The County Seat.

That South Haven meeting last week
didn't move the county seat.
Our breezy neighbors by the lake are
certainly in dead earnest in the matter,
but the sober judgment of the majority
of the people of the county is certainly
opposed to any such action as moving
the county buildings TO the extreme cor
ner. We have but one report of the
South Haven meeting, which was sent
to US by a South Haven friend, and
reads as follows:
"In well attended meeting held at
the opera house, in regard to the remov-
al of the county seat, Charles Delamere,
with his usual amount of bombast, told
the people that he had spent the greater
part of his life in the upbuilding of
South Haven, both as to business in
terests and the refinement of her citi-
zens, and this, fellow citizens, is enough
to warrant us in getting the court
house. What gigantic logic! He spoke
of the editor of the Northerner as being
the Rip Van Wrinkle of Michigan; that
be had just awakened to the fact that
South Haven was, and is."
If an air motor would move the county
seat, our friend Delamere could doubt
less furnish the motive power. But it
won't. Paw Paw intends to retain the
county seat
However, we DO not believe it safe for
our people-to sit idly down while Sout h
-Ikaxefites are hustling. Some energetic,
organized action must be taken to insure
the keeping of the county seat where it
is, and where it should be in the future.
County seat! County seatl Yes, we
must have the county seat. At least
that was the resolve at the meeting held
at the opera house Monday evening last.
The large audience room was crowded
and, strange as it may seem, it was all
one party and one plank. We must
have the county seat, was the battle cry
and everyone was unanimously in favor
of the project and the resolution adopt
ed expressed this feeling. However, no
one seemed to think it would be walk
over, as reports from over the county
nearly all concede the removal providing
we would pay the bill, and it remains to
be seen how much that bill is to be.
The matter of a site for the building did
not enter into the controversy, as all are
to work in harmony to secure the remov-
al, and then no great trouble need occur
as to location. nice little sum will
need TO be raised and every one must do
their part.-South Haven News.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use Without
a Failure

Twenty-Five Years Constant Use without
Failure.
The first Indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as sure
sign of the approach of an attack
Following this hoarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet TO learn of single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-twenty-i years
constant use without q failure. For
sale by all druggists.

HIS DEATH SUDDEN,
w. r. Johnson Succumbs to At

Heart.
HAD BEEN ILL FOR A WEEK.

Final summons Comes This Morning ut
War veteran aud Former Chief In the
once of the State Insurance Depart
menI.
William F. johnson. bookkeeper
for the Rock Island Union Printing
company, died suddenly ut $40 this
morning of neuralgia of the heart, at
his home, S39 Seventeenth street.
Mr.. johnson had been ailing for a
week. but his condition had never been
conside ed serious. 1t was thought
yesterday he was bordering on an at
tack of typhoid fever. He passed a
very restless night, suffering much
pain. This morning his wife, who
had been at his bedside throughout
the night. left the room a few mo-
ments to prepare a drink of tea for
her husband, and when she returned
he was breathing his last.
Mr.. johnson had resided in this
vicinity off and on since lSi7. He
was reared on a farm in Mercer county,
coming to America from Ireland when
a child with his parents, MIR. and Mrs.
Isaac Johnson. He served his coun-
try in the civil war, sustaining a
wound in battle that resulted in the
loss of his right limb. He was SO
years of age. He was graduate of
Fulton college. He was married in
Rock Island in 1873 to Miss Mary l..
Davis, who survives with three chill
dren, two daughters, Misses Jennie
and Lila, and one son, Eddie.
His Busine,s Career.
For years Mr.. johnson was business
manager of the Daily Union, later NOV
ing to Kansas, but after a short resi-
dence there returned to Rock Island.
He was appointed chief in the Illinois
state insurance department, a posi-
ion he filled for IL years, during
which time he resided in SpringGe Id
When he had relinquished this office he
again went to Kansas, and engaged in
business there, abandoning the same
few years ago, and bringing his
family back to this city, where he had
since been devoting himself to land
and insurance business in addition to
his duties as bookkeeper for the Union
Printing company.
The funeral will be held from the
home at o'clock Sunday afternoon.

CONGRESSMAN TOWNE TALKS
Paints GIitterinE Word Pictures for
PopocrRtic Audience Mt CreIRh-
ton Hall, hut Fails to Score.

Ex-Congressman Charles A. Towne of Min
nesota addressed a popocratic audience at
Creighton hall Thursday night. He spoke
for an hour and half, making pretty word
pictures and soaring to heights of eloquence.
An honest analysis of his speech reveals
nothing but words
Here is a sample of his style:
Tho republicans are growing about this
whooped-up, fictitious, unreal unsteady and
temporary prosperity that is fitting over the
country
He admitted that prosperity has come,
and then attempted to show that it is not
permanent and that the only salvation of
commercial prosperity is the election of the
popocratic ticket throughout.
He jumped into the Philippine war ques-
tion and declared that the president has
dishonored himself.
He touched the trust problem in the same
style.
Mr.. Towne says he left the republican
party because he could not conscientiously
return to congress on the platform adopted
at St. Louis. He is now radical popocrat
and has been making speeches at several
different places since the campaign opened.
q. NJ Hitchcock presided at the meeting
and Congressman Sutherland made a few
brief remarks as a preface to Mr. Towne's
speech.

BACK DOWN ON BETTING BLUFF
Popocrats' Desire to Stake Money on
the Election Melts Rapidly Away
When Cash Is offered.

The bluffs thrown out by the gang run
ming the fusion campaign in this county
received sudden calldown yesterday.
George Brooks of Bazle Mills had been read
ing about democratic money going begging
in Omaha with an offer of 10 per cent COM
mission made in the World Herald to any
one who would find Reese money to place.
and decided to come down from the north
to accept the commission and the bets. He
called at the World Herald office and showed
roll of bills, but after a whole days hur-
rying and scurryng all the popocrats were
able to cover was $3.50, while George stood
smiling with large part of his roll still
in his hand.
Another case of popocratic crawfishing is
reported as growing out OF the loud talk OF
the notorious Walter Noise. Noise was Of
fering to put up all sorts of coin on the
man who gave him coonels commission
on his staff when governor. Buck Keith ran
down town and came back with 500, but
Noise had changed his mind when the bluff
was called and the bet was not effected.

SYMPATHY FOR RIOS RIVERA
Mass Meeting Will he Held Saturday
Night in Interest of Dismissed
Civil Governor.

HAVANA, Nov 2.-The offices Of La
Union Espanola were broken open last night
and some 1000 copies Of the paper burned.
The rioters were on the way to break up
the machinery when an alarm was given
and the police prevented further damage.
This paper was recently fined for publishing
an article insulting Cuban women.
A mass meeting will be held in Havana
on Saturday next to express sympathy with
General Rios Rivera. who was recently dis
missed from the post OF civil governor of
Havana. All the committees of the Cuban
league and Cuban National party, as we'll as
the labor organizations, have been invited
to attend.
1t is estimated that 1000 able-bodied peo-
pie have arrived n the island since Janu-
ary, as against 1000, exclusive of the Span
ish troops, who have left for Spain during
the interval. Most of those who are arriv-
ing, however, are poor people, while those
going the other way are, as a rule, people
who have accumulated considerable money
in the island.
