While tho PInkertona aro covertly at work In ferre.tlng tho groat mystery, aud tho amateurs are' accomplishing great tilings to hear them tell It the public will look with suspicion on any clew of a material nature and will believe all such reports originate In the fertile brain of the detectives. But, the latest and most creditable development points in the direction of Galesburg. The man Corners was onco a a resident of Davenport- married his wlfo there only a year ago.

Tho special letter delivery has after eiht month's tiiul.proven an absolute failuro in Moline. It was Inaugurated last October, and by the payment of ten cents extra insures the immediato delivery of a letter upon its arrival at its destination by a special inesseirger. Iu this city it was hailed as a great improvement; two messengers were secured, and every preparation made for a land oflleo business. The boys received as compensation eight cents on each lettter delivered, and could not make shoe leather. One messenger was dropped, and the other soon became disgusted ami resigned his olllcial position.

Since then the letters have been delivered by clerks In the oflleo. In the eight months' service iu this city, ninety-seven letters have been receivedcompensation for delivery or less than twenty-live cents a week. Iu Chicago loo boys were first employed, the number "was subsequently reduced to forty, and now they have dispensed with. them altogether and the letters are delivered by substitute carriers. If it fails In a city like Chicago, what can you expect In the smaller localities.

On this subject Postmaster Ham of Dubuque is quoted as saying: "The fault of the system seems to bo that it is exactly in line with the whole theory of postofllco business and little or no advantuge results from its u.o. The whole value of the postofllce, aside from the carrying and safety of letters, is their prompt delivery at their destinations. Why, then, pay 10 cents for the immediate delivery of a letter that will be promptly delivered anyhow? Tho whole theory of the postal service is an immediate delivery. The new system Is not a success anywhere." The Idea of the government in augurating the system on a basis that secured to the department a profit of twenty per cent was itself absurd.

Distressing Heath. Mrs. Philip Lynch, residing on Twenty-third street, Rock Island, lost an Infant sou In a most distressing manner at a little past last evening. She had the child, aged fourteen months, in her arms, and put hltn down In the yard a few minutes while she went into the house. On returning he was not to bo seen and Hho ran back to the outhouse where she made tho sickening dis covery that the child had fallen into the vault, head downward.

Her piercing shriek brought John Grogan to her assistance, who wrenched up the floor and pulled the boy out by the feet. He was unconscious, ami Dr. Barth, who was called in, made a vain attempt to resuscitate hint bp. fore he told the distracted mother that her child was dead.

Tint Rkm'ulican learns of a com meudablo move beiug agitated by some of tho ladles of Moline: the formation of an association for tho protection of wild birds and their eggs.

At present it is only a subject of discussion, but with duo consider atlou there is reason to hopo for en- lightoumeut on this question of such vital Importance to farmers and fruit growers, to whom tho rapid Increase of Injurious insects is most serious and threatening peril, and with the desired Information must suroly come somo organized effort to check tho growing evil. As tho creeping and Muttering Insect destroyers mul tiply, their natural enemies, the birds, uro becomlug diminished In numbers. Tho most potent agency iu this matter not tho wanton de struction by sportsmen or tho vigor of our recent winters, but the insatla bio demand for feathers for female decoration. Fashiouablo ladies of our land are the ones to cause this thoughtless and wholesale destruc tion. We quote from iigures -pub lished in tho August number of the Prairie Farmer: In a throe months trio a single tax idermist collected bird skins to tho number of 11,018, which Including specimens too badly mutilated for preservation and skins spoiled In the making, would represent a destruction of 15,000.

The same person states that he handles annually about bird skins, about all of which are used for millinery purposes. A single middleman, who collected the spoils of the shooters In one small district, brought to tho taxidermist four mouths about birds. This fashion results very disas trously to tho farmers, as tho food of the bird consists chieily of insects in jurious to tho growing crops. Tho reform In America, as elsewhere, must bo Inaugurated by tiro women, and If tho subject Is properly called to their notice, their feeling will, uo doubt be quick to respond. In various parts of the country this matter has been takeu up and a wide spread Interest in It developed.

In Dayenport a society was organized a few months ago, and includes all tho leading ladies or the city. The object is certainly a humauo one and should And a prompt advocate In tho ladies of Moline. Our beautiful birds are slaughtered in vast numbers for gain. If tho for their skins can be reduced to a small llgure, it will no louger repay tho bird butchers to ply their trade, and the birds haviug no market valeo will be saved. Elsewhere organizations have been formed, and known as "Audubon Societies." Their membership is free to everyone who express a willingness to lend a helping hand in forwarding the object for which it Is formed.

These objects shall be to prevent, as far as possible (1), tho killing of any wild birds not used for food; (2) the destruction of nests or eggs of any wild bird, and (3) the weariug of feathers as ornaments or trimming for dress. Those who are willing to aid in this cause are urged to establish local societies for work in their own neighborhoods. OfK tailor made suits. U. S.

Come at once and secure a bargain-Gould Co. Railroad War Developments. The only new development in the western passenger war between the Rock Island road aad the C. M. Stl Paul, Is the announcement by the latter that It will make a rate of $4.23 from Chicago to Des Moines and Cedar lplds, the same as to Council Bluffs.

They still charge $10 Tor first-class faro to St. Paul, but make a second-class rate of $1.25, a big cut. Tho Rock Island road inaugurated tho war by making a llrst-class fare of $1 25 to St. Paul, which it still maintaines, and lu consequence is doing a heavy business over its Albert Lea Route. Arbitrator Wilson of the Chicago, St.

Louis and Missouri River Asso ciatlon has followed tho of tho Milwaukee, and authorizes the association lines to place tickets iroui Chicago to Council Bluffs on sale at $125 with the use of a rebate. But as the Milwaukee makes a like rate without rebate tho other Council Bluff roads will uo doubt be com pelled to mako a further reduction than at present authorized by Aibi trator Wilson. How long tho war will continue, or to what extent the cuts will be made there is no way of judging. But the principle lines aro strong and have abundant menns to continue the war to an Indefinite end. There was no chango over yesterday's rates from Rock Island received in this city today, aud they remain at $3.10.

Morgan in Moline and Rock Island have urged him to enter the field as a candidate for Sheriff, and he Is seriously considering it. Elder Morgan would certainly make a strong candidate; we hear of none mentioned for the Republican nomination win could gather In the votes ho would. Ho Is strong with church people throughout the county, is a prominent Grand Army man, and has the benefit of being well known In nil sections. The Elder has been Incapacitated for the pulpit by falling health, the physicians have advised a change, and tho sympathies of our people would go out to hi in.
