SMALL POx.
a Case In the Rock Island Police statior-
Arsamp Brints IL.


Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
a man came wandering into the po-
lice station. and said DIR. Eyster had
sent him there To stay. His face was
broken out. and Officer Crompton
asked him what was the matter, and
IL he had small pox? Hi don't
know he said. III hi ave, hi don't
know where hi got hit
well, where did YOU come FROM"
.Chicaco." he said. land the doc
tor told me 10 come ere"
He was put in cell and Crompton
attended To- the poor fellows needs.
His name. il il learned. is Woods.
and that he is one of that numerous
band known as buns" OF course,
no one knows where he has been
about town. but Health Commission
er Eyster has ordered Crompton to
stay at the police station; and will
not allow him to 70 home, he having
acted rs nurse to the unfortunate.
This is the first case Of small pox
that has invaded Rock Island for a
number of years. and it is to be sim
cerely hoped that it viii not spread.
a Pest House.
The need of a pest house is now
made forcibly apparent. and the city
should secure the abattoir, or some
other building for that purpose-and
that without delay.
This afternoon arrangements were
made to tit up the old abattoir rs n
pest house. and the old patrol wagon
as black maria. The patient will
be removed TO the new quarters to-
night. Meanwhile disinfectants are
being generously used at the station
and the place is held in a state Of
quarantine.
Mayor Medill sought to arrange to
have the man temporarily taken care
OF at the Davenport pest house, but
the board OF health of that city met
this morning. and declined to admit
him. The case is really only vario-
loid.

McCONOCHlE'S MEMORY.
IL Pals Him NcIy Much on the Scale
House I.nilding.

1t will he remembered that one OF
the Unions brave-hcarted annonv-
nous correspondents signing him
self N. "" furnished that paper
with communication Saturday
morning. the purport OF which was
that IL McConochie had been MAYOR
the scale house building on Market
square would have been Of brick,
etc. In view Of the facts appearing
in Saturday nights AEGUs as to the
plans now being carried cut having
been prepared under the McConochie
administration and approved by him.
although he never had the public
spirit TO carry them into execution.
the Union OF sunday treats its read
ers To- an interview-with McCono-
chic. The eX mayor is quoted rs
saying that while the double ~ -
statement Is not strictly accurate.
that the plans had been drawn under
his direction, etc. but that there
were not funds enough TO build the
structure at the time. and he adds
further: AT the present time. with
the lessened cost of materials and
labor | would roughly estimate the
cost at 81 800; ! could do il for that
and put up building that would be
n credit TO the CITY instead of n sand
ed-over sham, rs ! understand this
is to be-"
Memo v Failing.
McConochie's memory il failing on
this point evidently. or else he is
willfully Incorporating the facts.
When Architect Stauduhar drew his
original plans two years ago for Nc
Conochie they called for n building
patterned after the design Of the
present one except that the base and
first story were of stone. The csti.
mated cost then was 5000. A,
Mayor McConoehic's suggestion Mr.
Stauduhar substituted frame fol
stone on the first story. and the plan:
now being carried out were approved
by him then. Bids were formally
advertised for. ard the lowest in.
volved an outlay of 81 $50. There
upon the whole matter was tabled
Mayor Mcdill unearthed the matter
put it through the council and i:
having the structure completed fol
1914, a saving OF 500 on the bes
figures McConochie had. and of $500
on the figures he gives the Union fol

And McConochie's attempted Sian

SEiCNiORACE BILL.

President Cleveland vetoed the silver
seigniorage bill, which proposed TO coiE
the toll from former silver coinage, now
in the treasury, into money. Both
branches of congress passed the bill, but
the president saw fit to refuse his sigma
ture. Whether so intended or not, this
action is directly and plainly in favor OF
the money holders of the east and against
the best interests of the south and west.
If President Cleveland had deliberately
set out and carefully planned to destroy
the democratic party he could have done
no more effectual work toward the result
than he has accomplished so far in this
administration. He seems determined
to burn all the bridges behind the party
so that no other candidate for the presi-
dency can be elected.

TIE RING.

Colonel w. Y. Atkinson never
makes speech without attacking
creature of bis imagination which ne
has named ''the Atlanta ring" The
Colonel never tells US who compose
this RUG or how it is managed. lie
holds it up as holy terror end I'M
plores all the people outside of Allan
ia to help him smash it.
Colonel Atkinson should be more
explicit. He should cease to saw the
air and shake his mighty name at
nothing. lie is comparatively young
yet and can spare some physical ener'
~, but we regret to see him throwing
1t away when there are so many wOr>
thy objects en- which he could beStow
it.
Why does not Colonel Atkinson
come down to something practical
and attack a real ring, one OF whose
existence be knows and with who's
methods be is familiar?
Why does he not say something
about the superior court judges and
solicitors-general who are trying to
manipulate politics in this state and
appropriate all the offices? The tact
that this combination is supporting
him for governor should not deter
him from doing his duty, for he has
told us that he has no other object IN
running for Office except to do some
thing good tor his dearly beloved
state, to which, according to his own
estimate and declaration, he has al
ready been of incalculable service.
1t is a notorious fact that nearly
all OF the superior court judges and
solicitors-generaI in this state have
constituted themselves into an Akin
son campaign committee and are
working mig ht and main for then
candidate. There is an old theory
that judicial officers have more busl'
ness with the affairs of their courts
than they have with politics, but
some OF our present judges and solic'
itors seem to consider this an Area
dian view, and they yell and leg
for A kinson as if it were their sworn
duty to do so. These men are the
constituent element of the ring whose
Vaccinations The Journal exposed
more tha4 year ago when they had
made out slate for G dozen or more
in. portant state Offices.
The only ring we know OF in Geor
gia Is composed of judges and solici'
tors general, shrewd politicians and
bent on Cd controlling the offices
which they do Tot fill and "ixin.
things" in state conventions. Colo
mel Atkinson has the favor OF Thu
coterie, and the zeal with which they
are working for his election is worthy
of better cause, Atlanta Journal

OUR FARMER FRIENDS.

During the recent panic which cua 'ed
the financial waters of the whole world
to become troubled, wrecking banks,
sinking great corporations and drowning
thousands of good men beneath their
turbulent waves, happy indeed, says the
Madison Advertiser, was the man who
had a refuge and haven on farm, fai
removed from the pillows of commercial
disaster and destruction.
There he could rest, content with his
lot, and live amid peace AMI plenty, I'M
der his own vine and fig tree; for with
bursting barns and plenty of hog and
hominy of his own raising, what need a
farmer care for breaking banks and pan
les?
: We do not mean to contend that our
farmers have been wholly unacquainted
with hard times; not by any means. We
do say, however, that they have felt the
force of the storm as little as any class OF
people, and while many of heir barques
went down IN the gale, those who have
braved the simoons of the past few years
of financial distress are in better shape
than hundreds of their fellow men of
other occupations. They have been
taught economy by the hard hand of ne
cessity. They have learned in the gre t
school of ex perience that they must live
at home, by raising their own supplies
and buying fewer of the luxuries of life.
This lesson they are still needing, and
are going in with brave hearts and will
ling hands to battle for bread during
1894. They are just now as busy

THAT GAMBLING OUTFIT.

The Suit Against Chief Glass to Recover
1t Dismissed.
Some time ago Chief of Police J. M.
Glass was sued by Jack Anderson foI
the recovery of a gambling outfit, con-
Histing of roulette, ''crap" and faro
tables and their sppurtensnces. Suit
was instituted in Justice Seaman's
court. The amount involved was al
legged to be under $500.
The case was called yesterday after.
noon. Attorney Hotchkiss appeared as
counsel for the defendant, and Deputy
District Attorney Ryan handled the case
for the people.
There was much doubt as to the value
oil the furniture involved, and the case
was tried on no other ground. The de-
PENDANT was placed on the stand and he
testified as to the worth of the tables,
etc.. separately. When the amounts
were footed up they reached over $500,
thus throwing the case out of the
justice courts Jurisdiction. Judge Sea-
man then dismissed the case.
1t will probably be taken to the
superior court and fought out on the
line as to whether tools, furniture or
implements used in thus trsnsgressing
the law should be seized and confiscated.
Chief Glass will fight the case bit
terly.
