He reports that the Kankakee river, which was very low last week, has been rising rapidly this week, and that Monday it raised 12 inches inside of 24 hours.

S. M. Brown and Willfam Markus returned to Davenport, lowa, today, after spending a day here with Ed Oliver. They represented a syndicate that considers buying a large acreage of land at Newland. There is some onion land at Davenport and it is all worth SI,OOO per acre. They were surprised to find equally as good onion land here selling for $125 per acre. Attorney C. E. Thompson, of Lafayette, has come out for Mayor Durgan, the democratic candidate. Thompson was formerly a republican and very loyal for some years, then he became disgruntled , and fought the republicans inside the ranks. Then he became a progressive. The citizens at Lafayette nominated Tom Bauer, leading progressive, for mayor, and now Thompson is opposing him and making speeches for Durgan. His shifting tactics have left him little influence and he will carry little toward the Purgan camp but his own vote.

Editor Babcock, still carrying a grouch about losing the postoffice, concluaes a two-column editorial about Lafayette politics with a criticism of Congressman Peterson, placing him in the so-called Murphy-Taggart-Falrbanks*machlne. Bab is going to make it mighty hard for himself to run a democratic paper during the next campaign, for in another long article he takes a rap at democratic mismanagement of the affairs of the state. With his apathy about President Wilsorj and hie open criticism of Secretary Bryan, Babcock’s democracy can about be measured by what the personally can get out of it.
