Tne accepted proposition calls for the selling of the bonds at pir, at one per cent commission and five per cent interest. The amount is $13,500, $35,00 of which miture December 5, 1888, $5,000 in 1839, $5,000 in 1890. and $5,000 in 1891. The board then adjourned. BLEW Ol'T THE GAS. A Tonne Lady Almost Asphyxiated at the Rock Island Hmw. The oft-repeated story of the conse quence of blowing out the gas, came very near being illustrated al the Rock Island house last night. Bliss Augusta John son, of Mcl'berson. Kan., was given a room at the hotel last night, adjoining the one occupied by her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Johnson, of Bishop Hill, At 5 o'clock this morning, Mr. Johnson was awakened by the sound of groans in the room of his neice, and knocking received no response, so he en tered and found the lady in an uncon scious state and laboring terribly for breath. The atmosphere was dense with escaping gas. Dr. Cowden was summoned immediately and after consid erable effort succeeded in resuscitating the patient, who bad been inhaling the deadly compound since 1 1 o'ciock last night, when she had blown out the gas and retired. The youug lady is eigh teen years of age, ami it ta a great won der that she rallied at ail after having become so unconscious under the influ ence of the gas, which has proved fata! in so many hundreds ol rases. The win dows and transoms were closed and there was not the least vent by which air could gain entrance. The lady is sufferiug from a severe headache today, but otherwise does not feel the effects of her experience. She has learned a lesson well worth remem berinc. Minsine for Hennepin. In St. Louis they have about concluded to submit to the inevitable and be jolly over it. At a reunion of the Loyal Legion of Missouri in that city, given in honor of Gen. Fairchild, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, the St Louisans joined in singing: Tlierr" n ciey on the river.

Fairchild congratulated St. Louis, "for the ffeuuepin canal is bound to come," he said. Mr. Urydrn lmprovins. The Monmouth (iazetk says Mr. Dry den's physical condition continues to im prove as has been reported the past week or two. He sits up on the bed or in a chair at times. In fact an effort ha9 to be made to keep him quiet. What he needs is rest, and hence his endeavors to exercise his body are not encouraged. More encouraging than his physical im provement is that of bis miud. Ue is rapidly becoming more rational. This morning when visited by Dr. Wallace he answered questions regarding his condi tion accurately. He realizes that the trouble is with bis head. He also in re ply to questions as to how he passed the night, told what had hapiened and spoke understanding of the treatment that had been followed. All indications point to a complete recovery of his mean tal faculties. The Remedy. Galesburg is having a great time over the question of lighting the city. It has finally been decided to let the matter rest ' in statu quo" until the next council comes in. Al the last meeting a full hour was spent in discussing the placing of one gasoline lamp. One of the grave and reverend aldermen wanted to return to primitive methods and go around with lanterns in the hand, every man fur nish his own light, ns it were. Our sis ter city should borrow some of Rock Isl and's aldermen, and wc could spare the mayor for a few days, in order to assist in remedying ;ue difficulty prevalent in that burg at the present time. A Free Entertainment. The people of Trinity Parish are going to have a grand parish gathering, with supper, music, Christmas tree, etc., at Turner hall on Wednesday, Dec. 29. We understand that there will be no charge for admission, or for supper; everything being free, as the members of l lie parish only are expected to be present, and there being over 450 of these, it will be impos sible for them to accommodate others, The whole thing is quite unique, being a sort of family gathering not for making money, but for social greetings and enjoy ment. ROGUE OR DEAD HERO. (irenmfttan era Index Which mm Ex press StstCKcr Mnst be One eT the Two. The life of the express messenger is not a happy one, as evinced by the con versation of one of the craft with an Anot'8 reporter last evening. The drift of the remarks turned on the recent bold train robberies, implicating the messen-. ger in charge of the express car. "The truth of the matter is," remarked the messenger, "the position of the ex press messenger has got to be a pretty difficult one to fill. The time has come when there seems to be no other alterna tive for him in dealing with robbers but to compel the villains to kill him, or be sent to jail as a villain himself. Either way is, of course, ruin to him . His praise may be sung over his mutilated remains or he must be .logged about the country by dcteclivcB anxious to gain a reputation by fastening a crime to hi m whether he is innocent or nut, and even though these smart fellows' do not succed in estab lishing his guilt, the shallow of the crime rests upon him and his reputation is blasted forever. Nichols died a hero, but if he was alive today he would proba bly be in jail, because Pinkerton'B detectives are not sharp enough to find out the actual perpetrator of the crime. Look at Folheringham, the Adams ex press messenger; be is deprived of bis liberty; compelled to lay in jail under $20,000 bonds because his car on the Missouri Pacific road was robbed, and when found he was tied hand and foot, and now that the detectives are baffled, they accuse Folheringham of being the robber. His friends and family have either to bear the disgrace of a crime that he his not been guilty of, or follow his remains to the cemetery." 'Among the news items in one of our metropolitan papers the other day, 1 no ticed that a man by the name of James Brown, an express messenger, had died at Fort Keogh, Mont., from wounds in flicted by daring express robbers. Proba bly Brown bravely endeavored to defend his trust, as the majority of messengei s would do, when the robbers had got 'the drop' on them, but his faithfulness was rewarded by pain and death: had be lived, he would have suffered the pangs of ac cusation and suspicion, which must be worse than death. There seems to be but one thing for a messenger to do, when his safe has been robbed, no matter how heroically he defends his treasure, and that is to jump out of the car door and let the train run over him." The messenger spoke in earnest, and there is certainly more truth than fiction in his remarks. There is probably as much bravery in the express car as there is in a great many of the police and de tective agencies in the country and um bo as little rascality. AntwnfitN. Manager Knell will produce "Rinch 10" at Harper's theatre next Wednesday evening, Dec. Id. This play is an American dram, picturing life in the far west, such as American ranchmen are often brought in conflict with, snlis very realistic. One of the many interesting features is the mechanical fire scene, produced with such stage effect that it is pronounced superior to anything of its kind ever seen. The press speaks cum mendatorily of the pieca aud the com pany especially, it having a very strong cast. The Syracuse Journal of Tuesday even ing. September 7 says: "The week was opened at the Wieting last evoning by the "Ranch 10" combin ation, and a very large audience were in attendance. The piece is one of intense excitement natural to the border drama. There are many opportunities for good act ing throughout its course, and these have been well placed in competent hands. James Neil in a dual role makes a very favorable impression. Mr. Bullish mak es a capital representative of the far western judge and keeps his audience in the best of humor. The scenery is good throughout, but specially so in the ex plosion and fire act, which is so remark ably realistic. It is a feature of the per formance and well worth seeing. A Good Investment. Anyone v. bo has ever dealt in lands. knows that no investment of money will so surely and quickly yield a return, as such a venture if carefully made. To the absolute safety a', a government bond, is added a profit far in excess of rate of interest which can be obtained on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb raska especially lands are raising in value very rapidly aud with a steady growth which gives assurance of stability. The good season and the great tide of immi gration into these stales has made invest ment there doubly Bafe and desirable. The climate of Southern Nebraska and of Kansas, free as it is from the long rigourous cold winter, added to a soil unsurpassed for richness and productive capacity, has made possible the wonderful development of these states. To the far mer they bold out special inducements. Cheap land, easy term of purchase, good markets and varied products enable him to own his farm at a smaller cost and with less labor than is required to pay rent for the land be occupies here, or the interest on the money he has invested in it. If you are looking for a safe place to invest money, where it will pay you a large and sure profit, or if you are a farm er and want a farm of your own, call on me and see what 1 nave to offer. I will make the visit profitable to you. tyflce over American Express office. Rock land. Ill . Saville Johnston. Advertwed Lint of Letter.

A Brilliant Party at Jadfe Lynde-g Mansion iMt venln-The Rodman Rifle Ball. The social event of the season, indeed one of the most brilliant affairs that has ever taken place in Rock Island, was the party given at the Lynde mansion on Sixteenth street and Third avenue in honor of Miss N. R. Macomb, of Wash ington, last evening. Miss Macomb is the daughter of Col. J. N. Macomb, who for several years prior to 1877, was sta tioned at Rock Island, having in charge the Mississippi river improvement at this point, and the lady who wag then very popular in society here, was greeted by a large number of her old friends an i as many cew ones last evening. The man sion was thrown open from the parlor floor to the third story, being elegantly illuminated and handsomely decorated. In the parlors the older folks chatted or played domestic games, while ou the third floor Schillinger's orchestra fur nished music for dancing. There were about 175 present, the society of the three cities being well represented. The gen tlemen appeared in full evening dress, and the toilets worn by the ladies were elaborate and beautiful. The supper was served by Terrell and his corps of assist ants, and that gentleman did himself proud in the spread he bad prepared. It was after 2 o'clock this morning when the last carriage drove away from the mansion. The select ball given by the Rodman Rifles al Armory hall last evening was a delightfully successful affair. There were about twenty couple on the floor and joined in the merry waltz to the music of Blcuer orchestra. The supper was served by Hawthorne in the A. O. U. W ball in the upper story of the Armory building. BRIEFLETS. Catawba grapes at Hawley's. California pears at Hawley's. Fresh bulk oysters at Hawley's, Nice malaga grapes at Lamp's.

Marked rrogrrsfi In China. Said A. G. Angier, of the London and China express: "1 am on my way home, having sjient the last six months in the east with a view to studying the progress of the Asiatic nations. In China atid Japan the change is marked, but more strongly in the former. One of the principal beauties in Chinese progression is their immense adoption of tho telegraph and consequent concentra tion of governmental power at Pekin. By tho present arrangement viceroys that hitherto were almost equivalent to heads of principalities, owing to the distance fmm the capital and time requisite for transmission of orders or reports, arc unvv completely sub servient to tho powers at I'ektti. China is threaded tiy telegraph, no ono really knowing how extensive it is. The material is purchases in Europe or England and tho work done by the natives.
