Mr. Cables KeDly.

The personal attacks made upon Pres
ident Gable in regard to his management
OF the Rock Island road by eastern papers
that are controlled by Jay Gould and his
henchmen, received an explicit answer by
Mr.. Cable at the meeting held in New
York. He vent there with the full de-
termination to show up the hypocrisy of
the would be retormers, and he had in his
possession indisputable evidence, sus>
tanned by affidavits, of violations OF the
''gentlemen's agreement" by jay Gould's
and other lines in competition with the
Rock Island. This evidence when pros
duced, it is stated, created a sensation
hal the effect of bomb exploded In
the ranks of the Gould men. 1t showed
that Gould's Missouri Pacific was the
principal offender, not only in the Pueblo
ticket case already made public but also
in freight matters. 1t was shown BY Mr.
Cable that grain was being taken by
Gould's Missouri Pacific from Kansas
City and Kansas points to St. Louis at
less than the agreed rate. He also
showed that the Santa Fe had been guilty
of violation of the agreement and de-
mahded the prompt discharge of the
offenders, He also referred 10 the
troubles regarding the running of fast
trains between Chicago and Denver and
for which the Union Pacific WAS mainly
responsible. 1t was deemed best under
the circumstances to postpone the con-
sideration of the 'gentlemen's agree
ment," and in the meantime ind out
what excuses the parties guilty of the
otfenses charged against them had to
offer.

Elected In case Change is Made
From Township Organization.
The matter of abandoning township
organization and adopting the commits
sioner plan is creating considerable IN ter,
est throughout the county. and the PEG
pie are inquiring into the feasibility of
making change. Among the questions
received on the subject at this Office is
| the following:
Will the ARGUS please publish the Hi
nois state law governing the appointment
of commissioners. with their duties. com
pensation, ETC.?
The first thing necessary is to secure a
petition of at least one.fifth of the legal
voters of the county. which in Rock ISL
and's case would require TIA names. If
such petition is secured it is then the duty
of the board of supervisors to submit to
the voters of the county at the next gem
eral election. the question of the contin>
usnce of township organization. II the
vote shows majority in favor of the
discontinuance of township organization,
then special election shall be held on
the first Monday in January next follow
ing, for the election of three county CONS
missioners for one, two and three years
respectively, the members OF the board to
determine their length of service by lot.
At each yearly genera. election following,
one commissioner should be chosen
Upon their taking the oath of office they
shall assume control OF county affairs
The statutes allow them So per day com>

who is seated in carved chair holding o
wand in his hand. Before him is passing q
procession Of priests bearing sacred i'm
ages. In the far corner OF the tomb on the
right hand from the door Is the shaft Of the
mummy pit, a square-mouthed well cut In
the black rock. We had brought beam Of
thornwood, and this was now laid across
the pit and rope made fast to 1t. Then
Ali-who, to do him justice, is courageous
thief-took mold Of the rope, and, putting
some candles into the breast Of his robe,
placed his bare feet against the smooth
sides Of the well and began to descend with
great rapidity. Very soon he had van
lshed into the blackness, and the agi-
tation Of the cord alone told us that any
thing was going on below. At last the rope
ceased shaking, and faint shout came
rumbling up the well, announcing Ali's safe
arrival. Then, far below, tiny star Of
light appeared. He had lit the candle,
thereby disturbing hundreds Of bats, that
fitted up in an endless stream and as ST.
lently as spirits. The rope was hauled up
again, and now it was my turn; but as de-
clined to trust my neck TO the hand-over-
hand method Of descent, the end Of the cord
was made fast round my middle, and was
lowered bodily into those sacred depths.
Nor was 1t q pleasant journey, for II the
master OF the situation above had made any
mistake I should have been dashed To
pieces. Also, the bats continually few into
my face and clung to my hair, and have q

minutes Of jerking and dangling, found
myself standing In narrow passage by the
side Of the worthy Ali covered with bats
and perspiration, and with the skin rubbed
of my knees and lmuckles. Then another
man came down, hand over hand, like q
sailor, and, as the rest were told TO stop
above, we were ready " 90 on. Ali went
