Tbe Twin-City Columbian exposition
has been gaining ground gradually, but
surely, since the people, whose undertak
ing it IB, took hold c f it. From the first
Rock Island has stood ready to do its
part, and while the-e has been some en
ergetlc and successful work done in tbe
way of soliciting sul scriptions, not all of
the committees have made the effort they
should, in,' justice t) themselves and the
project. It is not such a difficult under
taking to secure subscriptions to this pro
j set. It requires bi t a little persistency
and an ? intelligent presentation of the
purpose and scope of the enterprise to
secure the subscription of practically
everybody. As said before, the money
is ready in I tbe majority of cases and is
simply awaiting the solicitation.
While Rock Island hts taken hold of
tbe matter with a vim and a spirit of
liberality that has btken the breath away
from the croaker, that individual has,
nevertheless, been a tempting to build up
a wall of obstruction to the enterprise in
tbe past day or so on the ground that Mo
line was going to fail in doing iti part and
tbertfore Rock Island need do no more.
Such an assertion is made with absolute
ly no knowledge of facts. In the first
place Moline is not going to fail, and it
would be no reason why Rack Inland
should go down with it, if it did. The
proud reputation of the twin-cities is at
stake, and when Ro k Island comes to the
front with its load.lMoline will not fail to
follow suit. Moline , in the first place,
had a later start tha i Rock Island, owing
to a combination of circumstances, but
has done well nevertheless. Rock Isl
and, however, is not accountable for
what Moline do. Rock Island
has started out to n.ise $50,000. So has
Moline. The joint undertaking on the
part of these two cities has gone abroad.
Outside cities are talking about it, and the
proportion each of the cities engaged in
the enterprise is tn do. Neither city
cn afford to fail, at d neither will. Cer
tainly one cannot bi cause the other does.
Rock Island has nade up its mind to
raise its share, and "when the time comes,
Rock Island as usut.l, will be on hand,
having done its duty. To the mind of
those who have been chiefly interested in
this great twin-ci y effort for several
months, there is no such word as fail.
Success is what tbe two cities are striving
for, and euccess will ccme. Tbat is the
watch-word and wi h it ever in mind and
view it will lead to un accomplishment of
the desired end despite every possible obstacle.

John Reynolds, a bariender from Dav
enport, was on this side of the river last
night, and didn't appear to be in just the
beat humor. YVhi e in a First avenue
sample room he wai ted someone to go on
an errand for him. George Willis did
the errand, and on returning reported to
Reynolds and tbe latter called Willis out
side, where, with hsrdly a word of wan?
ing, he ibegan to w pe up the sidewalk
with him. Willis' face was badly cut,
and when the police: interfered he was a
sorry looking sight. Officer Carlson ar
rested Reynolds and took him to police
headquarters where he put up collateral
for his appearance today.
Reynolds, when taken to the police
station again, got funny, and Officer
Suhaab found it necessary t take a drai;
out of him, which he did with neatm ss
and dispatch. When brought before
Magistrate Wivill U is morning ha was
assessed $15 and cists for his night off,
which he paid.
Dr. Henry Matthey. of Davenport, was
w ilking up Harrison street last evening
aiout 10 o'clock after having finished his
professional duties for the day, and jusi
above Fifth street passed Charles Hines.a
worthless negro, who was abusing bis
wife. Tbe doctor stopped and remon
strated with him an 1 with hardly a word
of reply tbe negrci drew a pocket kni'e
and stabbed tbe doctor in the face. Tbe
blade of tbe knif a penetrated his right
cheek, going through to the teeth, and
the blood poured fiom the wound ia a
stream. lbe doctor went to nis emce
and dressed the wound, and tbe matter
was reprrted to tl e police by O. John
son, keeper of a rete rt on Harrison street.
who accompanied Officer Magee several
blocks up the latter street, in which di
rection the negro hud gone, until he was
captured near Sever th or Eighth. In his
pocket was found tie blood-stained knife
with which the cutting was done.

A special train went west over the C,

Supt. Royce and other officials to Des
Moines to attend the funeral of the late
Supt. Given.
Passenger and freight business on all
the roads entering the city is good. The
yards are full of cars, trainmen are busy
and the depots generally have tbe appear
ance of being rushed with business.
The Dublin & Wrightsville railroad,
oxiending a distance of 19 miles between
two Georgia towns, has been called tbe
"cheapest railroad in the world." It was
built and equipped for $4,000 a mile and
has earned 40 per cent a year.
There is already some speculation as to
who will succeed the late Supt. Given on
the Rock Island road. J. V. Keith,
trainmaster at Davenport and Supt. C. N.
Gilmore, of- the Oikaloosa branch, are
mentioned for the position.
Night Yardmaster Boston Shank, of the
C, R. I. & P. , is back from his visit to
the east and Frank Weigand is working
days again. He can new devote mere
time to campaign work in the Sixth
ward.
All the chief train dispatchers of the
C, R. I. & P. system have been in ses

though Buffering some from internal in
juries, it is thought that no permanent in
juries will result.
A new order has been issued by Divi
sion Superintendent Ewing, of the C , R.
I & P-, in relation to the computing of
overtime. Under the old rule, if a man
worked 30 minutes ov er time he received
no extra pay, but if be worked 35 min
utes over time he received pay for an
hour. It was called the "SO and 35 min

any trainman or switchman will receive
pay for the exact time be works, nothing
less than five minutes being computed,
however.

The speech of the mayor at the Wood

Wednesday night, and to which extended
reference was made in TnE A rocs tbe

more or less discusBiun and coojeeture
the past few days, and not
only has tbe RBertion made by
The Argus tbat it was a piece of
political demagogism, been frequently
made, but tbe mayor has been condemned
as a political hypocrite as well shown
by his closing utterance wherein be bit
terly assailed the saloon trBffis, the very
element to which be appealed for votes a
year ago, and it may be said, too, that a
large number voted for him because
of the leniency he had shown in
applying lawful restrictions to tbeir
modes of conducting business, a
practice be has continually adhered fb in
his second term. Hi" inconsistency in
this regard is as unieasonable as his ma

A case which may develop some sensa
tional features, has been brought to the
notice of the proper authorities ia the
death of 17-year old Nellie Ford, wbirth
occurred at the home of her widowed
mnher, Mrs. Anna Ford, 732 Thirty
fifth street, at 11 o'clock last night.
Coroner Howes this morning cmpanneled
a jury consisting of James Wivill, fore
man, John Cleland, L. V. Eakhart, H.
D. Folsm, Henry Burgowerand Cbarles
Cise, who, ef ter viewing the remains, ad
journed until 2 o'clock this afternoon.
An Argus reporter called at the home f
the young lady this morning aad from
relatives learned that she had b -en sick
since a week ago last Monday night
when she came home sick from Moline.
The family states that on that evening
Miss Ford had gone up to Moline in com
pany with three other ladies, and that
tbe whole party went to the Peal hou e
where some dentists were pulling teeth
for the purpose of having some tee h
that were troubling her extracted. Wi en
she returned home that night she was tmt
feeling well, her head ached, and the
went to bed quite ill. Ia the
morning she was unable to arise. A
physician was called in who termed her mtl
a4y lung fever.later pneumonia and finally
gave up the case. Another physician
was then called, who, after being told of
the patient having had some teeth extrac
ted, pronounced it blood poisoning. The
youag lady continued to grow weaker
and passed away about 11 o'clock last
night. , A sister of the desd girl stated
to the reporter this morning that when
Nellie cams borne from the Pea! house
that evening she said that the dentist who
pulled her teeth had put something in
the cavity that bad make her sick. She
had three teeth extracted, two from the
lower j w and one frjai tbe tipper, and
th it after that she hid sitd vjry little
ationt it, being tio sick to do so.
Up to 3 o'clock the coroner's jury had
made no progress, all the witnesses who
had been subpoenaed failing to put in an
appearance at that time. Tbe most im
portant of these witnesses are expected to
be two physicians, Drs. Kinyon and
Plummer, who were delegated by State's
Attorney Sturgeon to make a post mor
tem examination. From this tbe real
cause of the girl's death and the ground
for babing criminal charges, if any, wi!l
be determined.
Arrangements have been made by tie
young girl's relatives for the funeral to
take place from St. - Joseph's chnrch to
morrow aftemooa at 2 o'clock, but tbe
state's attorney having ordered a post
mor'em exmint.ioa it miy interfere
with the funeral.
