THE ARGUS, MONDAY. APKIL 29. 1895. SO? CASH WESM STfli j ,ja. jjl A AAAAAiLAAJLi -A- -M- -fc- -A- A. .S Young & MCombs A POINTER. A stove dealer sold a customer of his a nickel plated on cop per tern kettle the other day for $1.25. The customer says: Why. sir. Young & McCombs advertise the same thing at 88c. The stove dealer says: My Dear Sir, my goods are much superior than Young and McCombs, (Because he pays more.) which is far from the troth. The great trouble with Mr. Stove Dealer is. he puts at least two-thirds of all sales on bis books and must add an extra per cent to make up for the extra work and interest on bis accounts. You will note that Mr. Stove Dealer charged the gentleman just 45 per cent more than yon could buy the same of Young & Mc Combs; the identical tea kettle, the same number, size and manufacturer. Well, how is it that a cash house can sell so much cheaper than in a case like the above? It is just this way: Mr. Stove Dealer boys one dozen tea kettles from a local jobber, (who of coure must make a profit.) He possibly will buy two dozen per annum. The Big Store, Young & McCombs, boy a gross direct from the manufacturer every six months, (saving the middle man's profit), and sell them at retail tor apot cash at just what the stove dealer pays the jobber for them. You can see we sell just 12 times more tea kettles per annum than Mr. Stove Dealer. We are not in the business for philanthropic motives, although you might think so at times. Oar motto is to undersell everybody. To do that we must underbuy. If we don't buy cheap, we are victims of another fellow who does. We only refer to the stove dealer to show a lesson how the small most boy in small quantities, and must ask more than the big store that boy direct from the manufacturer and sell for spot cash only. A word to the wise is sufficient. Parasols, Umbrellas and Um- brellettes.

B. Lidders paid a viit to a number of the saloons of Rock Island yesterdar, personally entering eight, and going to tbe door of two others. The ladies bad little to say in most of the saloons, their tonr for the most part being in tbe line of observation. At Mar rin's ther simply saluted the pro prietor. Edward Murrin. with Mrs. Ferguson acting as spokesman. How do you do, Mr. Murrin? To which Mr. Mnrrin politely re sponded. How do you do, ladies." wow you see. Air. Aiurrin." saiu Mrs. Ferguson, "we have found yon running this saloon.'" I have never denied that, ladies," replied Mr. Murrin, whereupon the visitors departed. Plate Vlalted. Naturally the call of the ladies created more or less surprise io the different saloons as they entered by the side doors. 1 he places tney vis ited were T. D. Eagal's. on Second avenue, between Fifteenth and Six teenth street; John Roche's, on Twelfth street, between Fourth and Fifth avennes; John R. Ainsworth's, on rourtn avenue ana riiteeatn street; the Manhattan, on Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street; Hen ry Wiiluis, on Third avenue and Twentieth street; John McMahon's and Herman Schwecke's on Twen tieth street between Third and Fourth avenues; Murrin's, on Fourth avenne and Twenty-first street. They further intended visiting Drost's saloon on Fourth avenne and Twenty-second street, but seeing Mr. Urost sitting outside, conciuaea there was no one inside. They also attempted to enter Appelquisfs sa loon on Seventeenth street and Third avenue, but could not tind the right dojr. Object or the Toor. An Argus reporter visited Mrs. Ferguson this morning to learn the ob lect of their tour. I he lady was at nrst adverse to discussing the matter for the present, and was re luctant about divulging the names of the saloons visited, but gave them. We are really just beginning," she said. "We propose to carry on this crusade until it reaches every saloon in town. We propose to pursue and prosecute them to the law's luuest extent. We are collecting evidence from personal observation, satisfy' ing ourselves of the saloons that keep open on Sunday, and the entire matter is to be presented to the grand jury that meets next, week, and indictments urged against every saloon keeper against whom we pre. sent the proof of his having kept open on Sunday. Asked it it was proposed to con tinue tbe work next Sunday: "That we do not like to say," re. plied Mrs. Ferguson, "as it would be putting the saloons on their guard; but we propose to prosecute every saloon keeper who keeps open on Sunday." Mrs. Ferguson was asked if the move was made in behalf of any or. ganization, and her reply was that it was not; that she had taken the mat ter in hand herself, and with her a? sociates intended to carry it through. BOW IT STARTED. Appearmaoe of a Little) Boy Carry ins; Beer Led to the Crusade. "We were led to make this crusade by a sight which Mrs. Cleiand and myself saw a few Sundays ago when on our way to visit a sick child. It was the appearance of a small boy carrying a bucket of beer from the vicinity of Murrin' saloon. This induced as to file the charges against Mr. Murrin on which he was tried and fined Saturday. Then we made up onr minds to start out and satis' y ourselves as to how many saloons actually were selling liquor on Sun day, and yesterday witnessed our first investigation." Wilt Hvs m Racoant. Con Donivai, who was tbe demo cratic candidate for superviror on the South Rock Island township ticket in the last election, has em ployed William McEniry to secure a recount, it being alleged, as hereto fore alluded to in Turn Abuts, that H. S. Case was not legally reelected. His majority on the face of the re turns was but three, and it is asserted that four more votes were cast than were counted, and it is believed if the investigation is started it will disclose other facts such as will es tablish Mr. Dcnivan's election.

La Yell e received a mes sage from Louisville at 8 o'clock this morning to the effect that bis moth, er, Mrs. Catherine LaYelle was dying and the sad information was fol lowed a few minutes later by the announcement that tbe end had come. I Although not wholly nnprepared for such tidings, as the deceased had been very low for sometime, yet they came with a snocs 10 inose wno. strengthened and encouraged by the uo faltering nope that is a part oi our natnre, had brought themselves to tbe belief that recovery might yet be possible. Mrs. LaVellc had been a sufferer for some years and in the past few weeks bad been very seri- onslv ill. Two months ago she went to Louisvillcd to attend the funeral of a neice, which had closely fol lowed that of a favorite brother. She was taken with pneumonia. hich maladr is prevailing there, and this, complicated with other ills, her condition was alarming from the first. Her sons, T. 1. and J. J. La Velle, were summoned to her bed side live weeks ago, but she rallied considerably and they returned home feeling that she would regain her health sullicient to come back to Rock Island, and Janrcs La Velle had anticipated going south for her next Saturday. Mrs. LaVelle's maiden name was Catherine Flynn. She was born in Westport, Ireland, June 21, 1849. where she resided until she was 3 years of age, when her parents re moved to isolton, cngiand, which was their home until she was 13, when the family came to this coun try, settling at Louisville, Ky. She was married tnere in lSb.i to James La Velle, and six years later they re moved to Rock Island county, stop ping first at Moline and afterward settling at Port Byron, where Mr. Laelle died in ls(i. Later Mrs. La Velle moved with her sons to Rock Island, which has been the family borne since. She was the mother of three chil dren: Nellie, now dead, and Thomas F.. of the firm of Sommers & La Velle, and James J., money order and reg istry clerk at the Reck Island post- ollioe. She was the truest and highest ex emplification of God's noblest work. ltu faith in her church and devo tion to her home, her children found in her the ideal in forming their lives, and in such a loss, sympathy deep and sincere though it may be, cannot -console. Messrs. T. F. and J. J. La Velle left this afternoon for Louisville, where the interment will be made. McC'onocble. James McConochie, a stonecutter, and a brother of the ex-mayor, Wil liam McConochie. died this morning at 11 o'clock at tbe residence of his brother, 2513 Seventh, avenue, after an illness of sixth months with heart trouble, aggravated by the unfortu nate condition of bis wife who is at present an inmate of the hospital for tne insane at Jacksonjrlle. He was a Scotchman by birth, coming to the United Stated in 1853. He was in the 45th year of his age. leaving two children, James, 17, and Nettie, 13 years old. to mourn his loss. The funeral will be from tbe residence of bis brother, William, Wednesday at 2 p. m., under the auspices of camp. No. 1515, Modern Woodmen, of which he was a member.

Jacob Kail Attempts the Life of Marshall Lucas. SHOOTS TWICE WITHOUT EFFECT. paraeal by alias Amelia Behrana, He Keek to Daatroy tbe Maa Whs Meats Oar Faroe Last Xlg-Bt-Beaaa Over Police Feints. Jacob Kail was brought before Magistrate Schroeder this morning charged with attempting to commit murder. He waived examination and was bound over to the circuit court in bond of $500. Rail made two unsuccessful attempts to take the life of Marshall Lucas, about 11 o'clock last night, firing two shots at him from a 32-caIihre revol ver. Lucas was returning home after calling upon Miss Amelia Behrens, a yonng lady residing at 1416 seventh Avenue, and had proceeded but a block west on Seventh avenue when his attention was attracted by a lond report as from a revolver, followed in quick succession oy another. Hearing the bullets strike the fence alongside of him he became some what alarmed at bis unpleasant po sition, but as no one was in sight be could not realize who his would-be assassin was, and started to walk for a neighboring house. Looking across the street he observed Kail passing beneath an electric light in an uncon cerned manner. As Kail, who is a re jected suitor of Miss Behrens, bad displayed suspicious actions before, as if shadowing him while in com- nanv with the vounsr lad v. Lucas immediately apprehended bis pur r. 1 suer. Lucas reported the affair at police headquarters, and Deputy Kramer and Officer Carnes went in pursuit of his assailant, who was located at his home, 617 Seventeenth street. He ap peared very cool, and while not deny ing that he did tbe shooting, told the otticers his intentions were merely to give Lucas a good scare. When asked for the weapon. Kail led the officers around in the alfev where. hidden beneath a board, was found the revolver. Kail was then taken to headquarters. Prompted by Jealousy. The murderous attack of Kail is undoubtedly due to an uncontrolla ble fit of jealousy. He sought tbe companionship of Miss Behrens a couple of years ago. She bad no ob jections to his friendship, but had no desire to keep company with bim He became persistent and she finally rejected him. ihts did not seem to cool the admiration which he enter tained for the young lady, and when ever be would meet ber in company with a gentleman friend his signs of jealousy and confusion were plainly apparent. Last December Miss Behrens na threatened by him while walking with Mr. Lucas, who warned Kail against a repetition of such action. This evidently worked on his sensi tiveness to such an extent that his jealousy of Lucas became desperate, and being unable to further control himself sought to destroy the man who went between him and 'the voung lady. Both Lucas and Kail are employed by Henry Dart's Sons, one as a team ster and tbe other as porter. Kail is a middle-aged man of good habits and a quiet disposition, and his act of last evening has caused no end of surprise to his friends. follee Points- Frank Ziegler was fined $3 and costs this morning for a boisterous Sunday jag. Willliam Barker, the "red hot' peddler, was arrested this morning oy Officer Etzel for burglarizing the barber abnp and tamaia manufac tory on Twentieth street, run by colored man, last night.
