OF Mr.. Benjamin +. Pulliam, for


OF AIR. Benjamin f. PuIliam, for
merly sheriff of Culpeper county, Va,
and father-in-law of Mr.. r. ID. Shu-
CERT of this place, whose death was
mentioned last week, the Baltimore
San says that he was one of the old
fashioned Yirginians who had to de-
pend largely upon his own exertions in
early life. His father died whenhe was
five years old, and he went to school
when his mother was able to send him.
When quite young he clerked in a
store for time, then taught school,
and then went to school himself and
completed his education. In 1S47 he
became chief manager of the Shenan-
doah Iron Works, in Page county.
and after continuing in that position
for five years returned to Culpeper
and farm life. During the late war
he was a purchasing agent for the
Confederate army. Since 1870 he
had held the Office of sheriff by ap-
pointment or election. The County
Court has now appointed his son, Al
fred w. Pulliam, to the position, for
which he is eminently fitted by ex-
perience and high character.

University of IlIiaOis.

The University of Illinois offers one
free scholarship for each county, to that
student who obtains the highest average,
not less than 80 and having no mark less
than 70. in a public examination to he
held by the county superintendent, on the
first Friday and Saturday in June, 1889,
at such place within the county Ms he
shall direct.
The persons who desire to enter the
examination must be residents of the
county, and must be not less than fifteen
years of age.
Each contestant may choose one of the
following lists of studies as that upon
which he will be examined, viz:
/. To enter upon a technical course
in the university: Algebra. including
quadratic equations; geometry, plane
and solid; natural philosophy; physiol-
Ogy; botany; English composition.
2. To enter upon literary course in
the university: algebra and geometry as
in the first list; natural philosophy or
physiology; four books of Cesar's COM
mentaries; the orations of Cicero against
Catalina, and those for the poet Archias
and the Mcmillan law; and the first six
books of Virgil's Eneid.
The county superintendent must certi.
fy that the contestant is fairly proficient
in the common English branches.
The scholarship, il secured, will be
good for four years course in the uni
versity, and in that time will receive
from the payment of fees to the amount
OF ninety dollars. If pupils from &C.
credited schools, who might otherwise be
admitted to the university without ex-
animation wish to secure the scholarship,
they must attend this examination.
Other students who wish for an examina-
ton near their own homes. may attend,
and. il successful, will be admitted to
the university even If not securing the
scholarship.
The county superintendent is not re-
quired to hold this examination, but will
doubtless do so for the accommodation
of his constituents if he knows that there
are pupils in his county that desires to
take it. 1t is also important that proper
notice may be given so that any who
might wish to compete may have an op-
portunity. Any who wish to take the
should inform the county
before the first day of
May, so that proper arrangements may
be made. For further information ask

The.Post surgeon.

The Davenport papers are getting
wrought up to high state of displeasure
over the appointment of DR.. G. G. Craig.
OF this city. as post surgeon of Rock ISL
and arsenal. The Tribune and Tymes
commenced the attack and Sunday
morning the Democrat Gazette published
very unfair article headed. THE Island
Outrage" The ARGUS is sorry to see its,
Iowa contemporaries adopting the cadSrse
they are pursuing for two>reasons
Firstly. because their railing and pro,es.
tations will avail nspg6t, and secondly,
because they arc stepping beyond the
bounds Of Reputable journalism in max.
iue s6unwarranted attack on the person.
* character of DR.. Craig.
The whole trouble with the Davenport
kickers is that a physician from their city
was not selected as post surgeon. Itwas
expected that DR.. Grant would be re.
moved, and anticipating that event DR..
Allen, republican physician, put forth
every effort to secure the appointment,
and because he was defeated in his
purpose, he or his friends (and he could
close their mouths if he desired) have
systematically gone to work to have DR..
Craig's appointment reconsidered, and
in their efforts to do so, have instituted
unfair and despicable methods to gain
this end. While DR.. Craig has been es.
peclally careful not to say anything det-
rimental to DR.. Allen, profession.
ally or otherwise, and advised his friends
to indulge in no personalities whatever,
that gentleman has failed to extend the
same courtesy to DR.. Craig.
The ARGUS IS not given to endorsing
republican appointments, but it likes to
see fair play. When President Cleve-
land appointed DR.. Grant four years ago.
the ARGUS endorsed the appointment,
although it necessitated the removal of
Rock Island physician. The much
boosted civil service reform myth of the
republican administration having been
already dispelled, the ARGUS looks for
general sweep of democratic officials in
all stations of public service. And in
this particular case, while we would like
to see DR.. Grant retained. as democrat,
it is clear to see that it is the intention of
the administration to replace him with
republiean-in fact this end has already
been accomplished. The united attack
upon DR.. Craig by the Davenport press,
indicates a tendency To make it an affair
of Davenport against Rock Island, 8
spirit of selfshness which we regret to see
manifested.
