Judge Treat and State Rights.

1t seems, from the Chicago papers, that
Judge Drunmond. in the R., R. & StL.
tax case, expressed doubt whether Judge
Treat, OF the federal court, had given de-
cision that the property of corporation in
the hands of a receiver Was liable to levy
for taxes, and that he wrote to him on the
subject. And the Inter- Ocean report says:
In his reply Judge Treat says that he
never made any such ruling. He may, in
a general way, have notified receivers
that they must pay tdres or their proper
ty aoould be sold. He, however, held that,
as it is the duty of collector first to apply
to the court which has appointed the re-
ceiver for leave to make the levy, when
such permission could hardly be refused if
the receiver failed to pay the taxes within
time to be fixed by the court"
If the state cannot enforce the collection
of it own local taxes without federal inter,
ference, let US abandon our state organiza.
ton and join the consolidated empire.

Meeting of the Agricultural Society.


At the meeting of the Rock Island
County Agricultural Association, held in
the secretary's Office to-day, committee
was appointed to secure lease of grounds
situated near the Island of Rock Island,
between this city and Moline, belonging to
the Moline Water Power Co. to be used
for fair and exhibition grounds. A com
mittee was also appointed to obtain subscrip-
tons to grade track and otherwise put the
grounds in order. Work will be commenc-
ed at once, provided the proper amount of
subscriptions be raised. Owing to the
limited time to grade the track it was de-
cided to hold the fair this year on the old
grounds. 1t was also decided to enclose
the quarter stretch by an eight foot fence
and charge fifty cents admission to the
quarter stretch, the same as heretofore,
and raise the price of admission to the am
phitheatre to twenty-five cents. The admis-
sion at the outer gate was not changed.
The board appointed committees to carry
out these propositions and after attending
to other unimportant business adjourned.

Centennials.

We we'll remember to have heard Capt
Thomas Freeman, grandfather of our
townsman, Mr.. J. LLFreeman, Of the Hong
Kong tea store) relate the story of hearing
the cannonading at Bunker Hill, while
drinking from spring, in Barnard. He
and others were engaged in clearing land
on what has since been known as "the
Freeman farm" and they said that while
eating their dinner in the woods they drank
from spring and while lying on the
ground drinking they heard a rumbling
like the firing of cannon. This was on the
18th of June 1775,-and afterwards learn
ing of the battle they ever after insisted
that they heard the guns. The distance is
1870 miles, and the country was then al.
most an unbroken forest.
Whether they really heard the guns OF
not, is matter of not much importance
but they were chopping down trees there
on that day, and the town, in town meet
ing, has voted to celebrate it as the hun.
dredth anniversary of its settlement. Com
mittees have been appointed and arrange
ments made for big time, There will b.
