Rev. A. {. Walker.

The Louisiana Journal saws: "We
learn with deep regret that Elder A.
c. Walker has accepted call from
the Christian Church at Mexico, and
will take charge Immediately. Less
than two years ago Elder Walker
came into our midst and in this brief
space of time by his deeply spiritual
life, his devotion to his calling, his
self-forgetfulness and gentle DISPOSE
ton, he has bound himself not oniy
to his own church, but to our citi-
zens generally. A sympathizing
friend, a kind neighbor, a wise pas
tor, faithful expounder of the truth,
we shall not be likely soon to supply
his place.

Editors Herald:
The shallow pate editor of the ex-
headless is off again. He tried to
publish the Edmunds bill in yester-
days daily fabricator and failed, for
the VeIy reason that it is an utter
1mposslbility for that brainless con-
Germ to publish anything correct
that concerns the majority of the
people here. l have not time to 90
into details, but suffice it to say
that section is entirely omitted.
section is inteTmingled with sec
ton 9. part of section 9 is omitted !:
VIZ: provided said board of FIVE
persons shall not exclude any per-
son otherwise eligible to vote, from
the polls on account of any opinion
such person may entertain on the
subject OF bigamy or polygamy."
Now Mr.. Editor, it is the uni
versal opinion that such omission
was intentional, and done for eff
feet. If not intentional why was it
not corrected in this mornings is
sue? l suppose it was done to make
some of the broken down politicians
feel better, to think they had now
for sure got their fingers in the ter
ritorial treasury, and that they had
none to modest orImake afraid, when
they would have that much coveted
treasure under their manipulation.
If the shallow pate has any brains
left l trust he will explain.

POLAR EXPLORER.

The Peoria Freeman has the following
account of Lieut.. Schwatka, who recently
married Miss Ada J. Bracket of this city:
The lieutenant will be remembered as
being at the head of a Polar expedition
that started out on the 10Th of June, 1878
in search of records and remains of part of
the crew that accompanied the fatal ex-
pedition of Sir John Franklin. The lieu
tenant is an old Galena boy and former
schoolmate of Mr. J. Barnes, of the Jour
nal In 1862 his father removed to Ore
gon. He is a graduate of West Point and
is SO years old, well preserved, and fine
looking man. After the big Sioux war,
time hung heavily on the hands of young
officers, and they sighed for some
thing new. Lieutenant Schwat-
ka, hearing that a Polar expedi-
ton was being fitted out, with the object
as above stated, went to president Hayes
and asked permission to accompany it.
Hayes referred the request to his cabinet,
and it was granted. The expedition was
about TO fail on the account of funds, bat
the lieutenant, not to be daunted, furnish
ed the deficiency from his own purse and
when the expedition sailed he went as its
commander. He sailed as far north as his
ship would go. He had secured the serv..
ices of Esquimaux hunters, and with sled
ges and dogs and thirty days provisions,
he pushed north over the fields of ice and
snow and was absent eleven months and
twenty days. After his provisions were
exhausted. he relied solely upon the flesh
of reindeer, musk OK, seals and walruses.
He demonstrated one very important fact
on this sledge expedition--that men could
exist on meats alone, and no vegetables,
and not be bothered with scurvy, as not
man was attacked with this disease, the
most dreaded by all arctic explorers. His
search was not in vain, for he discovered
the remains of Lieutenant Irving, of the
Sir John Franklin expedition, and convey
ed them back to England. For this he
was offered decoration by the English
government but was not allowed to receive
the honor by congress, as he was an officer
of the United States army The lieuten-
ants headquarters are at Fit. Van Couver's,
Washington territory, where he viii go
from here.

ON WHEELS.

w. Rose, the bicycle tourist from Dan
vile, H., arrived in this on Sunday en-
route to the Pacific coast. He departed
from Daville two weeks ago, and travels
during the day and rests at night at some
farm house along the way. He is alone,
although when the trip was first planned,
he expected that he would be accompanied
by companion. He covers about fifty
mile per day, which depends largely
on the condition of the roads. Some days
he makes as high as seventy miles while
other days he fails to make forty miles.
During the overland trip he is engaged in
writing his experience and general letters
about the country through which he
passes for the Cincinnati Gazette, India
napolis journal. ST. Louis Globe Democrat
and a number of weekly papers. He ex
poets to reach San Francico by the 10th
of November, and should the weather
prove favorable he will arrive at his dis
tination before the date. He is a young
man, and engages in the trip as much out
of spirit for adventure, as for any money
that may be made out of his overland
Journey.

"KErcHo CAUGHT.

B. Kitchingman, better known as
"Ketch, on his arrival at Rock Island last
Friday evening, found waiting for him at
the Harper House package containing a
hat, expressed from his friend Diffenbaugh.
The express tag showed that the parcel
came from Minneapolis, and Ketch, know
ing that his friend would send him nothing
but a four dollar Stetson fall hat, he was
highly delighted. After supper, before
opening his express box, he went over to
Liberman, the halter, and countermanded
the order for his fall hat, as he said he had
already received one from his friend Diffen-
baugh. He remarked to Liberman that if
his new hat was not the right color or size
he would like to exchange it with him.
Liberman replied that he would be only
too glad to do so for an old time friend.
Ketch being anxious to try on his new hat,
hurried back to the hotel, paid the express
charges. 1.50) and opened the box before
the guests and clerks of the house, when.
10 and beholdi the box contained nothing
but dilapidated, worn out, good moth
ing three cent straw hat. AS the truth
dawned upon him that he had been badly
sold, he grabbed his hat and rushed madly
down the street to interview Liberman and
renew his order for fall hat. Smith, the
agent for the United States Express compa
ny. says he knows nothing about it. The
curiosity is on exhibition at Mike & Bob's
place.

general satisfaction to the travelling public.
Superintendent Hakes, of that line, will

from this city to Milan and Black Hawk
tower will be completed, and the road will
be ready for business at an early day.
Some delay was occasioned by the nom

place.

Messrs. Heagy s. Stoddard of Hampton
have struck coal in their mine at Nation.
The Commercial of that place gives the
particulars of the find as follows:
Several DAYS ago at the shaft they com
menced drilling, about II o'clock Tuesday
night the sinkers before they were aware
struck vein of coal at a depth of 904
feet and had penetrated into it several
inches before they were aware. Work
was suspended aud Mr.. Stoddard was sent
for and he descended into the shaft and
conducted the drilling in person and
passed through two feet and ten inches
of coal additional He is satisfied that
there is full three feet of coal or over
The roof is composed of tough slate
while underneath the coal is a bed
of fire clay, the thickness of which is I'M
known. Mr.. Stoddard is delighted and
says that this vein of coal will pay much
better than the usual veins of four and a
half feet. The small shaft is to be sunk to
the vein of coal, being about thirty three
feet and will take about fifteen days.
This is done in order that there may be no
as this is accomplished and the vein proves
to be as thick as the drilling shows then
the huge machinery will be placed in posi-
ton and the remaining portion of the shaft
will be carried down as rapidly as ma
chinery and muscle can do it. The COM
pany estimate that by December first
coal will be hoisted from the Nation coal
mine
