Three of the Whiteside boys and sew
ersl others killed fifty>six rabbits on

previous.
There is to be an oyster supper this

pairing the church.
MIR. s. s. Beals' son, three years of age,
was taken very sick on Saturday evening
last. The parents were afraid it would
prove diphtherIc Group.
Mrs. James Adams presented her hus>
band with Thanksgiving present in the
shape Of fine baby boy, who weighed
nine and half pounds.
The Western Economic association has
issued an address, the object OF which is
to have the next United States census
| show the mortgage Indebtedness on the
farms and homes of the country.
Within the past six months seventy
five thousand farmers in Michigan have
joined the Grange. The reason given is
that they have been forced TO do some
thing in self defense against monopolies
and trusts.
On Friday evening last there was
dance at the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs.
hdthDuIu ENdUS anu WIG,
of Davenport, and Mr.. Jessie and Miss
Bertha Cowley, Of Moline. were present.
Williams brothers were the musicians of

We are informed there were about one
hundred present at the marriage Of Mr..
Frank Wake with Miss Nettie Beal at the
residence of the brides parents on
Thanksgiving Day and that there we're
innumerabIe presents both useful and
ornamental.
We would suggest that Vice> President
Morton place the following Latin quota
ton over the main entrance to the
''Shoreham's" bar buffet apartments:
-"Qui tdcH per alum. .frcit per se,"-be
who does thing by the agency of am
other does it himself.
Jack Sheppard and Dick Turpin, both
professional highwsymen, use 10 console
themselves and ease their consciences by
claiming what they stole from the rich
they gave to the poor. The tariff rob-
bers are even denied that much consola-
ton, because they steal from the poor
and give it to the rich.
The trains as now run from Joslin are
very accommodating and convenient
The first passenger leaves at 6:55 arriving
in Rock lslang at s, so that a person
would have two hours and thirty,fve
minutes to attend to shopping. leaving
Rock Island at 1895 a. m. arriving at
Joslin at l1:35. just in time for dinner.
Mr.. Gregory Brown is the champion
corn grower in these parts. His rows
are sixty>tive rods long which turn out
eleven bushels TO the row, which at least,
will make 10 bushels to the acre. There
are about twenty,four acres in the field
which has been pastured quite number
of years. The land was SUBSIDIZED and
the corn was planted in drills, one grain
in place six or seven inches apart.
The bulk of the poverty among work.

attributable 10 Incorporated earnings.
and not to free trade. The republican
press of this country Is chronic liar on
this subject. If the poverty in England
is tracesble TO free trade, may we infer
then that the poverty and restitution that
exists in France. Germany and the United
States is due TO protectionf
Mr.. Elsie Walker, son of Mr.. James
Walker. was driving q one>horse buggy
TO the party on Friday evening last in
company with Miss Cox, of near Rapids
City. when the coupling pin broke which
caused the horse to run away with the
shafts and two fore wheels. Both were
thrown out. and Elsie had his face and
nose skinned, but Miss Cox sustained no
injury. The horse was found eating hay
in the yard OF Mr.. Chsuncey Brown near
Rock river
The frantic efforts Of republican news
papers and politicians TO shield vice. Pres.
ident Morton from the odium of keeping
q saloon AT the national capital is quite
langhsble.
1t is said vice. President Morton feels
very indignant at the Liquor Dealers ssso-
citation of Terre Hsute, Ind, for taking
the liberty To elect him an honorary mem
Der. Birds of feather will flock to-
gether."
A correspondent from Washington
says. MIR. Morton himself says he has
rented all the rooms in the "Shoreham
for an aggregate rental of $40, 900 year,
while the help alone, without counting
fuel, light or any other subject of ex>
pense, will cost 1000 a north or 1885,
600 q year" Therefore the bar buffet
instead of being an incidental feature OF
the Shoreham, will be the main branch Of
the establishment out of which the main
profits must come.
At this writing l have before me
diagram of the Shorehsm Cafe" which
shows both a bar and buffet, fourteen
tables, cashier, cigars. three doors which
are entrances from Fl street, upon two of
these are printed the word cafe" Vice
President Morton draws s. 900 salary
| from the government of this country and
yet he may have as good right 10 run q
bar buffet and employ a manager as any
one else. don't know about that. but
what is the use of lying so much in order
| to screen himf
We notice that the Union q self
ssnctified. immaculate sort of way claims
| that the Lord has been very good to Rock
Island during the last year, in not only
| paving Second avenue with vitrihed
brick, but that he has elected q republican
mayor and other officials. Is it not Dor
dering upon blasphemy 10 claim that the
| Lord is author of the bad as well as the
| goodp But then that is only on par
with Harrison claiming that 1.-THE Lord
elected him. II that is republican bias =
phemous doctrine, then l suppose they
will now say that the Lord put the idea
into Morton's Uranium TO start q saloon,
in order that Ben may have another
chance to ''set 'em up"
