n Nuisance Complained OF.


Rock ISLAND, March 29.-On Seventh
avenue between Twelfth and Eleventh
streets, Chris. Naab keeps slaughter
house on his place in front of my house
where he kills calves. sheep and hogs.
He gets barrels of nffal from Chicago and
lets the filth run on the sidewalk and it
runs by my house. Please publish this
and oblige. MRS. MARY MURRAY.
If the public nuisance which Mrs.
Murray complains of is allowed to exist,
it will result in much sickness in that
part Of town. The health commission
should investigate and abate it and not
wait for complains to be lodged before
prosecuting. The health commissioner
is himself the prosecutor in cases such AS
the one complained of. 1t is these kind
of unchecked filth holes that make the
people cry out in their helpless state for
an abattOir, and it is for the same reason
that the ARGUS endorses and fights, and
will continue to fight for the abattoir and
proper sanitary protection. 1t was the
same reason that prompted the appellate
court in saying the abattoir was just
and the same reason will have
its effect with the supreme court of the
state, soon to pass upon the case.

RAILROAD POOL RATES.
Investigation Began of Emigrant Rates
From Castle Garden.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S-The interstate
commerce commission met here today and
began the investigation of the railroad
pool rates at Castle Garden 1t was shown
that during the past ten years the rates
charged emigrants were higher than those
charged for first-class passengers. The
business has been so profitable that the
railroads have fought hard for it. The
railroads have not complied with the law
and filed a report with the authori-
ties in the cities where their Offices are
Mr.. Blair. counsel for complainant, claimed
that the railroads would not allow the i'm
migrants to send their baggage by freight
Frank LOomiS replied for the New York
Central and West Shore railroads He
denied that the pool had injured the COM
plalnant in any way. The service rendered
to immigrants was excellent. What the
complainant has set forth as his grievance
is permitted by the statutes of this state.
Mr.. Blair called X. j. Cortis, agent of
the Huntington line to the stand. His
company sent passengers by the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad from Newport News
to Chicago for SO.
Superintendent Jackson, of Castle Gar
den, described the landing of passengers at
the garden, where he has been employed for
twenty years Since the formation of the
pool the emigrants have not been consulted
as to which road they wished to 90 by.
About 40 per cent of the passengers landed
at the garden go by the trunk lines to the
west. He thought the income derived bv
the railroads for extra baggage of the i'm
migrants was about $4,000.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 2S-The Kansas
Farmer this week publishes reports from
14S special correspondents in response to
questions sent out concerning the weather
during the past winter, stock feed, wheat
in the ground, farm work under way,
spring crops, condition of the ground,
crops successfully grown in the different
counties, grains, grasses, fruits, etc, losses
occasioned by exposure to cold weather,
agricultural prospects, spirits of the
farmers, immigration, railroads, etc, and
the summing up shows very encourag-
ing state of facts.
Every county is reported, in some cases
by two or more correspondents. 1t is
agreed by all that while there was some
very cold weather in January the weather
then was dry and no considerable losses of
stock occurred anywhere by reason of it.
In some of the counties cattle have been
on the open range all winter, with very lit
tie prepared food of any kind Winter
wheat got well started in the fall and it
afforded good pasture nearly all winter
Not one county reports any losses on ac-
count of shortness of food, and many now
have feed to spare. The universal testi-
mony is that stock never wintered better
Wheat is in good condition, very good,
well rooted with good tops. Rye was
sown pretty extensively in the newer
counties and, like wheat, made good pas
tuIage and is now doing well.
Spring work is far advanced in all the
southern counties oats sown, potatoes
planted, and gardens begun. A great deal
of fall blowing was done in the eastern
and northern counties. Never before in
all the the states history was so much and
so good a preparation on the first of March
for the spring work. A largely increased
acreage of millet, sorghum, rye, corn and
kaffr corn. Alfalfa is a favorite forage
plant with many. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the last two
years have not been prosperous
ones generally, in Kansas, the farmers are
in good heart and everywhere report most
encouraging prospects. and this feeling is
general Everybody is hopeful and re
solved to make the best of good year.
The ground is well saturated with mois-
ture. Wheat is in the best possible con
dition for this time of the season, and stock
was never healthier or in better plight in
early spring. The whole state is in good
humor.

BROUGHT OUT IN COURT.
An Old Defalcation Recalled in Suit to
Recover $4,000.

NEW YORK, Feb 2S.-Mrs. Charles Win
sor sued her brother, Joseph II. Bodine, to
recover $4,000, which she said she had
given him for safe keeping. 1t was brought
out in the trial before Judge O'Brien to-
day that the plaintiffs husband was teller
Of the Mercantile bank in 1864. When a
shortage of 5000, 900 was discovered he fed
to England.
Mrs. Winsor testified that she first gave
the money to her brother, Jacob, but, feel
ing that it was not safe with him. she took
it back and gave it to her sister Mrs.
Elanor Darby, who was instructed to hand
it to the defendant. The sister testified
that Joseph got the money in a peculiar
way. He refused to take it directly from
her, and, upon his proposition, she walked
down stairs with the $4,000 in her hand,
and placed it upon a table in the front of
the parlor. Her brother, who had followed,
picked up the notes, and putting them in
his pocket walked away. Not a word
passed between them. The money was
$4,000 in treasury notes. When these
lit tie matters were all settled Mr. Winsor
hied herself to England after he husband.
Meanwhile the bank went energetically to
work and with detectives located Mr.. Win
sor, sued him in England. got judgment
lOE anu OH lIllS SIuc VI Uuc OCCdI
one for S2lS, 900, which were returned I'M
satisfied. Then it had Winsor arrested and
thrown into prison in England.
In 1865, however, the bank got tired of
the thing, and through the agency of
James Bodine, second brother of Mrs
Windsor, the case was settled for S2S 900.
Then Winsor and his wife came back and
went to live at New Brighton. Winsor
was put on the stand and informed the
court that he was not a defaulter, but that
the shortage was merely a deficiency"
In his defense Joseph II. Bodine said
that he had taken the $4,000 to indemnify
him as surety for Winsor. --Of that IS 500
had been used to affect the settlement
made by the defendants brother. When
ne first obtained the money he put it ION
the shelf in his cellar for safe keeping"
On going in there two weeks later he
was very much annoyed to find that 81 800
of the money had been devoured by rats.
These complications were too much for
the twelve men called upon to decide the
case and they disagreed.
