A Fortune Anyway.

The ARGUS recently referred to l..
5. Knott. of South Rock Island, as
having fallen heir to SIS, 200, 600.
This should have referred ~ the heirs
OF the late Melvin Mckay, a former
Rock Island blacksmith, who was a
son-in-law of Mr.. Knott. As to the
latter. however, it may be said that
he is sole heir to 240, 900 franks.
which his great grandfather, one OF
Lafayette's officers in Revolutionary
times, deposited for him in the bank
in Paris. France, in 1903. and to
which Mr.. Knott is through lineage
and provision now establishing his
claim.

CHANGE THE MEETING PLACE.

The suggestion that has been made
to hold the Congressional Convention in
the Academy of Music tomorrow in
stead of in the Old Opera House. is an
excellent one and should be adopted by
all means. There are many objections
to the Opera House as the place for
this meeting, the principal one being it's
smallness.
In addition to the delegates a large
number of spectators will be present,
and while in the Opera House they
would be intentionally crowded, at
the Academy they will have ample
room. Besides the Academy will be a
much cooler place Of meeting, and that
is very important item this hot
weather. BY all means change the
meeting place and give the delegates
the cool Academy instead of the hot and
