Highly Priced Relies.

Mrs. Charlotte Plunck, when investi-
eating the contents of an old chest, came
upon some relics which call back to MEM
DRY old times. The most dear to the
heart of the finder was the badge of her
father. presented to him by grateful
government after the Mexican war. The
badge is bronze and the upper and lower
metallic is connected by red, white and
blue ribbon. The ship of state, battery
of artillery and other army significsnces
are here plated or indented. The shield
the larger part, represents peace in the
shape of wheat, etc. The badge is not up
to this day OF workmanship. but speaks
for services rendered which is a monu-
ment OF itself.

Riverview Driving club.

The second meeting of the Riverview
Driving club was held at the park east of
Moline last evening. and was fairly at
tended. The races all half mile-con-
sisted of trotting, pacing, pole team con
tests and gentlemen's driving race. The
winners were as follows: In the trotting
race. Charles Velie's mare Jewel won in
1.34; in the pacing race. Mena, owned by
Martin, of Davenport, in :33; in the
pole team race. Frank Robinson's team
won. Win Velie won the gentlemen's
race. A band concert by Strasser's or

cluded as before with dancing.

bene1ciaries are paid, as there are 40 600
members of the order good for it,
and the attorney general would
see that they are assessed, and
the obligations of the order met. But
he did not believe the state of Iowa
guaranteed such protection TO the society.
He assailed the call for the special head
camp meeting as illegal. as it was not
backed as he claimed. by the requisite
number of camps of the order. He en-
tered into detail of the charged illegal
assessments. which showed either lack of
method in the present system of book
keeping in the head camp or else gross
and outrageous criminalities and unwar-
ranted use of funds. and the doctoring Of
the official records to cover up these de.
falcauons. He cited the use of N. w.
Love. of Milan, as dead and the insurance
paid in 1890. whereas it was paid in 1889.
The present thing to consider. he held,
was self preservation. There must be
wise measures and actions taken here to>
day under the shadow of the law, and it
must be taken with legal advice. He
favored a resolution asking the auditor of
Illinois to take charge of the books of the
order at Fulton and that he make an in
vestigation as to all assessments made
and collected this year.

set, while it can be worn with as much

that they give support to the back and

doubt find it fully as satisfactory as
waists for which you have paid $1.75.

Mrs. Harrison In Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 14.-The
presidential party reached here shortly
after II q. M, to-day. They we're met at
the station by the mayor of the city, the
collector of the port, the postmaster and
committee of distinguished citizens and
escorted to their hotel. The stars and
stripes and the state colors auttered to
the breeze all over the city. They were
taken to Fort Sumter aud were shown
around the harbor.
In the afternoon they entered carriages
and were driven around the city, and to-
night Mrs. Harrison and her friends had
reception, which was attended by the
elite Of the city. Late in the night the
visitors were serenaded by the Vanderbilt
Benevolent society, of which President
Harrison is an honorary member. 1t is
admitted that the visit of Mrs. Harrison
and her party has been q most delightful
social event. Democrats and ,,Republi.
cans We'd with each other in paying their
respects to the first lady of the land.
There arc very few white Republicans
here, but they we're ::all present, and for
once, there was no distinction in politics.
Of course, colored republicans kept in the
background. The party, at midnight,
returned to their car, and will leave here
for Florida ira the morning.

The annual pension appropriation bill
now before Congress amounts 10 sos, 49,
461, which amount represents only what
is claimed to be absolutely necessary to
meet obligations known to have been
incurred for the next fiscal year, and it
does not include any sums that will be
necessary for the present twelve months.
At each session of Congress there, are
de6ciencybills to provide for expendi-
lures over and above the regular appro-
priatioos. There is besides the above
sum pension deficiency bill! now before
Congress which amounts to $2l ,59S, 1884.
The money to provide for the payment
of pensions under any bill the present
Congress may pass will have to be met
by a deficiency bill next year. How
much this will be no one can tell, but no
one will deny that it will bring the re-.
quired sum above s100,0O0,00O. If the
recommendation of Secretary Noble, that
a dependent pension bill be passed, be
followed, this of itself would increase
pension expenditures by at least s35, ,0O0,.
600, and some place it at $4,000, 900.
The sum now expended for pensions
exceeds that paid by some of the Euro.
pesn governments to maintain their large
standing armies.

offer or suggestions to make, but we will
say this much: that the eyes of the peo.

cal parties, will watch the proceedings of
the meeting with unusual interest, and it
behooves.the farmers to act carefully and
prudently. While there are some ex-
treme, hot-headed men at the head of the
movement in the State who, perhaps,
theughtlessly would disrupt the Demo.
cratic party of the State to subserve their
own private interests or secure an Office,
we believe a majority of the Convention
will To composed of conservative, right.
thinking men, who will stand by their
party, regardless of the so called interests
of the farmers or any other class. Any
thing that may be done in the Convention
that will benefit the farmers of South
Carolina will benefit every other citizen,
be he merchant, mechanic or profes-
sional man. We are not uneasy as to
the result Of the Convention, and will wait
patiently to see what is done.

A Violent Storm Coming.

OTTAWA, March 14.-Prof. Z. Stone
Virgins, the Canadian weather prophet,
has predicted a very violent storm. He
says it will be felt all over the world, and
will reach Europe from the 18th to the
10Th inst. 1t will burst over the cont.
nent of America between the 21st and
22d inst.
Nothing short of miracle, lie says,
will prevent the destruction of shipping
that may be caught out of harbor. Vol.
canic eruptions and earthquakes will take
place in the South and on the Pacific
coast and also in Europe.
During the last two years there have
been unusual planetary actions over our
Northern Pacific Ocean, especially ia.
pan and China. This powerful attraction
contracted that part Of the planet, causing
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the
overflow of the Yellow River, which
swept over large area and drowned
thousands of people.
The storm will originate in the North
ern Pacific, and it will be the most dan>
gerous on that ocean on account of tidal
waves. twill be very heavy in America.
One part of it will move up the Mississip
pi Valley and come down the great lakes,
while q northeast current will move over
Quebec to meet and welcome it.
The gale will be heavy from the south.

Bra,ton's Waning Influence.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-E. NJ.
Brayton appears to be losing his grip on
South Carolina, and his party friends at
this end of the line are beginning to
question his ability to hold the whip any
longer. 1t is understood that Gen.
Clarkson, who h Supposed to be the po-
litical boss of the postal service, proposes
to call him to strict account for some of
his recent performances, especially with
regard to the Russell case. Brayton's
recent statement in the Ne0s qnd Courier,
in which be relates bis ups and downs
with j. Hendrix McLane's crowd and the
ills that have been inflicted upon him by
them, was the subject of considerable
comment here among South Carolina
Republicans. Some of the Regulars
say that most of the prominence obtained
By the Independents in the State is due
to the "sbilly shally, hide and seek, fast
and loose" methods of Brayton. 1t is
charged that he has endorsed regular
Republicans for certain Offices, and under
the soothing ointment of Independent
fattery he has endorsed members of the
latter faction for the same Offices. 1t is
of record that Brayton signed the petition
endorsing the Rev. Joshua Wilson for the
Florence postofice, and the files of the
department. also show, 30 it is said, that
he ga ie letter of similar character to
F. W. Clayton, the Independent candi.
date for the same Office.
It is also said that Brayton endorsed
regular Republican for supervisor of cen.
sus in the district in which W. W. Russell
lives, and at the same time be wrote q
letter recommending tie appointment of
Thomas Russell, the father of W. w.
Russell, az supervisor. Brayton is also
charged with having written q letter to
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson,
requesting him to Withdraw from the
Senate the nomination of W. ". Russell,
selected postmaster at Anderson. At the
same time it is said that he wrote letter
to Russell congratulating him upon his
appointment. Notwithstanding he had
been credited as supporter of the regular
candidate, Mrs. State Senator Cochran,
for the same place.
In this connection it is claimed that
State Senator Alexander, an independent
Dem0crat, uaue nls ursl pOlItlca! Btep ln-
to the parlor of the Administration
through the aid and guidance of Mr..
Brayton. One of the active Republican
workers under the present Administration
remarked to your correspondent while
discussing Mr.. Brayton, that at one time
he imagined that Brsyton was great
political leader in his State, and was in
clined to give such assistance as man
occupying the position he did was entitled
to. The more he saw OF Brayton the
more be was inclined to doubt his ability
to lead, and direct the party in South
Carolina. The recent charges of double.
dealing in the mattsr of appointments are
entitled to serious consideration, and Dir.
Brayton will probably have an opportu-
nifty to explain his conduc. in this regard.
