manner.
Though little Fred's suferings
we're great. from iniIammatory
rbeumaiism. he bore all with pa
,ience and for,itude for one Of his
tender wears. His presence will be
greatly mi sed from the school
room, where be was a bright schol-
or. ssuli of life and hope for the fu-
ture. but death--the personal enc
my OF all the human race marked
him for one Of the bright angels OF
the school of little ones in Heaven.
His life is suddenly closed, the
spirit has flown and the lingering
hopes entertained by his parents
and friends during his illness, were
at last compelled TO give way that
he was dead. His voice is stiued
I forever. his cheering presence i
missed and mourned, and hearts
are broken and bleeding al his
much loved home. But no call can
awake that slumber whose deep
lsleep lets the soul into ihe beyond.
/ Hope wreatEs the brow of the silent
farm. It is the father, mother and
brothers who arc TO be condoled IN
this bereavement. The life that .
little while ago was chained to az
earthly body, scars in realms OF
light and JOY whence it waits back
tpeace and love TO those he would
not haye left alone, alone.
What is death?
Past its dark mysterious portals
( Human eye may never roam
I Yes the hope still springs immortal
That il leads the wanderer home.

Thomas Berry, Sr., a highly re-
spectacle citizen of Rich Greek.
Lawrence Co, KY departed this
life August 90, 1892, in his seventy
seventh year; he was born June
9Th 1916.
He was married to Levina Salyer
December 20, 1912, and they had
borne unto them five sons. and five
daughters; one of his sons, Martin,
preceded him to the glory Land
about tI Give years. Uncle ThOmp-
81 kept his health tolerably well
until in the Spring Of 1892, then he
began to fail very fast; 1 think he
had heart dropsy.
He had been converted for sew
eral years, but his faith had be-
come weak, and he was not salts
fed to die in that condition, and he
had different ones TO talk to him
upon the subject, but he was pow
erfully bIest before his death, and
doubted and feared no man, and
all he cared for was leaving his old
and affectionate wife by herself
His brother Isaac still lives just
below where Thompson lived on
Rich Creek, he also has a brother
living somewhere in No. He was
inferred in the family grave yard on
the PORT near the old homestead
to rest there until the resurrection
morning
May the Lord God bless his lone
liz widow and comfort all the chill

MR.. SCHUREMAN'S SAY.
A Few Words From the Rock Island
Architect concerning the Letting OF
the Dam stone Contract.

A Few Words From the Rock Island
Architect concerning the Letting of
the Dam stone Contract.
EDITOR ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND, July 90 In an inter-
view that you report with Mr.. Worthing-
ton, president of the Cleveland Stone
company, you have quoted him as saying
that the difference between their bids the
first and second time was accounted for
by $4,000 in the cutting and $l4, 900
difference on freight between the rough
stone and the cut stone. This only ac~
counts for $32. 900. but the difference in
fact was exactly $50 ,26S. The $4,000
cannot be counted part of the difference,
for the reason that the Cleveland comps
ny figured on the stone delivered dressed
both times. None of the other stone
cutters figured any more for the cutting
under the last specification than they did
the first. But allowing for the sake of
argument, that there was SIS, 200 differ.
enee in the cutting, still it leaves S34. 26s
to explain away. The difference between
their bid, under which the contract is
now awarded and the contract that was
recommended by Major McGinuis to the
Malone Stone company. is S37 1903,
or in other words Major McGinnis
recommended that the government
contract with the Malone Bros. 1900
yards at an average of ST. 80 per yard
which is 1929, $40. and the present con
tract with the Cleveland company il
Z 800 Yards at S12 80. which would be
1872 1897, which is a difference of S37,
3O3. Some of your readers confound
the Malone Stone company, of Cleve
land, with the Cleveland Stone company
but they are not the same. The Cleve>
lands bid at the first letting was Z 300
yards, at an average of $40 IS per yard,
which is $l44 905
l also interviewed MIR. Worthington,
and be stated TO me very positively, that
while he had number of requests to go
into pool, still upon examining the spe>
ci1cations. he could not see where he
would gain anything by gong into the
pool, because the manner in which the
specifications were drawn, demanding
2 900 yards month. IN .de il almost inns
possible for snv one, except the Cleve-
land company's quarries To furnish the
stone. and left them comparatively with
out any competition. Consequently
he figured accordingly, as be was told
that the qusrries would be visited before
the contract was let, and if this had been
done he would have got the Job. as the
Malone company could not furnish ones
third that much month, consequently
the drawing of the specifications made it
unnecessary for them to enter pool to
get an exorbitaut price.
l am creditably informed that Major
McGinnis did not draw the speciica-
tons. During my examination before
Maj. Sanger he said it was not the duty
of the officer to examine the bids to see
IL there was pool put upon them or to
see if better bids could be had. but to
recommend the best they have before
them; consequently the government has
no safeguard against monopoly except
some private citizen takes up the case.
