WHERE is Thar GRANr CLus Two
weeks ago Grant "Club" was formed in
this city. Their numbers were few, tis
true, but .hen they were plucky. The
only authority for the call was the Gazette.
yet it brought . few of the tag ends Of the
Republican party, and the q. A. RS to-
gethsr, just enough for officers Of the club
and just those who went for said officers
They organized-v voted themselves for
Grant and adjourned to meet again last
night Ths club was too heavy-ths rank
and file didn't fall in aud the thing has
busted on the Gazetts hands. 1t now
wants . republican club, and assures those
getting il up of success. Gsntlsmen, why
be so blinded to your intsrestsi Some
club must be organized. There is pressing
need that somebody Be its Secretary, there
fore, look out for another call to organize.

reason why . good line Of street cars from
East to West Davenport, along Third street,

would probably meet with better success.

that no monopoly 10 intended. The prep
srty holders st each end Of the line could
afford to build half ef the road seeing that
it would bring them 20 much nearer the
centre Of of business, and would make their
residences even more desirable than many
others in The city. The prcjset is surely
feasible. and ought 70 b mads practicable

JuvsxiLs TnIsvss. William Porter and
william Hud. two young lads, were brought
before Justice Blosd to-day, charged with
stealing. Their operations have aot bssn
large, but have been somewhat extensive. |
They have made il their business 70 carry
keys, and. with them, have been able to
enter various places and take whatever Of
value they could lay their hands on. These
are probably the same boys who broke into
the stores on Brady street, and stole oysters,
sardinss. Etc.. some time ago. Itis known
that they are the same who robbed
