r, D. WILLIAMS DEAD.

Richard Dudley Williams died
at his home at Batesville last
Friday morning, July 26, 1901.
He was nearing his Goth year and
had been in bad health for sew
eral years. On Tuesday before
his death he was attacked by
diarrhoea, and in his low state OF
health did not have the strength
to withstand this malady.
Deceased was buried at the
family cemetery just west of this
place on Saturday in the pres
ence Of a large number of friends
from this place and surrounding
community and also from Bates
vile, services at the last resting
place being conducted by Rev.
DR.. Bennett of Batesville.
MIR. Williams was a Tennessee
an by birth, his parents locating
in this section when he was but
three years of age. He became
a merchant in 1858 and was en-
gagged in that business here until
1887 when he removed to Bates
vile. There he established the
firm Of X. D. Williams C Co. of
which he remained a member
until last January when he re-
tired from active busiaess, being,
however, still interested in the
business of Williams & Edwards
at this place.
The deceased was a member of
the NJ. E. Church South, also the
Masonic order and Knights Of
Honor. He leaves behind a wife

high diplomatists had always to be on
their guard against intriguing women,
mainly Russian agents, who would use
any vile TO extract information. Dur

rope was always on the verge of a

most anxious to know what England
would do under given circumstances.

Coffee is such adirect poison to the
nerve centers of many highly organ
lied people that it produces all sorts
of disorders, from stomach and
bowel troubles, palpitation of the
heart, kidney troubles, ETC., etc. up
to more intricate nervous diseases,
such as paralysis. The way to keep
well is to leave off coffee or any nerve
destroyer of that sort, and use Pos
tum Food Coffee, which is a direct
rebuilder of the nerve centers. Sure
and well defined improvement in
health will follow this course, as can
be proven by any person who will
make the trial.

wood Too Hard to burn.

There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as IRON
wood and the good brier root, but ii is
a curiosity to come across a piece of
common deal-the soft, light wood of
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to.
The piece of wood in question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for its comparative
weight. 1t had formed part of a boat
belonging to a whaler and had been
dragged below the surface of the wa
ter to the depth of more than half a
mile by a harpoOned whale. The
length of line and the short distance
from the point of descent after being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was a proof of the depth to
which it had dragged the boat.
Only part of the boat came up again
at the end of the line, and it was taken
Oh board when the whale had been
killed. That piece of wood was so
hard that it would not burn in n gas
jet. The weight of water had COM
pressed it.-London Standard.

This is one of the many results of

of grain receipts at Chicago, wants
the position. This office will go to

FAITHFUL MEET AT GALEsBURe
James Mckinney to be Retired From

Commission.

An all day session of the republi-

the new Fifteenth district, compris-
ing Henry, Knox, Fulton, Schuyler
and Adams counties, was held at
Galesburg yesterday in accordance
with the request of the state central
committee.
w. III. Shaw, of Canton, was elected
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-11-06

by the administration to do an inn
possibility-to-wit: he must be re-
elected to the state central commit
tee as Yates-Lorimer man from
his congressional district, the Four
teenth. Mr.. Mckinney lives in Mer-
Ger county.
The republicans in Mercer and adj
joining counties think the good of the
party would best be promoted by the
retirement from politics of William
Lorimer. While Mr.. Mckinney is
popular in his district and regarded
there as elsewhere in the light of an
influential man, he cannot handle
the Fourteenth for either Lorimer or
Yates. Mack Sholl, of Hancock, rep
resented the old Marsh district on
the committees. Shon and McKin-
ney both reside in the Fourteenth
Sholl is opposed to Lorimer.
Since the alliance between Yates
and Lorimer is so patent, Sholl or
any other anti-Lorimer man will
carry the district by ten to one
vote as aginst a Lorimer man.
Mr.. Mckinney is an able navigator,
accustomed to all political tides, gulf
streams and squalls. He can reef his
sails and get into safe port, thus
avoiding a typhoon, as quickly as
any man. He cannat land the Four
teenth district for Yates and Lori
mer and is well aware of the condi-
tions which obtain.
Mercer is but a block or two re-
moved from McDonough, Speaker
Sherman's old home. Sherman will
and is fighting Lorimer. Up to the
democratic gerymander of 1898 Mer-
Ger, Hancock and Henderson made n
senatorial district. Berry and Me-
Kinney are warm personal friends.
Both Berry and Sherman have many
followers in the Thirty-third sena-
torial district, made up of Rock ISL
and, Mercer and Henderson. William
Payne, the senator from Rock Island.
will not be returned, and some other
republican, probably from Rock ISL
and, will be sent to the senate.
Rock Island, Mercer and one-half
of the delegation from Henderson
can. by uniting, swing the congress
sionaI district. 1t is not known vet
whether Col. Marsh will be n candi-
date for denomination. According
to the law of politics. the counties
comprising senatorial districts invar-
iably unite if they can control con-
gressional conventions.
These are the conditions which OBJ
tain among the republicans in the
Fourteenth congressional and Thirty
third senatorial districts. Mr.. Nc
Kinney, if he goes out to do battle
for Yates and Lorimer, finds himself
for the first time in his life without
n following, and that in a community
where he is immensely popular. So
he will leave the board of warehouse
commissioners and Bidwell will ''lum-
Der in
Yates did not want to give the
place to Mckinney in the first in
stance. He heId back, Offering Nc
Kinney everything from state agent
at Podunk to prevent cruelty to ami
mails to commissioner of the Chester
prison.
Mr.. Lorimer was hammering away
for Bidwill all the time. The news
papers took up the fight against Bid
will. Governor Yates was determined
to give the place to Bidwill, but at
the last minute reversed himself and
was appointed. Bidwill
was made chief grain Inspector.
Mr.. Mckinney cares but little for |
the position, anyway. He knows Gov
ernor Yates did not want to appoint |
him to begin with.
