A MAD DOG SCARE NEAR
FENTON, WHITESIDE CO.
The mad dog has put in appearance
:i (his seetii n. according to a story
'. liich comes from Whiteside county.
rhcre is a mad dig : ea re near Fcn-
ten. Several an:mals have i.ied from
the rabies, and one man was bitten
bv a dog which it is thought had been
li'oeiilated with the deadly germs of
hydrophobia.
A dog became suddenly mad a day
r two ago. The beast had been ill
or some time, but svmptoius of ra
ies did n t appear, and the animal
was at large. After the signs which
indicate tin- presence of hydrophobia
became apparcui if was learned that
the dog had been about the neighbor
hood and had bitten several others.
These dogs, in turn, were sei.ed with
the malady, and cattle, hogs and
horses were bitten as a consoijiioiice.
Three horses belonging to Mr. Fiiuii-
II til were bitten, and died of rabies,
and it is aiil about twenty-four head
of lugs a re dead or dying of rabies.
Others may have been inoculated and
Ihere is no telling to what extent the
germs have been spread.
Otto Thompson is the name of the
veiling man who was bitten by a dog.
which animal may have been one of
those suiTcring from rabies. So far
no dangerous symptoms have appear
ed, but the victim and his friends
await the outcome with ei nsiderable

PAPER IS EXCITED
Truth About Late Republican
Convention Works Union Into
Terrible Stew.
SPEAKING FOE THE COMBINE
Vain Attempt to Salve the Wounds
Inflicted on Rank and File
of Party in Country.
The Union, in its excitement this
morning over the revelation of the
actual state of affairs in the late re
publican county convention, attrib
utes to Sheriff Y. G. Heider an expres
sion relative to The Argus that this
paper does not believe him guilty of.
Mr. Heider is in Chicago today, and
therefore could not be seen, but the
tactics and talk of a hoodlum have
been so far from his nature, as far as
The Argus has been able to know him.
that it prefers meanwhile to rest its
judgment on what it has seen of him
rather than take the Union's word for
what he is alleged to have said. There
was nothing that can be construed in
what The Argus said of the proceeding'-
justifying an outbreak on Mr.
Heider's part and no attack was made
mi hint whatever. The statement ap
pearing in The Argus, and which out
side papers have also made, w: s thai
the presence of the sheriff in the con
vention alone prevtnted a riot. This
assertion, which is complimentary to
the sheriff rather than otherwise, has
not and cantu t be successfully con
tradicted. YVhilc some of the delegates
left in disgust, there were plenty of
the delegates, at whom the outrage of
the entire proceeding was aimed, who
remained to the last, ami if the threats
that had been made to remove C. J.
Searle from the house because he was
merely standing on his parliamentary
rights, had not been piieted before
any attempt was made to execute
them, there would have been a serious
conflict. It was the sheriff solely who
prevented serious trouble.
I0ipsiir Hurt (Inllty.
There is nothing that so disturbs
the guilty as exposure of its guilty
deeds. The outrage committed on
decent republicans from the beginning
to the end oi the county convention
cannot be undone bv denia
The fa-
vorite expression
the Union has of
late resorted to in discussing such af
fairs does not in any way strengthen
Ihe defense it is attempting to make.
It is easy recklessly to employ the
word "liar" as applied to anyone that
may take exception to certain ways of
doing, and the freipienov with which
the morning paper has used this epi
thet recently is pretty direct evidence,
if such were wanting, of the source of
ils editorial an ! political inspiration.
Anent the county convention, the tac
tics of the combine were to browbeat
from the opening the proceedings.
The forcing of Kennedy as chairman
j was a defiance. The thr It ling of till
motions in the interc.-t of iti.it and
parliamentary practice was in strict
adherence to the program to rule the
situation whether right or wrong. As
the whole convention proceeding was
high handed the result cannot fail to
prove otherwise than weak. There
werc three things the combine set out
to accomplish -control the conven
tion, the stale's attorney and the
county committee. It did all three.
The combine will again find itself face
to face with the people, who are not
to be intimidated or bulldoed.
PAUL W. BISSICK STEALS
TO AID HIS YOUNG FRIEND
Paul W. Jiissick and Charles M. Han
son returned to their home in Du
buijue last evening in charge of the
latter boy's father. Mr. Hanson is
proprietor of a commissi) n house and
is one of the wealthy men of the eitv.
I'.issiek was employed as collector by
him. I'.issiek and his son Charles are
chums. Charles got into a scrape
with a gill. It required $2.10 to avoid
a scandal. Charley was without funds
and was afraid1 to approaeli hi- father
on the dillieulty into which he had
gotten. I.issiek was his friend. I'.is
iik had the money needed after a
day's collections. The case was set-tl-d
and the girl left the city. I'.issiek
intended to wait a few days and then
make a clean breast of the affair to
his chum's father. Put he found that
he did not possess the courage, and he
and Hanson decided that the safest
move was to leave town. The boys
were firgiven by Mr. Hanson.
May Lane. Pell Howard. Lottie Jen
sen. May Drown, Tunic Kimball and
Paul Smith were each fined for dis
orderly conduct in the police court
today.
Aibert llernham. a stranger, was ar
