A gentleman residing in this county,
went to church recently, and before
starting was requested very earnestly by
his better half to be sure and remember
the text. The text was: "An angel came
down from heaven and took live coal
from the altar" Before he got home
the text had slipped his memory. When
his wife asked him what the text was, he
answered: There was an Indian came
over from Paterson and took live colt
by the tail and pulled his head out of
the halter"

Sma up on the Peoria Road.

About $50 this morning. as heavy
eastern bound freight train on the Peoria
road was approaching the switch at South
Rock Island, the locomotives and seven
cars jumped the track in a general smash
up. The train was composed of &c cars,
laden with grain lumber, and other freight,
and was hauled by two locomotives-one
extra locomotive to help up the grade as
far as Champion station, on the summit be-
yond Coal Valley. Both locomotives were
thrown on their sides and cars of grain,
l car of lumber, and empty coal cars
were smashed up. The other 10 cars are
all right. 1t is down grade at that point
and it was impossible to check up at once
It's supposed that the accident was caused
by something wrong about the guard raj
to the switch.
General Freight Agent Mahoney, and
Station Agent Lowry went out with al
extra and brought in the passengers anc
mail due at noon, without any delay
Some 1000 feet of track will be lai(
around the wreck and everything will b.
y. X. in the morning.
The Peoria is so crowded with business
that it is particularly provoking to be de
priyed of the use of these locomotive
while they are being repaired.
Luckily, no person was injured by tn
accident. =

Robbed a Money Drawer.

Thomas Brown, young farmer, living
near Presumption, went into the saloon of
Otto Gottsch. on the corner of Exchange
and Union streets, about half past o.
clock Wednesday evening, and there be-
ing no one in the room at the time, he went
behind the bar and took 81 from the draw
er. Mr.. Gottsch returned at this minute
and caught him behind the bar. and ar
rested him, and started for the Jail. At
the corner of Orleans and Ohio streets, he
met Marshal Halves, who took charge of
him and locked him up. Brown, when
arrested, acknowledged he stole the money,
which was found on his person, and begged
and cried as if his heart would break to be
released.
This morning Brown was taken before
Judge Guyer, in the county, court. where
he plead guilty. This being his first of.
fence, and the police thinking he was in
fuenced in the business by some other
party, he was sent to Jail for only 10 days.
If he is as good as his word this will be the
last time he will be sent to Jail on such q
charge. He says he was drunk when he
robbed the drawer.

How to Earn a Living

We are constantly in the receipt of let
tiers whose writer's want to be told how
they can earn living. In stating what
they are willing to do to earn living, the
writer's usually omit to state that they are
willing to come right down to real hard
work-to that absolute drudgery without
which nothing of any account was ever
achieved by anybody. And work must be
done as work; and the worker must not be
ashamed to have it understood that it is
work, and that he is doing it because he
has to do it in order to get living. No
one can earn an honest living on false pre-
fences. Unless ones heart and mind are
in his work, it is not apt to be successfully
done NOR will he grow strong and prosper
GUS in doing it. The man who believes in
hard work, and is willing to be known as
one who earns his living, ifhe is also in
telligent. honest and economical, is the
man who is almost sure to earn it, and to
get on in the world, so that after time
he can rest from his toll, and enjoy the
fruits of his industry and thrift. -Neac

Home Life,

It is the fashion of restless and ambi-
tious women to despise home life as too
narrow, too uneventfulfo them. They long
for wider arena, set we'll in view of the
world, wherein to display their gifts or
their requirements; and they think this
claustral home, this unexciting family Of
which they form a part, unworthy of their
efforts. And yet in reality the art of
living we'll at home, and making the fami-
ly life a success, is just as great in its way,
if not SO important in its apparent-but
onlyeapparent-re as the finest shades
of diplomacy and the largest transactions
of business All sorts of talents, both
moral and intellectual, are wanted for the
tack; and it seems slightly irrational to
despise, as futile, qualities which so few of
US are strong enough to possess, or to rate
them as beneath the regard of high minded
people, when not one id a hundred has wit
enough to employ them to satisfactory
issue.

Stylish Dresses.

By notice in this paper the ladies
will learn that Miss, M. G, Ander-
sons French Pattern Emporium, over the
Boston Bazaar, is to be thrown open TO-
morrow and next day, in order that they
may examine the latest styles for fall and
winter dresses.
Miss Anderson has the exclusive right
for Taylor's celebrated system of actual
measurement, and the right to teach the
system and furnish the patterns to others.
By this system ladies can have their
dresses cut and made with an absolute
certainly of a nice fit. The wearisome
work of fitting" is not now necessary;
measurements are taken and dresses are
now made from the measurements, to fit
in the incest manner. This system has
never before been practiced or taught in
Rock Island, and we are told, by ladies,
that it is highly appreciated by oul
wealthy and fashionable people who have
heretofore been to Chicago or st. Louis tc
get nice dresses made. Now, this work
can be done in Rock Island in as fine style
as in New York.
Ladies of judgment, who have been per
mitted to look at Miss Anderson's display
of French patterns, for fall and winte
styles, inform US that Olmsted, Chicago
never had more elegant line of patterns
1t is quite probable that Miss Anderson
rooms will be thronged by ladies tomorrow
and next day, to see the beautiful style
for the coming season.
We hear that Miss Anderson Emporium
of Fashion has been crowded with order
for elegant and rich dresses, for sometime
and that her patronage is steadily increas
ing, so we'll is the work liked which j
turned out by her establishment, and tina
she is obliged to add to her force of work
ers every week. Everything is done unde
her careful direction and inspection.
| Several pupils from the country town
are already taking lessons of Miss Andel
son, in Taylor's system, and being furnish
ed with patterns.

will probably be numerously attended b

police court and fined $l5, and costs, which
he paid. Mr.. Armil loses $1,000 by
Whistler and 5000 by Hewitt, another fail
ed Davenport merchant.
There is bitter feeling against Whistler,
in Davenport, he having borrowed money
of draymen, laborers and others who
thought it was as safe in his hands as in the
best savings bank. and Whistler knew, all
the while, that he was bankrupt.

Enlarging his Borders,


Mr. Benjamin Whitsitt, of Presumption,
has just purchased, for the snug sum Of
$4,000, the Fletcher farm, adjoining his
owu, The farm consists of $50 acres, in
fine cultivation, with frst-class hedges,
fences, and buildings. 1t was formerly
called the Snyder farm, and, added to Mr..
W. $ farm, makes him farm Of 800 acres,
and as fine farm as can be found in Illi-
nois. of its size. There is no better land
in Illinois than is found about Presumption,
and no better farmers than the Whitsitts
We remember when Mr.. John Whitsitt
came here, direct from ireland, with but
little of this worlds goods. BY his enter
prise, industry, economy and good judge
ment he has placed himself among the
well-known stock-raisers of Illinois; has
accumulated property, raised very fine
family and finds them settling around him,
and prospering under his advice. The
Whitsitts are large feeders of hogs and
cattle and their beef and pork always COM
mands the highest market price Mr..
John Whitsltt is also dealer in and
breeder of choice stock.
1t isn't every boy of Ben's age that can
add $4,000 farm to his own, and the
fact suggests that there's money made ir
raising something besides native runts and
scrubs. This purchase shows the value
of land about Presumption. There are
many rich farmers in that vicinity. anG
they have made their money by sticking
to corn and cattle and hogs. We are glat
to hear of our friend Ben Whitsitt's pros
perity. He is among the very best citizens

Another Republican Thief Goes Ere

Isaac Brandt deputy state treasurer of
Iowa, was convicted of embezzling $40, 900
of the peoples money. He took the case
to the supreme court of the state on the
ground that the deputy sheriff participated
in the drawing of the jury that convicted
him. and the supreme court said the jury
was an illegal one on that account, and
let Brandt off. This lets him out entirely,
as. before he can be indicted again, the
statute limitation will have run on the
crime. And it is thus that the people are
robbed and justice made mockery of.
