power, and with the wearing
away of unfounded prejudices, more per
feet and harmonious work, it will redeem
the county and stand with the Anti Mo
nopoly party Of Iowa, Wisconsin, Califor-
MA Oregon, New York, Ohio, and the
hosts vet to marshal under the banner of
free trade and anti monopoly.

OFF for Kansas.

Yesterday VIM. A. Marshall, of Canoe
Greek, shipped his stock and other effects
for Kansas, where he has, as we stated
last week, bought land for a stock farm.
He called at our sanctum to say good by,
and TO be sure that THE ARGUS will follow
him in his new home We are sorry to
lose him from the county. His was a pat
riotic Maryland family. His grandfather was
aLieutenant in Washington army, in the
Revolution, and a member of the Society
Of the Cincinnati. His father was an off
Ger in the war of 1872, and one brother was
a soldier in the late war, and lost his life
in the service. Father and brother are
buried in Canoe Greek. and suitable monu-
ments erected by William. We wish him
success in his new home.

Republicans Spotted ;"


Election morning, the Union said
A few Republicans. whose names are
known, will secretly work against Judge
Guyer and the Republican ticket to-day. -"
And the tools of the ring went tearing
around town, threatening that these men
should be spotted" And in order to
spot everybody in the county who did
not carry a straight party ring Republican
ballot, they had some tickets printed on
paper that the dark lines would show as
well on the wrong as the right side. Their
chalangers, watchers, spies, aud those of
the judges of election who were on their
side could then spot every Republican
in this city who didn't carry that mark
ed ticket, gotten up on purpose that the
ring masters could exercise an espionage
over free men. Republican legislation in
this State, by requiring every ballot
to be numbered, has placed it in the
power Of ring having control of the
tickets after election to ascertain exactly
how every man voted. And we are told
that after every election certain parties
meet regularly on Sundays in some of the
county offices and examine the tickets from
all the towns and make lists, for their own
private use, showing how every man in the
county voted. And now, after having en-
acted laws which will enable any court house
ring, of any party, to do this, thus destroy
ing the secrecy Of the ballot, they take an
other step at intimidation, in this county,
and print their tickets so that their spies
can spot free men at the polls and init
midate them from exercising their own
free will. The freemau's privilege, to
vote as he pleases ,unquestioned and with.
out intimidition, is thus destroyed.
2. S.-Since the above was in type we
have received copy of the Republican
ticket used in Andalusia, which is in differ
ent type and on different paper from the
one used in Rock Island--it is in the same
style of the Farmers ticket, and is proba-
bly, the kind the ring sent to the country
towns generally. The ticket used by Guy
er in Rock Island was evidently gotten up
by him that he might know whether his
purchased tools were true, and that he
might ''spot" Republicans who wished to
vote the Farmers ticket.

DR.. filler OF PHILADELPHIA.-Am Among
the old and representative families of Phil
adelphia stands that of Dr.J.P. Filter. All
that wealth and social position could do has
contributed to the success of DR.. Filter,
who is, We believe, the only regular physi-
clan in this country who has devoted life
time to the study and practice for the de
velopment ola specific for rheumatism and
neuralgia. So successful has he become
that to multiply words in commentator Of
DIR. Filters Vegetable Syrup would be SUI,
perfuous. Dr. Filter is one of those pol
ished and educated gentlemen of the old
school Of etiquette who carries all his iden-
tity into his business and charms all whom
he favors with his personal acquaintance.
His offices are models of luxury and con-
venienee. He has devoted his talent and
great wealth to the relief of suffering hu-
mainly as testimonials from thousands will
prove, and he may justly be called success.

The election in Chicago has astonished
the oldest inhabitant All the papers, or
nearly all supported Bond for Mayor, and
he is defeated By some 1000 majority.
People generally suppose that the contest
was as to whether there should be some
relaxation Of the stringent Sunday law. To
some extent this was the case-though
each faction passed liberal resolutions on
that subject, at their nominating c0nven-
tons. We quote the respective attitudes
maintained by the two parties on the
questions of temperance and the Sunday
law:
From the Peoples blessing 'Hara) platform.
RssOtU-d, That we believe that on Sunday all
business and amusements should be restricted a.
in measure to interfere with or disturb the dsvO-
ton or worship of any class Of citizens and do
firmly deny the right OF any or any class Of ID
diyiiual- to prescribe how or in what manner Sun
day or any day shall be enjoyed by free people in
free Republic.
ffss0tDsQ That we are in favor Of the passage Of
an ordinance prohibiting the issuing of licenses TO
persons of bad repute Tor any purpose or purposes
whatever.
From the Citizens Union Mayor Bond) platform
hssDtred, That 1t Is an unwi=e and oppressive ex-
ercse Of power prevent any class of citizens from
enjoying harmless recreation and social intercourse
aud II being the result Of investigation that the
Use OF wine and beer Is not productive OF crime or
disOrderly conduct We recommend an amendment
Of the sunday ordinance permitting the sale of
wine or beer.
From this it will be seen that both plat.
forms were right enough on this question -
but the candidates on the Citizens Union
ticket were regarded as not so liberal ON
this question as the Colvin, or O'Hara-
Hesing ticket.
There was another question which also
exerted great influence, and that was as
to who should control the public funds.
But the result of the Chicago election is
satisfactory to every liberalminded man
and will be rejoiced over as a liberal victo.
ry. Had Bond and his ticket been elected
it would have been regarded as more ia
vorable to the Administration Republican
party than the one now elected Chicago
has given rousing majority against the
illiberal and corrupt policy of the present
Grant Republican rings.
