DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN.
mrs. >. b. Cobb Passes Away at an
Early HOur This Morning-aer
MANY neads ne KsunuesS

Mrs. =. b. Cobb Passes Away at An
Early Hour This Mornfnx-Her
many Deeds Of Kindness.
This morning at 4:4O o'clock at her
home, 215 Fifteenth street, where she had
resided over so years. occurred the death
OF Mrs Sarah B. Cobb. aged. n years.
The immediate cause of her death was
stomach trouble from which she had been
sufferer for some time past. it being
particularly noticeable that she was fail
ing the past three months. Last Sunday
she was taken perceptiblY worse, since
which time she had continued to fail until
this morning when death came to her re-
lief. Mrs. Cobb was born at Barre, Mass,
April %, 1914 and was the Youngest
but two of six children, the others, all of
whom are living being as follows: viii
liam T. Raggles. of Ridgeway, Wis Gen.
eral Daniel Ruggies, of Fredericksburg, Va.
Mrs. Cordelis Page, of Williamsburg,
Mass Miss Lucy 5. Rlggles. of Ben
nington, Vt; and Zanas P Ruggles, late
of Ottawa, Kas.. and now of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. The latter arrived here
yesterday afternoon, and was present at
the bedside at the death of his sister.
William P Ruggles, of Ridgeway. Wis,

this evening
The deceased was united in marriage
with Benjamin J. Cobb at Hardwick
Mass, in March. 1871, and the couple
Immediately came west reaching Rock
Island on April 70. 1871. and shortly
after went to reside in the house on Fiji
teenth street in which she died.
Mrs. Cobb was in the best sense of
the word noble woman. Strong in her
| convictions. she was possessed of a heart
eyer ready TO respond with the deepest
sympathy for the ati1 cted, and her purse
| opened with her heart to those in need
When the. news came of the disastrous
Johustown food she was one of the first
| to respond literally. and 1t was her aim
through her whole life 10 be of assistance
to the needy. She possessed al aversion
to publicity aud and many deed Of gen
crosby to the distressed was never known
beyond those who received the benefit.
Likewise she TOOK public spirited view
of public affairs and an interest id all that
pertained to Rock Isllud's upbuilding
! 4 late evidence OF this was her donation
Of hrsutifui vase fer the ornamertstion
of Court house square. which was placed

The funeral will occur from her late
home a. O'Clock on Friday afternoon.

The arsenal clock is undergoing re-

The weeds are being cut along the em>

The shanties and most of the timbers,

removed
The walks between the causeway and
main briige on Armstrong avenue are
undergoing Improvements as well as other
things on the island. The places where
gravel heretofore existed. and also where
bad places have appeared in the walks

will be no need of ones walking in the

We have heard no more of that sprink-

John McGovern, an itinerant vender of

The interests of the canal are para
mount to individual interests. Rock ISL
and Is for the canal, ss has always been
its position. The route, as has often
been said even BY those who are now
seeking to overthrow the entire measure,
is of MINOR consequence.
1t is passing strange indeed that citi-
zen who was so conspicuous in con-
demning the policy Of Moline in fighting
the lower route for the Hennepin canal
and terming it a narrow dog-in-the.
manger spirit, should seek to have Rock
Island appear in q similar light toward
the established route. But can that citl-
zen lead Rock Island around by the eer
to suit his inconsistencies? Guess not.
Ex>Mail Carrier Farmer states that Boss
Wells assertion that he was disc bedient
or insubordinste is untrue. He states
that when he asked for reason for bis
dismissal Mr.. Wells told him he was not
giving satisfaction. Mr.. Farmer asked
II there had been any complaints and
Wells said no. that be was not sui,inp
him. Farmer defies Wells to cite the in
stance where he has been disobedient, but
Wells can't do IL. The boss has a way of
his own of getting rid of faithful servants
IN the employ of the government, whether
they suit the public or not, if they don't
happen TO satisfy his peculiar whims.
The Union is awfully af raid the Hem
nepin canal may benefit Davenport if
constructed by the southern route.
What's the difference if it does. Does
Rock Island expect to alone be benefited
by the canals THE ARGUS hopes not
only Davenport, but Moline, Muscatine,
Geneseo, Milan, yes, and the entire north
west will be benefited by the canal. even
if one citizen of Rock Island should fail
IN his scheme to''do the government" for
a small matter of $4,000 or $50. 600.
That idea of the Unions that Rock Island
should fight its sister cities and exist with
a stone wall about it,should have persisted
with the success of the bridge railway
and the Rock Is and viaduct.

The chosen battle ground is in full view
of the city Of Valparaiso, and thousands
of anxious eyes are watching from every
point of vantage the battle which is to
decide the fate Of the country.
The battle has been raging practically
for three days. The first engagement was
at the mouth Of the Aconcague on Friday
and resulted In a reverse to the govern

desperate struggle which is being tough

An Uncle of the Murderer Says He Is

HANOVER, N. H., Aug. ga large
number Of acquaintance Of George w.
Abbott, alias Frank @ Almy, visited
Hanover during the day to see the noted
prisoner.
Since Almy's identity has been estab-
lished there are some, Of course, who
claim that Almy Is not Abbott. They say
it is preposterous to suppose that man
with reward hanging over his head
would remain In the vicinity 80 long as
Almy has, but ON the other hand it Is
pointed out to these unbelfevers that
Almy pursued the same tactics after his
crime that Abbott did. While officers
were hunting all over the country for him
he was in hiding within short distance
Of where his crime was committed.
Further proof Of his identity was fur
nished by E. E. Wilmont, Of Olcott, Vt,
brother Of Abbott's own mother. He
visited the prisoner, and when questioned
said: II have not seen George Abbott

THE COMMON FLY,
It's MetamOrphosis and an Explanation of
Its Disappearance.

Its MetamOrphosis and an Explanation of
Its Disappearance.
How many people are there whom
the harmless but annoying little house
fly does not only worry but sometimes
drive to distraction; and yet how few
there are whose chronological knowl-
edge is Of sufficient breadth to allow of
their tracing it from it's first existence
to fulEgrown fly.
Does not the question often arise as
to its mysterious and sudden appear
ance? Summer after summer they pre-
sent themselves for personal annoy
ance, in great abundance, and strangely
enough appear always in fully-devel-
oped proportions; yet with the same
yearly regularity they as mysteriously
disappear. leaving no trace of their
existence behind.
Let us follow one Of these little dip
ferrous insects through its metamor-
phosis-
During the month of August the fly
lays its eggs in clusters or punches in
decaying animal or vegetable matter of
almost any kind, such as msTgs-e or
other filth. The eggs remain r tched
usually for period of six 10 y. af-
ter which their Matching S y send
upon the degree of heat to " obey
are subjected.
A day or two of moderate heat will
bring the eggs to life in larvs form-a
magRot without head, tail or legs
These crawl to some dry place to pu-
pate. In less than two weeks, with
neither food nor sustenance, the pupar-
ium will grow from It's tiny shape to
the size of a small pea, when the per
feet fly energies.
Their lives are of short duration, for
they only thrive through warm seasons
of the year, when they are more plen-
tiful, and a. the colder weather returns
they die.
Fragile in their composition, which
contains nearly 80 per cent Of moisture,
they greatly diminish h size when dead
and dry, and their matter In conse.
quence most brittle, easily crumbles,
turns to dust, and blows away. -Phila.
