The Fire at Augusrana.

President OLSON, of Augustana college,
has note In yesterday mornings Union
in reference to THE ARGUS criticism of
the methods of the present chief of the
Rock Island fire department in handling
the fire at the college building Thursday
afternoon, in which Mr.. OLSON says:
The authorities at Aueustana college
have no criticism to make on the conduct
OF the fremen at the fire here on Thurs
day afternoon, but on the contrary we
all feel sincerely grateful to them for
their prompt response and for the quick
and energetic manner in which they put
out the fire and saved the college build
ing" The statement thus made contains
no contradiction Of THE ARGUS observa-
tions concerning the work of the DEPART
ment snd certainly 70 one has more lust
reason to feel proud of the prompt and
efficient work paid department is capa-
BILE Of rendering than THE ARGUS,
which struggled so long in be-,
half OF such system. The
ARGUS merely said that the chief, even
with the advantages the city had given
h m in paid servi>e, did not handle tie
fire as he should. and that view is still
held. The ARGUS knew what a paid de-
partment meant from the moment it first
advocated it, and the present chief did not
in this instance at least, meet the expec-
'ations of chief who knows his business.

YOUR HEALTH.

The citadel OF life must be guarded
at two points. In the first place there
is danger OF taking cold, we take cold
through the skin and this affects the
kidneys and the lungs. So intimately
are these organs connected, that q
cold affects both. In order to relieve
the system, both should be treated.
or rather, the whole system should be
regulated. This is done by Reid's
German Cough & Kidney Cure. tt
acts as a stimulant>and restores the
organs to action. The other weak
spot is the digestion. When the food
does not digest, it accumulates and
causes fever, sickness and death. The
Laxative Gum Drops will remove all
waste material from the system and
do it without PAIN or gripping Ask
your druggist for these remedies and
see that he gives them to you.

FOUND A STRANGE ANIMAL

Hunters In the Wallapal Mountains
Capture an Unknown Quadru-
ped.
While returning to Mohave, Arizona,
recently, from a hunting trip in the
Wallapai mountains, Arizona terri
tory, DR.. Hammond and Dave Parks
ran across one OF the strangest ami
mails ever seen in this section of the
country, if not in the world. Mr..
Parks after shootingit FIVE times with
q 45-caIiber Winchester, finally sue
ceeded in killing it. The body, as de-
scribed by the Miner, is ten inches in
circumference and eighteen inches in
length. The tail, ii such it may be
termed, is four inches. It's front feet
are similar to those of q dog, only
the toes being missing, while its hind
legs, somewhat longer than its front,
terminate in cloven hoQfs. Its head
is OF a bright red color, somewhat of
the hue of the "red-eye" which the
hunters had taken along as proven
tive for snake bite. The hair on the
animals body is OF a light baby blue,
which gives it a neat, tidy appear
ance. The upper jaw OF the quadru
ped is adorned with two immense
tusks, curving downward, giving it
a ferocious expression. The tongue is
forked and is used for catching ants.
The snout terminates in long trunk
similar to the arm of an octopus OF
prehensile tendency. 1t was discov-
cred by Mr.. Parks, clinging to the sur
face OF pine tree about fifty feet
from the ground. 1t was placed in
the icehouse pending the arrival OF
Professor RaeIIe, OF Needles, who will
stuff and mount it, after which it will
be placed on exhibition in the Miner
cabinet. Strange as it may seem, the
stomach contained q live toad, two
hOrn-toads, several thousand ants
and Il garter-snake. Taxidermists
and naturalists are at loss regard
ing the name OF this wonderful Great
ure, no mention having been made Of
any such species in natural history.

of matches, a dark lantern, q centre

ATTACKED BY A HEN HAWK.

For Twenty Minutes Mrs. Hlnckley
Fought TillRescued By her Daugh-
ter.
Mrs. James Hinckley, of Walnut Hol-
low, two miles east of Hartford, Conn.,,
had an encounte" tn a hen hawk
recently that nea aused her death.
Mrs. Hinckley isl dow, and manages
q farm, with the assistance other only
child, O. 15-year-old girl. While she
was throwing corn to her fowls
recently an immense hawk swooped
down and caught a hen in it's talons.
Without experimenting the danger
to herself, Mrs. Hinckley picked up a
stone and threw it at the hawk.
The missile struck the bird fairly
and seemed to madden it, for it flew
at the woman. Mrs. Hinckley was
unable to get hold of anything with
which to defend herself. With the
idea of attracting someone to her as
sistance she screamed to the top other
voice, but her daughter had gone on an
errand more than q mile distant, con-
sequently her cries were unheard.
The hawks anger was apparently
increased by the woman's cries. 1t
aimed to get at the woman's face,
which she protected with her hands
and arms. From her arms and
shoulders her dress was torn in shreds
and the flesh was lacerated so badly
that her clothing was saturated with
blood. For twenty minutes the bird
fought the woman all over the yard
unit she fell in a fainting condition
She would probably have been killed
by the bird had not her daughter ar,
rived just as she fell. The girl is Wig
orous and fearless. Taking in the
situation promptly, she secured a
piece of heavy log chain that hung or
a fence. The hawk turned it's atten
tion to the girl, but it soon got blow
across the back with the chain that
rendered one of it's wings useless, AND
it then became an easy victim for the
girl. The hawk was one OF the largest
ever killed hereaboutg. 1t measured
feet 2 inches across it's wings from
tip to tip, and weighed Thirteen
pounds Post.

How Swiss Children Go to Sleep,

The Swiss people are very artistic
in their tastes, and even the poorest
Swiss is neat and tasteful in his home
life. Many of the ways of the Swiss
are as pretty as their fanciful ideas
of building houses. A Swiss mother
believes that her child will have bad
dreams unless it is crooned to sleep.
And so, bending low over the drowsy
little ones couch, she sings soothing
songs of green pastures and still wat
ers until the little child has breathed
itself peacefully into the land of Nod.
