again.
1t was rumored that Miss, Mary
Woods, daughter of the late Frank Woods,
died yesterday during her mothers funeral,
This is not true. The young lady is
living, but is very low
The funeral of Mrs Elizabeth Woods,
who died last Friday evening, was very
largely attended yesterday afternoon, and

woman about 70 years old, this mornins,
who, he charged, had stolen his cket
book containing $50, and check for 500.
After talking with several passengers. and
a daughter of the old lady the officers
learned that the fellow had been drunk and
wandering oyer the boat last night, when
he says he lost the money. Our officers
did not feel justified in taking any action
without warrant, and no warrant was
procured,

Improvements on the Peoria g. Rock Is
land Road.

In trip over the Peoria & Rock Island
road, on Saturday, we were surprised to
notice the great improvements being made
in the track of the road. New ties are
being put in, all along the road, wherever
needed; new iron has been laid for some
distance out of this city; quantity of new
steel rails have been purchased and will be
laid wherever the old rails give out, and
that policy will be pursued in keeping up
the track of the road. The old chairs are
being removed and the new fishplate con-
nection made on the rails, thus making the
rails continuous and avoiding the old
fashioned humping motion. The road
bed is being graveled up wherever needed,
ald the culverts and bridges made safe.
New Joliet stone piers are being put in at
the Rock river bridges. Passenger trains
are run at the rate of 80 miles an hour,
and make close connections at Rock Island
and at Peoria with other roads. The
road is being much improved, every day,
and is so crowded with freight as to need
double the rolling stock it now has. The
Receiver, Mr.. Hilliard, is doing all he can
to improve the property and increase its
business.

The Union can not shake off the party
collar. 1t advocates the election of its
candidates on party grounds, and fourishes
its little party whip over all who decline to
wear the party collar. 1t wants to know
how Mr.. Porter can claim Republican votes
or Democratic votes. What the manage.
ment of the county finances has to do with
party politics, no mortal man can tell. An
honest treasurer is what the people should
secure-no matter what his politics may
be or whether he has any politics. Mr..
Porter is an honest man who serves the
peoples interests first. He has admins.
tered the duties of the Office with fidelity
He has been annoyed with factious party
suit to eject him from Office. The ring
has caused him an unnecessary and oner-
Gus bill for lawyers and court expenses.
He has found no fault, but gone on dis.
charging his duties with honesty and fidel
| ity. He claims nothing-except that he
is faithful public servant, and he prom
ises, if the people want his services another
term, to be true and faithful to their in,
terests,

a Dav of Recreation

Mr.. Ben Harper, of the Harper House,
Mr.. Homer Lowrey, general agent of the
P. & r. l. R'y,, and ''the subscriber" took
run over to Peoria, Saturday, and en-
joyed the ride very much. Leaving here
at in the morning, we were out on the
prairie before sunrise The changing
landscape views the bright
sunrise glistening on the many
colored foliage: the thousands of acres Of
corn; the farmers feeding their stock; the
hundreds of prairie chickens flying about
for their breakfast; the hum of business
in the villages as we flew past them, all
contributed to make up most delightful
picture.
At Peoria Mr.. Hilliard took US in car
riage and showed us the town, and some
delightful residences and charming views

while we staid.

A New Name for Robbing the Public
Treasury.
The Union SAYS:

L AO CHCOt says.
THE ARUUs has habit of charging people
with stealing in the most reckless manner, as was
instanced in its onslaught on the Board of Town
Auditors who inadvertently allowed themselves
fifty cents more than the law fixed their compensa-
ton, but did not draw the money!
The dictionary definition of ''inadver-
family is 'carelessly, 'negligently." This
is new name for public robbery. But even
if it were true that the township money
was 'carelessly" or ''negligently"
taken common sense would !say that the
men who did it are not fit persons to hold
Office, and common honesty would say that
when their ''inadvertanee" was shown to
them they should make restitution and
thus show that they did not intend to rob
the treasury,
The Union, in the most gingerly man
ner possible, alludes to the illegal sum
which the auditors allowed themselves
and would have the people believe that no
other illegal allowances had been made;
and that they did not draw from the
treasury the illegal allowances. What are
the facts?
Krell, Beardsley, Chopper and Pinkley,
(the auditors) allowed Philleo, the asses
sor, S.. day. The law authorizes only
$3.50 day. They allowed Mills, one Of
his assistants, 800 month. The law
authorizes only 50 SO day. They allow
ed HAYES, another assistant, (under pay
from the city at the same time) IS. day,
The law authorizes only $3.50 day. They
allowed Beardsley, town clerk, bill
amounting to bout eight times what tht
law authorizes. They allowed themselves
50. day. The law authorizes only $3.50
And all'the money was drawn-ever.
cent of it. And there is no evidence tina
anybody bnt Pinkley ever paid back a CEN
of it. And Krell abused Pinkley for tel
ling an ARGUS reporter that he had pail
anything back; and refused to show tn
town books to an authorized agent of thi
paper, who wished to publish the facts a
they appeared on the peoples books.
That's the history of that transaction
and we defy the Union or anybody els
to disprove a word of it. Nor has tn
Union ever intimated its disapproval G
the robbery.
The people complain of hard times an
burdensome taxation, Do they wish
encourage economy, cut down expense
and reduce taxation? Then let.them ceas
to be blinded by party zeal, and wheneve
they find out one of these 'inadvertant
robbers, vote against him. They ca
never cut down expenses or reduce the
taxes if they encourage this sort ofpeopl
by electing them to Office. No matte
whether they claim to be Democrats {
Republicans, vote against them, and thu
teach public officers to be the servants (
the people and not to rob the publ
treasury. That's the remedy. Will tt
people apply it?
