A Story OF Bismarck,

The second volume Of the memoirs Of
the Duke of Goiha, which has made such
q stir in the social and politnal world Of
Germany, contains another anecdote Of
Bismarck--the latest accession to the
ranks of doctors Of divinity. When
secretary of the Prussian legation
at Frankfort, he was asked By a
lady why he objected to the APP
pointment of Count Thun to tie
position of ambassador. He replied that
1t was not a fit place for q man Of his
extraordinary talents, there being SO
little to do. ''Then," continued the lady,
't>rhy do you retain your officer 'tOki
madam, ii is another thing with me. l
have always been a lazy, good for moth
ing fellow. and cared for nothing ave
my gun. Here ! can hunt is well as ON
my farm and enjoy my siesta." The
years have changed, Bismarck and his
ideas. San Francisco Argonaut.

Tho Majors whisky Shot.

Some interesting things are remem-
bered by Shern1an's Atlanta campaign
veterans In connection with Lieut..
Bundy, commanding a battery of artil-
slery, now known as Mai. Bundy, and
one of the editorial writer's on Deacon
Shepard's New York Mail and Express.
Lieut.. Buudy had a tooth for a good
teddy, and n morning at Kennesaw
Mountain had sampled some diamond
b. commissary with some other officers,
and reached his battery in excellent
spirits. Soon Col. Geary rode that way,
and, Observing the lieutenant, gruffly ad-
dressed him thus:
Lieut.. Bundy, you are drunk"
Bundy answered back, as quick as a
flash:
@Col. Geary, you are a Did liarl"
Here was . situation. Geary was
about to put Bundy under arrest, saying
to him; "You are SO drunk you don't
know that gun from q hollow log"
81 don't, chr I'll show you whether I
do or not. See that bunch of rebs over
there?" pointing to q group of Confeder-
ate officers taking an observation from
an eminence half a mile away. "Just
watch me scatter EN-"
Selling the tail of a gun, he jerked it
around, got the range, adjusted every
thing to his liking, gave the order to fire,
exploding a four Inch shell right In the
midst of the group of Confederates, who
hastily. retired to cover, carrying with
them their wounded.
Col. Geary withdrew his, offensive re
marks, complimented Bundy on his skill
and rode away.
Lieut.. Bundy was an expert artilierist,
and could land a shell about where he
wanted to.

DEN. HIPPOLYTE. GfUlne Is anxious
and suspicious. He has thrown scores
of prominent citizens into prison for sus-
pected sympathy with Hippolyte. He is
pressing into the military service every
laborer and farmer he can seize. The
country is in a state of anarchy. Voc
dooism is rampant among the half civil
lied inhabitants of the interior. Horri-
be tales of sacrifices of young girls in
these rites are told. Murder and rapine
flourish in the absence of law. Agri-
cultural processes are abandoned. Mob
rule prevails in the capital. Legitme's
army was disastrously defeated at Hin
cha about ten days ago; again on Dec,
%, while on retreat, and again a few
miles from the capital. The remnant
fled to the city. The leaders took refuge
IN the French consulate, fearing mob
violence. Twoof Legitme's leading gen
erals deserted. One was caught and
shot by Hippolyte. The other escaped.
The. French minister is very unpopu-
lar on account of his open alliance with
Legitme. The French wal ships cabled
for have not arrived.
Legitme captured the schooner Au-
rora in Dominican waters, and by rifing
her mail bag found evidence of treach-
cry on the part of about thirty of his
supposed supporters in Port-au-Prince,
whom he thereupon imprisoned. The
seizure was a violation of international
law.
The Hayden Republic is still anchored
under the Galena's guns, waiting for dis.
infection. The indemnity has not yet
been paid. 1t is said that Legitme has
put all the money of the treasury in his
pocket, ard will flee as soon as his fall
is assured. He has issued an address de-
ploring the use of power by the great
American republic to Cypress the feeble.
He says, however, that the fault lies not
with the American people or govern
ment, but with Minister Thompson, who
has led tiiefiisto wrong action. The Hay
ten Republic not only ran the blockade,
but supplied the enemy with provisions
and arms, and by all the rules of inter.
national laws she was alegal prize.

The people of Muscatine and bridge
builders are still begging the aid Of Rock
Island county in the matter of erecting q
bridge to carry the people OF Illinois over
to Iowa to trade. Here il the latest
piece of gaul. 1t is from the Journal of
last evening:
There is considerable misunderstood.
ing in Drury township. Ill. about the
law governing the expenditure of the
money raised by issuing bonds for i'm
proving roads. The law is that only such
an amount of bonds can be issued, as the
road actually costs. That the commits
sioners are required to advertise for bids
for the work and let it by contract. That
the money obtained can be used for no
other purpose than that stated In the
petition.
The proper course for the commission
ers to pursue il after the tax is voted to
estimate the cost of the work and petit
ton the supervisors Of Rock Island coun-
ty to pay half of the expense. under Sec
ton 10. chapter 121, Code of Illinois,
which provides that the county must
pay one half the cost Of embankment
forming approach to bridge. which the
road across the bottom will be when the
bridge across the Mississippi is under
construction.
1t is estimated that the road across the
bottom will cost under $4,000. II the
county pays half it will leave only S2.-
500 for DrurY to pay. and she will more
than save 1t each year on the saving In
toll on the present amount Of travel by
the ferry.
II the people Of Muscstine want 9
bridge. so badly. let them build 1t. Rocl
Island county farmers are not obliged
either to help pay for it or to pay ferry
age. and the Rock Island county board
has all 1t can do to keep up the expenses
incident to their section of Illinois
without helping build up Iowa.

CONTEST COMMENCED.
A Petition for Investigation Of the
Mayo rally Vote Entered.
What In Sought and Why---Is Fred.
erick Haas or VIM. McCOnOchie the
Legally Elected Mayor OF ROCK Isl.
andy

The petition to the county court for q
contest as to the election of VIM. Nc
Conochie as mayor of Rock Island, has
been prepared by Judge Wilkinson and
VIM. McEniry. counsel for Mr.. Frederick
Hass and the democratic city com.
mittee. and will be filed in the county
morning. The petition Is of the nature
of a bill In chancery and summons, and
1t Is for service at the July law term OF
the county court. The petition first sets
up the nature of the city of Rock Island,
the present n municipality having been in
corpOrated in December. 1879. that there
are in the city seven wards and the same
number of voting places, that the munich.
pal year begins on the first Monday IN
May, etc. Then it goes on to say that
there was a municipal election held
on April 2 last, when as cam
didstes for mayor, the official
count showed that Frederick Hass
received 1907 of all the votes cast, and
VIM. McCono chic ,229 that these figures
were found to be the findings of the off,
cial count as canvassed by the council as
printed in the daily ARGUS, an official
paper of the city. a copy of which is sub
mitted containing the same.
The petition represents that certain
errers are supposed to exist in the count
ing up and computing of the number of
ballots cast and that by those errors and
mistakes the actual vote for Frederick
Hass was reduced and the vote for Wm.
McConochie increased.
The petition further AYERS that in the
different wards of the city, particularly
the Second and Seventh. the votes of
divers persons were received and counts
ed for McConnchie. who were not cleo
tors or legal voters. This allegation is
the one that has reference to certain of
the students attending Augus,ana coll
lege who are mere transltory residents in
Rock Island. only living here while they
are completing their studies at that insti
tuition. and the names of thirty six of
whom. giving their place of residence on
the college rolls, having been published
in the ARGUS on April 9. last
In conclusion the petition prays the
poll books, tally lists of the last election
be produced and inspected in the pres
ence of, and under the direction of the
court, and all errors corrected and the
true results known and declared. and the
ballots of all persons voting for McCon-
ochie who are shown to be not electors or
legal voters shall be discarded and the
true results of the election declared &C.
cording to the Judgment of the court.

The Harper.

There is one institution In Rock Island
that has always been source Of great
and justifsble pride to its citizens, one
too that has always done credit not only
to the city of Rock Island, but to itself
Reference is made to the Harper, the best
and most deservedly popular hotel west
of Chicago ard east of Omaha. The
we'll established reputation achieved by
this hotel under the proprietorship Of
Mr.. Harper has not been in the least
diminished under Mr.. Homer J. Lowrey's
management. Indeed the local and
travelling public have manifested an in
creasing appreciation of the additional
accommodations and conveniences that
have been provided by the latter in his
manifest desire TO keep pace with the pro-
gressve spirit OF the times, and he has
but followed out the aims OF the owner in
putting in modern improvements as the
need for them appeared. Some of these
are the passenger elevator. electric illum>
ination throughout, etc.
The Harper has just undergone the
spring house cleaning. every room hav-
ing been thoroughly renovated and re-
frescoed. and provided with new and
firstclass appoin .ments. In addition to
the advantage of having a hotel so ad
mirably designed and arranged, Manager
Lowry has been fortunate in having the
best and most experienced assistants. all
Of whom have for years been Identified
with the house. Messrs. r. G. Willerton
and Chas. McHugh are the accommodate
ing clerks, Michael O'Connor. the polite
and experienced steward. and Mrs. How
ard, the excellent housekeeper. while the
less important positions are held by
trustworthy hands, John Russ being the
head engineer and Pat Kelly, porter. etc.
These facts taken with its unexcelled &C
commodation both as to lodging and
boarding. and its superior means Of pro-
lection against fire earn for it the COM
pliments it has rec eived and the reputation
it has attained.
