-Four Times.

Master Bryant Brady, who was bit
ten by dog believed to be mad, and
on account of which his parents have
baen terribly worried and distressed
during the past few days, was taken
last night to Forrest City.
Here the famous maidstone now in
the possession of Mrs. Fittman OF
that city, was applied to the wound in
the little fellows eide, and by its pow
ers enough poison was extracted to
Kill ten men Ii is believed by Mr..
Brady, who returned today with his
son, that the danger is now passed,
and that they have nothing to fear
from the bite of the rabid animal.
The maidstone said Mr.. Brady,
was applied three times last night
after we reached Forrest City, adher-
lug for iiIty minutes the first time
Tue second and third times it Was ap.
piled, after cleaning, the stone adhered
from twenty 10 thirty minutes. BY
that time it WAS past > o'clock, and so
We waited until this morning, when
the stone was again applied. 1t then
adhered for twenty minutes in one
small place, but after that did not hold
al all, though we tried dozen times =
Master Bryant Brady was as clipper
as could be upon his return. and his
father was also feeling good over the
result of the trip. The little fellows
side had six wounds IN it, made by
the dogs teeth, but fortunately the
flesh was not torn. The application of
the maidstone has undoubtedly saved
the boys life Helena World 9Th.

TAKEN FROM JURY
Sudde en- Ending of Case of Mrs.
Lucy BIinn Against Port
Byron.
DAMAGES OF $4,000 ARE ASKED
For Injuries Alleged to Have Been
Received in Fall on
Walk.

The case of Mrs. Lucy Blinn against
the village of Port Byron was
brought to a sudden termination in
the circuit court yesterday after
noon just after the evidence for the
plaintiff had all been taken. The at
torneys for the defense moved that
the case be taken from the jury on
the grounds that the evidence did
not warrant verdict for the plain
tiff, and Judge Trimble sustained
the motion. Mrs. Blinn is so years
of age and she was endeavoring to
recover $1,000 for personal injuries
alleged to have been sustained in a
fall on a defective sidewalk. She was
represented by Weld & Olmsted
and Searle & Marshall appeared for
the village.
Another Damage Suit.
\ jury was empannelled today and
the trial of the case of Daniel Nc
Cleary against Deere q Co., of Mo-
line, was begun. The plaintiff, who
is represented by Searle & Marshall,
is trying to recover $1,000 for injur-
les sustained two years ago by
the bursting of an emery wheel while
he was an employee of the company.
Wood & Peek represent the defense.

MLEAN COUNTY CLAIMS
OLDEST MAN IN ILLINOIS

Francis NJ. Anthony. of Mclean
co-Aty. claims to be the Oldest man
in Illinois. and his friends say that
he has the documents to prove the
fact. Mr.. Anthony is now in his 1O2d
year. and there is every ordinary in
dication that his lamp of life will
burn brightly for some time to come.
The centenarian resides with his
daughter. Mrs. ID. c. Freeman, ON
her fine farm three miles south of
Bloomington. He was born in Mayo
county, Ireland, on May s, 1900. and
has been so fortunate
as to live in three centuries. At the
age of 20 he emigrated to this coun-
try with his parents, who themselves
lived to be over so years old. Mr..
served as captain i'm the
French rebellion of 1897 in Canada.
He first came to Illinois II 1873.
and was so favorably impressed with
the country about Bloomington that
he resolved to stay there. He pos
sesses all of his faculties and talks
entertainingly of the days when the
republic was in the beginning of its
life.

Mayor Alone Responsible
For Existing City Evils

The Union seems to be having an
awkward time in endcavoring. TO
shift the responsibility for existing
evils in the city from the shoulders
of the mayor to those of the chief of

piqued at the Argus because it is

3 1t has never been the purpose of
the Argus to uphold laxity on the
part of any subordinate official in the
government, and where
any fails in his duty the mayor

should, of course, exercise his au-
thority iIf the premises.
But the people as Il whole rightly
look to the general head whom they
have selected to administer the af-
fairs of the city. He is the one re-
sponsible for the conduct of the va
rious departments under his direc-
ton, and the Uhion cannot excuse
the blunders and failings of the
mayor by belaboring those under him
for not carrying out his orders.
If the head of a department is not
obeying instructions the city's head
should be competent enough to
handle his case-and that is the be-
ginning and the ending of that.

Chair in English and History.

He wanted Rock Island to endow
a chair-say one in English--and
Moline another in history. He did
not expect the club to father the en-
terprise; he simply sought its coun-
sci and advice as, the organization hav-
ing for its membership the men to
whom he must necessarily look for
Encouragement and material aid. DR..
Andreen told of the interest that had
been aroused in Sweden in behalf of
Augustana. a $4,000 endowment hav-
ing been subscribed on condition that
100000 be raised in America. August
ana was forging ahead, becoming
more thoroughly American with each
succeeding year of its existence. and
its 5Oth anniversary, he sincerely be-
lieved, would see it grown to one of
the largest colleges in the west.
Drs. c. c. Carter and G.. l.. Eyster

ingly of DR.. Andreen's project, and

$4,000.

DIR. GuStave Andreen, president of
Augustana college and theological
seminary, proposes a half million en-
dowment in celebration of the 5Oth
anniversary of the institution in 1910.
Fifty thousand he expects O raise
in the home city of the college. and
m equal amount in Moline. He is
confident that if this generosity to-
ward the college is shown at home
there will be no difficulty in securing
the balance of the half million from
outside sources.
DIR. Andreen confided his hopes to
the members of the Rock Island club
at their monthly meeting last night.
He did not expect to see the money
Forthcoming Immediately. He would
be patient. What he wanted first
was Il manifestation of that interest
that should exist between the people
Of city and college of the char
acter of Augustana located within
It's borders, not that Rock Island had
not always done handsomely by the
institution. but that there should be
4 closer relation, with mutual adj

people. DIR. Andreen felt it was prop
er to come among the citizens of his
own town first for, as he said, all
good undertakings are begun at
home.
