county, as well as by many of later years.
Mr.. johnson was born in Pennington, N F.

cattle business at Wapello, Louisa county,
and later he was in the hotel business at

THE PArAARcHs ARE THROUGH.

Last Days Exercises and Award Of Prises
to the Drill Competitors.
CHICAGO, Aug 1.-THE triennial parade
and cantonment of the Patriarchs Mill
tant is over. and, although the number
attending was far below the estimate
made, it cannot be said to have been q
failure. For the Odd Fellow. in psrticu-
lar. the experience was of vital interest in
regard to the military drill and the Re
bekah degree staff work Both branches
proved success, so far as the order 1.
concerned. OF the financial outcome OF
the affair nothing definite will probably
be known for a week. Owing to bad ar
rangements with regard to railroad trans
portation, only eleven of the twenty-ons
cantons that applied for participation In
the contests appeared.

At LeClaire there is only eighteen
inches more water now than there was at
the lowest stage of last year. Moreover,
the channel between that place and here
is limited now to vessels of not more than
three and 8 half feet draught. The
shoalest water is at Winnebsgo, island
about eight niles from here. The channel
all the way along is partly filled with sand
that has been drifting in from above, and
there is less water than there should be
on that account As the water fails,
however. it wears the filling away more
rapidly, and thus, in some measure, the
river clears its channel itself, but it does
not do the work quite as fast as the water
now fails. The days of absolute low
water are near at hand.

THE COUNTY'S CHARGES.
The Henry County Press War on
publication of Paupers.

Public Charity should be sympathet-
lie and Nor Merciless with Its De-
pendent Poor.
The Henry county papers have all taken
up the strife at first inauguratcd by the
deneseo Republic as heretofore noted and
commended by the ARGUS. against the
practice of publishing by order of the
county hoard of the names of the county's
poor and unfortunate. Here are some of
the opinions of the Henry county press
which may be applied with equal force to
the Rock Island county supervisors who
failed to CON prebend that public charity
should not b. bereft of human sympathy:
Several of the county papers are again
criticising the board of supervisors for
publishing the names of those who are
given county aid, but none OF them have
yet roasted that honorable body severely
enough. 1t Is simply matter of cowar..
dice with them. Some members are care-
less and profgate 10 their dealings with
those asking for aid. and the other mem
oers. instead of sitting down on the reck-
less ones. vote to sacrifice the feelings of
all the needy poor of the county rather
IMAM rebuke one or two of their own nun
Der. They ought to he ashamed of them>
selves. "-Kewanee Courier.
Now who il IL that the McRell resolu,
ton publicly brands as psupers. because
they have asked and received the pitiful
aid which the law says may be bestowed
upon the worthy poor? II we have
counted correctly, total of 1873 town AZ
count bills were allowed at the july
meeting. OF this number IS were al.
lowed for aid furnished women; poor
women, all of them: soldiers widows,
some of them. The act that is
reprehensible in an individual is repre-
hensible in "A public officer. The indi-
vidual who would bestow aims and af-
terward publish the recipient to the
world as pauper, would be held in vir-
tuous contempt. = Geneseo Republic.
The Nescs Is dead against the humiliat-
ing practice. We hope the board will
blot out the order Geneeeo Neacs.
Several other papers in that county
have condemned the practice. prominent
among which are the Orion Times,
Woodruff DispatcA and Galva Mews.

La GrIppe "A FeM Pointer

Persons who have a cold are much
more likely to take the influenza or SO
called, la grippe.
IL is much more severe when accom-
panied by a cold.
The most critical time is when re-
covering from the disease. as slight ex-
posure will often cause a relapse and
then is almost certain to end ia lung
fever or pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry aud
warm. the body well clothed and care
used to avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular and
persons physically weak should take
quinine to keep up the vitality.
With these precautions aud a free
