The linti Ended.
The existing difficulties between the
mine owners and miners in the upper end
of the county, which have prevented op
erations for over a month, have finally
been adjusid, as all will be glad to
know. The nioe owners have made
propositions to the colliers which seemed
fair to all concerned, and were accepted
Muli-s have been introduced to do the
hauling in the mines, which, while les
sen ing the duties of the miners, saves the
owners forty cents per hundred bushels.
A Family Feed.
A family feud in the eastern part of the
city, resulted in a trial before Justice
Hawes this morning. The defendants
are Mrs. Fannie Uurneston, Miss Nel
lie Burneston and Fred Buineston,
and the plaintiffs Mrs. Elizabeth
Atkinson and George Atkinson.
Mrs. Atkinson is a mother to Mrs. Burne
stun, and she accuses the defendant of
using abusive and prof ane language. The
ciise has occupied the entire day in Jus
tice Hawes' court. Messrs. Beardsley and
and Kenworthy appear for the defense
and States Attorney Entriken for the
prosecution.
The Short Hair Crate -
Tne craze among the ladies for wearing
the hair short is becoming general, and
is spreading the countiy oyer. It is
already becoming very populer among
other places, in Rochester, N. Y., where
the most stylish young ladies are parting
with their raven and golden tresses.
There was a time when it was considered
somewhat "fast" for a lady to wear her
hair short, but since Miss Cleveland, the
president's sister, the present mistress of
the white house, and by common courte
sy the "first ladv ia the land," wears hei
locks shorn quite short, and advocates
the custom on the grounds of comfort,
convenience and health, it has become
fashionable, and no doubt the Rock Isl
and belles will soon tackle her favorite
tonsorial artists, and sit and wi'it in pa
tience for his genial "Next!"'

Hellhofllte is a new liquid explosive of
the dynamite sort.
If there is one resort in a city where the
various thoughts and opinions of various
men can be gathered in a very short
space of time, it is a barher shop. Some
times a man is in the shop only a few
minutes, but In the majority of cases he
becomes quite familiar with the surround
ings before the "next" comes, which
means he. A barber is usually a great
man to talk. He hears a great deal and
he has no hesitancy in giving to the world,
or that portion of it unfortunate enough
to be an audience to his endless gab, the
benefit of what he knows and what he
don't know.
"People will have their little jokes, you
know, and it is not for me to discourage
'em," said an up town tonsorial artist this
morning. "No, sirree. I have always
noticed that when a man gets oS a joke
that makes somebody laugh, or lie gets a
'sell' on some fellow, it makes him quite
happy, no matter how glum he was be
fore. His joke may be a chestnut of the
most ancient character, but that makes
no difference with me I always laugh
I can afford to, because I have further ob
served that when a man thinks he's smart
and cute and feels comfortable generally
he is always quite liberal to himself,
That's what we want in the shop, and I
always raise a laugh on the slightest
provocation. Business is business, you
know, and I don't believe in permitting
the lawyers, preachers and prize fighters
to be the only men in the world to make
their living with their mouths. 'Barber,'
says a customer of mine the other day, 'do
vou know wbv you remind me of the
barbers of the seventeenth century?'
No,' says I.
Well," says he, 'it's because you're
both a shaver and a blood letter.'
Then, of course, I laughed. And then
he did what no really smart man will do
especially when sitting in a barber's
chair he laughed at his own joke. The
result was that my razor slipped and
gashed him one in the check, and the blood
dr'zzled into his mouth and down on bis
cravat and his shirt front and vest. Of
course, I wiped him off the best I could
and then remarked, as innocently as
knew bo.?:
Funny, that little joke of yours.'
Yes,' says he, 'rather funny, bb-but
not any too darned funny."
By the way, there is a new fake in
town. A barher shop is a great place to
catch onto new things. If a man gets a
new wife, a new baby, a new hat, new
boots, a new boil on his neck, a new joke
or a new ism, we are pretty sure to hear
of it almost as quick as anybody. This
new fake I speak of takes two men to
work. Tbey go into a barber shop, or a
saloon, or a restaurant, but tbey don'
appear to notice one another or be ac
quainted at all. One of them pays his bill
and then disputes about his chunge. ne
declares he handed you a $2 bill, when it
was only $1. Wuile you are dis
puting about it the other one comes up
and is surprised to meet his pal. The
newcomer affects an 'r of dignity and in
difference, you know, and says be knows
nothing about the merits of the bill, but
he does know the man baa known Dim
for years and, ef course, certifies to his
good character. Tbey tried the game on
me one evening last week. 'He must
have been right,' says the confederate,
'for he is a veiy careful man. I have
known him for ten years, and he is as
honest as the dav is long.' 'That's all
right, my friend,' says I, 'but it is consid
erably after dark now . Both of you had
better hurry home or you may get caught
out by a storm or a policeman-'
"That was eood advice, wasn't itf I
always believe in giving a man good ad
vice, even if I don't give him anything
else. 'I notice that is about the way with
most men. The other day one of my old
customers was in here and was feel in
pretty badly broken up. He had failed
in business, and his pSa'-a had gone to
the bad generally.
" 'Barber,' says he, and be was a yonng
man, too, 'I can see nothing bright in
life. I am utterly discouraged. I believe
I will go into the country and find a mas-.
culine nunnery into which I may get my
self.'
"Don't ,do anything of the sort, my
boy,' says I. 'Get thee to some country
saw m!H, where you can get two dollars
a day and board, and a chance to marry
the boss' daughter." '
' 'But say, travel in this country is get
ting down mighty powerful swift. Yesi
terday morning a man, one of these com'
mercial tourists, came in hear and says,
'Saturday night I was shaved in New
York city, and today I am going through
the same operation in the city of Rock
Island." '
"What!' says I, 'last Saturday night in
New York city and here this morning
guess you'll be shaved in San Francisco
tomorrow, says I, just like that, and then
he laughed, and everybody in the shop
laughed. I've got to do something to
make the shop entertaining, and indulging
in a joke once in a while ain't going to do
anybody any harm."
"There was another funny man in here
the other day, and a man I don't want
ever to shave again. No, sir. He is not
healthy man, and besides that he drir.k
bad whisky aud beer, and eats limburger
cheese and garlic, and you can imagine
that bis breath is not pleasant. He began
to talk of John L. Sullivan. ' 'Sullivan
may be a great slugger,' says be, but
knocked him out once. Don't yon believe
'"Certainly,' says I.
" 'Well, its a fact; I knocked him out
It was a long struggle, and Sullivan stood
up before me for thirteen rounds, but in
the fourteenth he went down. I was be
hind the bar and he in front of it, and
When he went down I had my hands up
preparing his' drink for the next round.
Catch on?
''Certainly,' says I, 'and I believe
every word of it. I don't believe there's a
man living that could stand befoie you
ten minutes, unless he knocked the breath
out of you early in the fight. I begin to
feel a little faint myself,' and then every
body laughed again, and the pugilist went
out the back door.
But the baroer shouted "next" again,
and the reporter after cheerfully resigning
the chair and the continuance of the story
the next customer, hurried out in
search of a breath of fresh air.

In the United States there are 793,399
freight cars, of which 20 per cent arc al
ready supplied w.th vacuum automatic
brakes. The average yearly building, or
increase, rather, of such cars is 60,000.
The New Eugland states have 92,000 of
these cars, New York 92,000, and Penn
sylvaoia 205.000J Practically all passen
ger cars are so fitted. Their number is
17,993, with an annual increase of 1.100.
Some of the eastern trunk lines have
adopted automatic brakes on freight cars.
The Pennsylvania railroad has a number
of stock cars so rigged, and is having all
such cars so fitted. Modern railroading
demands it. In Europe and America
there are 13,023 engines and 80,802 cars
equipped. In this country these appli
ances are in general use on all roads, and
that brings up the question, bow many
railroads are there in the United States?
There are 1.700 roads, having a total
mileage of 125.151 miles, 90,000 being
laid with steel rails.

After the Amazonian drill Saturday
night across the river, a yonng Daven
port man and a Moline youth invited two
of the fairies to take a ride. A carriage
was procured and the quartette was driv
en to Black Hawk's tower. Wuen a lonely
spot was reached the young men threat
ened to eject the women from the cons
veyance and told them they would have
to walk back to Davenport. One of th
young ladies jumped out with much de
termination, whipped out a revolver from
bcr pocket, presented it to the faces of
the young men and told them to get out
of the hack. They got. She held the
weapon under the nose of the driver and
told him to start immediately to Daven
port. He obeyed without further solid
tion. The vanquished young men plead
for mercy, represented they were simply
joking, but their suplications were i
vain. The driver was given to understand
in plain language that unless he drove
directly to Davenport his head would
come off. This warning was sufficient
He whipped his champing steeds and
dashed awav. leaving the voung men
c.-ouning around ia the woods in the sol
itude of the midnight hour. The youn
women went to tber hotel and retired,
and about the dawj of day the disap

Andalusia, Sept. 28, 1885.
Editor Akuub. We have been away.
The old I-slan der mill has been busy in
the interval . It is venomous on Uncle
Sammy Goode. The reason is uncle Sam
my has been independent. He thought
justly when ho came to America, he by
complying with the law regulating citi
zenship, that be became rightfully a free,
independent American citizen. He exs
ercised bis new birthright manfully and
honestly. He did not think that in choos
ing the democratic party that he surren
dered his own individual right of judg
ment to the nictation of such "putrid
reminscences as Danforth. He bad sense
to see without anybody telling him, that
the truth did not have its abode with
Danforth. He manfully chose his course.
We did not try to help or hinder Mm,
for he was too manly to need advice as to
anything so plain. His prepossessions led
him to the democratic party. We did
not put forth a single effort or argument
to inline nee or change him. He was, and
is democratic. We would have preferred
it otherwise, if his indeeudent judgment
bad so impelled him. When we came up
as a candidate for supervisor, we, nut
seeking the honor, simply left it to the
citizens of Andalusia. They, regardless
f party, elected us. We knew we were
elected bv "the people," and were in
duty bound to re esent "the lieople
do we steered our course, selected men for
grand jurors, without any' reference to
anything but citizenship, and qualihca
tion. Some refused to serve, so we were
ihliged to select those who would serve
Wo did not ask their age, did not think
of it. Tnere has never been any sort of
political understanding between ns. Uncle
Sammy steered his course; so did we. If
we harmonized it was in oppoiiton to the
arch copperhead, traitor to every princi
ple of mauly freedom north or south
Danforth. Mr. uoode. as an adopted
citizen, took his part on our national day
for commemorating the virtues of tli
patriots who had fallen in defense of the
only government in the civilized
world that recognized manhood as the
basis of citizenship. When the entire
assembly of good citizens, ot all parties
were villainously deformrd and insulted
by the gratuitous, uncalled for un
thoughtful epithets, of "D m fools"
hirelings of the Tyrant : Lincoln, "and
murderers," Hid they intensely resented
this wanton traitorous depravity. J he sol
diers and their friends were al railed with
charges of idioev, by this, thief who, the
only time he ever had a chance a, the
public crib, filled bis hands so full he
could not set them out, with the swag he
wanted. Commander iselfridge can give
Ihe data to any of D-inforth s small circle
of admirers, omong the theives, sluggers
soreheads, and copperheads, who const1
t ute the ignoble rabble of his followers.
We are not a candidate for any office that
we know of. If we were, we would think
it may be possible the best thlug would
be to hire this thief, and general detain
er of good citizens, to continue his howl
ing. We should never loose heart as
long as D.nforth brought his an
cient harhsric mode of warfare to bear
on us. He has not progressed. The jx-o
pie have. Dan orlh long since ceased to
have any influence with good progressive
citizens. As long as his weak and unpa
triotic following, follows him blindly, he
may try to "warm his shivering limbs,
over the smouldering ashes of defunct is
sues, and personal abuse. He will soon
drop into the "Gulf of Oblivion."
