An ARGUS reporter called at the county

An ARGUS reporter called at the county
clerks office this forenoon to procure a
copy Of the said report for publication.
The county clerk ard his assistant COM
menced search for it, but failed to ind
it. Mr.. County Clerk Cook said be knew
Krell presented it at the last meeting of
the board, and that they were looking for
it yesterday, for dock" who has been
employed by the finance committee to
make up their report for them which they
were required by law to make last Sep
TENDER, buS they couldn't find it, but he
was sure Krell had made it out and pre-
scented it at the last meeting of the board
Failing to find it, the reporter called on
krel and he said he had not made out any
report,-an admission, of course, that he
has neglected his duty. He stated, as a
reason why he had not done his duty, that
last year he made out one and the super
visors didn't publish it, and he didn't
think it was necessary to make it out and
have it lay filed away il the court house.
Is it any of Mr.. Krell's business what is
done with his report? The law requires
him to make in out and file it before the
September meeting of the board If the
report had been filed according to law,
any citizen could go and examine it, and
the newspapers could expose anything
wrong in it. But when ii is not filed the
people are in the dark about his work.
There is probably reason for not making
it Out, it might show relief for party
purposes. When man holds the Office Krell
does and gets all the votes of the traders
and the paupers, there is most generally a
reason why the traders and paupers vote
for him, The traders vote for him be-
cause he sends. them orders and the pau
pers because they get orders. And the
people are taxed to Pay the bills un-
necessarily created to ''help the party"
Mr.. Cooks effort to excuse Krell con-
victs himself of neglect of duty, for if
krell presented it at any meeting of the
board. the record should show the fact
which it does not.

THE DAVENPORT s. ST. PAUL
RAILROAD.
The People over the River Trying to
Get ir into Town.

Last evening the people of Davenport
held meeting to devise means to get the
D. & st. ?. R. r. into town. Mayor Rose
presided, and Mr. Meyer, agent for the
bondholders (who have just purchased the
road) stated that if the people Of Daven-
port would give them the right of way into
the city to the leyee and gives them two
blocks on the levee for depot purposes,
they would agree to build the road into
town. 1t would cost $4,000 to build it
in.
There was good deal of friendly talk
on the subject.
Mayor Rose said that it was gratifying
to see so many out in spite Of the storm.
He thought if we had no road through the
country to Fayette, and we were told we
could secure road for $4,000 we would
eagerly strive to possess it. There ought
to be just as much earnestness in this mat
ter, for the situation is urgent 10 the eX-
IRENE,
Elk Mayor J. w. Stewart said there was
no necessity for the people of Davenport
| to .alh about the eXpedlency OF this city
securing connec tion with this railroad. Let
| bygones DE bygones The question is, can
| we devise means whereby We can make the
connection. That connection we must
have. The bondholders say to US that il
| we give the right of way they will build
the railroad Now that is proposition
not offered before. The time has come to
60 something, if we mean to. We must
work-more work and less talk. If We
cannot raise to means to give this right o.
way, We should make no pretensions as g
city, and the sooner we fence our town in

IF the election bill, originated and passed
by the Democrats, in the house of repre-
sentatives. in congress, becomes a law, it
will effect practical revolution in the
manner of conducting elections, and the
people may have some opportunity to
make their ballots express their own will.
It will be refreshing at least to see an
election conducted without the active
electioneericg efforts of cloud of govern
ment officials, who can neither spend money
nor time In the canvass. They are left to
attend to the business for which they are
employed and paid by the people, and the
people are free to manage their own affairs
in their own way. The bill. as passed,
may be regarded as one of the most i'm
portant measures of this congress, which,
if it becomes the law of the land, will effect
sweeping and radical change in the man
ner of conducting popular elections.
Now let the several states prohibit state,
county, city, and town officials from any
personal canvass in elections. and the peo-
pie will soon have men in Office who will
obey their behests. It would be refresh
ing sight 10 Rock Island to have an cleo
tion where people can 60 and vote and go
about their business, without coming in
contact with gangs of hired DULLES who
badger them for vote from the moment
they come in sight of the polls until their
ballot passes into the hands of the election
officers. We trust that the example sci
by the Democrats in congress will be fol.
lowed by the legislatures of all the states
until people can go to the polls and express
their opinions unmolested by party com.
mittees and hired vote distributors.

Dccoase OF a very ola Lady.

The Milford Nelos chronicles the death of
Mrs. Ann Taylor Greer, of that town, on
the 26th inst, in her 9Sd year. She was
the oldest resident Of the town, and had
lived there longer than any person in it.
She was born July 9Th, 1854, in Accomac
county, Va, the lowest county on the Pen
inaula, but her parents removed to Milford
when she was only four months old. Mrs.
Greer was the daughter of Captain John
Pettegrew, an officer of the Revolutionary
army, her mother being Miss McNeal of
Snow Hill, Md. She married DIR. Mark
Greer, in 1878, and he died in 1921, SO that
she was married but eight years, and lived
a widow fifty-tive years. She had three
children, two of whom died young, and the
other in 1874, since which she has been
ohildless and alone, like some majestic
oak that defies the storms until all it's fell
lows have been swept away" She never
used a needle, made garment of any kind,
or loaf Of bread IN her life. She kept a
housekeeper and plenty of servants, but
had no taste for such matters herself. She
was reader, thinker, and a business
woman. She kept store, carried ON farm,
and was the oracle and general counselor
for all her sex in the town. She was no
gossip or tattler, but was remarkably wise,
discreet and prudent woman, capable Of ad
vising and doing it whsn so requested.
