Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Woods.

Last evening, about S o'clock, Mrs.
Elizabeth Woods, wife of the late Francis
Woods, died at her residence, corner of
Orleans and Ohio streets, in this city,
from Inflammation of the bowels, aged At
years and 10 months. Her death was
rather sudden, being only confined to her
bed few days. She was born in Quebec,
Canada, of Irish parents her maiden
name was Bailey was married to Fran
els Wood, at Rochester, N. Y, in Octo-
Der, 1854, and came to this city 10 1851,
where they have lived since. She leaves
six children, three boys and three girls,
and the oldest girl is now lying sick and
very low at her home. having been con-
fined to her bed since July last.
Watching and caring for her poor daugh
ter, both day and night, probably hurried
her own disease. She was conscious up to
the time of her death, She was a constant
member of st. Joseph's (Catholic) church,
and good, true Christian, beloved by all
who knew her.
Fdneral tomorrow afternoon at o.
clock, from her late residence Rev.
Father Joseph P. Roles, of st. Joseph
church will officiate. Friends are invited.

Win the Party Shoulder II.

1t is now a serious question, with Re-
publicans, whether they, as party, can
afford to shoulder and carry a man who is
proven to have kept money belonging to
the people. If they do they assume the
responsibility, and proclaim to all office
holders that they can embezzle public
money with impunity. They proclaim
that they, as party, will make no effort
to purify the public service, but on the
contrary will encourage the robbery of
the public treasury which is going on all
around us, Can Republicans afford to do
this? Election day will tell,
Mr.. Porter is not party man, He is a
public servant, whose record is unsmuched
by any act against the people. He will
not bind himself to any man who may be
nominated for president, on either side
He will judge who is best for the country
who presents the best record, and who vii
be likely to carry out principles for the
best good of the whole country. He may
vote for the Republican nominee; he may
vote for the Democratic nominee; he viii
Judge between them when they are nomi
mated. This is the correct position. 1t il
the position all independent men shoulC
occupy. But on the question of takin,
safe care of the public funds, and devotins
his time to the interests of the people, hi
record shows for itself. As between
his private interests and the interests O
the people, whose servant he is, he i
bound to look out for the peoples interes
6rst. This has not been the case witt
Cleaveland.
No good reason can be given why ever
vote in this county should not be cast 70

cording to Mr.. Abbott, exports annually

The Republican party can not afford to
carry the load which rests on Cleaveland's
shoulders. 1t will sink them out of sight
1t will show that they are not in favor of
requiring public officers to account for

they encourage public robbery of the

WHOLESOME ADvICE.-If the public
were as particular in attending to their
health, as they are in the unimportant
concerns of life, they would never use the
poisonous hair preparations which food the

instant death. The Egyption Hair Color

Wants More Paw

At the meeting of the council on the 4th
inst, the following petition was present
ed:
To the Hon, the Mayor and City Council of the city
of Rock Island.
Gentlemen: Your petitioner respectfully asks for
compensation for the duties Of keeping the books
of the water works and collecting the water rents
The former clerk receive a salary of three hundred
dollars per annum for simply keeping the books
while y,,ur petitioner has-n addition to the duties
of the former clerk-to make out all the bills, col
lect the monies, and to go back over the books to
correct the errors made during the pat three
years.
He would therefore ask your honorable body to
allow him for the above duties salary of four
hundred dollars per annum commencing at the be-
ginning OF the present fiscal year and in duty
bound will ever pray, etc,
5. F. Cook, City Clerk.
Rock Island, Ills, Oct. 4, 1875.
The petition was referred to the Finance
Committee (Wollenhaupt and Butler) and
tie Mayor. 1t appears from this. that the
Mayor was not very wrong in wanting a
change in water works superintendent.
