A 11 union, to Those who Ooa't Think as lie Dues Leu l.lket;whei-e He la Ilea Known. Titterinrton, the republican can didate for county treasurer, has lit- le respect lor those who differ with ira in matters of poller or theory. His prejudice against those who do not think as he does bus made him anything but popular in the immedi ate community in which he reside. n fact, be is most disliked where he s best known. His violent disre gard for the opinions of others not coinciding with his has led him to make many disrespectful remarks concerning those of a contrary way of looking at things, and resulting in enemies which very inopportunely for Mr. Titterinzton are iust now printing up in all parts of the woods down his way. Offense to the Germans. Titterington has radical views on the subject of the habits of others not entirely in keeping with those which he observes individually. An illus tration of this was afforded a short time ago, when to a group of citi zens 01 r.uirinsrton township he . said to have insolently assort- 1 that "the only difference be tween a Dutchman and a hog" was that "the Dutchman lives to swill beer, and the hog lives to dispose of swill." This disgusting insult to the German people Titterington thought capital joke at the time, and he laughed heartily after he had gotten it off. On the Subject of Pcnslous. On the suDject of pensions to old soldiers, littenngton is very pro nounced in his views. He is so con temptibly parsimonious in his own habits, begrudging every cent that he is obliged to expend, that he also dislikes to see the government pay out money lor any cause, no matter how deserving, and it is a favorite expression with him while convers ing on the subject of soldiers pen sion to allude to those who are on the government lists as "government paupers." these characteristics in littering- ton's composition, which bring out such outrageous insults in an at tempt to be sarcastic with those who may not think as he docs, explain in part the reason he is so generally disliked in tne lower end, and di.iv account to some extent for the ad vantage C. D. Gordon has over him throughont the county, all of which is in turn responsible for the Union's abuse 01 Mr. Gordon. THE AIR LINE PROJECT. A Communication From President Wil liam Ia!lln. A letter from President Dallin. of the Atlantic & Pacilic Kailwav Con struction company, dated Saa Fran Cisco, Cat.. tK-t. 23, has been re ceived bv Fred Hass, chairman of the citizens' committee, to which was re ferred the proposition made the Kock Island people by the road. Air. Dal lin savs: "We have been some time in this state, and, while the railroads and press will oppose us here, the people thoroughly believe in the en terprise and win work lor the road California win lurnish us tree o cost, ample terminals on the bay facing San Irancisco, and the right of wav, 100 feet wide, across the 'state, and also $ 1,000 000 subsidy to !e paid when the road is completed lieside other concessions. e shall be in Chicago about the 29th. and trust to hear from you that you gen tlemen have accepted our proposi tion. Please advise us of your inten tions at your earliest convenience, so that we mav know what can be de pended upon." 1 Mr Baas Reply. In replying to the above, Mr. Hass accepted the terms submitted bv President Dallin as a condition of locating the road within Rock Isl- and's city limits, and assuring him that as soon as a survey is filed the money required on account of the" incurring expenses will be remitted. The 10,000 bonus will be paid as soon as the road is .actually constructed to this point. This is the assurance asked of Rock Island, and as Daven pors and Moline have agreed to do likewise, the location here of th great railway project may be consid ered settled. II the road is built as far west as the Mississippi river. will be surely constructed to Rock Island. . Railroad Motes. J. W. Heilev, of Batavia, N. Y. conductor on the N. Y. C. railway and one of the best known men on the road, says of Parks' Tea: For 10 years 1 have sunered irom constipation tried everything and found nothm of lasting value. Having heard s many talking of Parks' Tea, I tried i without much hope. The first dose moved my bowels easily and now am enred. It works like magic. Sold by Hartz & UUemeyer. Siotk-e.

The reasons for the success of the new court house proposition nre so boundant that to attempt to enum erate them would be an endless task. So many are apparent at all times that no oue can tail, npon the least reflection, to ca.'t his ballot for the bond issue. The fact that the court room is so situated that it be comes necessary to place sawdust in the street and keep the windows about the jury box down when court is in session, no mailer what the state of the atmosphere in order to nsure sufficient quiet to conduct business properly; the f.ict that the county tdiices at present are scat tered not only over three muidinga n court house square, but all over the city, may be merely enumerated as a lew ol the substantial argu ments in support of the issue before the people, and against the folly of resorting to the other positive alter native of expending tW.OO.) on a structure that ought to be con demned in the interest of public safety and decency. Why Delay? The Argcs has yet to hear aov in dividual in the county dispute the fact that a new court house is as badly needed as possible. In view of this condition, which none will de ny, whv delay the improvement when the delay means $30,000? Is there any economy in that? Is there any one who will wish to delay the inev itable and put the coniitv to the a-I- liliotial expense of $30,000, whn tlie new building could be had now at a cost that none will feci? Some striking estimates have been made of the actual individual cost of the new court house erection. From them the following mav lc reproduced: If you own an average farm of 160 acres (average assessed valuation 10.34 per acre) and the average amount of personal property owned by the head ol a Tamily in our coun ty ($180) the court house will cost you $1.55 per year for 20 years of course this estimate is very high, be cause few persons, comparatively. own the aiove anaoanl of property. bat nereis an easy way to compute vour assessment, the nures civen being taken from Coui-ty Treasurer Campbell's recjrds aud are sub scribed to by him: $ 100 assessment f .t ;r year ill.)

A saddle was stolen from Frick & Kautz livery barn last night. The thief has succeeded in eluding cap ture. Fred Warner was bound over to the circuit court in $100 bouds vesterdav afternoon by Magistrate Schroeder for the larceny- of 15 from Gilbert Mnrrav. John Rilev and Richard Morrisev two bums, were given 50 davs each in the county jail by Magistrate Schroeder yesterday afternoon. The clothing found in their possession was stolen from a second-hand store on Twentieth street between Third and Fourth avenues. The result of the investigation fol lowing the strange find bv the two men in tlA riv.r ut. tlio 1ttt rf VitIi. teenth street last Fridaynight, is not as startling as might have been sup posed. The writer of the letter found in the bundle of clothing was George Hakes, who Jor years worked as an engineer on Mississippi river steamboats, and who recently was pardoned from the Iowa state peni tentiary, where he had served three of a 10-vears' sentence. The iierson to whom the letter wit addressed was one of two girls who were in the police court at Davenport but last week. Hakes iret the two girls com ing down the river in a house boat with their parents, at McGregor, and probably thinking the progress of their conveyance a little slow, sent money to bring them to Davenport The house boat with the supposed parents aboard appeared ou the scene Friday, and Hakes, with the two girls, are cow with them, float ing down the river, and probably nn conscious of the sensation the iiud ing of the bundle of clothing and let ter created.

The facts brought out by the cor oner's jury in the inquest over the body of Max Wesenthal. show that the deceased became despondent over his downward career, the chief canse of which was weakness for li quor. Letters fonnd in his grip show the tender solicitude by his brothers in Chicago and Ohio in en deavoring to have Max make a man of himself, and " give np the use of liquor, also helping him financially. The deceased received a check for f 15 Friday from his brother loui. at Chicago, and the accompanying let ter indicates that the money was to e used by Max to pay his fare to Dwight, where his folks had continu ally tried to get him, to take the Keeley cure. Having no other fund left, he paid f 10 of it on his account at the hotel. With the rest he le came intoxicated, remaining in that condition when he went to his room Saturday afternoon, from which he never returned alive. V, The Verdict. The coroner's jury, compo ed of S. V. Scarle, foreman: Peter Philebar, Joseph Stroehle, E. C. Alexander. C. E. Wilton and L. V. Eckhart, re- nrned as its verdict, "that Max Wesenthal's death was due to an overdose of morphine."
