People who visit Rock Island Arsenal
aud violate the rules have disagreeable
experiences. 1t is related that a couple OF
young men who visited the Arsenal recent
ly on business were walking where pedest-
rians are not allowed, and the guard called
to them to stop; whereupon they took to
their heels. The guard again called to
them to stop or he'd fire, and they halted
so suddenly that one of them tumbled into
ditch Then both were marched to the
guard house, where they were detained fol
an hour or two and finally had their passes
taken away from them. People who visit
the Arsenal should remember that rules
are necessary and that they must be strict

How Krell Managed Public Business.

Wnen hrell was called on 10 maui over
to the new supervisor the cash in his hands
belonging to the town (S5S0,58) it was
found that he had loaned the money, and
he had drawn up note from the party to
whom he had loaned the peoples money
and endorsed it himself, and proposed to
turn it over to the new supervisor. The
note was dated last Saturday-the day he
turned over the public books and business,
The new supervisor declined to.take any
thing but cash, as he did not think he had
any right to loan the peoples money-it
was his business to keep it and have it
ready any moment it might be needed.
The result was that Krell had to give his
check for the amount, and Mr.. Aster de-
posted the check in the Peoples National,
taking pass book.
When did Krell loan the money? Has
he ever collected any interest? ifso what
became OF the interest so collected?
Here is another item: When Krell
turned over the order book it was found
that more than hundred orders were miss
ing and on the stubs no entry is made
as to what was done with the orders. How
is this? No order should eyer be taken
from the order book unless the stub shows
when it was done and why. There may
be nothing wrong-Mr. Aster thinks there
is not, and requested US to say nothing about
the money or the order book, but Mr..
Aster is not editing THE ARGUS This
paper will be very likely to tell the people
all about their own business-or ali it can
leara about the peoples business. Public
officers should learn that they have no
right to manage public business on the
principle that it concerns nobody but
themselves; no right to say I've given
bonds and I'll do as | like" 1t is very
rare that any bond is worth cent Sharp
lawyers can generally drive cart and
oxen through any bond Almost every
day we hear Of county treasurers using
, public money when they get in "a tight
place" and turning out defaulters, and
their bonds, through some technically,
turning out worthless. No public officer
should use or loan a cent of the people s
money.

Excelsior Manufacturing Co., Chicago.
This really useful invention is labor
saving, and cannot fail to prove popular
with housekeepers. The Excelsior, not
only tightens the carpet properly but tacks

method OF getting down on ones knees to
perform the work. The company solicits

to great extent, a self-educated man.
He united with the Presbyterian church at
Balston, n. Y, in 1922, but his theologi-
cal knowledge being but slight, and his
mind easily confused. he became UuiYer-
salist after 4 severe mental struggle. in
1925, and soon q preacher of his new
creed. He entered boldly into schemes of
political reform, wrote much, and edited
papers and periodicals 10 defense of his
views; but he was still In state of unrest.
and, being attracted by DIR. Channing's
writings, became a Unitarian pastor in
1882, and devoted himself to the study of
the French and German literature, philo-
sophy, and theology. Pushing onward, he
soon landed in the socialislie views of
Robert Owen, though still clinging to
some of his earlier religious convictions.
He organized the society for Christian
Union and Progress in Boston in 1896,
and retained the pastoral charge of it till
he ceased preaching in ls43. The same
