During the convention of Illinoi,
editors at Chicago last Saturday the
Chicago Times Herald interviewed {
number Of those present on the op
portunities offered in the ield oil
journalism for wealth accumulation
Optimistic as we'll as pessimi.tit
views were expressed. Among those
OF the latter inclination was Fred K
Bastian. Of the Fulton journal, In
whose goings and comings there are
many in Rock Island who feel 0 De.
culiar interest. "The business does
not pay as 1t ought" he said. "The
same amount Of energy put into
some other business. the same
amount Of brains, the same grim de.
termination and bravery, would nm.
doubleday pay bigger dividends. Blu,
country journalism has its rewards
not measured in gold. A mans
brain is broadsned, he reads, he %.
socistes with the best people of bis
town. and he sees moro OF the world
than any fellow in his burgh. He
gets q taste of enterprise"
Ibid you ever make great SCOOP
on the Fulton Journal?"
"Well. / got the postofiice; that's
the only thing. but IL pays me for my
trouble. No, country editors don'i
get chance to scoop things like
that very often"

DUTY OF PARENTS,
Wise Guidance Needed For the Youth Wit
10 Leaving Childhood Behind.

There Is something pathetic In the
struggle of the child to cast aside its
child nature and put on the nature Of
manhood and womanhood, ;" writes Flor.
ence Hull Winterburn in The Woman's
Home Companion. HE is beset inter.
nally by misgivings even while he Is
urged on by ambition. He wants he
scarce knows what. but something new
and never before possessed Perhaps, in
q nutshell, the great desire of his soul
is to be left somewhat to himself, vet
with sympathy within call, and to be
trusted. It is q great evidence Of tact
now for the mother or father to say,
with kind smile: DO what you think
best about this matter, my son. You
are old enough to judge what is right.
Happy responsibility! Delightful conf.
dencel Influence is never stronger than
when it withdraws slightly into the
background, leaving its object apparent
ly free. a good deal is said NOWADAYS
about the extraordinary freedom our
children have. Seemingly it is SO, but
looking here and there an observer
notes little real change among the aver.
age people.
"a young friend of mine whose
happy married life has not yet driven
from her memory cramped and i'm
bittcred youth confided to me that the
one idea that haunted her from to lS
was that of running away from home.
If she had been less conscientious, lit.
tie more reckless, what gulf of ruin
her innocent feet might have plunged
into to escape the intolerable nagging
and interference she was subject to in
her fathers house!
I'VE little know what effect our
thoughtless and meaningless words of
comment and Gliding for every small
matter that goes wrong produce upon
the half grown girl and boy. They are
apt to be reserved and to become sullen
under restraints they dislike, and when
this sullen attitude once sets in we may
say farewell to all confidential inter
course between parent and child. To
avert such an evil we will do we'll to
apply all our powers Of tact and kind
ness. Let US avoid arousing the spirit
OF perversencsS that stirs in every young
creature at this period of life, and, by
enlarging his opportunities for action
as his ambition extends soothe any bud
ding revolutionary ideas and inspire in
him the trust and confidence In parental
benevolence that will DO his safeguard
when he needs advice and assistance,
for youth never stands in deeper need
of wise guidance than ut this time when
there is desire to dispense with it.
But the guidance must be so wise, so
tactful. so gentle, that even the most
independent young soul will feel that
love. and not force, is the motive power
that draws him toward what is best,
and that he is restrained by nothing ex-
cept his own honor and tzained sense
Of right. !"

HE MAY PLEAD GUILTY.

ss1 "eAH IIGAO 0OiG1 :
George b. Henry VIII Face tho Nebraska
Musio Philosophica,ly.
Andrew Irle, assistant superinten-
dent Of Pinkerton's National Detective
agency. the man responsible for the
arrest Of George B. Henry, of Hamp-
ton. was in the city few hours yes
terday. He was on his way from
York, Neb., to Chicago. He was seen
at the Harper house by an ARGUS rep
resentative.
II left Mr.. Henry prisoner at
the York JAIL" said Mr.. Irle.
The circuit court does not con-
vene there until New. s. The
grand jury system is not in vogue
there, and Henry, no doubt. will be
given an immediate hearing. He
takes his fate philosophically and I'M
less he changes his position since the
last interview l had with him, it is
my opinion he will plead guilty and
place himself at the mercy Of the
court.
Henry is cool man. Criminals,
as rule, will become confused when
confronted WITH indisputable evil
dence Of their guilt. Not so with him.
After we arrived at York, l had q
long conference with Henry. piled
him with questions concerning his
trips. etc. His explanations were
weak. Finally l opened up my sat-
chel and laid out before him dupli-
Gates Of the drafts which he had
forged on several banks in the past
few years. l asked him if he was
the man who made them up and
passed them. He smiled. i don't
see that there is any need of me ans
wering.' he said. The story is Their Q
In black and white. You have got
me right sure enough Henry
told me he did all his work at q
room in the Atlantic hotel. Chicago.
He made up the forms of his forged
paper there, but where he got his
printing done have SO far been I'M
able to find.
LET me tell you how We caught
Henry. Last August he made q
trip to Aberdeen, s. D., ostersibly to
buy some farm land. He secured q
letter Of introduction from the land
agent Of the Milwaukee road at Chi.
cago to the company's land repre-
sentative at Aberdeen. He re-
NAMED at Aberdeen q few days,
looked over the country. said he was
favorably impressed with it, etc.
He suddenly left town. 1t was soon
found that a bogus draft had been
passed on an Aberdeen bank. The
Aberdeen land agent came to Chi
eago. We invited him to our office
and asked him to look through the
picture gallery. Out of the hun.
dreds Of photographs he pointed out
that of Henry. saying that he was
the man who worked the Aberdeen
bank. Then we had him."
Mr.. Irle said the first he heard Of
Henry's operations was at Atlantic,
Iowa. where he forged a draft in the
name of P. A. Sullivan for $3.50,
Jan. rs, 1895. He used .
different name at each place.
The York bank is the only one of the
swindled institutions thus far heard
from which holds membership in the
American Bankers association. The
Pinkertou agency represents the as
ISOLATION, and therefore will only
prosecute Henry on the York case.
II the other banks prosecute him
separately it is likely that many
years will pass before Henry will
again be a free man.

Among the recently invented games to
hlch ntckels from the pockets of the men
who are looking for snaps Is one that
for simplicity cannot be beaten. On an or
binary piece OF cardboard "a inches long by
II wide at regular intervals are placed
good-sized. round ink marks. There are
three OF these. The banker has three round
pieces Of cardboard, which, II correctly
placed. will cover up the Ink spots. Under
the Ink spots appear .he following words.

WRIT OF MANDATE ORDERED.
County Treasurer Declined t. Re-
ceive Taxes Unless street Assess
ment Was Paid-Judge Benson
says He Must Accept Payment.

/ In the suit brought by Fred Fl. Peterson
against Charles f. Whittlesey, as county
treasurer and ex-officio tax collector OF
the city of Seattle. Judge Benson yester-
day rendered judgment In favor of the
plaintiff.
1t seems Peterson offered to pay his tax
es Tor the year 1886 on lots and S. block
"a. Terry's Second addition, amounting to
slh2. When this sum was rendered for
general city. county and state taxes the
treasurer refused to receive the same be-
cause the grade assessment upon these lots,
levied for improving Yesler way under a
reassessment In 1885, amounting to over
800. was not included. In brief. the treas
urer claimed that unless the street as
sesssment was fully paid, together with the
other taxes at the same time, he would not
receive the money. He relied upon the law
or 1885. pp. 169-l1o. which reads as follows:
The county treasurer. shall enter prop
erty assessed Tor street improvements in
separate column, in the manner direct
cd by the city charter. and the same shall
be part OF the tax due On such prop
erty and with interest shall be collected
as other taxes. separate account being
kept thereof. and If not paid within the
time fixed for the payment Of other taxes,
shall be collected as other taxes are COL
lected." etc.
Mr.. Upton. on behalf OF the treasurer,
commended that as the assessment became
Ing less than the whole could be accepted.
Mr.. Peterson pointed out to the court the
language Of the law where 1t says III not
paid tthe street assessment within the
time fixed for the payment of other taxes,
shall be collected as other taxes are col
lected,' etc. Thus the legislature recog-
nized the right to pay these taxes sepa-
rately, and also that separate account had
to be kept of street assessment, and that
ha Cf lau n t,a tf<.
payment OF taxes the least burdensome
consistent with the rights OF the public.
Judge Benson held without hesitation
that the treasurer should have received
the money offered, and so directed a writ
OF mandate requiring the treasurer to ac-
cept the money rendered.
AS all cities OF the first class are directly
involved by this decision, 1t was stated by
Mr.. Upton that the city would prosecute
an appeal Mr.. whittlesey asserts that he
was acting under the advice OF city off,
GERS and desired this question determined.

STRANGE DIVORCE CASE
Wife Sues Husband who II in Insane
Asylum.

low that the plaintiff would serve the pa
pers upon herself in this case. Judge ia

Fred Fl. Peterson appeared for the plain
tiff and insisted that the service was good
and the court so held. although the court
said this was the first case % the kind he
ever heard OF. except the suit Of John T.
