The NameIesS Bee Disease.

Within the past few years much com
plant has been made by beekeepers of Il
disease among bees which not only de-
pleted the colony but was made manifest
by the appearance of the diseased bees.
They look black because of loss of hair,
much as do robber bees or old bees in
spring, and frequently make strange mo-
tons i'll front of the hives. as though
dancing or in commissions. They are
frequently dragged out of the hives by
the other bees. This, like foul brood, is
supposed to be due to fungoid attack
In this only mature bees seem to become
victims, though the incubation appears
to come through the queen. Thus it is
found that superseding the queen with
a healthy one cures the malady 1t is
also reported that abundance of salt
water placed close by the hives, where
the bees can gain ready access to It, will
cure this ''nameless bee disease. A. J

A Card 10 the Pubic.

Our attention has been called to the
circulation of rumors on the street. charg
ing us with combining with dealers IN a
certain line of goods to keep out compe'
tition by refusing to rent our stores or
Second avenue to any one wanting to en-.
gage in their line of business. We pub
licly deny the charge, it being false in
every particular. We also deny the
charge that any party or parties are now
or have been paying us rent to keep OuI
stores closed. The change of grade and
paving of Second avenue made it neces,
sary for us to remodel the old Darts hall
building. The second floor is a. very
large, fine room. suitable for lodge or AS
sembly purposes. The stores on the first
floor show for themselves. We offer the
whole building or any part of it. to any
one wanting to rent for any reputable
business, and will try to meet his views
as to rental. fixtures, etc. We have as
much interest as any concern can posi-
bly, have in the growth and prosperity OF
the city and most certainly would not do
anything detrimental to our interests and
those of the city of Rock Island. Very
respectfully. HENRY DARTS Sons

Feeding Swine.

In order to obtain the best results all
around the pigs should be Taught to eat
as early in life as possible, In some
cases this will be when they are about
two weeks old. The time of teaching
them to eat will vary. The size of the
litter in some cases, and III others
the amount of the milk given by the
dam, will govern it. Teaching them to
eat is best accomplished by placing a
small trough out of reach of the dam
and supplying it with warm, sweet,
SKINNED milk and soaked maize When
the pigs get fairly to eating be careful
to increase the feed as gradually as the
pigs power of assimilation increa Ses.
Right here care should be exercised in
feeding the dam. Avoid getting her ''off
her feed" There is nothing 80 well
adapted to make young pigs grow as
their dams milk. While feeding the
pigs literally the sow should be fed al
she will eat of the food best cal culated
to make her give large quantities OF
milk. Good shorts mixed with bran, OF
the shorts alone made into a slop and
soaked between feeds, accompanied by q
few ears of corn. make COOL milk

Sarve0 Him Rirbf

The life of the street car driver is beset
with trials and aggravations. Some peo-
pie think because man is car driver he
is football and that they can kick him
about to their hearts content, and
the driver has no redress either ia the
eyes OF the public or the courts. Yester-
day witnessed an illustration ia Moline OF
the fact that driver can resent be
ing imposed urOn and that when he
discharges his duties faithfully the
court will sustain him and punish
those who interfere. A teamster named
II. L. Kerr was crossing the track
Of the Moline & Rock Island COM
panY in Moline yesterday, when some
kindling fell from the wagon. He
stopped with the rear end of his wagon
on the track and began fixing the wood
more firmly on the wagon. Street car %
came along. and after stopping waiting
patiently minute or two. Driver Olson
asked him politely to please drive up a
little and let the car pass. With
an oath Kerr replied he would moi
drive up until he was ready. Olson re-
peated the request several times, but each
time got an insulting answer. Finally
the driver in fear of getting behind time
got Off and stepping to the heads of the
Transfers horses led them up a step OF
so, 80 as to clear the track, and then
was in the act of taking stick of wood
from the rail- when Kerr, calling him
by most indecent name, rushed upon
him and struck him on the cheek and
mouth, following up with about dozen
blows on the arm and breast, Olson all
the time trying to evade him and get on
his car. Kerr was arrested, plead guilty.
and was fined So and costs by Magistrate
Kerns. Kerr seems to have labored
under the mistaken notion that he had a
right to obstruct the car, and that the
driver had no right to interfere with his
team, but he found out different.

the serious stage long ago. One unmis>
taxable evidence of its extent was afford-
ed when corn, wheat and oats jumped to
such high prices. Everything went up in
price. Potatoes, tomatoes. fruits and
every sort of vegetable scared away out
sight and poor people could not even sf-
ford to buy canned goods. The longer
the rain remained up in the clouds the
higher prices scared. Now it is hoped
prices will descend in proportion as the
rain came down, for it did not come too
late to save the crops. although they will
necessarily be a little short. Some men
have made thousands of dollars out of the
drouth. Those who were loaded with
anything eatable made huge profits.
Holders of canned goods realized or had
an opportunity to realize thousands of
dollars on stock they could hardly give

TIE LONG LOST RETURNS.

Hiram Gregg, the Kidnapped Boy of
Forty Years Ago, Comes Back TO
HIS Mother After Nearly half Cen
tury's Separation.
Some time ago the ARGUS published
the facts concerning the discovery by his
brother. Robert Gregg, of this city. of
Hiram Gregg. who disappeared years
ago from the home of his ia
Their who was brother to DIR. Pat
rick Gregg, of this city, near Ell
mira. N. Y. For some time search was
made for the missing boy, but he was
finally given up as drowned. as he was
last seen on the shores of a lake not far
from his home.
Since the discovery of Hiram's where's
abOuts, the circumstances of which have
been detailed in the ARGUS, correspond
ence has been going on between him and
his relatives here to clearly establish the
relationship existing between them. if
possible, Up to this time the identity of
the stranger had not been so perfectly
settled as to be unques tioned-the FAM
lily resemblance having been nearly
blotted Out--though some claim now that
they haze seen him, that there is strong
resemblance between Hiram and the
other sons 1t was to settle the vexed
question that Hiram picked up and came
to Rock Island Tuesday night and
stopped with Robert Gregg, Jr. The
mother visited him in Rock Island We'd
nesdsy. and that evening they went to-
gether to the Gregg homestead on Rock
river. Mrs. Gregg is not sure that the
visitor is her son. yet there seems no
doubt of it, though the visitor doesn't
insist on being recognized until his iden-
tity is established

tauve visited Mr.. Gregg, or Gage, as he
has been known. He remembers noth-
ing of the kidnapping, and all his infor>
nation comes from others. The gypsy

because the little fellow reproYed her ore

for cursing two men she had met in the
road. She there and then called him by

J. Lockery, fed with him to Hudson,
Wis, then to Catfish Bay, that state.
where they lived several years; thence TO
Richmond, the same state, where they re-
manned ON farm till about fifteen wears
ago. The lad led a tiresome and IN
happy life, and was led to believe that
Debby was his mother, and Lockery his
step-father. 1t was fifteen years ago that
Hirsm-who believed his name was Gage
-msrried and moved to Richardson, Oak
county, Wis, where he now has family.
He recalls that Debby Blood frequently
had fits of passion, and more than once
tried to poison him. as we'll as Lockery.
About the time of his marriage, she dis
appeared, vowing she would never be
heard from again; but it has since been
ascertained that she was sentenced to
prison for life for the murder of heI
daughter. Hiram for long time sur.
missed from Lockery's actions that he was
not Debby's son, and when at last he got
upon the trail of the facts, Lockery told
him plainly that Debby was not his
mother.

FOWLS AND EGGS FOR MARKET,
Advice That May Prove Useful to he
gfnners.

Advice That May Prove Useful to Be-
ginners.
In raising t,wls for market fies is the
first consideration. Select therefore a
breed which will make the greatest
growth in the shortest time and be of
good quality for the table. Select ac-
cording to the requirement of your own
special market and your fancy-Lang-
shans, Brahmas. Plymouth Rocks, Wy
andottes, Javas or Dorkings These va
rieties, with their crosses, are hardy and,
if intelligently fed, attain large size at
an early age. The Wyandotte just now
is popular fowl, the silvers, gold ems and
blacks all having enthusiastic az mirers;
the white Wyandottes are also receiving
high praise from their advocates. 1t is
claimed that they are not only orna-
mental in the yards and toothsome of
flesh, but good layers as well. The dark
Brahmas are classed by many breeders
as the best of the Brahma varieties.
With careful management there is
none of our small industries that is more
profitable than raising eggs for our city
markets. When eggs alone are desired
the fowls selected should b Leghorns,
white faced black Spanish, Minorcas or
other laying breeds. Avoid the common
mistake of giving too much stim ulating
food. Bear in mind the elements that
enter into the composition of an egg and
feed accordingly. Oats, wheat and bar
ley are all good for eggs, with just
enough corn to supply the proper degree
of heat. a sudden change from one kind
of grain to another will often stop hens
from laying for short time, as viii sud
den change of any feed. Whole corn,
being hard to digest, should be given
very sparingly to laying pullets. Sup
plement the food of laying hens with an
ped meat and charcoal
