forth, at noon to-day November Is. 1871
announcing The death, at O'Clock this
morning, ID bis native town, Barnard.
Windsor county, Vermont. Of Hon. Joseph
B. Danforth, Of lang fever. Judge Dam
forth was born November s, 1875. and
was. consequently little over 50 years of
age. Before coming to this city to reside
be had been prominent as public man, in
his native county, having been twice a
member of the legislature, twice a mem
Dor Of constitutional conventions, twice
elected to the Office of Judge Of Probate
in his district, as we'll as holding other
minor county and town offices. He came
to Rock Island IN 1852. and early in the
administration of President Pierce he was
appointed Route Mail Agent on the
G. e. /. & P. r. r. between this city and
Chicago, which Office he held until
the election of President Lincoln caused
political changes to be made. He was
then, in 1861, taken up as the Union can
didate for County Judge, 10 this county, and
elected as the successor of Judge Lynde,
which ofice he held for four years. In
1865 he returned to Vermont where he
has since resided at the old homestead and
in the house he built nearly forty years
ago.
Judge Danforth was a man of ability, Of
unbending integrity, and discharged the
duties of every position in life with honor
and uprightness. He was consistent
christian and an honored member, in Yer
mont, of the Congregational church, anC
in this city, of the Central Presbyterian
church. In politics he was firm and de
cided Democrat.
Mrs. Danforth died October 18th
1875, aged little over so years.
Three sons survive, viz, Col. j. B. Dan
forth. Jr., of this city, Charles E. Dan
forth, Esq, Of New York City, and Hon
VIM. G. Danforth, of Barnard.
The funeral of Judge Danforth will tax,
place on Sunday.

Charging Fraud.

The following, taken from the Gales
burg Press, hits the Union squarely be-
tween the eyes, and will probably make it
squirm:
Our Mercer county neighbOrs Of the
Aledo Record take their defeat very much
to heart, In the last issue of the Record
the following excruciatiug wall appears:
give are beaten. The democracy are jubilant.
Their lies and misrepresentation. and false
charges accomplished their work. The effort ITO
stuff the old farmers" was success. Let eIn crow.
They don't get chance often, in this county"
II is noticeable fact that aohereUer the
republicans are defeated the cry rs raised
thar there has beeu cheating or lying done
to accomplish at. This is an easy way for
defeated party TO cover its dirty tracks.

Wharfage Matters.

Under recent decision Of the U. S.
court it would seem that city is fully au
thorized to charge all boats stopping at the
levee for the convenienoes furnished them
in providing landing, but tax proper
tionate to the tonnage Of the vessel i'm
posed merely for the privilege of touching
at the wharf is not colectable. River
cities will no doubt modify their ordinances
to meet the tenor of this decision where it
is deemed advisable to keep up the plan Of
charging at all 1t seems to be debata-
bic question whether or not the true com
mercial interests of city are advanced by
continuing this mode Of assessing charges
on our river traffic.

The wisest of precautions

OF precautions, the wisest is that which
is taken against disease. There is safety
in timely medication; great peril in delay.
One maladS often begets others far more
dangerous. and il it does not, any abnor;
NAL condition has tendency, if unremedied,
to become chronic and obstinate. Trifing
disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels or
urinary organs, may speedily develop into
formidable maladies Check them at the
outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which, althoughit is wonderfully effective
in overcoming disorders of long standing,
is, ike any other mediciEal preparation,
more advantageous IN the infancy of the
nlaladies to which it is adapted than after
they have become chronic. Among these
are dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
intermittent and remittert fevers, govt,
rheumatism, nervous and general debility,
and urinary troubles. The Bitters are a
capital appetizer, induce sound repose, and
counterfeit the effects of fatigue and ex-
posure,

From the Peoria Transcript.

from lne feOr1a transcript.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat saws that
Louis Hoffman, one of the ST Louis sports
men arrested some time ago Tor shooting
and carrying game from Illinois, has had
his case brought before an East st. Louis
justice, for the purpose of making bis a
test case. Hon. Luke Hite, of East St.
Louis, and George w. Hall and John d.
johnson, of st, Louis, appeared as counsel
for the defense. Messrs. Ellison and
Broderick, of East st. Louis, appeared on
behalf of the people. An agreed case was
made of the affair. Hoffman was fined SIS,
and the case taken before the St. Louis
city court. It will come UP some time
this week. From this it will be brought
before the supreme court, but it may be
some weeks before the final decision can
be reached. Hoffman is backed up in bis
| fight by the different hunting organizations
of ST. Louis. who feel certain that the law
as regards the prohibition OF the shooting
aud carrying away OF game by citizens Of
llother states is unconstitutional They
base their opinion ON clause of the con
stitution OF the United States, Section 2,
Article 4. which declares shat the citizens
Of. each state shall be entitled to all the
privileges and immunities Of the severa
