Thompson for Congress.

We notice by the Los Angeles Semi
Tropical Farmer, that Judge Thompson,
formerly Of this county, has been nominat-
ed for congress, by the Independents. We
congratulate him on the confidence the
people place in him. 1t is quite an OK
preston Of sincere regard for the people
to nominate man only known few
years. The Judge held office while in Ill.
inois, and gave satisfaction. His name is
familiar one here, and is always men,
toned in connection with energy, ability,
and enterprise. FROM all we learn, his
prospects for being member of the next
congress are good, We are induced to
believe the people of his district will never
have cause to regret their choice, and we
wish him success.-Ayedo( Mercer Co. Ban
ner
Hon John S. Thompson was circuit
judge in the Mercer district for some
years. And in 1866 he was the Indepen-
dent and Democratic candidate for con.
gress against the late Gen. Harding.
Judge Thompson was an able and popular
man end we regretted to see him leave
the district aud the state We very much
hope to record his election to congress from
the Pacific coast. He will truly aud ably
represent the people OF that far off land.

The Methodist Schools Have a. Picnic

The methodist Schools Have Picnic
On Thursday 1.-THE 12th) the Methodist
schools had very fine picnic on Credit
Island, 1t is singular that it has taken
so many years to discover that Credi! ISL
and is the incest place for pic. MICS, es-
pecially for children, as the shores of the
island are level, sandy beach, and free
from the danger of deep and swift water.
No better place can be found near here,
Only few minutes are required TO reach
the island, by ferry boat or skiff The ISL
and is high and dry, and is supplied with
beautiful shade, plenty of grass and good
pure water. And Mr.. Offerman, the own
er, has large farm house there with wide
porches, and is always ready to help visi-
tors to his place to have comfortable
time. Mr.. Oferman ownssthe island, on
which he does good deal in the way of
farming, and he owns ferry and conveys
people to and from the island. From the
end of our street railroad, at the water
works, skiffs can make quick trips to the isl
and, and MIR. Offerman's horse ferry boat
will carry people from that point, or from
any other, in this city or Davenport, where
he is wanted. 1t is said that Mr.. Offer
man will not allow the use of intoxicating
drinks on his island, and no pic MICS taking
liquor alcng will be allowed to land.
The Methodist excursion was a very
pleasant affair. About $50 persons went
down to the island and nothing occurred
to mar the pleasures of the day except an
unfortunate accident to little Harry Sin-
mon, son of hIr. Philip Simmon. Harry
was zealously pushing large swing when
he tripped and fell, breaking the small
bone of one of his legs. He was imme-
diately brought home and DR.. Truesdae
reduced the fracture He is doing well,
but he will be confined to the house for
few weeks.

A Sneak thief in a Boarding House,

A young man named Henry Boyer,
boarding in the lower end of town, was
charged, short time ago, with stealing
some jewelry, amounting to over 800,
also gold pen and holder. He indig
nantly denied the theft, but the other
boarders, who did not want the suspicion
to rest on them, compelled him to open his
trunk, or opened it for him, and they sue
ceeded in finding the pen and holder, but
the other property could not be found, al
though parties interested are looking fol-
it-and have good idea where it went.
This is the same scamp who, in company
with another party, attempted to extort
money from the wife of Peter Stelck by
threatening to prosecute her for selling
liquor to them, after they had represented
to her that they were of age, when they
were not, and which nearly caused the
death of the poor woman. There are sew,
eral other charges against him, among
them seduction, and it would be good
idea for the police to watch him.

from his fingers into the hand, and almost
to the wrist. He was taken to his resi-
dence, near the mill and on Rock River
street, and Drs. Truesdale and Craig sum-
moned After examining the hand it was
found to be impossible to save it, as all
the bones were found to be sawed and in
jured, and they then proceeded to ampu-
tate it at the wrist. This morning Mr..
Kendall was feeling quite we'll and cheer
full after his misfortune, and says he will
be able to try his luck again before long.
He is good man and we'll liked by all the
employees of the MILL
Mr.. Kendall also has little daughter

Durham for Governor,

On the 18th of June last there appeared
in this paper the following editorial:
" The ARGUS suggests that there are a
good many people in this state who would
like to see the Hon. Charles Durham, of
Henry county, the candidate for governor,
of the combined Opposition to the Repub-
lican party. No man can be named who
would make an ADLER or safer governor
than Charles Uunham, and as to the CUES
ton OF availability we doubt if a better
man can be found. He was elected to the
Legislature by the Liberals and Democrats,
and he there made state reputation for
ability, fairness and good judgement as a
lawmaker-so much so that Speaker CuI-
lom selected him as one of the committee
to revise the laws. He early introduced
an excellent bill for an act regulating rail
roads, etc, and Is true and consistent
friend and advocate of free trade and
farmers rights. We are not posted as t.
his opinions upon a candidate, or as to
whether be would accept if nominated, but
we know that great many people in this
region think he would fill the office of gov
ernor with distinguished credit to the
state"
On the 9th of this month" the Aledo
Banner said:
we suggest the name of Charles Dun
ham, OF Geneseo, as a proper person for
Governor. He served iu the legislature
last winter with distinction, and his char
acter will bear acquaintance.
On the 18th the Geneseo Republic Ia
Republican paper said
Z" If the Fates should order that Dem,
ocrat fill the gubernatorial chair Of this
state, an ADLER or better one could not be
found for the place than Hon. Charles
Durham of this city
On the l4tn the Prairie Chief said:
Search the whole state over, and YOU
will not find better material to make a
first-class governor of than is furnished by
Hon. Chas. Durham Of Henry. Within
our recollection, no man has made so many
friends in single term of the legislature
as Mr.. Durham did two years ago. There
is no humbug or clap-trap about him; the
noble qualities developed 10 him during
his short public career, are as solid and
lasting as the eternal hills, and should the
people select him for governor, they would
have one who is every inch a man; one
who will not disappoint their expectations,
no matter how high the mark may be-

Mr.. Whistler will be able to satisfy all

dorsements have caused this failure.
According to the statements entered for
record, Mr. Whisler's liabilities amount to
$4,000, and his assets to $4,000. The

Yesterday Deputy Marshal Kimball and
Policeman Ankrum went over to the Dav-
export Jail for the purpose of bringing the
prisoners here for trial. They were not
informed OF the charge against them, but
started along with the officers. On the
way they were anxious to learn the nature
of the charge against them. Kimball said
there was no occasion for privacy about it
they we're wanted on charge of grand
larceny! Blossburg immediately said:
You have no right to take US from one
state to another" and he declined to 60
willingly. Andrews said he was willing to
go-they could gain nothing by resistance.
Kimball then told Blossburg that it was
only question of time; requisition
would be obtained, and in the meantime
they would have to lie in Jail in Daven-
port. His advice to them was to go along
willingly, plead guilty and throw them
selves on the mercy of the court; the proof
would, no doubt, convict them, and create
expense for the people, and delay would
do them no good. If both were willing tc
come-all right; if not both would he re
turned to jail to await a requisition to take
them across the river.
