1t is authoritatively stated that two
thirds of the winter wheat sown in
Christian, Macoupin and Montgomery
counties will be plowed up and the land
put to corn.
Small pox, which has for some months
past prevailed at Cairo, has within the
last few weeks grown more alarming, and
the mayor has ordered that every house
where it exists be put under quarantine.
The Mason county Independent says
the wheat crop in that county may be

winter has been killed by the cold dry
weather this month, except some pieces in

The Gazette thinks the investigation
in the Nichols trial will last as long as the

The Alton Telegraph says the condition
of the fruit orchards on the bluffs between
there and Grafton is as follows: Peaches,
few scattering blossoms, hardly enough

trees full of blossoms but many of the fruit
germs dead. Pears, prospect poor. Early
apples much injured by the late frosts.
Late apples all right, will probably be a

and the refusal of the request, says:
Those who have known her we'll have
known hcr as tender and faithful mother,
a devoted wife and good woman. They
have never for moment doubted her en-
tire innocence of the charges made against
her. She has been in and out before them
for twenty years, and Until this sorry scan
DIAL no lisp was ever made against her good
name. Naturally they stand by her now
with mistaken faith and love. But the
great world, which reads the trial. has not
seen her quiet, womanly life, and does not
feel the force of the testimony. which a
personal knowledge of her would be sure to
give in her favor. Therefore let Mrs, Til
ton make the statement in her own behalf.
which was not permitted by the court, and
let her trust it to the newspaper press of
the country. She will be heard as widely
as the trial is reported, and that divine
power which always is in and goes with the
truth will be fell and admitted by the
great multitude, whose verdict will have
more weight than that of any jury.

Excitement and Mystery.

There is much of romance and some trag-
edy in the real life of Davenport, and it is
the province of ian ARGUS reporter
to remember the many facts that
come into his possession and at the proper
time place them before the public. A lit.
tie occurrence, last evening, caused him to
ruminate among the musty records. 1t
was about eighteen years ago that young
man brought his young, beautiful and in
nocent wife to this city and established
himself in business. He did well, was
honored and respected A dark cloud
came across his path. He left business,
wife and child tosseek another fortune, in
a distant country. The child was adopted
by highly respected citizen who is now
one of Davenports business men. The
child grew to beautiful womanhood, is now
seventeen years old, and only until within
short time has she known that what
to her were. father and mother were not
her real parents. The true mother
lived along in our midst, a quiet, unas-
Stunning woman, accomplishing with hard
lot, and felt happy at being near her child.
She has visited her husband several times,
in their distant home, but mother S
heart each time drew her back to Daven
port. Last night mother and child dis
appeared from Davenport. It is like a
a bereavement to the father and mother
who in the last seventeen years have loved
that beautiful child as their own. Officers,
father, and lawyer, hunted this city.
Moline and Rock Island till long past mid
night for the missing girl but without sue
cess she is doubtless miles away, to bel
own fathers house in distant country
ere this. Some will say it is the old story o.
ingratitude. All the parties are vel
known, and it is only at the anxious re
quest of the stricken people who feel tina
they are father and mother to that beautiful
girl that we refrain from giving names O.
such particulars as will .create fuctua
ton of the social fabric of Davenport an,
Rock Island society.

Judge Guyer's Bill.


Judge Guyer has shown us the bill he
presented to the board Of supervisors, for
services from March l. to June l. and the
oath attached. The oath reads as follows:
Subscribed and sworn TO before ME this
10th day of May, 1875" And he also
showed us two bills from DR.. Craig, for
services, and which, he says, cover the
same time, and were allowed by the board.
Craig's bills were sworn to on blank got
up before the late law was passed. And
neither the oath of Guyer or Craig are in
compliance with the law. Why don't the
clerk get new blanks Ia which the oath
will cover the requirements of the law L?
Why does the board allow bills which
are not sworn to in the form required by
law?
The business of the county seems to be
very bunglingly managed, and more
bunglnlgly by the supervisors than anybody
else. We venture to say that the board
has no idea of the form of oath required
and that not single bill has been properly
sworn to. Certainly our county judge
ought to be man who knows the law, and
the form he used is not what the law re-
quires.
But why the supervisors should allow
Craig's bills and refuse Guyer's, when
both cover the same time is what the SUI
peryisors may perhaps be able to explain.
Judge Guyer says he did not Withdraw
his bill, or the oath, and that it is now on
! file 10 the county clerks Office.
