The line of contrast was drawn as distinctly In the middle of the front door as it could have been, while conspicuously displayed was this explanatory pla card: "TVs House Is Divided. Many inquiries were made as to whose residence it was that presented such a unique sentiment in connec tion with tbe celebration, and whether or not there was anv serious discord within resulting from the elec tion. As far as the latter soirees tion is concerned, Tub Argcs is hap. puy prepared to oner tne grateful assurance that politics does not dis turb tne domestic tranquility of the home, notwithstanding that the dif ference in conviction as to the mone tary relations of gold and silver Is as sharply drawn as anywhere.

Three young men who had bea handling intoxicants rather indie cretely, took in the performance at tiarptr s theatre last evening. They occupied the upper box on the west side oi the bouse, and evident! tiring of witnessing so many per formances of the same kind at one time, they turned their attention to the audience, which they proceeded to entertain in their own peculiar way. The consequence was that during pathetic scenes in the play there wouia oe Dursts o( laughter and giggling, which proved very annov mg to the people on the stage and the auditors as well. Finally Officer acnaao was caned, and after taking in tne movements oi the youns fel lows in the box, asked one of them. who seemed responsible for the side show, to leave the bouse. The officer walked into the box, the whole audience being witnesses to the voung man's humiliating position The fellow who was removed had been throwing kisses to the women folk m the house. He was taken back otto the stage oj me ouicer, wnom he implored not to eject mm. promising to act a gen tleman if released. And be was let go. Such performances as these are carried on more or less in every theatre, and if a few more of la-t night a lessons are taught it may be stopped in Kock Island, an bow. Cbijautkimua Ezblb't. The third annual chrysanthemum and floral exhibit of the City Florists' ciud is to oe held this week at the Turner Gratd opera house, Daven port, ted it promises to be the event of the week, the month and the win ter. The exhibit will begin Tuesday and will continue every day and evening up to and including Fridav evening. Words failed in attempting to ade quately describe the exhibit of last year, which was so far ahead of the exhibit of the first vears as to be be yond comparison. This year there is promise ot an exhibit of such extent and ouaiitv that it will be far ahead of the exhibit of laf-t year as that was ahead of that of the year previous. I bat would seem to be impossible, but there is do doubt but that it will be accom plished, for the florists have not hes itated at any trouble or expense in their preparations, and they will get together sucn an exhibit as would be the envy ot the promoters of the Chicago show if they should see it.

Oaly TawMkls) Carrie, fcf Deaeeerate Pre. MutMlpM Bepedlettaa. Out of the results of the election in Rock Island county democrats may gala some source of satisfaction in stamping the inconsistency of the claims of repudiation which have Deen laid to the door oi tne party in the late campaign. .For while in the presidential contest this was made a purely one sided issue, in kock island count tne question oi public honor was submitted, and the people asked to declare whether they would sustain or repudiate the coun ty's obligations incurred with their consent twoC tears ago. While, as has been said before, the county's honor was saved through nock isl and's vote, there were as many demo crats voted tor the proposition here as republicans, in the countj at large the vote is the greatest against the proposition where the republicans are the atrongest, while the only township in the county that went democratic, that ot proud Coal Val ley, pronounced emphatically against repudiation. It may be a good thing for the re publicans to protect their honor at home befoie going abroad in the land. and talking abjut national repudia tion. MAKE A FIVE-MILE MARCH. Republican, stir I'p tbe Towa Saturday Night. Saturday night's republican ratifi cation proved the noisiest demon stration in the history of the three cities, unless it was that of the night following the final adoption ot the Hennepin canal bill, and that, too, was much more impromptu. How ever, the political racket of Saturday night served all intents and pur poses. As a species of pandemonium it was a success. Preceded by the clamor of bells and the shrieking of whistles, which began as early as 6 o'clock in the afternoon and contin uing in fact until 9 at night, a pro cession composed of marching clubs, the Tri-City' bind and Bleuer'a ban 1. and floits containing all manner of exasperating, noise-producing instru ment marched over five mile of streets. The conglomeration ot dis turbances w.is no respecter of per- sjns. it simply was out lor a time, and it had it. It was a success in all that it was designed to be, and the public is glad that it is over. Wednesdav night Davenport will celebrate and Kock Island will go over and help ber out. Mouoe was conspicuous for its limited represen tation here eiatnrday night nut Dav enport was on hand'in all r (,'lory. Davenport only gets a chanes to whoop it up for a republican once in a quarter of a century. THE OBITUARY RECORD. William Klaner's Krmalna Shipped ta Kerb l.laad for Hartal.
