The Monmouth Atlas seems 10 furnish
most of the congressional Information
which the Union of this city receives.
True, the Union did. some time since,
come out and frankly announce hat Rock
Island county would present no candidate
to the next republican congress ional con-
vention. 1t has again rtl4psed into
dignihed silence, however, on the subject
other than printing occasional squibs from
the Monmouth paper, which, by the
way are far from rejecting anything
like the exact situation. The Atlas man
has discovered that for some inexplica-
be reason, the usual grist of ambitious
republican statesmen ia this district have
not announced themselves as being will
ing to serve the party if called upon to
do so. 1t says:
The congressional situation in this dis
trict is peculiar. The Hon. c. II. Deere
says that he will not sccepts nomination.
Hon. c V. Chandler declares that he is
not in the race. Capt. Turnbull, Sens.
tor Berry, Judge Council and the several
other gentlemen who have been men.
toned in connection with congressional
honors are not button-holiDg the dear
voters. Are all these voters afraid TO
run against Ben T. Gable? Not by any
means. They are not the sort Of men
that may be clsssed among towards. But
they are diametrically opposed to the
democratic policy that man must stoop
down and kiss the dust in order 10 secure
q nomination.
All, indeed Since when did these
would-be republican statesmen develop
such an astonishing amount Of modeslyP
Does the Atlas for moment expect that
it can make the voters of this district be-
lieve that any of the above named gen.
temen would be at all delicate about an>
nouncing themselves as probable candi-
dates. at least, for the republican cons
gressional nomination next year, if they
thought there was the least glimmer of
hope of being eiecel? If it does, it is
badly mistaken. Some of the number, we
are positive, would have been Skin
ruishIng among the voters long ere this
had they not been afraid of experiencing
the same fate as certain Rock Island
gentleman did the last election. From
their exhibition of "modcsty' THE ARGUS
judges that the prominent republicans of
the district would just about as soon
knowingly take hold of red hot poker
as try to defeat Hon. Ben 7. Cable for
reelection in 90.

said physician last evening, "and it is
surprising how broad the scope of the
disease is in the number of people affec.>

people suffering, but many little children
are down with this catarrhal trouble.
Then there are those who had the disease
year and two years ago and are under-
going recurrence of it no less severe IN
its intensity than the original attack.
Il was told by Davenport physician
today that the same is true in that city as
to the prevalence of this disease which
hiss been severe with so many of our
people. Among children contagious
diseases are not so prevalent as is usually
the csse at this season OF the year. There
are very few cases of such diseases as
diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, etc. ;,
although as matter of course there may
be some But the grip is with us, as bad
in some instances as tver, and if may

says She Loves Another.


Mrs. Augusta Be ckstrond, of Forty fifth
street, swore out warrant last evening
charging her husband, Nicholas Beck
strond with assault and battery, and he
was given his hearing before Magistrate
Wivill this afternoon. Mrs. Beckstonds
story was that her husband came home
from work last night snd came out
to the wood shed where she was
and choked her and then ran her
into neighboI's house, the latter part of
her story being corroborated by other
witnesses, and he was accordiD ely fined
So and costs by the ma gistrate. 1t is the
same old case with two sides, the wife
claiming her husband is insanely Jealous,
and that he has no cause for it, and the
latter claims that she is not all she should
be, so that it is q continual round
of trouble The man is apparently
driven at times to almost desperation by
either his wife's acts or his Imagination
that all is not right, and then again al
times seems sorry for his acts and is per
fectly satisfied with his wife. As usual the
neighbors do their best to help the thing
along
