A PRIVATE Subtitle Madison Coar-
Ter tells this of revenue officer who
was sent into the illicit whisky distilling
district in Kentucky. He knew illicit
distilling was going on, but he could
get no basis to work from. Coming to
an Irishman who was tolerably drunk,
the officer tapped him on the shoulder
and said: "My man, do you want to
make ten dollars?" els it ten dollars?
said Pat, "sure and | do. "Then," said
the officer, "show me private STILL"
"I'll do the same; follow me, yer Honor"
The officer followed across lots and
fields to the camp Of company OF SOL
diers that had been sent there to aid
the revenue officers. The soldiers were
in line-dress parade. "Do you see
that red-hea4led mani" asked Pat, point
ing to one of the soldiers. Yes" re-
piled the officer. "He is" said Pat,
"my brother. He's been in the service
twelve years. He'll be corporal at
ter awhile, but he is a private still"
"Ten dollars gone, and no illicit whisky
found" moralized the officer as he
wendell his way back to his hotel.

sorry?" "Yes." "Well, why should |

The much-turned- out editor of the Re
publican newspaper concern in this city is
afraid Bailey Davenport will discover
some new source of revenue for the peO-
pie of the city He thinks the ordinance to
license insurance companies is illegal, and
says Jas NJ. Buford, Hayes & Cleave-
land, and NJ. 7. Wiser would be bled tn
the amount of about 81 ,000'-if the ordi-
nance is legal and shall be enforced OF
course all men of common perceptions
know that these firms would not have to
pay cent--the license money would come
from the Insurance Companies doing bust
ness here, and not from the pockets of the
men who act for the Companies, To the
Agents it would not make the difference of a
farthing. But it would enable the People ia
realize something out of the Companies
for doing business here-thats all. Is not
this right? Ought not Mayor Davenport
to secure this Revenue for the People if he
canP The Union seems to think the PEG
pie ought not to have the benefit oft.
Whether.the ordinance can be enforced
or not, we cannot say. If it can be W,
think it good thing and one which show
that Mayor Davenport Is working in tn,
interest of the People instead Of the Insur
ance Companies.
OF course the Agents of the Companie
doing business here will fight for the Com
panies they represent That's to be ex
pected. But that is no reason why on
newspapers should turn against the Peopl
and throw their influence in favor Of thes
foreign Companies We think the Insur
ance Companies ought to pay something t
the People for the privilege of doing busi
ness here, and we hope Mayor Davenpor
will find out some way to make them do SC
| If this ordinance is not legal one we hop
he will try again and get up one that wi
corner them, some way. And the Peopl
hope so, too-even if the Union don
want 1t done.

Office Subscribers.

Previous to the LIST of July the post
master was in the habit of delivering pa
pers to city subscribers without charge, the
law permitting him to do so if he chose.
Since the LIST of July, nothing is permitted
to pass through the post Office without
pay 1t is true the amount is small-30
cents quarter on dailies, and 5 cents a
quarter on weeklies but some subscribers
seem unwilling to pay even this trifing
sum. We have, therefore, fitted up boxes
in our business office for all subscribers
tfor daily or weekly who wish to take
their papers at our Office Their names
will be placed upon their papers and their
names upon their boxes, and the papers
placed in their boxes, where they can get
them when they call Allwho wish to get
their papers in this way will please give
notice to Mr.. Jones, in the business office.

The Alleged Abduction Case.

The Union, in its effort to expose guilty
parties, seems to have left chance for an
unfavorable inference against any and all
baggage men on the R., X. |. x St l.. X.
r., simply by not naming the guilty par
ty and thus relieving the innocent from
wrong imputations. Mr. Northup was
at that time "a baggage man on
the Rockford road" 1.-THE term used
by the UniOn) and, suffering from
the Uaion's manner of writing up the
case, asked the editor of that paper to pub
lish the card which now appears in THE
ARGUS over his name, but the editor Of
the Union declined to publish it saying
'Ae had rather see Chopper first. Exact
ly what Esq. Chopper has to do with edit
ing the Union, Northup couldn't
understand. and he therefore asked us to
publish his note-having no claims on US,
of course. because we had said nothing by
which he could, by any distortion of words
be implicated. But we give him chance
10 be heard.
We rather suspect, too, that this 'ab-
duction" is no abduction at all, and that the
girl was quite as willing to be abducted as
her admirers were to abduct her. Her
mother lif she is her mother didn't seem
TO take on very bad about it, and from
what has since been heard about her she
has been abducted good many tiaes and
wants to be abducted again.
The men who took the girl into the
Rockford depot and kept her there, what
ever they may have been guilty of towards
the girl, were guilty of great insult to the
President of the railroad in using the Com
pany's buildings or premises for any im-
proper purpose, and as soon as Mr.. Gable
learned of their conduct they were all imme.
ediately and very properly dismissed from
the service of the road.

fnaustyy Secures Prosperity.

In Buford's block, in this city,is young
business man who is bound to make ms
mark among the best business men IN
Rock Island. Jonas Bear come to Ameri-
On and TO Rock Island in 1866, with no
capital except good constitution an hon
est heart and plenty of energy and induS-
try. For few months, he shouldered
pack and walked over the country about
Rock Island, as pedlar, selling Sl,4oo
worth of goods in 5 months, making many
warm friends among the farmers. He
then worked as clerk, first in Davenport
then in Wilton, and then in Port Byron,
In the fall of 1867 Block Il Newburger
hired him to clerk in their store, In TINS
city, for one year. Mr. Block then became
sole proprietor, and he remained with MN
till his death, in September, 1869. John
NJ Wilson was County Judge, and MRS
Block administered on the estate. Their
confidence in Jonas induced them to EN-
ploy him to continue in the management
of the store. In January, 1870, with
capital only $500 saved from his scanty
earnings, he purchased halt interest III
the stock ON hand. Mr.. Sterne boughtthe
other half The firm was Sterne Il Bear
For two years they continued in business
when Bear bought out his partner. BY

enough to own the concern. From tina
time he has been sole proprietor. ii,

Tslegraphing Money Orders.

Probably very few people are aware
that money orders can be sent by tele-
graph. but the following incident will show
the advantages of so doing. A stranger
to all appearances a man of business and
considerable property-was in this city
with no funds except in the shape Of
drafts. He remained under expense two
or three days, vainly endeavoring to get
them cashed at the banks, and not finding
a single-one To identify him. Finally, get
ting desperate, he managed to raise enough
cash 10 pay for a telegram to friends at
distance, who Immediately sent an order
for one hundred dollars, which was paid to
him, and he went on his way rejoicing
These money orders are transmitted with
out any risk whatever to the parties in
terested. No telegraph manager can
send an order direct 10 the Office where
payment is to be made, but all must be
done through the superintendent of tele-
graph, and in CIPHER, understood, of
course, by the superintendent, the sending
and the receiving operator. II the half
rate and money order system were gener-
ally known, more would be benefited by
its operation than at the present time

A Card.

To the Editor Of the Daily Union:
Although my name was not mentioned
in the recent abduction" scandal, but
calling me "a baggage man, on the R., r.
l. Il St. L. road, was enough to point me
out to the adverse criticism, if not absolute
execration, of the good people of this city,
many of whom know me well. The in
ferred charge that was guilty Of abduct-
ing or 10 any manner misleading a poor,
defcnseless and innocent girl, is a scandal
Gus falsehood, and l brand the perpetrators
and starters of the SANDER as calumniators
and towards.
Very respectfully yours,
