A FEMALE PARAGON.
Mrs. Wheelock, Of Peoria, With Blood
in Her Eye, Interviews an
Argus Reporter.

Mrs. Wheelock, who formerly resided in
this city, but now residesin Peoria, waltzed
into the ARGUS office this morning with
blood in her eyes. She was on a ..'still
hunt" after our reporter, vowlng that he
had slandered her in saying that she was
in town the other day, and enticed away
two or three girls to Peoria, there to lead
life of shame. Mrs Wheelock, with
tears in her eyes declared that it was an
Infamous lie, as her name was not Sal
Wheelock at all. She was asked what her
first name was, but refused to answer the
question. She then waltzed up to Crop
pers temple of justice and wanted wal
rant issued for the scribe. Justice Cropper
told her he could issue no warrant, and
sent her over to States Attorney Parmen
ter'3 Office From Parmenters office she
again descended upon this establishment
where she found the object Of her wrath.
Then there ensued flow Of words, never
surpassed and seldom equalled Mrs.
Wheelock denied that she went to Peoria.
She said she was a married woman. That
she ran no ranch in Peoria. A1d above
all things she said her name wasn't Sal.
Our reporter replied that it didn't make
any difference what her name was. If
her name was not Sal, what did she mean
by cavorting around so much about the
article? And that where there was so
much noise made there must be something
| rotten. She wanted the ARGUS editor to
| write down to Peoria and get her rep"
there. She said that she stood in solid
with the mayor and the police force at
Peoria. Not getting any satisfaction out
of the scribe, she opened the door, made
a face at him and trotted out up the
street.
Our police here are not very compli-
mentary in their remarks about Mrs.
Wheclock They have known her for a
long time She used to reside
on Twentieth street, and was
continually giving them trouble. Espe-
cially was this so in the case of one or
two of the policemen, not now on our
efficient force. She sought, like the spider
did the fly, to ensnare them into her place.
| About week ago, she came up here after
a prominent man who resides in Moline.
Were We to mention his name it would
split the society circles of that bucolic
village wide open" Mrs. Wheelock
remarked to one of our police that she had
the dead wood" on Il fellow living in
Moline, and had come up to interview
him. 1t is not our intention to vilify any.
one, but when people commence to kindle
a fire under kettle the vessel will soon
become hot and commence to sizzlc Mrs.
Wheelock had better HE herself back to
wicked, ungodly Peoria. and limit hcl
travels within its borders in the future.

A Sad World.

This world is hollow mockery, and

average youth this morning. All this

But today the ground is covered all over

introduction of the BOca Com
pany's New Beer.

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as If it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, it's ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. It
Is delicate, with q smart sm ack Of hops and
malt, and leaves a lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even il
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by

school of philosophy recognizes as the only

CURING BAD MEMoRY.-Your memory is
bad, perhaps, but l can tell you two secrets
that will cure the worst memory. One is
to read subject when you are strongly
interested. The other is not only to read,
but think. When you have read paragraph
or a page, stop-close the book-and try to
remember the ideas on the page and not
only to recall them vaguely to your mind,
but put them into words and speak them
out. Faithfully follow these two rules and
you will have the golden keys of knowl-
edge. Besides inattentive reading, there are
other things injurious to memory. One is
the habit of skinming oyer newspapers, all
in confused jumble, never to be thought
of again, thus cultivating a habit of careless
reading hard 10 break. Another is the
reading of trashy novels. Nothing is so IA
tai to reading with profit as the habit of
running through story after story, and for
getting them as soon as read. ! know
gray-haired woman, a life-lover Of books,
who sadly declared that her mind had been
ruined by such reading.

DEAD-BEATING NEWsPApERs.-The Iadc-
pendent, published at Waynesburg, thus
describes certain class Of subscribers in
Greene county, of whom also We are sorry
to say there are a few in Somerset. The
meanest persons having existence are those
deuominated dead-heads,' and of these
there are many classes. The merchant, the
lawyer. the church and the newspaper each
have their share and all struggle to free
themselves from them, but they cling with
as much tenacity rs grim death to mig
gers heel" Such persons are drones to so
ciety. and only serve to clog the wheels OF
any enterprise or Undertaking. There Is
nothing that will raise the wrath OF the
newspaper man. cause his hair to stand on
end and impel him to speak sharply 70 the
"devil," than to get notice from post
master that the paper addressed to A. b. Is
uncalled for reason, don't want 1t any
longer" Turning to the books he finds
the man has been getting the paper for
nothing for four or five years, and has not
paid a cent on il. We received notices from
postmasters the other day Of three such
spongers. the aggregate Of whose accounts
was near so. Now. ifthere are any more
such spongers on our list, who have deter
mined not to pay for their paper; we ask
them TO report at once, as our circumstances
will not permit Us to be - liberal as TO send
the paper for nothing. There is another
class who cheat the printer by jumping the
&C county" or changing their postofice with
out notifying the publisher. This class Is
placed under the head of frauds, y and the
United States government has passed law
for their special benefit which is rather
stringent in its character. Under it such
pereons can be arrested for fraud, fined
heavily and imprisoned. An enforcement
of this law on the par; of publishers in a few
instances, might have the wholesome effect
of correcting an evil from which all news-
papers suffer more or less. Those reflections
are for the benefit Of the ''dead-hsad' only
no difference what paper is injured by hi'
meanness.
