Hon. T. J. Scofeld, of Carthage, ar
rived at the Rock Island house at II
o'clock this morning and tonight at
Armory hall he makes the first of five
speeches in this county. Mr.. Scofeld is
presidential elector for the Eleventh dis
trict and he is one of the most highly re-
spected thoroughgoing democrats in the
state. He has few equals for ability
and complete understanding of national
issues. The democrats of the district
made wise move in nominating him for
elector, for there is no other man in the
party better qualified to advocate the pol
icies of the party or to place them in 9
manner to be understood by the voters.
Mr.. scofeld has been talking contin>
uously since the opening Of the campaign
and by the time election day arrives viii
have spoken several times in ever,
county in the district.
In conversation with an ARGUS repre-
sentative this morning he said that Mr.
Prentiss' election was practically assured
and that Gen. Palmer would run muc
better all over the district than had bee
even hoped for.

Chairman Thomas, of the republican

day evening, and the Union, which must
speak with authority, gives away the
whole state of affairs as Thomas found
them, when it very indiscreetly says:
Republicans generally, he found. realize
that the majority of 1886 Is too light to
rest upon, and propose to do their best
to build it up" This attempt to conceal
fear with an appearance of boldness is
altogether too thin. Mr.. Thomas found
Mr.. Prentiss gaining ground with such
alarming rapidity that it took his breath
away, and for two days he did not know
whether he was in the Eleventh congress

An accident, peculiar as it was unfor>

by fatal results, occurred at Moline yes

less under the influence of intoxicants.
At any rate the first notice that was given
them was when they attempted to borrow
shovel in the upper end of that town,
not stating for what purpose they intend
ed to use it, but saying that they were
going out to Riverside cemetery. The
next trace Of them was when both were
pulled out of ditch on the Riverside
road, both badly injured, and Schroeder
fatally so. The Moline patrol wagon con-
veyed the sufferer to his home on Front
and Brown streets, Davenport, where it
was discovered upon examination that his
breast and spine had been injured, and the
services of four physicians were of no
avail. for at 4 o'clock this morning he
breathed his last. Exactly how the acct,
dent occu rred is not known. An eye
witness says the men got into a dispute
when nearing the fatal spot. as TO which
should drive, and that Schroeder siezed

Within the last ten years there have been

years of honesty and trustworthy service

grown to know that long fidelity is no guar

Some will resist any sort of lure, but many

known men to handle money for thirty
years and never have the slightest impulse
to steal it, and suddenly they would fall into
the tolls of some adventures and before they
knew it they were plunged into system Of
peculation and classifying accounts that ended
in ruin Or else they thought they saw the
chance, by some lucky speculation, to end
their long bondage to clerking, they took one
big sum, failed, and the next news they had
levanted over into the Dominion.

where he goes and everything he does for a
week or two, and from his report the bank
officials can judge whether his accounts need

reports that a new clerk is seen in noted re-
sorts and appears to be spending considerable
money, they overhaul his books very rigidly
and give him to understand that man who

bungling detective i'll the act, had pummeled
him within an inch of his life, but most of
them submit good naturally, knowing that
the bank is more or less justified in taking
such precautions. II has a good effect on
many of the young fellows, too; they keep out

QUEEN OF THE HEAVENS.

An Important Period in Fair Luna's
MOvements.-Harve and Hunters
MO0n--The sun.
The sun has now passed through more
than half its southern journey across the
armament. On September 90 it swept
across the equinoctial line. For three
months preceding that date while the
length of days had been on the decrease
and that of the nights on the increase, the
days were longer than the nights. The
difference in length was virtually elmin>
mated by September 49, and at that time
the day light hours and darkness were of
equal length, practically speaking, all
over the globe. For the next two months
following the date named, the days will
still continue decreasing and the nights
increasing in duration, but the nights
will be longer than the days. The oppo.
site conditions, however, will prevail all
over the globe south OF the equator.
The October moon was new on the 9th
and will be full on the 10Th. The tull
moon of September Goth was the harvest
moon. That which reaches its full stage
on October 10Th will be the hunters
moon. The interval between the success
sive risings of the full moon in October
will be small as compared with that of
other months. except August and Sep
TENDER, although it will be greater than
that of the latter The reason for the
trifling retardation in the case of the har-
vest month is the nearness to the ecliptic,
or path of the earths motion, of that
part of the moons orbit traversed in Sep.
TENDER. The angular distance between
the moons orbit and the ecliptic is but
little greater in October than in Septem
Der. Consequently there is compare
lively short interval between successive
risings of the hunters moon.

Dr. Bowman and the Quincy Accident

Dr. Bowman and the Quincy Accident
Circuit Clerk E. H. Bowman, Jr., ar
rived from Quincy at noon, and brought
the intelligence that his father had rallied
sufficiently yesterday. so that his physi-
clan felt confident of being able to bring
the doctor home soon unless relapse
occurred, but had abandoned all hope of
final recovery. The doctor fully realizes
his condition, but has fought against his
injuries with a success which has been
surprising, even to those who knew him
best.
Edward jackson, brother of Mr. Otis
Channoa jackson of The Cafe, returned
Saturday evening from Quincy, where he
spent last week. He was an eye wit
ness of the terrible accident in which DR..
Bowman was so seriously injured. Mr..
jackson sat near the amphitheatre
on which were seated four thou
sand people. Two fire balloons had
been sent up and the third was about to
start when the smphiteatre came down
with crash. Fully $50 people were in
jured, of which Dr.. Bowman Jared the
most seriously. The display of fire
works was continued for two hours aftel
the accident, having just commenced a
the time of the unfortunate occurrence
The accident was due to failure to prop
erly brace the amphitheatre at the ends
The front was brsced, but the west emf
gave way and the whole structure tum
bled in that direction. Jackson says tn,
daily papers of Quincy bitterly denounc
the contractor who erected it and charg,
him with criminal carelessness.
