CHANGED PARTNERS.

Last night it was rumored that A. Rea-
quasi engaged for several years as bag
gage master at the C. r, s.. P. station
in this city had left for parts unknown.
It was also stated that the absent baggage
smasher had taken with him the wife OF
]. A. Johnson who conducts shoe shop
in the postoffice block. A hasty exami.
nation of his accounts at che station re-
suited in causing each individual hair of
the agent to stand on end, for that official
thought that Reaquast had taken $3.50 be-
longing to the express company. He inn
mediately sent for the police, and officer
McCabe hastended to the depot Tele-
grams were sent to all the various cities
in the state, when it was thought possible
the fugitives might take refuge, and finally
they were found at Monmouth. They were
held by the police in that city to await
instruction from the Rock Island police.
A careful examination of Reaguast's
accounts as baggageman and messenger
showed that there was not cent missing
and the first conclusion was not founded
on facts.
j. A. Johnson was informed of the fact
that his wife had been found at Monmouth
but he intimated that she could go to
Monmouth or any other place she pleased
for all he cared.
The couple were accordingly released
from custody at Monmouth and are now
free to go where they may elect.
1t is stated that, Reaquast has wife
and several children living in this city
near the Augustoaoa college, while Mrs
johnson also leaves home and children
as well as her husband.

LOEB. THE CLoTHIER.

The clothing store of J. L. Loeb, on
Second avenue, contains one of the latest
and most complete assortments of ready
made clothing, suitings, hats and caps and
other articles to be found in first class
furnishing store, that has ever been carried
by single firm in this section of country
The prices are moderate and the sales are
as consequence, unusually large. The
ready made clothing department is chock
full of the latest style garments both in
suits and overcoats.
Peter Roach is retained in the tailoring
department, and those desiring clothes
made to order, will not only have variety
of suitlngs to select from, but win also
have them made up in the latest style.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-10-22

for the contemplated change was not the
increased inefficiency of the department,
but the personal desire of the engineer
corps to live in st. Paul. The secretary
of war issued an order for removal, and
when the situation had been explained to
him, countermanded the ORDER and retain
ed Rock Island as the headquarters.
The engineers have SO far failed to re-
port in Rock Island, and it becomes peril
nent to inquire why such order has not
been followed by the engineers. and leads
to the impression that an evasion of that
order may be contemplated in spirit, if not
in fact

PREPARED.

The following item will show that one
man is prepared for the flood, as he has
secured a miniature ark. The Peoria
Journal says:
Reed, the Gilt Edge bitters man, has
gone to Rock Island to remain a few DAYS.
He has as trim little boat as there is on
the river He paid five thousand dollars
cash for it. With it he can run all over
the west, and make incursions into the in
terror. He intends after leaving here to
run up into the upper Mississippi and do
that country. His way of travelling is
unique and practicable. and is great deal
better than the ordinary way of travelling
by rail. There is one advantage about it
too, for he can carry his own safeguard
against malaria also with him.

in this manner: Mr. Sale was a pupil in
this same school house when he was
slender STRIPPING; he grew to manhood,
and he taught other slenderl stnplings in
the same schoollhouse. Miss johnson had
been teacher in the same edifice for two
years So it was that the little school
house was surrounded by tender mem
cries, and the halo of the glory of their
youth seemed to linger with all the rosy
warmeth of sunset cloud around the spot.
So they decided that here was the appro
pirate place for hands to join as hearts had
long since done; and surrounded by the
pupils of the school, at the close of the
days session, Rev, Frank Doran made
then man aud wife.

The engineers of the Central railroad of
Georgia say: Though exposed to the
worst miasmatlc influences, going in and
coming out of Savannah at different hours
of the night, and also in spending entire
nights in the city during the prevalence OF
the yellow fever epidemic of 1874, with
but the single exception of one of us (who
was taken sick, but speedily recovered)
we continued in our usual good health-a
circumstance We can account for in no
other way but by the effect, under Provi-
dence, of the habitual and continued use
of Simmons Liver Regulator while we
were exposed to this malaria"

A GOOD REASON.

A short time ago the city council order
ed the construction of a crossing between
the Thomas and Bengston's corners OF
Market square, but no work had been done
on that proposed improvement. The pc
titioners for the crossing are at a loss to
know why the order of the council has not
been carried out.
Mayor Carse states that he countermand-
ed the order for such work for the reason
that there was no money in the city treas
ury to pay for the same. He states that
there was mistake concerning the amount
of money placed to the credit of the street
improvement department, and thatin place
of having surplus of 81, 600 the fund is
exhausted.

SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING.

In raising some money he gave sight

The draft was not honored, and the Rock

that an amicable settlement will be ar
ranged in Peoria.

THE RIVER.

The raging river ana the cOncoHItaht
flood still continues to encroaeh upon that
portion of the earth's surface which, in
ordinary seasons, is known as dry land.
The rise is steady and long continued, and
all the low land adjacent to the stream is
now covered with the water, ranging in
depth from one inch to several feet
Advices from up river points are to the
effect that still greater rise may be ex-
pected, as the volume of water at st. Paul
and lower points is increasing at an I'M
usual rate.
The river is causing material damage to
the farmers all along the valley, as they
were not prepared for the present overflow
and consequently have escaped to the high
ground with their lives.
AT CoRDoyA.
Cordova, located on the upper tier of
townships, is entirely surrounded by water
and the only mode for them to reach the
rest of the world is by steamboats, or other
water crafts. A daily packet now runs
between this city and Cordova, and all the
Intermediate points, and is doing thriving
business.
The farmers in that township have suf-
fered greatly from the water, as the hay
has about been ruined, and the corn is also
a total loss 1t would be difficult to esti-
mate the loss occasioned by the flood in
this county alone, as several of the town
ships, both above and below this city, will
sustain a severe loss by reason of the flood,
and the total will aggregate n very large
amount.
MEREDosIA.
The Mississippi river is now flowing
through the Meredosia bottom into Rock
river, and ali the farms along that slough
are more or less affected by the unusual
event. This is the third time the present
year that the ''Dosia' has been turned into
a water way. Last spring when the Rock
river experienced such high stage, the
water came from that stream through this
bottom into the Mississippi. When the
latter river had its June rise, the overflow
penetrated the Meredosia bottom and
IOUDO an Outlet III TIE MOCK IlFGI. At bAC
present time the third outflow has occur
red, and the water is once more flowing
from the Mississippi into Rock river.
AT ROCK ISLAND.
The water is slowly encroaching upon
the Ievee and has flooded all the railroad
tracks below the c., B. s. Q. depot. The
tracks for considerable distance are under
water, and the greatest difficulty is exper
fenced in passing through this waste of
water.
First avenue is flooded from Fifteenth
street as far west as Eleventh street, and is
making it's way up Fourteenth street to
Second avenue. This morning an embank-
ment was erected at the corner of Four
teenth street and Second avenue to prevent
the inundation of those thorougfares.
A number of boats were sailing about
First avenue, taking people and household
goods from some of the buildings in that
locality.

OBEDIENCE 10 ORDERS.

Some time ago the occupants of the en-
gineer's office, of the River Improvement
made an effort to have the headquarters
of that department moved from this city
to st. Paul. The citizens of Rock Island
naturally objected, as the reason assigned
