Ben. Stsmple ana the Wesphal Burg
laru

Ben Stemple only potif,d the police of
the intended robbery of Adam Westphal
in order that murder could be prevented.
When he was asked to assist in the burg
larry, he tried to make his confederates
give up the plan of chloroforming the old
couple and then burning them in the
house, but when he could not do this be
told them they need not expect that
success would attend them in the affair,
aud refused to talk of the matter further,
as ne did not want the blood of the aged
couple on his hands. 1t was his course 10
this matter which probably induced
Valentine to 'squeal' also, as he was
afraid if the murder was committed
he would be arrested and from
Valentine past record he has shown that
when he can make more money out Of a
dirty job by "squealing" than by remain
ing quiet be will do so. Valentine is a
hard-charactcr and if he succeeds in get
ting clear this time his best policy would
be to leave the country.
The course Stempie took in the matter,
in preventing murder, is sommendable,
and every good citizen will think better of
him for it. If the burglars had not in
tended to murder the old couple he might
have been induced to participate in the
burglary, but when they planned to muir
der an old couple, he was not yet hardened
enough by sin and evil companions to ac-
quiesce IN the murderous plans. He now
has a chance to become an upright and
honorable man, and many who, heretofore,
would not recognize him will now give him
a helping hand VIII he reform? Let
him answer for himself.

THE REFORM CLUB OF coRDovA
S one of the Unions Misrepresentation
Exposed.

CoRDovA, Ills Sept. 18TH 1876
To the Editors of The Argus
Permit me to give the facts about the
Tilden Reform meeting in Cordova, on
Thursday evening the l4th, inst.in reply to
the CARRIED report of the Cordova cor
respondent of the Union. He was evidently
surprised to see so large an audience pre-
sent to hear the speech of Mr.. O'Mara,
which, by the way, was a very good effort,
and made an excellent impression on the
audience, He probably did attempt to
count the people present as it was quite
a different matter to the counting of an
audience composed of one .Ianitor before
whom he ventilated his eloquence the
previous Saturday, and hence the confusion
of the correspondents count of the un-
washed as he calls the men who vote for
Iilden and Reform, but such comtemptuous
illusions coming from a supporter of
Grantism and applied to laboring men is
perhaps natural enough, since they are
trying to keep men in Office who have
doubled their salaries while the honest
working people find it difficult to obtain the
common necessaries of life
The Tilden Reform club of Cordova is
composed of men who work Cor a living,
and of course cannot afford to put on much
style; the reward of labor is SO limited be-
cause of the internal corruption, peculation
and NAL administration Of our public af,
fairs by the leaders of Grantism that hon
est men are economizing their means even
at the risk of being called the unwashed. >
The remarks Of Mr.. Zimmerman were
also very shamefully garbled in the report.
MIR Zimmerman was called for and respond
ed by saying that the Republicans could 10
longer tolerate an honest man among them,
and instanced the denosing of Mr.. Sumner
from the foreign affairs committee because
he foiled Grant. Babcock & Co., in their
St. Domingo scheme of plundering.
Friday morning, after the meeting, a
challenge was put up in the post office for
discussion with any one of the Tilden
club. For the present we think we can do
better than furnish audiences for ''emi-
men" Republican speakers. When circum-
stances alter they can no doubt be accom-
modated. INCoG.

B. &. K,mhall in Trouble.


In 1869 B. II. Kimbal was appointed
by the late county judge (John M. WILSON,
guardian for the Forcelius children and
gave bond for 81 600 with j. r. Johnston as
security. Mr.. Kimball borrowed from the
estate Che says by consent of Judge VIII
sony money which, with interest to the
present time, amounts to $760. SO. When
he borrowed the money he was in business
and was generally supposed to be good for
that amount,-but he really was iu failing
circumstances and finally became unable to
pay. Judge Guyer ordered additional
security or payment and removed Kimball
and appointed A. f. Cutter in his place.
Kimball said he was not able to give addi-
tional security or to pay the debt, and the
court ordered his arrest and commitment
to Jail for contempt. Mr.. Kimball was ar.
rested by Deputy Sheriff Silvis and
committed to Jail until his at
torneys Sweeney and Jackson) pro-
cured from Judge Peasants, of the cir

he was released, and hearing will prob

IN this state or motor whether court ha
power to imprison man who is unable t
pay what he owes, and who is guilty of n,

but who, because Of poverty,is really unabl

1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Kimball tina
he ever borrowed or used one cent of tn
trust funds belonging to these poor or
phans. He should have loaned the none

security, and guarded it as sacred trust

DEFICIENT NUTRITION produces anamia
or poverty of the blood arising from i'm
perfect or chronic disease, and is not con-
fined to any particular class of life or sex.
People who suffer from hemorrhage, and
females who menstruate excessively are
among the chief sufferers. Analysis of
the blood reveals according to the dura-
tlon of the sickness) marked deficiency
in the red corpuscles with probably a d.
nlinution Of fbrine and a poverty of al
bumen in the liquor sangulnis. To effect
cure, proper attention must be paid to

SUPERVISOR Red, of Moline.


When D. 0. Reid was elected super
visor of this township he was frequently
heard to remark that when the board was
in session be intended to have business
done in different style than was usual
and he limited that he intended to run
the board. Now, how is 1t that Davy has
never succeeded 10 running the board
as he Dragged he would? Instead, he has
had to take a back seat on every occasion
first, IN regard to the equalization
'ot the assessment, and then on the last
day of the late session. These are only
two cases In the last case Davy tried
hard to get the salaries of the circuit
clerk, county clerk, and the sheriff, with
deputy hire, fixed at a larger amount than
the board approved OF, as he thought that
the Republican candidates for two of these
would be elected this fall and that it would
be better thing for the party if they got
good salaries-they could come down
tor political purposes much better He
was also assisted in his efforts to secure
high salaries for the county officers by
County Clerk Cook and Levi Harson. the
candidate for circuit clerk. The latter
made speech in which be described the
iaDorlOuS work reqireu OF the circuit clerk
forgetting that the present incumbent,
Geo. ID. Gould, has never done any very
''laborious work since he held the Office.
Davy got mad aud said it was all Demo
cratic spite work, started by THE ARGUS,
and called en- his Republican friends to
vote for high salaries-for the good of 'the
party. But Davy couldn't even run
his Republican friends-and they snubbed
him again by voting with the Democrats,
reducing the salaries of the three county
officers in the aggregate to the amount of
$4,000 below what our ''fggerin" supervisor
wanted to make them RIVERSIDE.
