Thinks IL May Not be small Pox

Editor ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND, Sept. 12.-It is wise to
be on the safe side. Far be it from me
to make light of the agitation prevalent
in reference to the presence of small pox
in town. But is it small poxf Fleugel
eats and drinks with all the heartiness of
healthy man; sleeps as usual. He has
been by his physicians orders, confined
to his room. but he has not been confined
to his bed. Only last Friday the disease
was pronounced small pox; this morning
DR.. Plummer says that Fleugel is per-
fectlv able TO go all over town, although
Just about now we would suppose he
should DE in the very climax of the dis
ease Does there not seem ground for
hope that Fleugel's disease may turn out
20 be one less fearful than small poA
after alf Y. Y. z.
None would be better pleased than the
ARGUS If the theory advanced in the
above communication would prove to be
correct. As it is however it is only
wise and proper that we accept tn,
doctors opinion and be on the safe sid,
to say the least. Only this morning {
resident of Fluegel's neighborhood called
at the ARGUS Office to express his indig
nation at the careless manner in which
the guaranteed premises are guarded
1t is to be hoped that time will tell tina
there has not been so much cause 70
alarm as there seems al the present to be
but until it is conclusively shown that al
danger has disappeared. people canno
be too careful.

Within the past two weeks the railroad
agent at Cable, Mercer county, has sent
carrier pigeon via Rock Island to
Tiskilwa three times, for the agent there
to let loose The first trial was on Sept.
A, but no record could be obtained of the
exact time it took to traverse the dis
lance of seventy miles that intervenes bes
tween Tiskilwa and Cable. The next
trip was made Sept. s. and was more sue
cessful, the bird flying from Tiskilwa to
Cable IN two hours and twenty minutes,
but the owner being satisfied his pigeon
could make better time expressed him
back on the 18th, when he covered the
distance IN two hours. Carrier pigeon
like he started east each time, while
Gable is situated almost due west of
there. 1t seems 10 be a natural trait of
these birds to start in an opposite direc-
ton from the course they are to pursue.

The Sidney. Capt. Kelly, is due down
this evening.
The handsome Pittsburg, Capt Kill
leen, passed over the rapids early this
morning.
1t is expected that it will take about
ten DAYS yet for the repairs upon the
Mary Morton to be completed at Du,
buque.
Until further notice, the Pittsburg and
St. Paul will leave St. Louis every Wed
nesday and Saturday, but there is no de-
finite time down for their arrival at any
river point above St Louis.
There promises to be lively competi-
ton in the Rock Island, Davenport and
Clinton trade. Capt. Burleigh, of Dav-
export, left for Louisville Monday night
with the intention, it is said, of buying
the little packet Minnie Bey, which he

Four boats are employed in helping
RATS over the rapids from LeClalre to
Davenport and Rock Island. and have
generally waited for their prey-s down
coming raft-at LIE Claire. But since the
launching of the Irene D, couple of
weeks ago, competition has become Sc
brisk that now the boats go clear to Gin
ton to meet the boats going down the
river with RATS. Every boat going ovel
the rapids must have a rapids pilot anC
for the last few years rsfters have no
only taken on a pilot but have secured {
boat which is put cross ways at the bow
of the raft, and helps materially in steer
ing the cumbersome craft over the tortu
Gus and dangerous channel. For thi
double service the neat sum of 800 is ex
acted from the owners of the raft and
is but little wonder that the rapids boa
owners are anxious to secure a job.
