The Delusion OF Herbert Spencer.
New Orleans Picayune.

Spencer's article on 1.-THE Great PO-
litical Superstition" il ns full OF con-
tradictions as his previous writings.
One Is tempted at every step to In

higher law For when they use the
word law they evidently signify moth
ing but q human statute, which not
only has no inherent power to create
right as Spencer himself Gays, but
moreover Is false to its purpose If 1t
fails to express right.
We take at second hand, but no
doubt correctly, the following from
Spencer's essay:
And, lastly, as in past times. laws were

Police N eWa.

A fellow named VIM. Anderson arrived
in the city yesterday. He had two or
three clocks, and as he had no use for
them he came to the conclusion to dispose
of them, and accordingly he went about
the city from street to street, and from
avenue to avenue trying to sell them In
some way he was espied by blue coated
peeler, who run him into the Armory.
Later on he was taken before Justice
Chopper, who assessed fine of $40 and
costs against him. As he had no money.
he left his clocks with the chief of police
for his fine, and is now skirmishing
among the by ways and hedges to secure
money to reclaim them.
Oscar Peterson is again 'in hoe" We

in the city yesterday, attending the SD ow.
We look upon COner as the only great
politician in that county. He carries the
destinies of that county under his hat, so
to speak. There is more wisdom in one
wink of Corners left eye. than there is in
the entire bodies of lesser lights, When
we see so great man we recognize him
by the prickings OF our thumbs, as the

to run away about half past nine O'Clock

another notion, but went off as fast as
their legs could carry them. The driver
left the team on Second avenue and went
into business house on some business,
and while he was inside the team got
scared at something and ran up the ave
nue.. They turned on Twentieth street

with the exception of bruising up one of
the legs of one of the horses.

the fact that matters in society circles

witnessed the gathering of young people
last night at the palatial residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Gilpin Moore, on Moline avenue.
The party was given by Mrs Moore in
honor of her guest, Miss Cora Taylor, a
handsome and accomplished young lady
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Tho whole
house was thrown open and was brilliant
ly illuminated, and made handsome
appearance. There were about thirty
couples in attendance who spent the
evening in dancing in the third floor of
the building to the exquisite music rem
dered by Strasser's band of Davenport
Along toward midnight banquet was
served and it was as superb a one as
Wallace, the well known caterer could get
up Every one present enjoyed them
selves, and voted the evening one of the
most pleasant ever spent by them.

Lost Her Wealth.

very positive that she had her purse when
she went into the menagerie, but when
she came out she found it gone. 1t was
probably sneaked out of her pocket by a
light fingered chap. There is no clue to
the thief 1t was very unwise thing to
take so much money into place like q

low avery show around.

Cabes where he stopped and commenced

A Lost Kid.

VIM Lambert and family came In on
the Mercer county train yesterday to see
the elephant and SIGH. With William and
his buXom wife came their son John Hen
~, who is seven years old. While wan
dering around the streets gazing in at the
show windows, John Henry became sep
arated from his parents, and as soon as
he found no familiar face near him he set
to bawling and hollering. His parents
discovered his absence, and were nearly
distracted. They went on the hunt OF
him, asking everybody they met if they
had seed little boy who was lost?"
With the assistance Of cop and an
ARGUS reporter, the kid was traced to
the court house yard, where he had fol
lowed the circus procession until he be
came too tired to go any farther. When
found John Henry had forgot he was lost
and was contentedly gazing at the monu>
ment and the people in the court house
campus. The parents were overjoyed in
regaining their lost boy, and in the ex-
uberance of his JOY, the father "set up
the lemonade minus stick in it.

A Parasol.

A woman, dressed in deep black, with
a wild stare in her eyes, rushed into the
Rock Island & Peoria depot yesterday
afternoon, and was so excited for about
five minutes that she couldn't tell what
she wanted, but stood and stared at Agent
Bruner like Gagged bear. Finally she man
aged to articulate the fact that she wanted
her parasol which she had left on the
train. Bruner told her that there was no
parasol about the depot that he knew of.
She went out, took a run around the
the depot aud came in again and declared
that the parasol was there, and she would
have it or have hair, blood
or something else equally as red.
She was told again that she couIdn,
have any parasol there, because they
hadn't any to give away. 1t turned out
upon questioning her, that she had left
her parasol in the dummy, and by tele.
phoning to the Union depot it was found
that the parasol was there. Upon being
given this information the woman shook
her fist at the boys in the depot and struck
out on a dog trot up the street towards
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific depot.

A Lunattc.

A small boy came into town early yes
terday morning, and wandered around on
the streets iu an aimless manner, seem
ingly caring nothing for anything that
was going on about him. He attracted
the attention of the police, who hailed him
and asked him his name, which he could
not give. Being suspicious that the boy
was lunatic he was run in to the Armory
and locked up. 1t turned out that he be-
longed in the Mercer county poor house,
and this morning the lunatic was put on
the train and sent TO Aledo.
