UNEXPECTED NEWS.

A few minutes to eight o'clock Mr.
Wilson's brother arrived. He was
greatly affected by the sudden death OF
his brother, from whom he parted Sun.
day evening. At that time the vice
president was apparently in greatly inn
proved condition.
Within ten minutes after his death
the editor of the St Paul Pioneer Press
appeared at the door of the vice-presi
dents room and, handing his card to
Captain Town, inquired as to Mr., vii.
sons condition. In reply Captain Town
told him to step in and see the vice.pres-
ident, and his establishment at finding
Mr.. Wilson dead may be imagined.
After the remains had been placed in
a coffin, very beautiful funeral wreath
and cross of flowers was placed by the
casket, sent by Mrs. President Grant.

the Washington papers, several North

pleasant notices of Mr.. Wilson, letter

The Great Organiser of Excursions.

BY reference to our telegraph columns
it will be seen that Maj. j, NJ. Beardsley,
Of this city, is organizing a grand swing
around the circle for the State Board OF
Equalization, in order to show the mem
bers the poverty of the railroads of the
state and that they ought not to be assess
ed more than merely nominal sum, Ol
course the Palace Cars for the Board will
be attended by Commissary Car, where
choice birds, fish, meats, vegetables, fruits,
wines and cigars will be furnished, at the
expense of the railroads, in order to con.
vince the Board of the poverty of the roads
they ride over. And the people will ulti
mately..pay all the expense in the exemp
ton Of railroad property from its proper
share Of taxation,
What particularly valuable information
the Board can derive by riding over the
roads and looking at the rails, ties, bridges
ETC., OF at the rich country which is tribu
tary to the great corporate monopolies, W.
are unable to perceive. Maj. Beardsley il
employed by the railroads to look after
their interests and he knows how to do i
rather better than any other man within
our knowledge. He is an adept in gettinl
up excursions for the people to pay for, a
our county tax payers know very well.-
Jim knows how to do that sort of thing VI
handsomely-at the peoples expense.

DeKalb County Excursion,

Nine car loads of ladies and gentlemen

MOLINE.

Its likely that the Kirkover infanticide
case will be reopened. After having been
cleared, fairly, it does not seem plain why
this should be.
Division street will not be opened. The
Water Power Co., say 'no!"-and that is
binding on the city, The Atkinson clique
runs Moline-or appears to do 80 in this
matter.
This morning the mayor Was notified
that suit would be commenced against the
city by Frank A. Anderson and Victor
Stromberg, claiming damages in the sum
of 81 900 each from overflow owing to in
sufficient drainage. The property claimed
to be damaged is in John Deere's addition
to Moline or near Hawk Hollow. and was
sold to the plaintiffs as dry lots. During
Deere's administration he was influential
in having street cut through the lands,
Or as they were then called, John Deere's
swamp lots" and also secured drain
which run off the water from his lots and
damaged surrounding property. By this
operation he enhanced the value of his
property at least $5OO-really at the ex.
pense of the city. The plaintiffs have en-
gagged p. 4. McElherne, ESQ.,, as counsel
The whole trouble is caused by the neg
lect of John Deere to properly drain his
lots.
A suit against the city is about to bt
commenced, which is likely to prove o
considerable importance. The plaintiff
are Henry Fairclough. ct. al, property
holders on Sugar Hollow road. Thes,
parties claim that the food of last Jun,
injured their property and cverfowed thei
cellars, and that the drainage from Suga
Hollow is insufficient, and greatly depre
ciates the value of property. Messrs
Sweeney & Jackson have been retained
for plaintiffs. On one hand it is claime'
that the property owners were aware G
} the danger of the ditch oyerhowing at tn
time of purchase and bought their proper
ty much cheaper on account thereof, an
now take this means to enhance its value
To this the plaintiffs in the case reply tina
: the proper authorities were repeated
notified of the condition of the ditch, an
that, had the city done its duty, no dam
age would have occurred. The suit wi
no doubt be one of considerable interest
and, if decided against the city, may lea

Township Organization.

The Union argu es that, because we have
dishonest or incompetent township officers |
in this town, therefore the system of town.
ship organization is wrong or undesirable. |
The fault is not in the system, but in those
who administer 1t. As well might the
Union claim that, because our internal
revenue system is honeycombed with
thieves and swindlers. therefore we should
have no internal revenue system; or be-
cause Republican thieves fill our custom
houses therefore we should abolish our
custom houses. What we want is men
who will inform themselves in regard to
their duties and then perform them hon
estly and conscientiously. No complaint
comes from any Of the country towns in
regard to incompetent or dishonest officers
the complaint comes from Rock Island,
where the machine is run in the Unions
party rut by a set of men who seek Office
for no other reason than for the money.
they can make out of it. We quite agree
with the Union in what it says about the
bread and butter" brigade. If that pa
per would join with The ARGUS in secur-
ing set of town officers for this town who
take office for the public good and not
merely for their personal and party gain,
complaints would be heard no more.
The Union is again mistaken in suppos-
ing that the old commissioner system would
be cheaper, or that it would lessen taxes.
1t would be simply impossible for the sher-
if and the treasurer to do the assessing
and collecting without a horde of assis-
tants, whose pay would probably exceed
the cost of the present system. And the
worst feature of the whole would be the
fact that the one-man power would control
the whole assessment, and in the hands OF 8
corrupt party hack would be used to favor
some and punish others, for party OF per
sonal ends. This cannot be done under
township organization, because the asses
sors meet and interchange views and come
to general understanding as to assess
ments, which prevents such personal o.
party favoritism.
1t is safe to say that nothing would b.
saved in salaries and much would be los
by the corrupt management of a centra
clique. County expenses would be in
creased and taxes would be increased.
1t would be very pretty job, with Guy
er for the central figure, to build $500,
900 court house, and he and one of tn
other county commissioners boss the ex
penditures,ald run all the county bushes
in the interest Of their ring-but we rath
( er guess the people won't consent to tina
l arrangement The Union works hard f.
it, but it is doomed to disappointment
, The people won't bite at aFhook so poorl
: covered.
