The room had been occupied as a labora tory by Dr. W. R. Alexander, and was stored with chemicals, drugs, etc., together with the doctor's oper ating chair, boxes of surgical instru ments and other paraphernalia such as would attach to a physician's workshop. Preparatory to moving from the city, a portion of the goods had been sold within the past few days, and DrAlexander having gone to Chicago this morning for the day, being expected back in the morning. Miss Schmitt, daughter of Gen. W. A. Schmitt, proprietor of the Sun Ac cident association, was engaged in packing the goods, and the room be ing dark, had been using a lamp and had just left the room for an instant when she discovered the flame issu ing from within. She alarmed her father. Gen. Schmitt, who, rushing in, seized the lamp, which bud evi dently exploded, and tossed it out of the window, and with excellent pres ence of mind quickly shut the door to the room to prevent a draft. Then the fire alarm was sounded, and all four companies responded quickly, although it was a job for the horses pulling the apparatus1 through the snow. With the aid of chemical extinguish ers the spread of the fire was at once prevented, and then the firemen set to work putting down the blaze. The room was suffocating, and the dense smoke made it an ugly tire to battle, and being anxious to use as little water under the circumstances as possible, it proved an unenviable job, but the efficiency of the Rock Island paid department and equip ment was again shown and the tire put out with remarkably small inci dental destruction. Ths Daangs. It was necessary to use more or less water, of course, and while it wasjudiciously applied, considerable danAge to adjoining property was unavoidable. Dr. Alexander's outfit was valued at $1,500 to f 2,000, and on this is a loss of $800 to 11.000. The damage to the building in floor ing and plaster and from the smoke will amount to f 200, while L. S. Mc Cabe suffers about $200 from water go ing through into the millinery and rib bon department of his store directly beneath. There was no insurance on Dr. Alexander's goods, but the build ing and McCabe stock were fully in sured. The insurance was distributed among the following local agencies: On McCabe stock.

As appears by a special from Ana moss, Iowa, George Baglcy, the ex. press messenger in the employ of the United States Express company, who robbed it of 100.000, was released from the penitentiary there, after serving his sentence of two-years-and-a-half, his term lcing up Mon day. Of course he shortened it con siderably by good lehavior. It is stated that Bagley left Anamosa for Tipton, intending to pay a visit to relatives there, and that he will make bis home in Des Moines. Nothing is said of the vocation he is to follow, but it is inferred from the dispatch that he has had all he wants of the rocky road of the transgressor, and thathe intends to be a straight man in the future. Up to the time of the discevery of his crime, Bagley had been one of the trusted men of the comnanv's larre force of mesKenrars. - rf e ' and his theft occasioned great sur prise among his acquaintances every where. He nas a great many friends who still hope that the future has a good record in store for him. ThoUorana Coaisdlaa. A German Soldier11 is a musical comedy drama from the pen of Harry W.

The com pany is returning home to New York from an extended and successful tour of the Pacific slope, where the star has been literally showered with praise from both press and public. In many instances Mr. Keilly has been held in close comparison to the late lamented J. K. Emmett. and is said to wear the honor with credit; his ' sweet singing, mannerisms, never fail to win for him a warm place in the hearts of his audience.

Ha la Bail TcM la tha Clrca.lt Caart mm ta aaava Caorga. The trial of Albert Reynolds, of Port Byron, for having too many wives was commenced in the circuit court yesterday afternoon. Rey nolds was first married to a Mrs. Courtney in 1885. and lived with her nntil 1887, when she became insane and was ordered committed to Jack sonville, where ehe is at present. Albert remained in single harness until last year. Although warned, it is understood, by persons more familiar with the severity of the law, he thought there would be no harm in marrying again. Mrs. Minnie Barden, of Port Byron, was his choice of a better-half, and the two were married by Judge Adams Nov. 3, 1891. The conple lived together bnt a short time when complaint was made against Reynolds for big amy, under whieh charge he was indxtcd by the grand jury of the present term. He heard of the law's interference, and realising the seriousness of the charge, attempted suicide by taking poison. In this he was unsuccessful. ' The jury before whieh the case is being tried is composed of: Louis Cohn, John Oltman, J. H. Brown, J. F. Smith. Phil Dingledine, J. E. Lar kin, John O. Johnson, Gus Linde blad. William Eckerman, Eugene Burns and John Larson. William McEniry appears for the defendant, and State's Attorney Searle repre sents the people. Lord Acquitted. The Lord horse stealing case was given to the jury at 3 o'clock yester day afternoon. A verdict of acquit tal was returned at 10 o'clock this morning. THE POPULAR SHADE. Tba Material Moat Favora For tha Mew Coart Honaa. The fact of the court house build ing committee having met yesterday to consider the invitations from vari ous stone firms to visit different buildings with a view to deciding upon the material for the new Rock Island county court house, has re vived interest in the subject, and many opinions are expressed as to the kind of material that should be employed, and as far as The Argus has learned through casual inquiry there is a large preponderance of sentiment favorable to a dark mater ial, such as Portage red sandstone. This has been the feeling from the tirst, and it is supported by logic, too. Reason for Sueh a Sentlmeat. Many substantial reasons are given for this preference, as have hereto fore been noted in Thr Argus, the chief of which is that" the dark shade will maintain its appearance better than a lighter hue, and the location of the building, and built as it will be, for years to come it will be less apt to show the effects either of the weather or t the smoke, and then, too, the red color is sustained by many on the pure question of preference based on modern ideas, as many public build ings are being erected of this mater ial now throughout the country.

Augustana Cbllege Deals One to Sports. ESPECIALLY TEAT OF FOOT BALL. Agalast ParaUtUoc Ceatesta, mmm ths VasaltT Am. proas mt tha PaalUoa mm Alt faasss A ay atwn la tha latctcst mt Sports. Augustana college and the theo logical seminary has dealt college sports a body blow, especially that of foot ball. The subject is one, as is known, which has been agitating the institution for some time, espe cially aa it pertains to foot ball, and last fall a committee was appointed composed of members of the faculty and representatives of the students, to take the matter un der consideration, in all its phases, to look into it thoroughly through correspondence, aid otherwise, with other educational institutions, and report. Yesterday the committee made its report to the faculty. It made two recommendations. First, that no further foot ball con tests in which students of the col lege participate be allowed; second, that a committee composed of three members of the faculty and three students be delegated to take into consideration thoroughly the subject of college sports, and make provision for such kinds as might be advisa ble. tot Dowa as All Sports. The faculty approved of the first recommendation of the committee abolishing foot ball, but discounte nanced any move whatever having a tendency to encouraging sport; that is, it sat down effectually on sports of any kind. This action will dis pose of college contests of all kinds hereafter, so far as Augustana is concerned, the action of the facul ty is the talk of the hour at the col lege, and while there are many of the students who fully uphold the stand taken, there are others who consider it unnecessarily severe. A CoaBBaeneeaaeBt Deport are. The senior class at Augustana held a meeting yesterday and decided to secure a speaker outside of the col lege to address the class on graduation day. Heretofore it has been the custom for the . class to choose its orator from among its students, and the departure this year is one wmcn meets witn tbe com' mendation of the faculty, for it voices an aim to nave the last im pression made upon the minds of those who are closing an important period in their lives, one that will be of such a nature as to be a fitting climax for the instruction they have received throughout their college years, and in advance of the work which they have had in hand.
