Negoiations are pending for the lease of the Johnston Hour mill at Milan, for a term of years, and though arrangements have not yet been completed there is a pos sibility, of Mr. Joseph Fitzpatrick the popularstoek man of this city becoming the lessee. The transfer is not by any means a settled fact, and the article in the Union tbis morning, which gives the matter as fully consumated isa little premature, although th:it organ is prone to credit the Aksds with getting hold of things be fore those interested themselves are fully acquainted with the case.

We are receipt of a large and very carefully executed engraving of the new Standard oil company building, 56 Broalway, New York, which is note worthy as the finest business structure on the greatest commercial thoroughfare of this continent. The enormous granite pile, 200 feet deep, aud almost 200 feet in height from foundation stone to pinnacle, is entirely given up to the ex ecutive offices of the company, w hich is entitled to credit for having added so im posing and enduring an example to the great commercial monuments of the metropolis. Intruders. There is a class of country folk. who. when coming into the city on show da, think they have a right to make the hotels their headquarters, notwithstanding tbi-y do not become the guests of the house by registering. They seem to think a hotel a public resort and tltey make themselves perfectly at home in partaking of its con veniences. The Harper and Rock Island bouses have both had experiences with this class of people, and they have now come to a stage when it becomes necessa ry to take steps to prevent intrusion up on regular guests. Thtse people should take a hint. Mr. OIen Denies the Charge. Kdltor of the Arpu . Kock Islasd, Aug 121 see Mr. Ed. Wilcox, through the columns of your paper, has taken the public into his conti dence, and inform it of the direful f t of bis removal from office, and charges me with being instrumental in tbis calam itous destruction of the postal service. While I do not suppose that the public cares one rap whether Ed. Wilcox con tinues to feed at the public crib or not, or whether I had aught to do with the cutting off of the aforesaid feed, still in the interest of truth, permit me to say that his statement as to my connection therewith is simply a foolish surmise without any foundation; in fact, in short, is a simon pure and trulv characteristic Wilcoxianism. Oliver Olseh. Ilos Oays. The dog days are upon us and will con tiuue until the 30th of August. The rising and setting of ' Sirius," or the dug star, with the sun, has been universally regarded as the cause of the excessive heal that prevails generally at this par ticular season. The ancients put great faith in this legend, regarding the period of greatest heat in summer so named, be cause in the latitude of tbc Mediteranean this period nearly corresponds with that in which the dog star rises at the same time with the sun. To tbis juuetion all antiquity, and all the followers of judical astrology, ascribed amalinaut inBucnce. During this interval it is a difficult matter to keep meat, vegetables aud prepared food from spoiling, as many touse wives have, no doubt, experienced to their sor row. The poor dogs, that are made to bear the infamy of tbe source of our dis comfort, and perhaps allied in some man ner to tbe extreme heat of the interval, but they, as well as human beings, share alike tbe afflictions which are at this sea son common. Dogs are today supposed to be be more susceptible to rabies than at any other time, although there is no perceptible difference between the pres ent condition of the sun and what it was before tbe season commenced.

Several of the heavier lumber corpora tions in the Chippewa district have al ready awarded large contracts for putting in logs for next season on the same terms and speculations that were paid contrac tors last year. Owing to the millions of feet of logs that are considered hopeless ly hung up until started by the spiing freshets of 1887. the cut for iho coming winter will be largely curtailed from tbe amount put in last season. The esti mate cut on the Chippewa river and prin cipal feeders is placed at 630.OU0.OOO feet, which will be a shortage of about 200,000,000 feet of the log crop of last winter. Of this amount 325,000,000 feet will be put in bjr the Chippewa Logging company, or log pool, and the remainder by outside logging companies and in dividual loggers. Exclusive of this 60,- 000.000 feet will be cut on the Eau Claire bj Northwestern companies, and over 100,000,000 feet on the Bed Cedar river by Knapp, Stout & Co., who have the ex elusive control of logging operations op that river and tributaries. THE GREAT AND ONLY. P. T. Bamm'a Day in Bark Island Home I'eatnresortke Renawaed Know. At 5:30 this morning the first of three sections of a special train conta ining the combined shows of the world's greatest showman P. T. Barnum and the great London citcus. rolled unto the C, B. & Q. depot from Galesburg. The cars were quickly and systematically unloaded and the two other sections followed as fast as the preceding one had been unloaded. There were fortyight cars in the train, tbe last section being also composed of the Dalace coaches containing the managers and the leading performers of the great show. By 7 o'clock the vast aggrega tion of wonder6 and curiosities, aquatic skill and talent was quartered in tbe mammoth tents in Bailey Davenport's pasture. As a result of the visit of the world's greatest show, it has been a festival day in the city. It is an event to which all Rock Islsnd has looked forward since the announcement in the Argus last spring that Barnum had contracted with the C, B. & Q railroad to transport his shows to this city. As soon as the sun was up this morning country wagons began pouring into the city, bringing the honest tiller of the soil and his industrious wife; the likely lad and blooming lassie; all for the purpose of giving the distinguished visitor a grand ovation. The railroad trains all brought in additional coaches to accom modate the multitude of visitors. A special train of nine coaches came down from Sterling at 10 o'clock, and the ex cursionists were conveyed to tbe ;overnment works tbis morning, and at tended the show this afternoon. Market square presented the appear ance of a fair ground. It bad been taks en possession of by lemonade and peanut booths, and ether venders. The streets were from 8 o'clock a moving mass of humanity. Fakers were out in full force, but they did not get in their work as successfully as is generally the case on show day. The office-seeker improved the opportunity of interviewing his coun try friends and mixing political spices with the sweets of circus day. At 10 o'clock the sidewalks were filled with gazers, aud the windows of all houses on the line of march presented a nobby spectacle of big and little, baid and sbav. brown, iirav and flaxen beads, while the wonderful street paradi filed past to the inspiring strains of three bands. Tbe cage of lions with their tamer anions' them, the open cases of tigers and panthers, the immense herd of elephants, the uncouth camels, the pretty ponies, the old woman in her gilded shoe, Santa Claus with bis team of prancinsiJ deer tbe whole intermingled with the any trappings of the drivers and perform era combined to present a very attractive parade. Tbe tents were pitched ou tbe old base ball grounds, and as soon as the last wagon passed, the crowd began to follow tbe band to tbe scene of the circus. The performance began at 2 p. m., witnessed by over 5,000 people, and was a grand success in all the acts. Tbe overture by Prof. J. S. Robinson's famous banc, was medley of popular airs arranged by the celebrated trombonist, William Marsh and admirably rendered by him in a series of solos with the band accompaniment. Then followed the grand march, led by Nelson Hadlev. the drum major, of Spriugtield. III. Mcution individually of each perform ance cannot be made, for space would not allow sucb an extended notice, al though the company is of such astonish - tig strength and excellence as to make an extended notice not at all out of place Leopold and Wentworlh did a good act in parallel and horizontal bar display, aud tbe feats of balancing of F. Asliton were marvelous. Madam Adelaide Cardona in her equestrienne performances received tbc hearty applause of the audience Mile Z irah's lofty balancing on the trap eze showed a degree of nerve culture sel dom equaled. And the Julians, brother and si3ter, gymnasts and contortionists, elicited the most enthusiastic approba tion. Miss Julian is absolutely without a rival: her act is the personification of rracfc in human action. The celebrated Sylvester sisters are of such superb excel lence that the performances in tbe rings were stopped, so the audience could give the daring somersaults in mid air of these wonderfully talented young ladies their individual attention. This precaution was thankfully rewarded by bursts of ap plause as feat after feat was successfully done. The races closed an exhibition such as Rock Island will never again see, as Barnum has now bidden our city his farewell before going for a long engage ment in Europe and the old world. Tonight this afternoon's performance will be repeated. County Bnildins. TRAN8FKBS. Ausr. 9 John Deere to Ellen S. Web ber, pt lot 3, block 21, old town, Moline John Deere to Jeanette i).

The case of Cutting, the El Paso, Tex as editor, who has just been sentenced at Paso Del Norte, Mexico, to one year's confinement at hard labor and $600 fine, is familiar to all the readers of the Abgus. But a reporter has met a gentleman who has recently been in El Paso, and upon mentioning the Cutting case to him, he said: The fellow didn't get half the punish ment he deserved, and this government will make a sad mistake if any further interference is made with the execution of the sentence. The fact is, Cutting is an unreliable, unscrupulous scamp, eternal ly seeking notoriety for himself in order to feather Ins nest. He is a printer by trade, and has worked along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers for several years past. He was always denounced by the International Typographical union as man devoid of principle, and one who would sell out his best friend if he ever had any to bene fit himself. Since he went to Tex as he has made several unsuccessful at temptsjto draw tbe public's gaze upon himself, but this last movement of his in publishing a vile slander about a high Mexican officer seems to have turned out more disastrous than glorious even for Cutting. His paper was an obscure little Sunday sheet, published in El Paso, and when tbe article in question was published be circulated hundreds of cop ies of tbe paper in Paso Del Norte, just across the Rio Grande, in Mexico, where the official resided. The cry for war with Mexico comes f roin a class of Teems who never did nor never will like a Mexican unless he is dead. They are mostly tbe descendants of the pioneers who fought for the independence of Texas, and before whom, if one should meution tbe battle of San Jacinto, fouubt April 21,1836, it would create more enthus iasm than tbe reading of the declaration of intlependence of tbe United States of America- Of course the United States houl.l step in and protect any citizen unjustly arrested and cjntined by a for- n goverutneut, but tbe e'ise of Cutting has beeu ureatly exaggerated, and Consul Brigham made a grave mistake in inter fering with the matter in the first place. n fact. Cutting has had altogether too much notoriety already he is not worth IN NAM El). IN KNOWN. Dead and Alone A Mtraiisrr in a Mtrance Land. Tbe New Orleans lUrayun; has tbis to say of a trapeze performer who has often visited this city and the publication of these facts mav lead to information as to her relatives, if she had any in this country: Two davs ago there arrived in this city Victoria, ' a female Irapeze performer. who was at one time considered to be at the bead of her profession. She was ill, delirious, and was sent to the Charity Hospital as she was not .known to have any friends here. Yesterday morning she died, and when the fact became known Svgnor r aranta at once called at tne Charity hospital and informed those in authority there that tie wowa lase cuarge of the body and defray the funeral ex penses, which he did. At 5 o clock yesterday atternoon tbe funeral took place, and Victoria, the only name she wa3 known by, was intered in Greenwood cemetery. Signor Karanta and a few of his friends followed the re mains to tbe grave. Bui little could be leaned of the history of tbe deceased. She was a native of Philadelphia, Pa., and several years a!o mssed through tbe ity ou her way to Mexico. Signor Far- anta saw her ibere about two years ago aud she was then in good circumstances financially. She wore diamonds in pro fusion and was believed lo be worth f 10,- HMl in money. Reverses, however, came and her money look winus and she start ed on her way home. Ou reaching lb s cily she became ill and died, a stranger ami alone, and but tor tbe generous charity of Mr. Faranta would have filled a pauper s grave in Potter s f leld.

That is just where Sharp is ahead of tbe parson. He thinks it more congenial to shake his party five times a day than have it shake bim once, as is likely to be the case on the other side. The instance is known, however, wbera the parson grasped the same hand seven times with in an hour ana then bowed to a cow when he turned the corner, and still didn't make a vote.

Uel'ecta or th EaElinli Yacht. An article which appeared a few weeks ago in The Field was by no means pleasant reaaing lor those who are interested in English yachting, as it showed that tbe American fleet will shortly possess four great centreboard cutters of the very latest type. No doubt English yacbtimen have a very strong and perfectly jut objection to centreboards, which ought not to be allowed to compete for tbe America's cup, and they may therefore be inclined to deaniae these vessels; but no one can blame tbe Americans for following their own ideas as to what is bust, and the centerboard is, to a certain extent, made necessary by tbe nature of their waters. Even, however, if the sliding keel be al together aul unreservedly condemned and certainly it is, in some resfiects. most objec tionable it must be admitted that the Am-ncans are not stauding etill or going backward, and it is, we fear, equally clear that tbHii- brother sportamen on this side ot the Atlantic are distinctly going backward and abandoning good sbifis tor inferior ones, Tbis ia very much to lie regretted. Tbe Knglish racing yacht ot the latest kind has some very serious defects, and undoubt-.-dly carries too much lead, but nevertheless sbe is, on the w hole, an admirable vessel, bbe is haudy beyond any other vessel that exists, sbe has great speed, and she is sea worthy.
