CORDOVA'S COMPLAINT.

CoRDoYA ILL.,, March 25th, 1881.
To the Daily Argus:
Mr.. EDITOR Public attention should
be called to the question of preventing the
overflow of some Of our best farm anc
grass lands on the Meredosia bottom.
1t is believed that with an expenditure
of from FIVE to eight Thousand dollars ths
water could be shut off by raising the
wagon road to q level with the railroad a,
the Mississippi end of the Mcredosia and
putting in food gate at the draw.
How is the money to be gotf i The
county used some two thousand dollars oi
the swamp land fund belonging to Cordovs
township in paving the Court House
Souare which should be refunded. There
is some six hundred dollars, now 10 the
hands of the supervisor 10 money and
notes. The board of supervisors should
provide the balance. Ii would only be
ioaning a .few thousand dollars to be re
funded ia the shape OF taxes In o shor,
time. So small an expediture will ado
thousands to the assessed value OF sac
anas.
Some may say let the land owners DO
the improving as they real.zs the import :
anee of the work. This would hardly De
fair. as every one knows that to depend on
private donations from the parties most
interested would make it unequal
and that they are not all in condition
financially, to make the improvement
besides. il would be unfair to burden
them with this improvement. and
then let the county at large reap the oene,
it of the same in the increased value ano
additional taxes.
I have been informed by representa-
five men from Whitesid county. that theii
county would improve the Rock river end
of the slough; provided Rock lslanc
county would improve the Mlssissippl END

PeStllencc and War;


The atmosphere was peculiarly clear last
night, and doubtless the whole population
turned out to take "a look at our new celestial
visitor, which was blazing in full effulgence
i'll the northeastern section of the heavens. A
reporter Of THE CRITIC called upon Dr. II
Hammond, of 625 Fourth street northwest.
to tell him something about the comet. DR..
III. has had prepared a large chart of the
heavens, pictorially illustrated, with a
view of showing the exact position of the
comet. This comet is in the constellation
OF Auriga, and is now rushing toward tho
sun at the rate of about four degrees in
twenty-four hours. 1t is southwest from
the star Capella about 15o, and north of the
star Betelgeux, in the constellation of Orion,
about 25', and northwest of the star Aide
baran in the Bulls Eye (sign of Taurus)
about 26o. The comet may best be seen
about q. m. in the northeast about 3Os
: above the horizon. Its disk is apparently
about the size of mans hand half doubled
up, and its trail apparently about the
length of walking stick The position of
the comet, geographically speaking, is nearly
4Oo of north latitude and 800 of west longi-
tude. Ii may be of some comfort to those
nervously inclined, to state that the mral
visitor is not expected by the savants to
do any smashing of earthly things.

TINE OPENING BANQUET SPEECHES.


When the edge of the kcenest appetite
was worn off, President Charles Ebel well
coined the assemblage in n neat speech, in
which he took occasion to thank the weather
clerk for allowing the procession to arrive
at the park dry, the rain not commencing
until after they arrived there. He
hoped that his hearers would not let the
rain dampcn their ardor, as he had n friend
in the signal Office who had promised to
regulate the weather after to-day. He en-
Joined all the committees to perform their
duties so that this festival should be second
to none yet held. He announced that he
had received notice that n large delegation
of the Schuetzen Association of Baltimore
would arrive here Wednesday.
Honorary President Simon Wolf was tho
next speaker. He reviewed the past and
compared the present as being favorable
with festivals previously held, and thanked
the Verein for the confidence reposed in
him at all times. He was proud for
having been called upon to address them
at this time, ON the eve of his
departure for Europe. After thanking them
again for their attention and wishing sue
cess for the festival and the Washington
Schuetzen Vercin for the future, he closed
with some complimentary remarks
to the officers. Toasts innumerable
followed, and thus the sixteenth annual
festival Of this admirable German organiza-
ton was formally inaugumtod.
