It has not been many days since Mi
chael Kelly was arrested and bound over
to the grand jury on the charge of ins
cendiarism. There has been no inves>
tigation or theory of examination 70 an
extent TO prove the charge. The last
fire was the barn of j. Moorehead. The
children, who were left at home during
the absence of the father at Muscatine.
had reason to look after stock in the
pasture. While away from the premises
they noticed smoke issuing from the
barn. Through their efforts and that OF
neighbors, the horses. harness and some
machinery were removed from the burn
ing building. This and the first fire
mystified the people of the town.

The ARGUS made mention of q flight of
pigeons from Chicago to Gable Wednes-
day. Mr.. j. Russell. the carrier pigeon
fancier of this region. sent in yesterday
cage of two birds by Conductor
Palmer to be expressed to Tiskilwa,
there to be let loose. The third ship
ment of the experiments will be by three
birds to be sent to Chicago last evening
Pigeons have been used In times of W ar
and utilized by the press to convey mes
sages before and since the days of tele>
graphy. Mr.. Russell is not crank in this
line, but believes in developing and ex-
perimenting with the winged tribe. The
starting and arriving time of the pigeons
will be looked for by parties who are in
any way interested.

Though Shaken Like a Leaf

BY the most trivial causes, weak nerves
are easily susceptible of invigoration. a
term which also imports, in this instance,
quietude. The nervous have but to use
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters systematic
cally to overcome that Representatives
ness of the human sensorium. which is
subversive of all bodily comfort and men,
tai tranquility. and which reacts most
hurtfully upon the system. The difficult
| ty underlying this. as well as many other
ailments. is imperfect assimilation, no
less than incomplete digestion of the
food. In the discharge of both the diges>
tive and assimilative functions. the Bit
tiers are the most potent, the most relis-
BILE auxiliary. As the body regains vieor
and regularity by its aid. the brain and
nervous system are also benefited. Per,
sons subject to the influence of malaria,
dyspeptic and rheumatic invslids, and
persons whose kidneys are inactive,
should also use the Bitters.

Among The white-washing resolutions
passed by Buford post in regard to Rev.
McPheeters. is the following:
ResolDed, That instead of feeling the
least indignant. this post hereby endorses
the action of said committee on such ex
penditure to Comrade McPheeters for his
able and excellent address delivered on
said occasion. and that too at less ex-
pense than such services have heretofore
been rendered.
Pray what is the usual expense of such
services? What has Buford post paid on
previous occasions? Are there other
patriotic comrades like McPheeters, who
have the same undying affection for the
dead soldiers that they have to be paid
for singing requiem over their graves

The Press., 1889-12-19

One of the many matters which will be urged upon the attention of congress at this session is the measure proposing an amendment to the constitution changing the day of the inauguration of the presi- dent from the 4th of March to the 3Oth of April, the day upon which Gen. Washing ton first assumed the presidency. It is pret- ty well known that the 4th of March is not a very comfortable day,as rule, in this eli mate, and 1t is considered desirable, there fore, to have the inaugural ceremonies take place at time of the year when more com fort can be had and less danger to life and health encountered. Many deaths of citi zens in all parts of the country resulted from exposure incident to participation in President Harrison's inauguration last March, and similar experiences are gone through every four years. An energetic effort will be made, in consequence, to in- duce congress to change inauguration day to happier season of the year.
The Press., 1889-12-19

An influenza epidemic has appeared in Flu rope, and is travelling at express speed all over the continent. Big bugs and little folks, kings and bod filters alike succumb to it. It isn't dangerous, but mighty unpleasant. It has appeared in New York, and may be. ex- pected to have. its little spree out in this coun- try. It is hoped that it may not tarry long, and if we all must have it, we may as well nerve ourselves and pray to have it quickly over with. The disease not being dangerous to life, one can, therefore, afford to follow it's well marked course over this continent with amused interest. In St. Petersburg, where it was first detected and labelled, it still rages, but with diminished force. Quite a number of grand dukes are either suffering or recovering from it, while the British, Ger man, Turkish, Chinese and Persian ambassa- dors are all confined to their rooms.
