SUGAR Hollow RETREAr.-A few DAYS
ago We called the attention of our Moline
friends 20 the fact that shameful den of
iniquity had been fourishing back of their
city, for some time past, at place appropri.
ately termed sugar Hollow Retreat We
also suggested that the good name of the
town demanded raid on the establishment,
On Monday afternoon the same was made
in good style, whereat the "fallen angels"
spread their sullied wings and sought a
more congenial cline, closely followed bv
their degraded masculine coadiutors in vice.
Half q dozen hitherto unblemished rann,s.
'ions in Moline are suffering considerably
from the effects of the brief stay of the
cyprisns.

near Chesterfield, H., and will eventually
run a switch to them from their road, three

LIBEL SUIT. Thomas X. Fluke, late rad
ical Treasurer of Scott county, under whose
administration of affairs a considerable de-
falcation occurred, and to cover up which,
as his adversories allege, the tax books of
Scott county for several years past were
stolen and INITIATED, has brought suit against
the Davenport Democrat for libel claiming
damages to the amount of $4,000. We
are glad to see that the managers OF the
Democrat are not frightened quite as badly
as they might be under some circumstances,
and the probability IL that Bro. Fluke will
let the action die natural death as soon ns
he properly dveelopes the pluck of the de-
PENDANTS. 1t will be remembered that Broth.
erin, Fuke's confidential clerk, was found
dead at lie Claire, not q very long time ago
under circumstances which strongly sug
pested the fact that he had deliberately and
Intentionally blown his brains out. BY 6
very great many it WAS supposed that he hac
committed suicide on account OF the ap
preaching investigation of Republican man
agement at the Scott county Treasurer
office. IN fact, that vas the general impreF
sion at lie Claire ut the time. The outraRes
ct that Office have been Of character wor
thy of the middle ages, or of the bP-bar SIN
aud anarchy of Mexico or South America
