a WANDERING ITEM.

On the 22nd of last June the ARGUS
contained an account of two souls who
had been united in matrimony after years
of separation. The story set forth that
two chums at Amhust college, after
graduation loved the same girl. One OF
them was rich and the other poor Their
friendship came to an end, and the poor
young man left for the west. He amassed
a fortune, and in returning to the east on
the % of June met his old sweetheart, and
then learned that she had been true to him
and was still unmarried. The marriage
occurred, and the couple passed through
Rock Island en- route to the east
The next day or so, the item
appeared in the New York Express as q
special telegram, and soon afterwards il
went the rounds of the Chicago and St
Louis papers, always as special CORES
pence or kilograms. Finally the Daven
port Democrat copied it and gave the
Globe Democrat credit for the same, wher
if care had been taken the proper credit
would have been accorded to the Rocl

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

This afternoon at 2:15 o'clock the
Board of Supervisors was called to order
by Chairman James Taylor
On calling the roll all the members were
found present, except Supervisors Gordon,
Blomberg, Atkinson and Ritter
The reading of the minutes of the last
regular meeting was ordered and
occupied considerable time. At the
conclusion of the reading of the minutes,
and slight correction therein, A. H. Hol-
lister moved that the board adjourn for
three weeks from to-day. The motion was
seconded by Supervisor Wilson.
Mr. Reid asked that the motion be post
poned until after the settlement of the
overseer of the poor for Moline township.
On account of some irregularities in the
bond, Mr.. Reid was authorized to approve
the bond of Mr. Stevens as poor master,
when properly prepared.
The same motion was made and carried
with reference to Mr.. Sweeneys bond for
Rock Island township.
The Board then adjourned until three
weeks from the present day.

RIVER COMMISSION.

The Mississippi river commission, com
posed of Gen. Q. A. Gilmore L. S. A.
Gen c. b. Comstock, L. S. A. c. r. Suter,
ST Louis; Prof. Henry Mitchell, of the coast
survey; Maj. b. NJ Harrod, of New Or
leans, and Judge R. S. Taylor, of Fort
Wayne, Indiana, held meeting at st.
Louis last Saturday In speaking of the
meeting, an exchange of that city says;
The subjects under discussion were how
and where steamers and barges can be Oh
tanned, the methods and localities for OBJ
tanning stone to be used in weighing down
the wire mating and the brush it is to be
covered with, and the points at which work
will commence. The subject of obtaining
stone from the Ohio, Upper Missippi, va
zoo, and Arkansas rivers, came up for con-
sideration, but nothing definite was arrived
at. The strength and size of different
kinds Of wire were considered.
The commission decided that the first
work will be to rivet and hold the badly
caving banks in the vicinity of Plumb
point, so miles above Memphis. There
are 10000 feet of caving bank at Plumb
Point as near as can be estimated. AT
Providence no recent survey has been
made and until a new one is made its
estimate cannot be exact, The work will
be done at first experimentally, the bases
of construction being mat composed of
brush fastened On wire mating, the size
and strength of which has not been deter
mined on.
This construction viii receive modifica-
zion in every direction, with view of
determining, if possible, during the present
years work the precise form of construc-
ton best adopted to the work, having in
view durability and economy
The statements that the entire work
would be devoted to the levees and that a
large number of barges had been engaged,
are denied.
The commission recognizes that with the
small appropriation the work must be limi-
ted, but is satisfied that what is agreed on
will be successfully carried out.
A gentleman who has seen the wire mats
used at Cedar City, on the Missouri river,
stated that there is no question as to their
durability when loaded down sufficiently
with brush and stone.
The commission adjourned yesterday af-
ternoon, subject to the call of its president,
and Immediately afterwards the committee
on surveys met, but did nothing of impor-
tanee to the public.

A SURE PRanF.

Drunk" was the charge preferred
against Delaney Smith this morning as that
individual responded to his name before
Justice Chopper.
Il want the proofs" said Smith when
his case came up for trial
The court insinuated that the prisoner
should have all the evidence that the case
afforded.
The policeman who made the arrest then
told his version of the affair and how he
had made the arrest. 1t appeared that
Smith had purchased several articles of
tinware which he was to carry to his fam
lily. While making the journey Saturday
night, he became tired and thirsty, and
proceeded to quench his thirst with beer
and whisky. In so doing he became in
toxicated, and forgot the culinary utensils
which were left at a saloon. He arrived
at his residence minus the articles, and was
met by his mother-in-law A scene ensued
during which the intoxicated man attempt
ed to tell his mother-in-law that she was
the dearest creature on earth. The police
man heard the conversation and immed
lately made up his mind that the man was
drunk.
The court evidently thought the same
way for he fined him So and costs.

COMET RACE.

If report be true the comet has a com
panion, and will in future travel along its
way with a satellite. There must have
been a CONFUSION in the comet, as besides
the nucleus proper and the wide spread
tail, it now has tender. The Inter Ocean
states that:
A large portion of the nucleus has been
thrown off, and is travelling along as a sa-
tellite of the comet at distance of 800
miles, or at least this is the estimate given
the distance by Professor Stone, of the
Cincinnati observatory, who claims to have
first discovered the remarkable phenome-
non. The telegram announcing the change
stated that the baby comet could be seen
with the naked eye, and last night there
were more comet gazers than for a week
past, The sky was clouded, but an occa-
sional glimpse could be had of the i'm
mense material body of the comet, and
its immaterial tail rushing through
space, and either new nucleus
with a sprouting tail could be seen
toward the North Star, or else the imagin-
alton of most of the watchers got the best
of their natural senses Some claimed that
the new nucleus was only reflection of
the main body of the comet, but the cause
of the reflection they could not explain

BOAT EOU6E.

The losses incurred by the Burlington
boat club in the destruction of their boat
house have been placad at $4,000. The
insurance has been paid on that basis, and
the question now under consideration in
that place is how to erect new building.
1t is suggested that the old house be en-
larged by the addition of wings on each
side, to be used on the lower floor for
dressing and bath rooms, kitchen and pan
try, and above for billiard and smoking
rooms. By this arrangement the entire
lower floor, with the exception of the add
itions. will be used for the boats, oars, etc.
The second floor will be raised few feet,
and, of course. the roof raised accordingly
higher. A double piazza, extending across
the front and halfway round the sides, is
also prominent feature of the contem-
plated change. To do this it will be nee
essary to issue bonds for the required
AMOUNT, which can be easily placed at 6 OF
z per cent. These questions will come be
fore the club at their next meeting, and
their adoption will depend upon the action
then taken. There are many assurances OF
cooperation by prominent men of that
city and there is no doubt the boat house
will rise from its ashes larger, better, and
more perfect in its arrangement.

THE CODE.

1t appears that a physician by the name
of j. II. Baxter, whose unprofessional con-
versation with DR.. Bliss. in attendance on
the President has already appeared in print
is out with a circular addressed to all the
members OF. the profession whose names he
can secure He addressed them as Dear
Doctor" and then proceeds to give his
version of the affair, which is that he is
refused admittance to the Presidents room
The circular is printed, and is sent abroad
as an advertisement, though the claim is
advanced that this report is to satisfy the
profession of breach of the code. The
circular has reached this city. Some ply
sicians and even a few so-called newspap-
ers are taken in, but the majority who re,
ceive the circular pay no attention to it.
The plain statement of the facts as given
by the telegraph are these: DR.. Baxter
presented himself at the White House and
asked DIR. Bliss to show him (Baxter) into
the sick room
Dr. Bliss insinuated that DIR. Baxter was
seeking favor to secure the position of
surgeon general.
DR.. Baxter said you speak lie.
All this occurred in the house where
President Garfield was supposed to be
dying.
No doubt these gentlemen thought that
the patient was dying for want OF some ex-
element, and in the discharge of their
duties gave the patient something to think
about in addition to the wounds.

lief, or it would soon be too late. About
this time, January Is, 1879, DR. Whites
