had his bonds m ,de out and signed but
when he went to deposit them with Coun
ty Clerk Donaldson he discovered that Mr..
Fish had not even resigned his position,
and further that said resignation would
have to be made 10 the county and that
the council had TO Jurisdiction in the
matter. that being county Office, and that
in case of resignation a special election
would be necessary. Nothing was found
in the statutes giving the power of such
appointment to these functionaries, and it
seems that they were either ignorant of
this fact or else acted on the presumption
that the legality of the same would not be
questioned.

this state. occurred the marriage of Mr..
Ed. B. Keator of this city, and Miss Carrie
E. Clark of that place, but several years
ago teacher in our public schools. The
Rev. N A. PrentiSs tied the knot in a very
satisfactory manner. after which came con-
CALCULATIONS in which quite number from
this city, who had arrived just prior to the
ceremony, heartily joined. There were
quite number of elegant presents, partly
from those present and the rest from alb
sent friends accompanied by regrets of the
donors inability to be present; after the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Kestor departed
for the east. After a short tour they will
return to this city and occupy his residence
in East Moline. The bride who is
daughter of Prof. Thomas Ell. Clark, pr1nci-

of as a very accomplished young lady, and
the ARGUS joins their friends in wishing
them much joy.

NEARLY BLEED TO DEATH.

Late yesterday afternoon the only
daughter of one of our leading townsmen
went to the office of one of our best known
and most skillful dentists fer the purpose
of having eight teeth extracted. Prior to
beginning work the dentist sent for DR..
Plummer under whose direction chloro-
form was administered. The operation
was a successful one but as the young lady
is in rather delicate health the profuse
flow of blood which succeeded quite pros
trated her and in this condition she was
taken home. The bleeding continued, al
most uninterruptedly, until about o'clock
this morning, when it was staunched Up
to that hour her parents were naturally
very anxious about her, as, at one time, it
seemed as if she could not possibly rally.
As might be inferred, no blame is
chargeable to anybody for the serious re-
suits following this dental operation.

reporter learned that it has been estimated
by reliable people who have the best means
of knowing. that the daily average number
of pedestrians passing over the bridge is
about one thousand and of teams from five
to seven hundred. This shows what kind
of q business well equipped and managed
street railway line might do.
The street railway connection between
the three cities, already too long delayed,
will have become an established fact ere
the blasts of another winter visit us and
the gentlemen who have taken the matter
in hand are entitled to the warmest thanks
of the community for their enterprise.
