Another horse got out of Frick's livery stable last night and made for Spencer square, bat did not do as great damage as on the former occasion. It begins to look as if this species of the quadruped family had special a gradge against our square. The work of putting in the return wire for the telephone service was commenced this morning. . It will be an overhead wire, as the hello folks don t care about owning the earth any longer as a ground conductor since the electric railway has claimed part of it.

Vfoulton formerly connected with the management of the Harper house of this aty. He was 57 years of age and had only been sick a few days, the immediate oause of his death being typhoid fever. He was possessed of a happy disposition and had hosts of friends among the travel ing public. Manager Xouderback, in accordance with the original intention of the com pany, has given orders that hereafter no advertisements of any kind be permitted on the outside of cars except on the dash boards. . This is a good idea as signs or streamers mar the appearance of the cars and the latter while furled by the breeze which the speeding car creates, frighten dorses and endanger accidents in conse juence. D. H. Louderback, managing director of the Davenport & Rock Island, and Sock Island & Milan railway companies. eft for Chicago last evening.

The appear ance of the work would have been better had there been some observance of uni formity. It is not too late yet, however, for Mr. L'oyd to alter his work in the right hand track. Moline should be proud of its Light 'ruard band, which gave the third of the teris of merchants' free band concerts in Spencer square last evening. The enter 'ainment was the most brilliant that has been given thus far, there being not only a large attendance of Rock Island people but many from Davenport and Moline. During the concert the square was beau tifully illuminated with colored lights from the centre of the square and from the top of Frick's livery stable building on the opposite side of the street. The fourth concert will be given next Tuesday eve tiing. What of th- Kent?

Remarks "Made by "Long" Jonei and Senator Mathews A Business Meeting with Little Speaking and Ko Resolu tions Some Kews from the Districts Preferences as to the Candidate for President Next Year Blaine a Prime Favorite No One but Fifer Spoken of for Governor of Illinois. Chicago, July 29. Yesterday the Re publican editors of Illinois met to the number of more than 100 and organized for the coming campaign. The " meeting was called to order at the Grand Pacific hotel In the ladies' parlor by Senator Mil ton W. Mathews, editor of the Urbana Herald. Besides the editors there were present a number of the prominent Re publican leaders of the state, among them Attorney General Hunt, Secretary of State Pearson; George Prince, of Knox county; General McNulta: John R. Tanner; Sen ator Charles Fuller, of Belvidere; A. H. Jones, of Robinson; Dan Berry, of Car roll, and General J. S. Martin, of Salem. Welcomed by "Long" Jones. Editor C. G. McXichols, of Momence, was elected secretary, and 'Long" Jones formally welcomed the editors to Chicago. In a few well chosen words he stated the objects for which they had been summoned to the meeting on the call of the executive committee. The political atmosphere had been exceedingly hazy of late, and the most strenuous efforts to resuscitate He publican principles would have to be made if any substantial points were to be reached in the coming campaign of 1892. That was a year and more ahead, but it was none too early to get together the men whose pens wielded intelligently could be such great benefit for the Repub lican party. Chairman Matliem' Remarks. Chairman Mathews then spoke, his re marks being loudly applauded. He laid especial stress on the good that can be wrought to the Republican cause through the united efforts of Republican editors and especially country editors. The great Republican metropolitan dailies, it was true, stretched out their arms over wide reaches of territory, but the country sheet would reach where the great daily would never penetrate, and lay nearest after all to the heart of the people. Dem ocratic principles and Democratic aggres siveness were a growing menace to the state. The Democratic population o the great city of Chicago was a constant men ace to law and order. The Country Editors Needed. Ha had noticed in his Democratic ex changes a perfect flood of tree trade lec tures; but Republican sheets were unpro vided with arguments to repel tbese seri ous fallacies. They emanated from some organization which was alive to the neces sity of obtaining the aid of Democratic country editors. The Republicans had never called on the Republican editors until now, because, perhaps.- they had never felt their necessity, iluch laugh ter. Thaae should lie an organization to furnish articles to the country press on all subjects of national importance the tariff and the silver question. The Organization Effected. A committee on organization was ap pointed and reported in favor of namiug the body the Republican Kditorial asso ciation of Illinois, with officers as follows: Milton W. Mathews, Urbana, president; vice presidents, J. B. Brown, Galena Ga zette; YV. L. Jones, Ielwinon Herald- Rob ert M. Woods, Joliet Sun; secretai-y. Charles S. McXichols, Momence. The following executive committee was ap pointed: Colonel E. A. Calkins, Joseph Ceremack, T. C. MacMillan, Robert W. Patterson, Chicago; J. H. Hadder, Auro ra; Smith D. Atkins Freeport; B. f Shaw, Dixon; John R. Marshall, York vllle; Charles Holt, Kankakee; Marsh Hanna, Peoria; W. H. Eastman, Moline; George M. Turner, Pittsfield; S. W. Nich olson, Jacksonville; H. D. Peters, Monti- cello; M. W. Mathews, Urbana: Walter Collier, Albion: A. G. David, Carlinviile; H. J. Schmidt, Nashville; R. F. Lawson, Kimmundy; B. F. Copeland, Marion. Mnst Be Republican Editors. Theodore Gestefield and John A. Evan- der, of Chicago, and B. B. Turner, of Springfield, were named as members-at- large, and then the committee was ordered to meet on Aug. 13 for a consultation with the central committee. It was decided that only a Republican, who edits a Republican paper, shall be eligible to membership, and all the editors present signed the rolL SOME EDITORIAL OPINIONS. How Illinois Republicans Feel Regarding the Presidency. A reporter took the opportunity during the day to find what the opinion was throughout the state regarding the presi dency, and also as to governor. The fol lowing are specimen views: W. L. Jones, Lebanon Journal Jehu Baker is our favorite for congress. Xo one is spoken of for governor, that I know of, except 1 lfer. e think Harrison has made a good president, but Blaine is the strongest with us, if he is in the field. We expect no contest between them, however." Blaine Decldely the Choice. J. S. Wilroughby, Belleville Advocate For congress W. A. Haskell is probably ahead, if he wants it, which he probably does not. Nobody -is mentioned for gov ernor except Fifer, and the district will probably be for him. For the presidency there is a desire to compliment Cullom, out dame is uecmeaiy tbe choice. Charles Holt, Kankakee . Gazette I am in favor of the best men who have the requisite strength to wipe out the Demo crats. If Blaine is in good health he will carry the country and I think he will be nominated. Harrison Ahead in This Caae. G. M. Tat ham, Greenville Advocate- There has not a word been said about con gressman or governor. For president, Harrison is eur choice, but Blaine is very close behind him. W. H. Hainlinx, Macomb Journal- Charles Deere, of Rock Island, is probably ahead for congress. We have no complaint to make of Fifer, but have no choice for governor because we are working for New ton Pearson's re-election as secretary of state. For president, the Blaine people make the greatest noise, bat tbe Harrison peopls are tbe most numerous. The majority of the editors appeared well satisfied with Harrison, bnt favored Blaine as first choice. Cullom was snokan of as a possibility by a few. FRANK t. FRAYNE'S CRIME.

They had been fighting for nearly an hour, but neither was much hurt. A Split in the AHiance.
