These figures show a large profit on the busi
ness Of 1865, and but a small profit in 1866. Out
Of $500, 4l7'S9 in 1866, the proprietOrs of this
journal received only S24, 259'50-the residue
having been expended for the benefit OF our
readers and advertisers. During the year the
size OF the Tribune was increased nearly one
quarter, and in the four items of editorial, cor
respondencc, teleeraphiug, and composition we
spent eS,6l6'32 more than in 1865. These eX-
pcndtures have been borne by the propretOrs
OF the Tribune without additional cost 10 our
subscribers, our readers and advertisers reCeiv-
ing the tull benefit. On some items the expenses
OF the year 1866 were unusually heavy. We
presume that the election campaign of last
summer and autumn cost this concern S25, 600
in additC Il TO the ordinary expenses of publica-
ton. 1t was an important election, and no
labor and no expense were spared by the ITi-
b1Hpe in doing its share towards eulightening
and con yinCiug voters. Our aggregate clrcula-
tion was increased iorty-One thousand copies
during The year (durine and for the campaign
the transient increase reached over 56,000J-
aud our advertising reCeIpCs increased from
S3Ol,9G617 in 1866 TO 1853, ,246'60 in 1866; in the
month OF December last reaching sos, 1913.
Accepting these figures as evidence of the public
appreciation of the Tribune, we shall aim to
make IL still more deserving the goodwill of
our friends.
AS the Tribune owns its real estate, nothing
was paid tor rent, nol have we included in the
statements of receipts our income from rents,
United States stocks, Tribune Almanac, etc. etc,
our aim being merely to show TO our readers
what it costs 10 carry on a large newspaper
establishment. To enable us 10 meet the in
creased demand for the Ii'iJuRe, and to place us
beyond the fear OF disabling accidents TO our
machinery, we have ordered a third Hoe Light
ming Press, and two new and larger engines and
boilers, having deepened our basement and

the lack of attendance to the dying out Oh

that the affairs were not properly advertised

THAT black gauntlet glove, found by City
Marshal Chopper and advertised in the AR
GUS. has been claimed by Mr.. Thomas Cut
Ter, of Moline, formerly of Davenport) who
lost 1t on the street in this city--another ev-
idence of the good effect of advertising in
the ARGUS. Mr.. Cutler is the gentlemen,
noticed in these columns, who aceidentiy
shot himself on his left hand while cunning,
on the Meredosia, in the fall. 1t was thought
that he would lose his hand, but we are glad
to learn that he now has fair prospect OF
saving it.
And the hat marked "E. o. h" was
claimed by its owner the same evening ii
was advertised-still another evidence OF the
| benefit of advertising in the ARGUS, paper
which everybody reads. and in which every
| body should advertise.

The Ice BRIDGE has caused a general re
oicing among the shivering Davenporter
who are out of coal, and the small dealers Il
tops and whistles who occasionally pick u
a stray customer from this side of the rive
though we do not regard the passage wit
teams as entirely safe. On Sunday aftel
| noon there was movement of the ice, nea
the railroad bridge, and large number
4 skaters barely saved themselves from W.
terry grave. Yesterday the wheel OF a dra
cut through the ice while crossing the rive
| Just below the road, on the other side, is ope

anywhere. Still, teams and people on fo'
are crossing and sleighs are running to carr

but we cannot conseientious!y advise II
, public that the passage is perfectly safe
1t is our duty to state the facts, as they exis

AcelDEsT-Yes yesterday afternoon, Dadie,
the little son of Mr.. Hutehins, proprietor OF
the Rodman House, IA chubby little four
year old, full of life and fun was down in
the saloon, at play. He took the coal shov.
ell and, loading it with saw dust, threw the
same into the store, upon bright bed OF
Goals, standing up close to the door to see it
burn. The result was sudden flash OF
blaze into his face, burning him very badly,
ell over mis- face, so that the skin Of a large
portion of his little fat cheeks almost i'm
mediately came off. He received immediate
attention and is doing as well as could be
expected. Everybody is sorry for this pain
full accident to little Dadie, and all hope
he will soon have good bright face again.
