Inrratitnda of a Trnmn.

On Tuesday, the 2lst, tramp met Mr..
d. w. Taft, clerk in Buford & Taylor's
store, on the street and saluted him. Mr..
Taft recognized him as Willard Skinner
young man whose parents lived in La
Crosse He was sick. poorly dressed and
without money or friends, and Mr.. Taft
took him to his house and kept him, From
Tuesday until yesterday noon he was in
bed, but yesterday, after Mr.. Taft had gone
to work, be got up and started up town.
In the evening it was discovered that the
scoundrel had gone off with Mr.. Taft's
silver watch worth $S5 and all the change
he could find in Mrs. Taft's purse, aud
probably other things. The thief is about
10 years of age. light built, about SIS in
height, has very long neck, and is suffer
ing with the fever and ague. His conduct,
after the kind treatment he had received
from Mr.. Taft and his family, shows that
he was incapable of the least spark of graft
tude, and if caught will be punished to the
full extent of the law.

The Rolling Mill and Nail Factory.

From present appearances Mr.. Beynon
who proposed to build rolling mill and
nail factory at any place wherethe people
would subscribe $4,000 to assist the en-
terprise, is fraud. A few days ago a
dispatch from Burlington announced that
at public meeting held there the citi-
zens raised $4,000 to assist the enterprise
and that Beynon had decided to locate
there, and would commence building
Immediately.
And now the Monmouth ReUieso comes
out and announces that Monmouth wins
the prize-the rolling mill and nail works"
and says:
A committee went to Burlington Tues
day and informed Mr.. B. that we were
ready to close the matter up-that the full
amount was raised. Mr., B. then informed
the committee that ''the mills belonged to
Monmouth" and that he would come on
the next day, and would also telegraph his
partners to meet him here.
| This is a plain unvarnished statement OF
the facts in the matter, and when MIR. b
comes aud makes good his public pledges
we will have more to say on the subject.
Mr.. Beynon arrived in this city yester-
day, and says the mills are to come tC
Monmouth, and we may now settle down
to the fact that Monmouth has won and
secured the prize, and that Mr.. Beynon
will faithfully stand to all the pledge;
made our citizens. Bully for the mills
bully for Monmouth-bully for BeynoD
Alta meeting of the stockholders last
Thursday night, VIM. Hanna, DR.. W. B
BOYD and George Synder were appointed
to accompany Mr.. Beynon to Cleveland t
appraise the machinery. They start to-
night. Articles for incorporation have
been sent to Springfield.
There has been numerous hints hoatin.
through the newspapers that Beynon wa

mittee had gone to Cleveland to apprais

the family, but on hearing strange voices
he got up and, stepping into the hallway,
saw two strange men standing at the farther
end Of the hall, while one of them had his
hands up in the side cupboard. As he
approached they observed him and one of
them said, Hello, boss!" Lindley re-
Piled, hello" and then asked, What are
you doing here?" Looking for hash, "

The boys at Weyerhauser & Denkman's
saw mill are greatly eiated over big
cut OF lumber which they made yester-
day-as it beats everything 10 that line
that has been attempted by any of the
mills 10 the three cities this season-or
any other time. The rotary was run by
Phil. Miller. and the gang-34 saws-bY
James Rogers. After l0hours run they cut
35,2l8 feet of lumber. One hour they cut
$4,000 feet, while between $3.50 and 6 o.
clock last evening they cut 5000.
In the evening, Mr.. Denkman, followed

Attempted TO swindle His workmen-
1t Couldn't be Done.

John Dunn, a Peoria contractor, drew
$4,000 the other afternoon, as be said, to
pay off his hands. The next morning he
made complaint to the police that the
money had been stolen, but the officers
believed it was clear case Of attempted
swindIe on Dunn's part, and accordingly be
was locked up for stealing his own money.
His bondsmen afterward settled the matter
and he was released. There is a young
woman in the case-who is said to have
got 5000 of the money, and who said she
would stick to DnDn until tle walls of HI
fell in." She was in Jail as an accomplish
to the stealing, but was released. The
workmen threaten to mob Dunn if he
shows himself, and his bondsmen will COM
plete the contract.

The Channels of Exit

From the human system bear the same
relation to it as sewers do to city. They
carry off the waste, the refuse which it is
essential to remove in order to prevent dis
ease, One of the most salutary effects of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is to renew
activity of the bowels when these organs
are dereliet in their duty. The bilious and
dyspeptic symptoms which accompany con-
stipation are also repedied by this sterling
Alternative. Its gentle cathartic action
has the effect of removing impurities
which would otherwise poison the system,
and its tonic influence is exhibited in an
increase in vital power. 1t renews appe-
tite, soothes and inyigorates the nerves,
prevents and remedies malarial fever, and
is first rate remedy for dependency.

Letter from Ranida City.

RAPIDs CRY. ILL.,, August "A, 1877
To the Editors of the Argus
Brady" was drowned at Gilchrist Il Cos
coal dumps yesterday. He was employed
by some person who had contracted to
deepen the water at the foot of the dumps,
so that the boat could come in and load
barges with coal without getting aground,
He and companion we're required to be
in the water most of the time and were
raising the sand and gravel off the bottom
so as to deepen the water. They seem to
have kept themselves supplied with whis
koy, ands Brady and his companion were
reported to be under its influence nearly
all the time. Brady was seen by parties
coming down from some OF the saloons
with a bottls of whiskey in his hand
and but short time after that he was
drowned. 1t seems he went out in the
boat they had loaded, and were emptying
out some distance from the shore, and
when the boat was unloaded Brady jumped
off and attempted to swim ashore, but
only got about half way when he sank.
The jury convened by Police Magistrate
Rowe were in session when Acting Coroner
Hayden arrived, some of the citizens haV-
| ing sent for him, Shortly after he came,
the jury returned verdict of accidental
drowning. Mrs. La Vale Of Port Byron
took the body and paid the expenses
of the funeral. Brady was young IN
married man about twenty-four years old.
His funeral will occur tomorrow, and l
understand his body will be taken to Rock
Island for interment | am glad to notice
that some parties, property holders, are
painting and fixing up their houses and
grounds. Any person who has travelled
much through little towns, situated along
the line of some railway has not failed to
notice the difference in the impression
made by houses and residences all nicely
painted and tidily arranged out doors.
Rapids City has the ground and natural
advantages to make a nice town, but will
it ever be done? say no. Old residents
don't like the way the coal trade is doing
and throw every obstacle possible in the
way of the coal operators. Consequently
the coal men, who are the only ones, with
few exceptions, who have any money,
won't lay out only such money as is really
necessary to carry on their business. 1t is
true the coal trade is in itself, monopoly,
and by its power is controlling great deal
of trade. But that don't prevent our
painting mot bit-and it does not stop
our building side walks This fall we will
be 10 the mud, as usual-and Rapids City
