The ANGUS hears it stated almost daily

The ARGUS hears it stated almost daily
that the people of Rock Island county are
not going to elect a treasurer upon the
sympathy plan. They are going to elect
Dan Gould, of Moline, man who goes
before the people on his merits. Mr..
Gould is strongest where he is best known,
while his opponent is weakest where he is
best known. This is just the difference
between the two men, and Flemjng's only
hope of success lies in the fact of a repub-
lican majority in the county, and that he
is not known by large number of the
people.

The Christian at Work pities all profess
ing Christians who sneer at the idea of
lchristianizing the Indians, and credits
them with "a loose screw somewhere, eth
er in the head, the ear. or the pocket" 1t
goes on to show that the mission in the In
dian territory has now grown until there
is "a roll of 5000 members, made up from
Cherokees. Chectaws, Creeks, Chickasaws
and Seminoles. There are about thirty
regularly ordained ministers in connection
with this mission most of whom are Indi-.
ans. Besides these, there are about one
hundred and twenty local preachers. Some
ofithe converted Indians are said to make
quite as good church members as some
white folks do, which we firmly believe.
