A Dakota insurance swlndIe-

special telegram from Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, says that detectives are
hunting for Dexter G. Turner, who, accord
ing to statements OF State Auditor Taylor,
is one OF the most accomplished insurance
rascaIs that ever operated in this section
of country. Turner said the state
auditor to a reporter, "came to South Da
kota in June this year, representing him
self as the state agent for South Dakota OF
the Citizens, Life Association OF Cherokee,
Iowa. Agents were appointed among the
farmers AMI laboring classes. Business
came pouring in at an enormous rate,
notes or cash being taken for premiums
from policy holders, or anything that could
be squeezed from customers. Neither Turn
er or any OF his agents have a certificate of
authority issued by my Office and their
work has been fraudulent scheme from
its inception. The amount OF business
done is enormous, and policies written will
reach a million dollars. Over 500, 900

Switzerland is preparing for herself a
trouble which will very probably assume
proportions undreamed OF. The lorcibie
suppression OF the Salvation army ty the
civil authorities OF Geneva is step, the
end OF which cannot be foreseen, and is I'M
derstood to be taken against the advice OF
NJ. Droz, minister OF foreign affairs. Most
OF the detail in Switzerland are English
and their comrades at headquarters will not
see them subjected to any indignities
without serious remonstranee. The army
has done a vast deal OF good among the
poor OF London, during and since the
great strike feeding huntry aud sheltering
the homeless, and the most brutal GRIMM
ais OF Whitechapel would fight in their be-
half. Not only will strong pressure be
brought upon the marquis of Salisbury to
intercede IN the behalf OF the church mill
tant, but threats are made through the
press that in case they are treated with I'M
due harsbness it will be made a point OF
principle for British tourists IN Switzer-
land to avoid Geneva for the future. thus
depriving it's hotels and tradesmen OF no
insignificant sum annually.

SHIELDING A MURDERER.
A Coroner's Jury Renders a Verdict
ar Variance With the Facts.

at variance WIFI ttlO CStOs
A sensation was caused in West Chester
college, New York, on the 31st ust., when
became known that the body OF John
Rusk, young man who was shot on the
night OF December 10, at Throggs Neck, as
alleged by Thomas Hart, had been die
inferred at st. Peters Episcopal church
yard in West Chester. On the Saturday
before Coroner Matthews concluded his in
quest in the case and the jury surprised
everybody by rendering the following YER
dict: I'VE find that John Rusk came to MS
death from acute congestion and edemia OF
the lungs" Immediately after the inquest
Coroner Matthews went to the White
Plains Jail and informed Sheriff Schirmer
OF tho verdict found by the jury and sug-
gested that Hart be released on bail. The
sheriff said that he had no authority to
discharge Hart and that the latter would
remain in iail unless the court ordered his
release. Dis strict Attornty Baker was
not satisfied with the coroner's inquest
aud decided to make sn Investigation
on his own. account. He accordingly
employed Isaac Butler, sexton of ST.
Peters church, to disinter the remains OF
Rusk This was done, and Doctors Lewis
Livingston Seaman, OF New York, and b
W. Lyon, OF New Rochelle held an aut rp-
sy. They found that Rusk instead OF dy
ing OF conges tion OF the lungs, died et a pls-
tolshot wound the bullet having penetfat'

OF Drs. seaman and Lyon will be presented
to the grand Jury, which meets in Febru-
a,v when the case will be thoroughly
investigated. In the meantime Hart Will
be kept in the Jail. The shooting of Rusk,

Fire insurance, which no good business

necessary in view of the fast recurring

Brsndreth's Pills are the Oldest, safest
and best blood purifier and purgative
known. They are purely vegetable,
therefore harmless. They always pro-
duce the same effect. Other purgatiyes
require increased doses and finally cease
acting altogether. A course of one or
two of Brandreth's Pills taken each night
is a positive cure for constipation, head
ache and all bilious disorders.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

speaks of this because it has learned OF

who have been inquiring for the enumer-

called at their houses. There should be
no carelessness or neglect about this mat
ter. Not a soul should be omitted It
is not only the right and privilege of

justice to Rock Island it should have its en-

Back in the on Harness

When the state Y. NJ. C. A. convention
met in Rock Island couple of years
ago, one of the most earnest and enthu-
siastic workers that came TO Rock Island
as delegate was Henry P. Day, of Peo-
ria. Incredible as it may seem, Mr.
Day had formerly been newspaper man
and he demonstrated fully his capabilities
In that line by the excellent reports he
furnished the ARGUS from day to day of
the proceedings. which in fact were &C,
cepted as the best and most reliable pub
lished. Mr.. Day was fond of the drudg,
cry OF repOrtorial work, but the more
he went into the varied experiences of
newspsperdom the more he imagined that
he was drifting away from his mission to
save souls. So he abandoned active
journalism and went into the insurance
business. rather peculiar change indeed.
when prompted by the motive stated, but
Day thought he was on the right track
and it was thus that he came to Rock
Island. But Day has had sufficient exper-
fence to realize his mistake. He has
found that there is no broader field for
usefulness and influence than that afford
ed by the press. and with a clear
conscience. firm conviction and renewed
determination he has returned to his first
love. We will let the Irdnscript tell the
rest. only adding that than Mr..
Day there is not brighter, more active
reporter in the state of Illinois:
Like the prodigal son who has deserted
the mansion of his father. Henry P. Day
has come back to journalism, and has
once more decided to identify himself
with local newspaper work in Peoria.
Like the good sensible soul that he is.
Henry has come to the very proper con-
clusiOn that the pen is mightier than the
pulpit the sword, the broadaxe or the
Calling gun. He has learned that in no
position can q man serve the Lord as well
and rescue as many souls from the fires
of eternal fury as pushing pencil on
newspaper in a big city. The
lair of the festive and much sought for
item is not always in the gay drawing
room amidst the pampered stars of So
ciety, but on the contrary, is as often in
the howell surrounded by filth and
nurtured by ignorance. In the daily
rounds of reporter, if he be sincere
and soulful Christian, like the good
Brother Day. he can every now and then
yank o brand from the fire as easily as
picking potatoe bugs in garden patch.
Days mission upon earth is to elevate
and purify the morals of mankind, and
journalism is his only field. For time
be was lead to believe that the pulpit was
bis calling. but he has since learned that
