A central ring of office-holders and Of
fee seekers were opposed to the system
then, and the same set are opposed to it
now. Their reasons are obvious. Under
the precinct, or county commissioner sys-
TEN, they can control the offices and run
the county in their rut; reduce the price
of county orders SO they can speculate on
them; keep the people in ignorance, aud,
with two county commissioners in their in-
terest, tax the people about what they
please, furnish county supplies through
their ring at their own prices, keep all
the STAT taxes for their party'followers,
and live easily at the peoples expense.
Whenever there seems to be little dis
satisfaction with the action of the board
of supervisors, and it generally appears in
the shape of opposition to the equalization
of assessments, Quincy Mcneil, or some
other representative of the central ring,
starts out with apaper to obtain the re.
quisite number of signers to petition tc
have an election called to vote for OF
against continuing the system of township
organization. Four trials have been had or
the question with the following results:

that or any other corporation has upon oul

In 1858 M such towns as Rural or An
dalusia had been formed, nor was there
then any voting place at Carbon Cliff.
This will explain the blanks in the returns
for 1858. The vote of Rock Island,i in 1858,
was thrown out, by the county canvassers,
on account of informally, but we insert it
in the table to show how the people vo-
ted.
There was no such township as Rural in
1860.
These four expressions of opinion by
the people in favor of the township system
are not encouraging for the central ring of
court house barnacles, notwithstand-
ing these results, Quincy Mcneil declares
his determination to get up another petition
and have another trial of the question next
fall. Before he starts out with his papers
to solicit signatures we suggest to him to
read the present township organization
law, in the Revised Statutes of 1874. He
will there find, in Art. II, that he must
now get the signatures of one-6fth of the
number of votes cast at the last presiden-
tial election. At that time 4,732 votes
were cast in the county, and therefore he
must get CAT voters to sign his petition,--a
pretty hard job, judging from the votes
cast against township organization in 1858
1860, 1872 and 1878. But, if he can get tn,
necessary number Of signers, he will still
have to wait awhile, for, according to thu
present law no trial Of that sort can be hat
except at general elections, /, e, at an cleo
r ton when some state officers are voted
for. No such officers are to be elected tn
n coming fall.
n Previous to the law Of 1874 it was only
: necessary to procure the signatures of 5
legal voters in the county to call an elet
n ton on this subject Now it requires tn
names of 947 voters! Rather hard 10
to accomplish.
z On the whole. the prospect is that town
ship organization is fixed and irrevocabl
fact in this county. The people will neve
/. abolish it. To do so would be to adm
that they are not capablesof manag
p ing their own town affairs.

A FRIGETFUL RUNAWAY ON
ROCK ISLAND BRIDGE.
One Horse Killed, and Nobody Hurt

About half past ii o'clock this forenoon
a man named T. Ledwick, lumber deal
err from Avoca, Iowa, with pair of horses,
drove up III front of store on I'd street.
Davenport, and getting out, left little
boy to hold them. The horses became
frightened and started to run, the boy let
ting go his hold. They ran up second
street to Iowa street, when the pole
dropped and the carriage was turned over
and smashed badly. The horses then ran
into the Rock Island bridge. hitched to-
gether, and started across on dead run,
When about at the third pier they
crashed into buggy containing
Mrs VIM. A. Norris and Mrs. WIN.
Sears, of South Rock Island. the horses
rearing up on the buggy and breaking the
coupling aud letting the ladies down. One
ofthe Runaway horses had fore leg brok.
en- and the two we're thrown down where
they lay struggling for some time. The
ladies', strange to say, were not injured in
the least.
The draw was partly open when the
team ran on the bridge, but was closed
just as the collision took place.
The horse driven By the ladies' is owned
by VIM. Bopes, livery stable livery keeper
in Milan, and was in no way injured OF
even frightened.
Oscar Olsen. the guard at the bridge
had his thumb sprained while attempting
to stop the horses,
Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Sears wish to ex
press their thanks to Mr.. Johu Stevens, on,
Of the guard, for his kind assistance il
procuring another buggy for them.
Mr.. Ledwick promises to pay all ex
penses, which will probably amount t
$500 or $500, as the injured horse had I,
be shot. His team was from Kerr s liver
stable, of this city.
Both ladies showed considerable plucl
and nerve they, it is said, being the cool
est ones in the crowd. 1t was a marrow
escape, and they may be thankful tina
their horse did not get frightened and run
for if it had there would have been som
thing serious besides broken buggy t

Would NEVER USE 1HEM.-If persons
were aware of the injurious character of
most Baking Powders now for sale in every

them. A baking powder to be good and

results than a school boy. The only good

Advise for Dull Times.

Advertising is great bother, It only
brings a lot of folks to your place of bust
ness. If they want you, let them hunt
you up. Then if you get your name. in
the paper you will be bored with drum
mers, and people from the country will
call on you and you will have to show
them goods, and like enough have to do
up bundles for them, which will exhaust
your stock so much that you will be obliged
to buy more goods, which is a great
trouble. If you advertise, it gives your
place reputation abroad; folks will &c
there and crowd you, and make it too live

keep as still as you can.-N. T. CONNER

Donald. He had his arm bandaged
and when being searched at the Jail was
asked what was the matter with it. He
replied that it was broken. but on taking
the sphnts off his arm was found to be en-
tirely sound. Among other things which
he had was demijohn partly filed with
whisky, and a slate and pencil, with which
he had probably been playing the deaf and
dumb trick on people. This morning he
was fined SIS and costs. He paid $3.75,
all he had, and was escorted to the bridge
by Policeman Brennan, when he went on
his way rejoicing, promising never to re-
furn re- this civ ~
