Every member of the bar in Rock Isl.
and county is panied by the intelligence
of the unfortunate accident which has
befalIen Monmouth's distinguished at
torney, ]. L. Dryden. mentioned in last
evenings ARGUS. The Monmouth GU =
ette Of last night furnishes the following
late and additional information, concern
ing the condition of the sufferer and par
ticularS of the accident:
There is no great change in the condi-
ton of Mr.. Dryden. The fact that he is
not much worse gives hope, but nothing
can relieve the seriousness of his ply
steal state. He lies in a semi-conscious
or comatose condition. His breathing
is heavy and at times he talks rather de.
liriously. 1t is thought that he rec0g
niZed the doctor this morning. His pulse
at times is about normal The marks of
the injuries he received show plainly
The cut on the forehead is not large. but
the blOod has settled below the eyes
There is large bruise on the right side
near the hip, besides the wounds in the vi
cinity of the abdomen. He turns over in
the bed more readily than would be eX-
pected and has once or twice tried to get
up although he was of course restrained
by his attendants. An evidence of the
sympathy with the injured man, who was
SO generally known and respected, is the
frequent inquiry about how be is getting
along. Throughout the city the people
aEXiously learn the latest reports and ex-
press hopes Of his improvement. Ii
seems as though the sympathetic pulse of
the public beat with that of the sufferer
SO far as Mr. Dryden's delirious talk
relates to the accident. it discloses moth
ing except the fact that he was attempt
ing to Get across tue track. That was
the last mental exeriion before he was
struck by the engine and he is still, so
far as bis mental strength is concerned
straining every nerve TO escape the dan
ger from the incoming engine. 1t i:
probable that should he recover to tell the
story of the accident, that the last thing
be would be able to recount would be the
effort he was making to get across the
track
The train which struck Mr.. Dryden
was in charge of Conductor Terry ant

A sucker.

A little confidence game was enacted
on Conductor Whitfield's train on the c.,
B. & N, at Savanna yesterday morning.
A wild, Unframed cowboy from Dakota
was the victim, and he was worked" by
an old and benevolent looking gentleman,
whose appearance belied his true nature.
First the old gentleman wanted check
of soc cashed, but the cowboy hadn't
ridden broncho long enough to earn that
amount The g went on TO state that
he had freight bill of $40 to pay and as
he was going to the same place the
c. b. was destined fOr-Quincy-i he
could borrow that sum he would have the
check caShed at one of the stations along
the road and return the money. AT this
seemingly fair proposition the C. b. went
down in his Jeans and handed out four
crisp $40 bills. Just before the train
started for Rock Island, the o. g. quietly
slipped off the cars. After the train had
got under full headway the C. b. began to
look for his partner" but in vain. He
asked Conductor Whitfield if such per-
son was on the train, and being answered
in the negative, CORY look came in his
eyes. and he dropped off at the first sta
ton and started on the back track.

A Good Investment.

Anyone who has ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture if carefully made. To
the absolute safety Of government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with a steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide Of immih
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to a soil
unsW passed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land. easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for safe place to
invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit, or if you are farm
er and want farm of your own, call on
me and see what have to offer. | will

SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
Additional High School Teachers Ow-
ing to Increase in Attendance
Other Matters

A special meeting Of the board of edu-
cation was held last evening. There
were present President Stafford and Di-
rectors WEIGH, Reimers, Barge and Dur
ham, and Secretary kemble.
The board appointed Miss Nellie Rey>
nolds. of Aurora, an additional teacher
at the high school. the particular branches
under her charge to be composition and
literature. Her salary is TO be SIS per
month. The new teacher comes with the
best recommendations, having had eight
years experience in the Aurora high
school, and has made the branches she is
to teach constant study. The reason of
the addition to the high school corps is
the great increase in the high school at
tendance, there having been an advance
of thirtysthree per cent. in attendance
for the month of October, in 1886. over
the average for the same month for six
years. The average for six years was
ninety-three, while last month it was 1876,
showing that the work was too much for
the force employed, aud the addition al
teacher was necessity. This coupled
with the fact that the board is anxious
TO give more particular attention to the
English branches led to the engagement
of another instructor IN the high school
TIE committee on text books was au-
therized to refund several volumes of the
high school library.
The superintendent was instructed to
close on Wednesday evening, the Gath,
until the following Monday morning, for
the Thanksgiving vacation.

The Rock Island Robbery.


A mysterious telephone message to the
criminal court building Friday afternoon
requested States Attorney Grinnell to
walt at his office until we'll known pri-
vate citizen arrived at his, the states at
torneys office. The citizen and Mr.,
Hutchins, an attaChe of the Chicago and
Rock Island railroad company, within Il
few minutes of the sending of that mes
sage, appeared at the Office of Sheriff
Hancbett aud mysteriously requested a
permit from the sheriff to interview the
population of the county Jail individually
and collectively 4 few minutes before
q O'Clock, when the mantle of night had
closed the eyes. so to speak, of the Grim
inal court reporter, or was supposed to
have done so, the private citizen and
Hutchins in company with a detective or
two and Mr.. Daniel DonOhue, assistant
states attorney, entered the portals of
the county jail. and handing the mandate
of Sheriff Hanchett. or rather that of his
deputy, the sheriff elect, to the guardian
angel at the door. asked to see Mr.. Hell
den, young man who is now serving q
term OF imprisonment for an offense of
very modest dimensions, such as is usual
ly punished by short term of imprison>
ment in this comparative Hades, but
who, having six months yet to serve. is
naturally ANXIOUS TO shorten the term.
Reinforced by this young man, the dele
CATION entered the Jail and then spent the
best part of an hour in pumping that
young man. The story that he told was
to the effect that he was present when the
plan for what is known as the Rock ISL
and Railroad robbery was planned by the
men who committed it. The MEN, he said,
who were present on that occasion were
Dickens, Hopkins, and Sanders, gentle
men whose ways have long been under
the eyes of the law. and the driver of one
of the express wagons of the Chicago and
Rock Island railroad company, whose
name he did not know, but whom he said
he could easily recognize if an opportuni
ty was given him to do so. The peoples
legal guardians, the private citizen, and
the aforesaid detectives professed not to
believe word of what young Holden
tod them, bu: it is supposed that the ex-
preston of the refusal to believe was
simply meant as blind to lull the suspic.
ions and stay the legs of the suspected
individuals, should they by untimely
chance hear that the law wants them. II
appears that Heldens connection with
the robbery was made known by his send,

jail several weeks ago. Recent develop
