prisoners. The plot has been in ex-

now number 400. They have powder, shot
and guns, and think themselves sufficiently

The papers further showed that this day
was selected because then the white PEG
pie would be at camp meeting unarmed
and could offer no resistance.
The meeting called for Saturday brought
together about 700 men, amcng whom
We're about 80 negroes, who, after hear
ing the papers read, by an almost unani-
nous vote decided that Jack Turner was a
turbulent and dangerous character-a
regular fire brand in the community, aud
that the public demanded his immediate
death. He was accordingly hanged about
1:15 the same afternoon in the presence of
the assembled multitude. The crowd then
disbursed and all signs of disturbance
ceased. Everything was quiet Saturday
night. The other prisoners are still in jail
to await further developments

Khedive's mother that she would like to
smarry off favorite child of the harem to

wife-a wondrous creature. OF course in

course the Bey had never looked upon her
face until after the nuptial knot was tied,
and when he did neither the countenance
nor the owner thereof was to his liking.
Two years went Dy and the Khedive's
mother perceived that the young wife was
slowly pining away. AT last the persistent
inquiry made the girl disclosed that from
the very hour of the ceremony the Bey
had declined to treat her as his wife. The
Khedive's mother perfect tigress-
fastened to his Highness and demanded
that the Bey should be put to death in

guard 1900 miles to the Soudan,
and upon his arrival the Governor
General was ordered to strangle
him; but the Governor General

The nomination of Mr.. Daniel Gould, of
Moline, for the office of county treasurer
is giving great deal of satisfaction to the
farmers throughout the county. They
know that in confiding their funds in his
keeping they are running no risk whatever.
They know that Mr.. Gould has been a
life long reliable man in every particular
They know also that he is man of varied
business experience, and that the large
sums of money given into his care will be
accounted for to the last cent. Mr.. Gould
is no experiment and it will be found
when the votes are counted that the peo-
pie who pay the taxes will have entrusted
their money to man they know will take
care of it. The office of treasurer is not
so much one of politics as the assurance
that the money of the people will not be
made away with, as has been too much the
fashion of late in certain quarters.

John M. Retlcker is developing much
more strength In the county than it was
supposed he would at the time of the con-
vention. The people of the different
towns have been inquiring into his record
as it is very proper they should, and the
more they learn about him the better they
are pleased. There is no better standard
to go by than to find out how-a man stands
at home and Mr.. Reticker's standing in
Rock Island (his home) is such that his
friends talk of giving him four hundred
majority in this city. There are many
things that enter into this contest that give
Mr.. Reticker peculiar advantage over his
opponent chief among which is that where
Morris is best known he is wea kest, while
the reverse is the case in regard to Ret
ECKER. This is an immense advantage to
start with. Perhaps Morris is not alto
gether to blame for this, but it is unfortu-
nate for him to say the least. Reticker is
one of those attentive, upright business
men who wins the respect and confidence
of all who make his acquaintance. He will
be elected.

in wonder at the first few which banged
