The Accidental Shooting.

The accidental shooting Of Charles Will
son, 10 year old son Of Lewis Wilson, &C.
count of which appeared in Saturday s
ARGUS, turns out to be more serious than
at first reported. The wound is in the
groin and exceedingly painful. DR.. Hugett,
who is in attendance, states that if inham-
matiOe sets in serious results may follow.
The ball passed down through the flesh
barely missing the spermatic cord. At last
accounts the boy was doing we'll and no
signs of inflammation. The cartridge was a
No. % Colts pistol, small and less danger
Gus. THE ARGUS extends sincere wish
that the accident will not prove fatal.

Returned.

On Saturday Capt Koehler. and to-day
John Reticker. and Cerse returned from
Trego county, Kansas, where they have been
prospecting. Each located a claim in that
country, Retiker taking farm Of $40
acres, which will be a stock farm, and
Koehler claim, near Retickers. The par
ties speak in glowing terms of the climate,
the only objection being the scarcity Of
timber. The absence of this material is
made up 10 part by the abundance Of mag
nesia limestone, which is used quite extern
sively for building porposs. About two
miles from Retlcker's farm, on Smoky
river there is plenty of Cedar timber but
no other kind; nearly all the timber land
has been pre-empted, The climate is ex-
cellent, game plenty, and soil good. It
looks as if Rock Island would. furnish
some citizens for Kansas in the spring.

Not at all Surprised,

When we consider the little attention
that is paid to the laws of health, we are
not surprised at the indifference manifest
ed by many persons in relation to the
purity of daily food. If all articles were
pure and good as DooLEY's YEAST Pow
DER, this indifference might answer; their
perfect wholesomeness would insure us
against all evil consequences.

County Court.

The man O'Brien who has been in jail
since Friday evening on charge of riot,
was not brought before Judge Adams to-
day as was expected, on account of the

RaciprocitY.

If there is any one thing more than
another that the peddlersof Davenport
are interested in, at this time, it is recipro-
city between the two cities. The circuIn-
stance that brings this question 50 fcrclbly
to their attention at this time is the arrest
Eof a man named Harrison for peddllng
oysters in this city. This man Harrison
claimed to be acting under license
granted to Mr.. Gest, of this city. Hesaid
that he peddled ne-half of the day in
Davenport foraNoei & Co. and the other
half of the day for Mr., Gest He was
notified seyeral. times that it wasnecessary
for him to have a license in his own name.
After repeated refusals to comply he was
arrested and fined $25 and costs. He
protested against this fine and the matter
will be submitted to the city council this
levening. Now comes the cry from Day
export for reciprocity, amity and good
feeling between the two cities This is
certainly refreshing. The kind of reeip-
rocity that Davenport claims is all on one
side. They are strongly 10 favor of any
thing that will contributea.to Davenport,
and at this point reciprocity ends with
them. When Rock Island people do all
their trading with Davenport merchants,
when they patronize Davenport fairs,
shows and entertainments, the city of
Davenport feels very amiable. 1t is then
they are full of reciprocality. How many
of the citizens of Davenport ever come to
this city to trade, attend our fairs, or
shows? We venture not a dozen even
win come to our Opera House opening,
Do the citizens of Davenport know what
started this peddlIng matter? About a
year or SO ago Blanchard & Bailey of this
city took out a peddler's license in Daven-
port, All they did under this license was
to peddle to the stores They were allowed
to operate under their license for about six
moaths, when the city Of Davenport ar
Irested Mr.. Blanchard and made him pay
1910 per month for the privilege OF peddline
to the stores in Davenport. Now the ped,
dlers in Davenport are getting just what
they are crying about-reciprocity; and
when all of our citizens serve the mer-
chants of Davenport, the fairs entertain
meBts, etc., as they serve US, then, and
not till then, will they appreciate that reel
procity, amity and good feeling about
which we are hearing so much at this tune
Reciprocity, amity and good feeling is wha
we all want. But we want the clanish and
) puritan people of Davenport to under
, stand that Rock Island has not yet reached
| that degree of perfect christianity which
0 enables all of US to turn the other cheek io
, lher willing blows, or empty the other peck
g ct into her Golfers, which already contain
the contents Of one pocket. Win our PEG
n pie who have patronized entertainments il
: Davenport so extensively, please motto
: how many from that city are present at tn

on this subject it may be we'll to remari

Some of our school children, aud posi-

be interested in the following concerning
this country, especially as the Geographic
reports are principally filled with accounts
Of the war which possibly may involve
England and Russia.
Tho greatest length of Afghanistan is
$50 miles, the least $40, while its greatest
breadth is $50 miles, and its least $40; SO
that it is rather larger than the whole of
the United Kingdom put together, 1t is
mountainous all through, with series of
elevated tiat-bottoGed valleys. 1t has DO
larges rivers, and those it contains are gen
orally fordable at all seasons, The eli
mate varies; at Ghuzui it is extremely
severe IN winter, the thermometer sinking
to 10 or Is degrees below zero, while it
always begins to freeze in October. At
Cabulin the middle of October the ther-
mometor is always below zero at night,
from June to September the climate is
very hot. At Candahar it is also hot 10
summer, but in winter the climate is per-
feet, as is also that of Quetta. All the So
called roads are shockingly bad. and there
are no bridges. The population is about
five millions, entirely Mahometans, almost
exclusively Of the Sunni creed. The regu-
lar army consist,fo Cabul. of 81 900 men:

To Keen Graft. Through the winter.

Nurserymen who cut large quantities of
CRAFTS late in autumn, keep them in boxes in
cellars, and packed in damp moss but farmers
and others, who wish to preserve few for
spring grating, may not have these appli ances
at hand. For such, simple and perfect mode
is to bury them in dry place ut of doors, in
an inverted open box. Fill the box partly full
of them, nail two or three strips across to hold
them in place, and then place the box in a hole
dug for the purpose, with open side down, aud
bury them half foot or SO in depth. They do
not come in contact with the EARTH and remain
perfectly clean; and the moisture of the earth
keeps them plump and fresh, without any dan
ger of their becoming water soaked. Crafts
which have become shriveled by exposure, are
thus restored, aud will grow. 1t is often advan-
tageous to cut grgfts in autumn, as there is no
danger of their vitality being lessened by ex-
posure to intense cold, aud it is often more con-
venient to cut them or procure them from a
distance at this time. In marking the labels
with lead pencil, remember that if the wood is
wet before writing, the names will last ten
times rs long as if written dry Rural World.
