charge-who were not strictly the

Rock Island--.The Pledge and
the Officers.

"Good-bye tanglefoot," would not be
just the proper expression to be made in
describing society which has been
formed in Rock Island the past season.
yet it might be used in this connection,
as it covers the object of the organization
exactly, with such members IF, OF
course. there be any-who have been in
the least friendly to King Alcohol. The
name of the society is The Father
Matthew Total Abstinence Society Of
Rock Island, and the objects are fully
set forth in the following brief but ex-
pressive pledge, which every member is
obliged to sign and take on oath TO sup>
port:
| promise with the Divine assistance,
TO abstain from all intoxicating liquors,
and prevent as much as possible by al
vice and example, intemperance in 9th
ers.
The officers are:
President Patrick OMAHA.
Vice Presideut-John Corken.
Recording Secretary -Ffank Wheelan.
Financial Secretasy-John Galley.
Corresponding Secretafy-J. W. Cavl>
naugh.
Treasurer-.Iohh Blake.
The society, which il Catholic, meets
every Friday evening it Norris hall 1t
now has membership of fifteen, with a
dozen applicants for membership at the
next meeting. The members appear to
be very enthusiastic aud determined, and
an ARGUS reporter, lnot in the least in>
tending 10 cast any insinuations, called
upon President 1fara this morning and
ventured to ask him IF the society
meant business.
"Of course it does, responded the ex-
member of the legislature, with emphasis
and something Of a show of Indignation
at the reporters brass; do you think
any of us would sign that pledge if we
did not mean business? Certainly we
do. Why. if you had been at our meet.
ing last night, you would never have
asked that question"
DO you mean to open hos,ilties upon
the saloons?r
Nothing of that Sort we~iptend to
make no warfare upon the liquor intsyests
whatever; We simply intend to leave the
saloons alone, with the hope that they
will reciprocate in the same manner We
are looking after ourselves, and we will
~ezerY one of us-live up to.what we ha<t
pledeed ourselves TO do"

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
MARSHALL, March 22-Your correspondent
became acquainted, to-day, with remarkable
and interesting story of Revolutionary relic.
Mr.. johnson, of Oak Point, johnson township
is the owner of pair of names, which have an
eventful history. His grandfather made them
in the year 1870. When made they had holes
through them to hold the rope traces, instead of
hooks They were fastened together at the top
with strong hickory withe. The most remark
able part of the story is that the same withe
which was put on them when first made is still
there, apparently as strong and sound as when
put on, 156 years ago. Mr.. Johnsons father
used the names when hauling the American
artillery at the battle Of Guilford Court house.
in North Carolina, he being then a mere strip
ling. but a patriotic youth. The names were
used by Mr.. johnson when he moved to Clark
county. thirty years ago, but have since been on
the retired list Mr. johnson is now sixty-tw
years old. He was born when his father was
quite an old man. He is noted as man of the
most rigid truthfulness, and no shadow Of doubt
is cast on his narrative by any who know him.
The account of the early history Of the names
was given him by his father, and they are looked
upon as an heirloom and priceless reminder of
the early days of our countrys history.
