from its lethargy, threw of its long
slumber and administered such a
sudden and awful blow to the an

proud kingdom of the naughty
Dons trembled to its foundations,
this beautiful isle, apparently
consecrated to peace was turning
night into day, straining every nerve

THE USE OF The NEW LEVEE.
Steamboat Side of the Warehouse Ques-
tim Again Abuses by Teamsters.

Steamboat Side or the warehouse QueS-
tim Again Abuses by Teamsters.
The steamboat side of the levee
question should not be lost sight of, :"
said veteran river man in discus
sing the warehouse matter with an
ARGUS representative yesterday, 'for
what is the levee for if it is not to en-
courage and help the steamboat busi-
ness? If the city has determined not
| to permit any one company to erect
warehouse on the river front, then
the common warehouse, open to all
boats and controlled by the city,
should be looked into and decided
upon at once, for if building is to be
put up down there at all the sooner
the better. And the people of Rock
Island should not overlook the fact
that the boats do more for the city in
year than they get in return. Let's
have the matter settled one way or
the other, at all events, so that we
may know what TO expect"
The utter disregard of the sand
haulers from the barges along the
river front-which by the way should
be given some other place to tie up
tor the levee improvement is causing
many expressions of Indignation, and
Mayor McConochie will do popular
rs well as wise thing if he will take
the matter in hand. From the sandboat
landing at the foot of Nineteenth
street, diagonally across the levee to
Eighteenth street, about a third of
the down the way slope. the sand
wagons have by persistent use of
the same track cut deep rut
which already mars the appear
ance and usefulness of the levee,
and it is daily becoming worse. 1t is
not necessary for the teamsters to
pursue the same course each time
they come up with a load of sand and
uniform travel on the levee will not
hurt it, for that is what it is for. The
heaviest granite pavement would not
fail to show the effects of constant
teaming with heavy loads in the same
track.

PFENNIG WAS A FORGER.
Large Number of Victims Among the
Germans.

Large Number of Victims Among the
Germans.
Four mortgages on Rock county real
estate, given by the late Max Pfennig
of GAINESVILLE as security on a loan OF
$1,000, have turned out to be forgeries
The holder of the mortgages called at
the office of the register of deeds after
hearing of Pfennig's death, to ascertain
if the mortgages were recorded, and then
learned that they were all forgeries.
The party giving the mortgages does not
own foot of the land mentioned in the
document. Pfennig is the man who is
supposed to have fallen or jumped from
steamer while crossing the lake from
Ludington to Milwaukee. Many people
who know of the deals in which Pfen-
mig was mixed up think that he is still
alive. 1t is claimed that he had in his
possession money which he obtained
from many Germans to invest for them.
It is certain that many have been look
ing for him since his disappearance.
Besides the bogus mortgages that
were given by Pfennig, several other
forgeries came to light Friday afternoon.
A woman came into the register of
deeds Office with mortgage that she
alleged was transferred to her by Pfen-
ning-she said she gave him $1,000 to
loan for her. To this paper was forged
the name of Louis f. Knipp, a we'll
known brewer, and his wife. Another
was supposed to be given by Herman
Poetzold to Ernstein Heffmeister for
$500. 1t was supposed to be recorded
April 4, 1899. Pfennig's name was at
tached to it.
There are all sorts Of rumors OF late as
to financial transactions by Pfennig, and
those who are in position to know al
lege that there will be some startling
disclosures soon. Pfennig was known as
the king of the Germans" and hun
dreds of that nationality. some of whom
could not speak the English language,
went to him to have their money loaned.
It is alleged that in many cases they
have not so much as his individual note
for security. He was paying taxes on
about $4,000 or $4,000 of property in
GAINESVILLE and it is reputed that he
turned his residence over to his daugh-
ter, Miss Imgard Pfennig, before he went
away That he was badly mixed up in
his finances has been generally known
for some time and he felt that he had
about reached his limit. His defalca-
tions threaten to be many thousands.

The following from an exchange is

The following from an exchange is
to the point: Before you listen to the
complaints of your children about the
tiendishness of the teachers, and get all
worked up and excited over it, it is bet
ter to reflect little. Remember your
one or half dozen cherubs drive you
crazy about half the time and bear with
the teacher who is making for you in
telligent men and women of as unpromis-
ing material as you were twenty or
thirty years ago. Remember that be-
sides your own boy, who, of course every
body. knows is an angel, she has to con-
tend with the boy of your neighbor, and
you know full well what a terror he is. y
"A good house, as usual, greeted the
time worn but ever interesting old story
OF Uncle Tom at the opera house last
evening. The Young Bros. production
is something new, and it is taking as
well. Of course the lines of Uncle Tom s
Cabin are not given in full, they could
not be with the pleasing and taking
specialties produced, unless two nights
were consumed in giving the show. The
orchestra is a bird. the colored quartette
is great and the dancing and cake walk
up to date. The entire performance was
pleasing, and gave satisfaction. Mr..
Young certainly has the greatest Uncle

Obituary.
JERRY CRITTENDEN.

A familiar figure in Edgerton for many
years, Uncle Jerry Crittenden, died at
his home in this city on Friday last at
the age of Il years. Jeremiah Critten-
den was born in Sussex, England, Jan
uary 22d, 1928. He was married in 1850
and in August 1871 emigrated to Amer
lea and settled first on farm in Rock
county. Fifteen years ago he sold his
farm and came to Edgerton. For term
of IL years he was nightwatchman in this
city and in this capacity rendered faith
full and satisfactory services. The people
of our city learned to know that while
they slept the town was carefully
watched over while Uncle Jerry was on
duty. The old gentleman had heart in
him as large as his robust Frame and
the children all learned to love him. A
few years ago cancerous affection be-
gan to trouble him and became later
serious affection. He submitted to two
Or three operations that afforded tenn
porary relief but the desease would soon
crop out in another place and later
diffused itself through his entire system.
However, week or so before his death
he was feeling much better than usual
and through the contracting of sever
cold brought on a complication of old
troubles fastened his death. A faithful
wife who has been his helpmate for
nearly half century, and son, George
Crittenden, survive Funeral services
took place from the Congregational
church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Moore
officiating and interment was made in
FaSSett cemetery.

ON THEW TO THE PHILIPPINES
An Edgerton Boy Sends Christmas Greet
ings From HOnululu.

An Edgerton Boy Sends Christmas Greet
ings From Honululu.
| Clyde D. White, member of Co. G
10th Inf, U. S. ", writes from Honululu,
enroute to the Philippines, to Edgerton
relatives under date of November 9th,
i from which we are permitted to make
quotations. "We arrived here Saturday
night and leave tomorrow SO under
stand. This is paradise of an island;
[ never saw such sights as growing rice,
oranges, cocoanuts, bananas, and you
can imagine how much enjoy it. The
population of the city is $4,000, and
people from almost every country can be
seen here. The natives are themselve a
clever race and unlike the negroes, are
very busy all the time. The streets are
just wide enough for two teams to pass.
What amuses me most is the Chinese
signs, for you know the Chinese are the
merchants, artisans and in, fact own
| about three quarters of the stores in this
city, and not one of them but can tell
the value of an American coin. One
thing that struck me was the fine horses
and rigs and enouiring about it was in
formed that every horse on the island
was sent there from the states. The
rigs are all up to date, rubber tires,
negro coachmen, etc. They have street
cars here that take you anywhere for a
dime and you cannot help getting your
moneys worth. This morning we
marched 10 miles to the Punch Bowl,
which is the crater of volcano, and got
a good survey of the Ocean, returning to
town at l o'clock and have the rest of
the time to ourselves. AS I write I got
to thinking of the difference in our sit
uation and the people back home wear
ing overcoats and mittens, while we here
are sweating drops as large as water
| MELONS.
We had rough voyage over from
Frisco, of II days, when we should have
made it in 6 or 7; there was only three
men in the company that was not sick
and was one of them. I did not like
'Fisco and would not care to live there,
possibly because I was sick most of the
three weeks we stayed there with chills
and fever and did not get down town
but once during our stay. But [ am
feeling fine this voyage and when get
back shall want to see South America
and probably will.
You can scarcely imagine the differ
ence in the taste of oranges and bananas
here and those we get in Wisconsin. [
didn't think there could be such diff
ference. A green orange here lasts
sweeter than any one you could ever buy
back home, and the tobacco is also diff
ferent. You can buy cigar for nickle
that would cost 25 cents in our country.
Our captains name is Hickman, he is
from Racine. There are two Beloit boys
in our company and one from Evansville
