The wheat lands in Dakota are
so rapidly taken up by settlers, that
nearly all the choie acreage east of
the Missouri will be occupied in a
year or twc. It's said that the next
report of the Land Office will show
that more than two-thirds of all the
sales to actual settlers this spring
and summer have been Dakota
wheat lands.

Recently the employees in Jack
son's.saw mill, in New Orleans, were
startled by seeing stream of fire fly
out of one of the logs that was being
ripped up by hungry circular saw.
When the plank dropped off black
spot was noticed on the face of the
log, which one of the men tried to
cut out, supposing it to be spike,
but the ak glanced off, and on exam
ination it was found to be an iron
shell. The shell was pried out and
found to be an eight inch spherical
with the percussion cap still on the
anvil.
No visible mark on the exterior
of the tree, which was about forty
inches in diameter, could be seen,
and the bark and about eight inches
thickness of wood had grown over
the iron. The log came in raft
from Red river, and the shell had
doubtless been projected into the
swamps bordering the river, during
the war, from some Federal gunboat
either ascending or descending the
river.

Sorgham Smith arrived from
Chircahuai few DAYS ago bringing
information that General Crook had
returned from his expedition and
was encamped on Silver Creek, al
the South end of Chircahuai, where
he reached on the 10th of june. Six
ty miles southeast of Tombstone, at
Luo Chatto, two hundred and thirty
hostiles surrendered and were
brought in by Crook who recrossed
the line last Saturday. Among the
prisoners were seyenty-five bucks,
old and sick. The balance were
women and children. 1t is believed
Crook will return and endeavor to
capture the warriors. His command
is in good fighting trim, the casual

hand and as the duties of the position are
fright in his line his next performance of
the work devolving upon him will be
characterized by the same careful and
correct attention to details which the peo-
pie remember as part of his former re-
cord.
The election of the democratic eandi-
dates for aldermen in the First. Third,
Fifth and Sixth wards, Messrs. Stengel,
Henry, Larkin and Cary is another reason
why the democratic eagle has an un-
doubted right to scream his very loudest
TO day. All are most excellent and capa-
bic men in their business relations with
this community, and each may be relied
upon to do his whole duty as an alder
man. Unfortunately one OF our most
worthy and able candidates, Mr.. ONeil,
in the second ward, was sacrificed 6y TIE
Republicans of his ward, and sacrificed
not because he hadn't been an efficient
representative, not because of any de
ticiency, but to satisfy spirit of dislike,
yes, hate. begotten long ago in his oppo-
sition to loud smelling nuisance in his
ward which was owned by Republican.
In order to defeat Mr.. O'Neil the republi-
cans didn't scruple to clip the wings of
their own candidate, Mr.. McCabe, and
unite with the Greenbackers in the sup
port of Mr.. Bennett. Un,er the cIrcum-
stances therefore, no one need wonder at
AIR O'Neils defeat and Mr.. Benefits
victory
In the Fourth ward the outcome of an
unfortunate disas feement between indi-
Lundy, the regular democratic nominee
and one of the ablest men who have ever
sat in the council. Against the republi-
can elected. Mr.. Stephen j. Collins, the
ARGUS wouldn't say a word. As boy
and man he is well known to our citizens
and if it is necessary to have few repub-
licans in the City Council we are glad that
such men as Mr. Collins, (and Mr.. Sinnet.
of the Seventh ward are chosen. The
same thing which can be truttfully said
in favor of Mr.. Collins will apply with
equal force to Mr.. Sinnet We are sorry
that ex-Alderman Kerr was defeated and
it was only brought about by putting into
the field an equally good man.

THE UNEXPECTED,

In its significantly solemn state Of mind
this morning over the election, and its
doleful lamentation under the heading
| 1.-The Unexpected, the Union reveals n
cat in the meal of huge proportions and in
view of certain preparations which had
been male for a general jubilee in The
event of republican success the ARGUS
is inclined to most heartily coincide with
the Union. 1t seems that a new water
works whistle had been ust put up with
| which it was proposed to do the honors
of the occasion for the benefit Of a re
elected republican mayor, the prepare
tions having been completed for such a
footing last night and today of the afore-
said whistle as would arouse the ''Seven
Sleepers." All night long the Union
| folks kept their eaTs-and windows, open
listening for that whistle, but nary loot
rewarded their vigilance. This is the eX-
PLANTATION OF the Unions heading this
| morning Unexpected" silence in the
direction Of the waterworks But our
mayor elect is willing 10 waive all pre-
| iiminary footing in every form and will let
his administration Of city affairs toot for
itself
BY the way, this whistle business re
minds the ARGUs OF another Joke on our
Mayor Mott was running for alderman
against the NEST fearful odds of personal
influence and money ever brought TO bear
in Rock Island in ward contest, the
opposition were so confident that he
would he defeated that IA brass band was
engaged, stationed in Turner Hall and
ordered to hold themselves in readiness
Ia sally forth as soon as the first toot
could be sounded from the Mahoney peo-
pie. Well. to make ii long story short,
the band waited, and waited, but no
summons came from the republicans to
blow their horns in honor of republican
victory. Becoming fatigued at last with
this protracted waiting. (cven brass
band viii reach the limit of paiicnce)
word was sent 10 Mayor Mott aud his
friends that the band had an abundance
of wind on hand which could be made
available for the winning democracy.
The band was promptly engaged and did
good service in the canse of the victorious
democracy.
Taking both the band and whistle Incl
dents into consideration, it is easy 10 see
how prone our republican friends have
been hitherto to count their poultry be
fore it comes ont of the shell.
