The Poor Old Rockford.

The Railroad Gazette of the 9th a pa
per devoted principally to advertising has
an editorial on the poor old Rockford
which is evidently inspired from an Oster
berg point of view, and which closes as
follows:
Hereafter, if they the new owners] do
not get satisfactory results, it must be the
fault of the property or the fault or their
own management"
All the present impecunious managers
care for is to feather their own nests.
They are utterly incapable of making the
road pay even operating expenses, and
their own auditor. Mr.. Whitehead testi-
fed in the U. s. Court, in Chicago, on the
last trial, that the road had not come with
in $4,000 of paying running expenses
since Osterberg, Skinem & Co took pos
session. All o. Skinem & Co want is to
make some money for themselves; that's all
they care for; the interest of the owners is
the las. thing they care for. Run her on
time or run her to hell. IL the order they
gave to their employees. With snch reck
less management as that the owners need
never expect to see one cent of their mon
ey back again.

Many of these were removed from other
cemeteries.
The number for 1876 is up to June /.
From a careful estimate, and after
deducting the removals, and the inter-
ments from outside of the city,-an1 add
ing the number Of interments from the
city in Calvary, 1.-THE Catholic cemetery
adjoining, it is found that the average
mortality in the city of Rock Island has
been within fraction of II per cent. per
annum Of the population; while tie tables
Of mortality for Chicago. st. Louis, Gin
cinnati, and other cities, show an average
of from 2 to q per cent, thus proving,
what has always been claimed by our citi-
zens, that we have the most healthy city
in the west. This fact was shown by U.
s. army statistics from the time Of the
occupation of Fort Armstrong, on the
Island of Rock Island, in 1916, to the day
of its abandonment, in 1886.

The above, clipped from the Rock Island
ARGUS, reveals course of meaness that
we had not supposed any railroad corpora
ton equal to. Honesty and truth are
usually sought after. but here we find
deception and fraud commanding a
premium and the Indignation of the

the truth. We have the testimony be-
fore us to prove the assertion that this
general manager threatened to remove
every engineer on the road From the
statements made in The ARGUS, it would
seem that the public had enough to contend
with in the dangerous condition of the road
without adding to it the more certain dan
ger that attends incompetence and igno-
rance. 1t is an old saying that troubles
never come singly, and certainly in this
instance it would seem that there is an
accumulation of troubles of so vile a
nature that nothing could be worse, hence
any change would be desirable. We shall
look for further developments with

that to 0adtiSe, not deplete, the sick is the

underwent course OF treatment that often had the
effect of exhausting their few remaining energies.

remedies with q weakening reaction, were fire.

little affair of honor there the other day,
and oil the interested parties are bound to
secrecy, so of course we use fictitious
names, and give such descriptions as will
mslead rather than point out the real
actors. Of course there was q woman in

moments of anger. The other we call
George and impulsive, and, as
"our set say, "a splendid fellow" drives
the best livery rigs and sports glossy cuffs,
has light springy step, and considers him

George to see the above mentioned lady
smile on the gentle Thomas, and.on an un-
lucky day, they met in the wash room, and
somehow the innocent woman became the
topic of conversation. as is usual in such
cases. Thomas, as the name indicted,
doubted the classic Georges veraciiy, and
so said, being particular to express his
opinion in the shortest possible terms.
Then there was little game of knock
down George doing all the knocking and
Thomas the down business, Ia Harry
Smith in Bob Brearly. Thomas climbed
over into the back yard, while the victorious
George padded his little canoe across the
Rock river. And from the parlor came the
gentle strains of the piano accompanied by
these words: He who fights and runs

"City of the Dead"

We are indebted to 2. L. Mitchell. ESQ.
for a statement of the history of Chip
piannock which will be read with interest
by all our people:
In May 1855, eleven gentlemen. all
then citizens of Rock Island, viz: Chas.
Buford, Holmes Hakes, VIM. L, Lee,
Fl. A. Porter, J. M. Moore, s. s. Guyer.

way, feeling the great aud growing want OF
suitable resting place for the dead, and
having an opportunity of purchasing the
beautiful grounds leo acres) now known as
the Chippiannock Cemetery, at suitable
distance from the city and in every respect
adapted to the purpose, very wisely
secured it. The ground was formely a
portion of the corn fields Of the Sac and
Fox Indians, many of the. 'squaw hills
being still visible.
After obtainingi liberal charter from
the legislature, they organized under the
name of the. ''Chippiannoek Cemetery
Association" with a capitali stock O.
$4,000, which was expended in purchas
ing the grounds, laying out (by skilfu
engineer) and grading the Avenues, build
ing the Keepers Lodge, Receiving Vault
fencing, &c. When.the association tool
possession Of the grounds they were covered
with native forest. trees, to which has beer
added thousands of evergreens, and ever,
yarity of tree and shrub that will grow il
this climate.
The association has expended for labo
and improvements, since the organization
about $4,000 and contemplates making
many other and important improvement
as fastas funds will justify it.
The managers fixed the price of lots S
low as to be within the reach of every one
and as consequence .they have sold 46
private lots for the aggregate sum Q
S22, 057.93, the lots averaging SAL 2
each,-very many of which have been i'm

The natural beauty Of the grounds
not surpassed by any, and the improve
