THINK MACK WON'T RUN
Feeling at Carthage i That He Will
Decline Nomination.

The report is being circulated
about the Fourth supreme court dis
trict that Judge ID. f. Mack of Car
thage, nominated at the Macomb con-
vention by the republicans, will de-
cline to make the campaign. From
Carthage the report comes that Judge
Mack can not be located, and that
when he left he stated that he did
not wish to be troubled with bust
ness or politics. The sentiment is
strong at Carthage that Judge Mack
will not be a candidate in spite OF
the fact that he has been nominated.

WIFE RETURN
Augustana Professor Tells of
His Observations While in
India Recently.
NOT AS BAD AS REPORTED
Says Conditions in Some Respects
Are Better Than in Countries
of Higher Civilization.

DIR. c. w. Foss and family returned
yesterday from long trip of several
months in foreign lands. They left
Rock Island Sept. 30 last year. and
went TO Spain and Italy for a short
pleasure trip, and then 10 India for
the purpose of studying the conditions
in that country. The journey through
out was one of great interest tn the
family, and their fund of anecdotes
would fill good sized volume They
visited every country in Europe, with
the exception of Portugal, Holland and
Scotland, and passed custom 10 times.
They also visited the Holy Land and
Egypt. and saw many of the interest
ing landmarks of bible history
Tells of observations.
The purpose of the visit 10 India was
TO study the conditions in that coun-
try They found the conditions very
different from what they had expect
ed from rumors of oppression which
are prevalent.
DR.. Foss, when seen by representa-
tive of The Argus today, stated that
the trip was highly enjoyable in spite
of a few unpleasant circumstances
which made it impossible for him TO
visit some of the places where he had
planned to obtain much interesting
data.
In talking of the conditions in India
DR.. Foss said: The condition of India
is in many respects far in advance of
The more civilized countries. The
roads are very fine. They are we'll
drained and kept in a state far better
than our own reads. The English gov
eminent has divided the country into
three presidencies and placed English
men at the head of them. The only
trouble to be found is created by agi-
tators. AS a rule the natives are we'll

living in the same old way in which
their ancestors had lived for genera
