More Credit for Wiltshire,

Judge Wiltshire, of Arkansas, having
been once resident of Port Byron, in this
county, and since been prominent actor
In Arkansas reconstruction, we take pleas
ure in keeping our people posted as to
what is said of him. He is now occunvinp
a seat IN Congress to which it seems yery
clear that he was never elected but as he
seems now to be using his influence TO
break up the tyrannical and corrupt CLAY
ton ring in Arkansas, and aid the people
in recovering honest home rule, we are
glad to give him credit for the good he ap-
pears now to be doing. A letter from
Washington May Is. to the St. Louis Re
publican, says;
The moving cause of Claytons downfall
has been Wiltshire. 1t was the most natu-
raj thing in the world. Wiltshire is too
much like Clayton for the two to dwell in
| harmony in the same State. Both love
power and are Indifferent to the profits.
Hence Wiltshire took the opposition to
Clayton, because he would not be second
In his support, and no Establishments OF
railroad bonds could bring him over. Thus
Clayton was worsted by one of his own
kind, every way as fearless as he and as
insensible to the allurements of pelf.
don't take must stock in the essential pa
triotism of Wiltshire; but he has been, in
the hands of fate, of great good to the
people of Arkansas, and when the old ter.
rorism and usurpation shall be remember
ed as of the past and done away with for.
ever by the new constitution that is to be
it will be only just to remember that Viii
shire did yeoman service in crushing the
last breath out of the ring. He deserves
that consideration which manly men al
ways extend to fellow with hard head
clean hands and fighting pluck and that i,
all. He is not a statesman or an orator
but he has done great deal of good anG
ought to have the credit of it.

A Deaf Mans Mistake.

Old Mr.. Collamer, one of the members
OF our church, is extremely deaf. Last
Sunday the clergyman, during his sermon,
had occasion to introduce a quotation, and
as it was quite long, he brought the volume
with him, and when the time came he pick
ed up the book and began to read it. We
always sing the Old Hundred Doxology af-
ter sermon at our church, and Mr.. Cola
mer, seeing. the pastor with the book
thought the time had come, so, while the
minister was reading, he opened his hymn
book at the place. just as the clergyman
laid the volume down, the man sitting next
to Mr.. Collamer began to yawn, and Mr.
Collamer, thinking he was about to sing,
Immediately broke out into Old Hundred
at the top of his voice As the clergyman
was Just beginning Secondly" and as, of
church, the effect of Mr.. Collamer's vocif-
Grafton was very startling. But the good
old man didn't notice that anything was
the matter, so he kept right on and sang
| the entire verse through. When he con-
Guided he observed that everybody else
seemed TO be quiet, excepting few who
were laughing; 50 he leaned over and said
out loud to the man who yawned, wv hat 5
the matter with this congregation anyhow?
Why don't they 60 home" The man
turned scarlet, and the perspiratlon broke
out all over him, for he felt that the eyes
OF the congregation were upon him, and
| he knew that he would have to yell to
make Mr. Collamer hear. So he touched
his lips with his finger as a sign for the old
man to keep quiet. But Mr. Collamer
misunderstood the motion Going tc
sing another hymn, hey? All right y and
he began to tumble his hy,nn-book again
Then the sexton sailed up the aisle, and
explained matters out loud to Mr.. Cola,
mer, and that gentleman subsidized, while
the minister proceeded with his discourse
The elders have written Mr. Collamer {
note requesting him in the future not t.
join in the sacred harmony. The effect is
too apparent upon the ribald boys in the
gallery.-lldr Adeler.

Egglesht, the Forger

Our readers remember the capture, by
two of our Rock Island Policemen, Mike
Murrin and Jim Snyder) last winter, of the
noted forger Egglesht, and the money he
had tricked out of the Davenport banks,
and the return of the money by Deputy
himball, and the confinement of Egglesht
in jail. No sooner had the news of the ar
rest for his operations here spread abroad
than parties, bankers principally, in a hall
dozen cities, in about as many States, com
menced asserting their claims for theil
possession of gent of that description
If all the suspicious concerning the fellow
are correct he must have had an extended
experience.
The latest inquiries as to the style O
the fellow, came from Louisville, Ky. A
few days ago letter was received by
party in Davenport, asking for full de
scription of Egglesht 1t was from D. L
Bhgh, Chief of Detectives in Louisville
The desired information was sent him
And now the reply comes that there is NJ
doubt that Egglesht is no other than on
onroder, alias Althausen, or Alstotter,
VINO passed some forged checks in Louis
vie some four years ago, roping the bank
there TO the tune OF several thousands ant
III much the same manner that guided hi
scheme here. The Louisville Chief write
that Il gglesht has good friends in Cincin
natl who have saved him from sufTerinl
the penalty of his crimes on more thai
one occasion, and he hopes that ''outs;d
influence will not be permitted to interven
between this most accomplished forger an,
the ends of justice, in which society ha
the best protection when the laws ar
properly administered in the noble State O
Iowa, Evidently Egglesht has an un
promising future, if half the stories con
(cerning him are true.

NO LICENSE IN EoLINE
Mayor Deere on the Fence.

We hear that at the meeting Of the
Moline city council, last evening the vote
was 4 for and 4 against license and that
Mayor Deere declined to give the casting
vote, saying that he wanted the people to
vote on it,-and so the matter rests at
present. The action of Mayor Deere is
equivalent to voting against license, for
the reason that the old council repealed
their license ordinance, and before licenses
shall be granted another ordinance must
be adopted. When Mayor Deere declines
to vote he practically gives his vote to the
no license party.

The political campaign in Iowa this year
will be one of unusual interest. For years
it has been the custom of the Republicans,
conscious of their superior strength, to hold
their nominating convention first, leaving
their opponents to follow and make the
most of their shortcomings This custom
has been completely reversed. The anti
monopolists, as the opposition party call
themselves, have taken the lead with a
boldness which has considerably dlscon-
certed the Republicans, who, after a good
deal of hesitation, have placed their Con-
vention after that Of their opponents.
The Burlington Hunk eye, one of the most
intelligent and outspoken Republican jour
nails of the State, says the anti monopolists,
encour aged by their unexpected success
last year, and by the apathy of the Re
publicans, will enter the campaign with a
systematic organization and feeling that
victory is fairly within their reach While
not predicting in any way the result, the
same journal remarks I'VE may count
pretty certainly on a lively campaign, and
one, too, in which there will be more dis,
cussion of principles and less reliance upon
party watchwords than we have had for

SIX MILLIONS. About two years ago,

stefan of California, discovered, by actual
experience upon his own system, a medi-
cine which may honestly be termed "a
boon to suffering humanity" Being a
combination Of herbalistic extracts. pung-
ent and sour to the taste, and yet possess
ed of gentle cumulative characteristics
although entirely free from alcoholic
named it VINEGAR BITTERs, and despite
the prejudice existing among his probes
sion, against all patent medicines, he deter
mined to brave the jeers of his brother
practitioners, and give to suffering human
ity the benefit Of his accidental discovery.
He did SO, and the benefits from its use
became known. The demand increased,
and immense quantities were sold, at a
merely nominal price. Its merit is told in
the fact that in two years over SIX MIL,
LIONS of bottles have been sold = and still
the demand increases. Surely such man
should be ranked among the benefactors of
the human race.
