kins as sheriff is this, and it shows how
much love Morris and his friends had for
me. Moline ought to give five hundred
republican majority, whereas my opponent,
Hauberg, came out of that city with
five majority. That shows how much
love Morris had for me. The means used
by Morris and his friends to defeat me for
the nomination this year are SO familiar to
everybody that don't think it necessary
to repeat them. So far, therefore, as he

BLASTED HOPES.

1t was reported this morning that Edward
Patterson had at last been given up to die
by his attending physician, and counsel.
Although among the first of this unfortu-
nate family to show typhoid symptoms, he
at one time seemed almost convalescent,
and forebodings regarding his case were
dispelled. What renders this news par
his complete recovery his mother had built
her fondest hopes for the future. But it
seems that this is not to be, and again we
are reminded of the eternal fact that
Man proposes but God disposes." In
this added affection Mrs. Patterson will
still realize that warm christian hearts are
beating in practical sympathy for her.

Some of the republicans in this city are
resorting to all kinds of contemplate

which they will find will not win. They
are leading people who are not informed
as to Mr. Reticker's business occupation,
TO believe that he runs saloon in Rock
Island. Now, this is false, as any one
who is posted knows. Mr.. Reticker is in

opposition to manufacture lies out OF

the mutual attempts to soothe. were so
tender and pathetic that the diamonds

embrace with Pauline, his left arm
being literally covered with lily white, a
part of the lovely Pauline's complexion
unfortunately, which made him look as if
he had been engaged as the porter of a

mirably looked after by Mr. Thomas Ford.

widely divergent channel, he frequently

undone in the dramatic line which would

WHAT DEPUTY AHKRuM SAYS.

Armed with copy OF an article in yes
terday's Union headed The County Cam
paign," an ARGUS representative called
upon Deputy Sheriff Ankrum this morning
at his eff1ce in the court house, to leara
whether he had actually ''come over to the
Lords side" as charged by our esteemed
morning contemporary. In order that
our readers may know of the silly cam
paigning undertaken by the Union, we
take the liberty of quoting from the arti-
Gle in question and of commenting briefly
thereon:
The stories industriously circulated of
classification" to this, THAT or the. ether
candidate are without foundation in fact.
The only Justification that exists is con-
fiued to the personality of j. E. Ankrum,
q man with grievance. He is making
war" on Capt W. G. Morris, the nominee
for sheriff, because he is very sore over
his own failure to gain a denomination.
Mr. Ankrum is man without party 10y
atty or regard for his own political obliga-
tions. He has been place holder so long
that he has got the notion that he has a
sort of divine right to office.
The Union starts in, it will be observed,
with denial of the stories of disaffection
within its own ranks, and in the next
breath charges Mr. Ankrum with '-disaf-
lection" Answering this paragraph Mr..
Ankrum said: II have
always been republican and
shall continue to be one. but am opposed
to Morris election, and as such have bolted
this particular nomination. If am a
place seeker, what can be said of Morris,
who has been a chronic candidate for office
ever since any one can remember. My
first Office came unsolicited l was APP
pointed to the police force by Mayor Calf
about eight years ago, and held the office
about two years Subsequently was ap-
pointed constable to fill vacancy. From
that time till the present the people know
how much of place l have
been"

he gained the nomination for coroner over
Capt. Morris, and received the latters

signed the Office of sht riff Mr..

would have 10 sign leases, though eighteen
who were not tenants were given work. Twelve

About seventy were engaged in New Hope and

the number formerly employed In tho two
mines being between two and three hundred.
Six men were refused outright. Some OF tho
