carried out" said Congressman Lind, of Minue-
sofa, to your correspondent, to-day. would do
far moro damage to the people of the United
States than it could possibly do to the people Of
the Dominion and the reason for this is that

of Minnesota and Dakota, depend for their very
subsistence, almost. upon the competition Of
Canadian railroads with the great trunk lines of
tho United States. Il is a wellknowu fact that
there is throughout the entire Weit very Bit

was shown in Chicago when Depews name was
mentioned as possible nominee for the presi-
dency. The mere fact that be was a. the head
OF a great railroad corporation damned him in
the eyes of the people of the West, and il led
to the prediction that the nomination
would be exceedingly dangerous. and that it
might and probably would, result in the loss of
the States of Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa. 70

What an idiotic thing 1t is for the AR
GUS to add, Union please note" to it's
item about a matter OF record in the
county court that was acted upon yester
day morning. The Union could not say
that Mr.. Peterson was adjudged insane
before the examination was held, but 1t
could say that steps for the examination
had been taken. and this it did. The
ARGUS took this way of showing its an
noyance at being scooped on the pro-
posed Brush injunction. notice of which
was served in ample time for its edition
of Thursday evening x Union.
Egotistical ASST Create the power Of
comprehension before you make any such
nonsensical crack. When the ARGUS
commences to note its scoops" upon the
Union, it will allude to something other
than an insignificant county court insan,
ity proceeding, and it will devote half
page day to the subject The individ>
ual who penned the above was perhaps
not wise enough to know that the ARGUS
meant to do the Union favor in calling
its attention to,the fact that there were a
number of supervisors on. the jury in the
insanity case alluded to. The same gen.
tlemen had served on several previous
cases, and on each occasion the Union
saw fitlto allude tosthem in an dncom>
plimentary way. But, nevertheless, the
gentlemen continued to serve when
called upon, and plainly showed that they
wou Id not be bulI-dozed by the Union.

When Mai. j, NJ. Beardsley took his
mail from the postofilce this morning, he
found among others letter from the
First National bank, stating that there
had been presented there from Daven-
port bank, a check to which his name was
appended and which the bank here had
protested, The major proceeded at once
TO the First National bank and informed
Cashier Loosely that he had written no
checks on any bank. or author
lied the use Of his name Ia such
transaction. While he was thus
talking the messenger for Mitchell &
Lynde's bank came in with check bears
ing Mr.. Beardsley's signature, and asked
him II he was prepared to pay it. 1t was
at once apparent that Maj. Beardsley's
name had been forged. He assured both
banks that he knew nothing of the chec1s
and at once started, in company with
Constable Eckhart, to Davenport to in
vestigate the matter. Calling at the Git
liens National bank in that city. from
which the check at the First National
bad been received. he found that the

sent it in, and received the cash for

and the purchaser received his change
and departed.
Maj. Beardsley then proceeded to the
First National bank in Davenport, and
was told that the check received there
had come from the hat Louise of Cameron
& Son. Going thither. Maj. Beardsley |
learned that on the same day of the |
aforementioned transaction, a stranger |
answering the description of the man
who made the deal at the why" called |
at Cameron's and purchased several arti
cles, presenting a check for $22 so on
the First National bank of Rock Island
bearing Maj. Beardsley's name. and re-
ceived the difference between the amount
of his bill and the check, and went his way
rejoicing.
The business houses in Davenport
where the checks had been presented,
sent them to their respective banking
houses. and this morning one was re-
ceived direct at the First National and
one came through Mitchell & Lynde.
The note at Mitchell & Lyndes (and the
other is similar to iD is written on the
paper of the First National, and reads:
