was very emphatic in his declaration
against an election. He was of opinion
that the county clerk, judge and treasurer
held over until 1884, and could see no rea-
son for thinking otherwise. why said
Harson, ''the amendment is in force from
the time of it's adoption. and is not retroac-
tive. 1t states that these officers shall be
voted for in 1882, and how anyone can
think otherwise is a mystery to me. The.
only ground for calling an election in No
yember is in the law prohibiting the legis
1ature from extending the terms of county
officers, and even this law does not in my
opinion conflict with the amendment. be-
cause the latter changes the time
and expressly states when the officers
shall be voted for. know that Attorney
General Mccartney takes opposite views.
and so do some others, but some of the
best lawyers in the state contend that it
would be illegal to cali an election in No

expressly provides that these officers shall
hold over until their successors are elected
or appointed, and that would seem to set
tie it in my mind.

OBITUARY
Death of Hon. Joseph Knox
on Saturday.
Meeting of the Rock Island
County Bar.

Last Saturday night newsof the death
of Hon. Joseph Knox was received in this
city. His death occurred in Chicago, to
which city he had removed from Rock
Island at the commencement of the civil
war. The deceased was an old resident Of
Rock Island, as he was regarded as the
first lawyer to have settled in this city
This event took place in 1910. From that
time until 1850 Mr. Knox continG.,.. to
make Rock Island his home, and was en-
gagged in the legal profession, his practice
covering the several counties that then
constituted the judicial circuit. Mr.. Knox
was associated with ]. w. Drury in the
practice of his profession, the partnership
continuing until the latter was elected as
circuit judge A dissolution of partnership
occurred and Mr. Knox was the senior
member of the firms of Knox s. Webster,
and Knox. Reed G Webster.
In 1862 Mr.. Knox removed to Chicago,
where he engaged in the legal profession,
forming partnership with j. V. Eustace,
afterwards Judge of the Dixon Circuit, and
Charles H. Reed. late District Attorney for
Chicago. Mr.. Knox was always regarded
rs fine lawyer, while his elocutionary
powers were also clearly marked. He had
many warm personal friends in this city as
weIl as in Chicago.
He leaves two children, besides a brother
and relatives.
The remains win arrive this evening and

While we have had more precise and more nearly complete knowledge of the birds of New England than we have yet acquired of those of any equal area in the United States it is nevertheless a fact that we possess no treatise which ade- quately reflects our present understanding of the subject. It is the object of the present treatise to go carefully over the whole ground and to present, in conc1se and convenient form, an epitome of the bird-life of New England. The claims of each species to be considered 8 member of the New England Fauna are critically examined, and not one is admitted upon insufficient evidence of it's occurrence within this area :; the design being to give thor oughly reliable list of the birds, with an account of the leading facts in the life-histo- ry of each species. The plan of the work in cludes brief descriptions of the birds them selves, enabling one to identify any specimen he may have in hand the local distribution, migration and relative abundance of ev- cry species; together with as much general information as can conveniently be brought within the compass of handbook of New England ornithology. This volume is soon to be followed by second, which will com plete the treatise. Published by Lee & Shep- ard, Boston, and for sale in this city by H. H. Pack
