6 TELE AIIGUS. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1891. THINGS POLITICAL. Talk of the Municipal Election Already Heard. A Ktpablltaa OAf e Hol4laS CtakUi Mm nklfk tiefles tke rarty Tke OatU.k. As each successive day draws nearer the time for the conventions which are to nominate candidates for city offlaes, the discussion becomes more animated as to possible and probable nominees. Thus far the republican side has commanded most of the attention, owing to the com bination which has been formed by May, or McConochie, City Clerk Kaehler and City Attorney Ilaaa to defeat the inde pendent movement led by Aid Sohroeder. The fight is an interesting one, as it is the fiercest in the Sixth ward, where the mayor and Aid. Sihroeder reside and the . friends of both claim the party majority in the ward. All over the city republicans had looked for a change at the city building this spring and many who had for years fond ly nourished the ambition to receive the nomination biennially accorded to Koeh!er are to be disappointed if the combination wins as a'so are those aspiring legal lum inares who talked their throats hoarse last fall for Gest in order to have their valor recognized in the nomination for city at torney this spring. The encouragement they received wit the fall of Haas as a a campaign manager has been cruelly shattered by the McConochie-Koehler-Ilaas combination. It was supposed that after Mr. Haas' lamentable failure last fall that he was out of politics, and he frankly confessed that he was through with politics. But since those sorrowful Uvs, Mr. Haas has experienced a wonder ful change of front. The major has been exerting his cunning tactics over him and has won him to his standard. The mayor wa9 shrewd enough to know that wi.h Mr. Sjhoetbr as a candidate for the nomination something must be done to split the German vote and be thereror conceived the idea of getting Koehler and Haas into league wiUi him. He had no difficulty whatever in bringing Eoehler around of course and he soon persuaded Haas. thn9 leaving Schoeder against the field, and this is the situation today. So far democrats have given themselves no uneasiness as to nominations, being fully satisfied that when the time comes, Ihe parly in its present solidifisd condi tion will have no trouble in putting to flight which ever faction of the party now in control of municipal affairs shall win In the convention. The democracy has abundance of excellent material, however. Messrs. John Ohlweiler, Fred Eass, Gus tav Stengel, Daniel Cor ken, J. M. Buford and J. W. Welch, having been frequently mentioned as available candidates. For attorney Wm. McEoiry and John Inoney are spoken of and for clerk Geo. W. Henry and T. J. MsdiU. Jr. As to co'.lector the members of neither party have expressed themselves. A. H. Hampton has already announced hinmlf as a candidate, but that does not bother other republican ass pirants who are willing that be should have the field until the time comes, when there will be no trouble in knocking him out of the nomination. The Latent Fa1. Progressive ghost parties are the latest society fad, and it is played something like this: You invite a party of friends to your house, both ladieB aad gentlemen. The guests change partners for supper by the matching of fine? paper caps. Af ter supper the gentlemen are invited up stairs to await developments. When they are again called to the parlors, a treat surprise is in store fur them, for during their absence the ladies have donned cambric masques and sheets, and and look more like ghosts than the fair iadies who had just partaken of supper with them. Each lady is labeled with a number, and beside each lady is a vacant chair, which is to be occupied by a gen tleman, who is allowed a two minutes' conversation with his ghost-like partner, and in that two minutes conversation te is to make a guess as to who bis partner is, and write her name and number on a slip of paper, and then he is to move on to the next lady until the circle of the room is completed. The gentlemen who guesses the largest number of names cor rectly is awarded the head prize, while the gentleman who guesses the least num ber gets the foot prize. This kind of a performance creates no end of merriment and if the ladies are careful in the r dis guises and change their voices, they can't be recognized by their own husbands. Kailroad nienap.

A DANDY COPPER. ttath r ti;ave Arfsttaignit f.arera inz oae of Mayor JHrl'saeehie'M Finest A Cane far luveotis&tion. RockIslakd, Feb. 2(5 Editor Ahgus Yesterday afternoon in one of the sa loons of the city, Wm. Glass, the police man, while slightly under the influence c f tangle-foot got into a controversy with a boy about 15 years of age and wanted to bet the young man $5 that he had a son that could whip him, and telling the young man that he need not be afraid tf being arrested, as he would see that it was all right, and if he was arrested would pay bis fine. The young man had the sand, however, to tell the drunken policeman that he could whip him or his boy, and from these words both came together, the boy getting the best of the policeman and taking bis club away from him. Last evening he was in another saloon offering to back his dog against any other man's dog in the city of Rock Island. What a model policeman this man Glass is! And bow many more like him has the mayor of Rock Island on his list waiting for positions? This man was recommended by Aid. Kennedy and I think the people would like to see a few more peace disturbers like this one wear ing brass buttons. J. Camp. Wonder if the mayor will show the same eagerness in investigating the above charges that he has in other cases con cerning policemen where there was a stronger disposition on hiB part to in quire? The riltr. At the meeting of the board of direc tors of the Brotherhood of the Upper Mississippi River Pilots held at Le CI a ire recently, the minutes of the annual meet ing held in Clinton Dec 2,3, 4 and 5. were read and approved, and tbe secre tary instructed to have said proceecdings printed, and a copy mailed to each mem ber in good standing. The secretary and treasurer's report 6bowed caBh on hand in the beneficiary fund 1432 50, and in the general fund, $575 25. There are 182 members in good standing, and 121 members were present at the meeting. Communications were received from steamboat owners in regard to laying up Sunday. Of the sixteen letters received and read, eight were for and eight against. The officers are : President Capt. L. A Day, of Le Claire. Vice president Capt E. J. Chacey, of Hillsborough, 111. Secretary and Treasurer Capt D. C. Law, Lyons. A Special Meet inc. The board of education held a special meeting at the residence of Capt. C. W. Durham last eveninp, President Barth presiding. Wm. Jackson was present also as special consel for the board. The matter of settlement with the sub-con tractors under Ritchie & De Gaar for tbe erection of building No. 2, was discussed and it was decided to allow the amount of the various claims $1412.05, if agree able to Ritchie and De Giar. The board was advised to take this step, although the building has not been accepted by Architect Ross. Ah ! in this pain-stricken world, why will men forget that they are brethren, and see one of these little ones suffer with rheumatism, when twentyfive cents will buy a bottle of Salvation Oil. GOING FOR COOP. Col. J. M. WhiUemore'a Leave of Absence. Wheat tke lfeeat ('aaai.ai 1 at TaV-a Urpartare Praam R wk lM'auaV Ajfieaal it will In r.naaat. Col. J M. Whittemor's leave of ab sence from Rick Island arsenal, granted by the war depaitm;nt, as heretofore chronicled in The Argus, will not be of a temporary nature. Col. Whittercore's leave from lbs army is for a year, but he had to completely reti;n his com mind at Rock Island arseual before hU ap plication or leave from the army was granted by the ordnance department. In view of tbe fact that Col W hittemcTe's vac io n contemplates a year's absence it is gratifying to know that this requirement has been made, as the interests end importance of a post like Rock Island arsenal require the constant attention and presence f a commandant in tbe execution of a settled policy. Tbe absence of Col. Whitte more, there fo-e, will not work a detriment to the arsenal such as it would if aa offi cer were only in command temporarily and without tbe pi Me in the work that a permanent commandant has. Who will be Col. Whittcmore's successor is un known, but there is no doubt that Gsn. Flagler will m e to it that his old post is well provided for. iUj Bha!er and Maj. McKee, both formei officers at Rock Isl and arsenal, are each spoken of as l.kely to receive the appointment. IOUTY BllLDIXU.

'91) remain open. We have shown good faith in giving tbe movement a fair lest, rem aininc closed while others slyly worked it trade and we cannot be blamed for its failure. London Clothtns Co. 1 The taxes ft ax Mvtiee. t 1890 are now due and pa j able to tbe township collector at the County Treae urer's office in the court house. Ownt rs of real estate are re- que6ted to brin ceipts in order description of books. g their last year's tax re to save time in finding the their property on the David Fitzgerald. Township Collector. It is a plain fact that twenty-five per cent, of tne deaths in our larger cities are caused by cotisumption; and when we reflect that this terriole d.sease in its earlier stages w ill readily yield to a bottle of Dr. Bull's Coueh Syrup (costing twenty-five cents,) shall we condemn the suf ferers for their negligence, or pity them for their ignorance? No wonder policemen are eood fighters; they are able tc stand np after a : good many rounds. THE INDUSTRIAL FAIR. Iat Kvralac'a Bateiialaloc Ph-graiaaBC-Vatar Iatrt a V- The largest crowd that has assembled any night so far during tbe fair was pres ent last night and enjoyed the musical selections given by D. Roy Bowlby which included a particularly fine coro t solo-and the exhibition given by the RtX k Island Athletic club. This opened with horizontal bar work by Lancaster, U 1 meyer and Russ, followed by a three rouud glove contest by Prof. Hass ar.d M. C. Moore, of Davenport, after which Yicks rum brothers and Webber did their brother act and were followed by Late Lancaster in his exhibition of clai swinging, after which tbe performance was closed by Lancaster, Utlmeyer and U:ke in their traprz work. The exhibi tion was very interesting throughout aud merited the applause it received. To morrow evening another very interesting feature will take place, D. Roy Bowlby having consented to give another con cert in which some of the best musical talent of the three cities will take part, including Mrs. Smith, the blind soprano, and two of the members of the T. K quartette, of Davenport. Tne fair will close on Siturday evening, anl a ve-y interesting programme will be givt-u each night in the meantime.
