Neeca.

Congressman Niece has been actively
engaged for the past week in visiting
several towns in the county, and address,
ing the people on the political issues of
the day. From persons who accompan-
led Mr.. Neece, and those at whose towns
he spoke, we learn that he created very
favorable impression wherever he made
his appearance, Our Congressman has
been comparatively unknown to the pco-
Pile of the cOunty-with the exception of
Rock Island-until this visit, so that his
trip will prove beneficial to his cause.
New friends were made at every place
visited, and his old supporters were more
firmly impressed that he was just the man
this district wanted in congress His ut
terances prove him to be fully awake to
the needs of the times, while his first term
in congress has shown HIM to be watch
full and ready champion of the people S
interests; opposed to ali rings and schemes
and fearless enough to expose corruption
and fight for the cause of right In the
matter of the Hot Springs lands in New
Mexico, alone, he saved the United States
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
defeated the Vaccinations of horde of
land sharks who had concocted big
steal
These are the reasons that Mr. Neece is
so deservedly popular with not alone the
people of Rock Island county, but the
district at large. The people therefore
want him to return to congress and con-
tinue to labor for their interests, and
when the people want to attain any de-
sired end, they generally do 50. Thus it
is that we expect to see Mr.. Niece tri>
umphantly elected next month.
Before leaving Mr.. Neece was induced
to revisit this county before the election,
and the following dates were selected
Gable, Saturday evening the 25th; Rey~
nolds, Monday afternoon the 9th: Rural,
Monday evening the 27th; Rapids City,

Martin

Supervisor Martin, of Canoe Creek,
foated into town this morning even be-
fore tie sun god had buckled on his ar
NOR for his days journey in the misty
vaults of heaven. Martin is genial soul
who lives to make others happy. He is
also the democratic mogul of the upper
end. These two qualities go handi in hand.
Martins spirits were slightly below par
this morning. from the fact that his pros
posed big political meeting on Wednesday
did not reach large proportions, on ac~
count of the interference of the weather,
which, even he cannot hold in check
Preparations had been made for huge
time. Martin had kindled signal fire on
the nearest HILL and the warriors CONS
menced to gather from afar and other
places The fatted OK was killed, and the
tlagons were filed whitewater This in
fringement on its rights, made the heavens
angry and it straightway let its favorite
fluid fall with great supcrauity. The
fiagons were not only refilled to overflow
ing, but the whole land for miles around
was one sheet of water The signal fire
was squelched in its infancy, and the
braves retraced their footsteps to their
wigwams. In vain did Martin lift up his
hands and cry out with loud voice fer
the sun to show his face. But the sun
had crawled into hole, as it were, and
for many days its exact whereabouts was
source of mystery. The meeting took
place as advertised, however, and al
though the people wero not compelled to
tread on each others toes, there was a
fair audience present. When Martin has
another meeting in his bailiwick, we trust
that everything will be propitious, so that
the uphcaval of the masses will not be re,
tarded.

And Still They Come .

When q clothing house does as large a
businessas the Golden Eagle, it is neces>
sary to get new goods every few days in
order to keep the stock complete, and it
is their intention to have full stock of
the most desirable goods on hand at all
times, so that it will be useless for anv
one to look elsewhere when in need of
clothing. Some of their competitors are
evidently very envious Of these new goods
which arrive every few days and try to
make some very cutting remarks, but the
Golden Eagle goes right along increasing
its patronage just as though there were
no other clothing stores in town Today
another large lot of mems clothing was
received. 1t is nothing new any more 10
chronicle the fact of the arrival of new
goods at this establishment, and it is cv-

Their prices tell the story. Another large

purchase $15 worth of goods.

The Cost OF Sickness.

think, then, that we can not escape
from the reasons to believe that we lose
in England and Wales, every year. in
consequence of sickness. 10000. 00C
weeks work; or, say. as much work a>
10000, 600 healthy people would do in q
week.
The number is not easily grasped by
the mind. 1t is equal to about one
forticth part of the work done in each
year by the whole population between
fifteen and siXty-tivc years old Or,
try to think of it in money Rather
more than half Of it is lost by those
whom the Registrar-General names the
domestic, the agricultural, and the in
dustrial classes. These are more than
1900, 600 in number. and they lose
about 100000 weeks; say, for easy
reckoning, at one pound week; and
here is loss of I'll 100000 sterling
from what should be the annual wealth
of the country. For the other classes,
who are estimated as losing the other
5000, 900 weeks work, it would be
hard and unfair TO make q guess in any
known coin; for these include our great
merchants, our judges and lawyers, and
medical men, our statesmen and chief
Legislators; they include our poets and
writers of all kinds, musicians, painters
and philosophers; and our princes, who
certainly do more for the wealth and
welfare of the country than can be told
