a great many people, big and little, are
in the habit Of jumping on and off the
trains Of cars as they pass from one depot
to the another in this city. Perhaps some
one may he induced to greater caution by
reading the following, from the Cambridge
CHronicie.
We observe that the boys in Galva just
like the boys in Cambridge and all other
places on railroads, have a practice of
jumping on and off passing trains while in

saw Peoria d Rock Island train passing,
and at the right moment lie seized the

and fainting. lie was taken up and car.

off his leg just below the knee, and he is
cripple for life. He has quit jumping on
cars now and vainly regrets that he ever
commenced it but nothing else would
ever have taught him. Nothing but the
same experience in their own persons will
teach other boys but as fast as they learn
it that way they will quit it. The City

and George Yinton's horse, both of Moline
and both driven by their owners George

Brown has a good excuse for coming out a
little behind, this time He says he had
driven his horse 10 miles, to buggy, that
day, and he wasn't in the best condition, -
and, besides, he says he didn't know, till
he got into the race, that he had to trot
against a single footer. But Brown says
he has not lost confidence in his animal
he thinks just as much Of him as ever.
There was large delegation Of sports

they had a good deal of fun Several
small sums of money changed hands.

In the Union of this friday morning

into the Republican county committee
rather sharply. He says
Politically, things are getting generally
mixed up. With the Oranges, the new
railroad law. tariffs, etc, it is very hard to
prophecy who or what will come out ahead
Is it wise for our county central
committee to nearly double the number of
delegates to the county convention from
Rock Island and Moline, as they propose
10 do, leaving the country towns with
about the same number that they had be-
fore? Would il not be well for that COM
mite TO take into consideration the fact
that a new element, 1.-THE grangers, who
mostly live in the country towns) is grow
ing up in the county and throughout the
country, which the Republican party can
not afford to ignore? One of the most
prominent among them in this end of the
county Ia Republican, remarked on seeing
the apportionment of delegates in the Mo
line Rerieso the apportionment was also
published in THE ARGUS, but has not APP
peared in the Union that probably the
oranges might not GO into convention, but
await the result Of the nominations, and
then decide whether they will nominate
ticket themselves or not" Whether that
action Of the committee was made to fur
ther the interest of any particular candi-
date at the present, or whether it is inau-
gurated now to effect more important re-
suits hereafter, know not. But of one
thing am satisfied, that if carried out it

Its SANDERS React.


A gentleman asked another to-day if it
wouldn't be a good idea for Mayor Daven-
port to stop the Union : mouth with deed
of slough lot The answer was-'ao :;
Mr. Davenport prefers that the Little
Blonde should keep up the attacks on him,
for the reason that everybody sees that
they are dictated by spite and unfairness,
and they react upon their authors.
Everybody knows that public clamor for
years and years, has caused Mr. Dayen-
port unproductive and unoccupied prop
erty to be assessed higher than it should
have been in proportion to the productive
| property Of the city. Assessors naturally
yield little to this clamor, and put his prop
erty in as high as they dare toand still not
make it so unequal as to vitiate the whole
assessment 1t is not unnatural, therefore,
that he should decline to pay illegal taxes.
For small tax payer to do this might
seem inexcusable. But for man who is
taxed many thousands, and some Of it un-
justly, it is very natural that he should assert
his rights, under the law, for his protection.
Very few men exist in this world who would
not Mr. Davenport is very excellent,
kind hearted, liberal gentleman But he
can be otherwise if people insist on driving
him 10 that course. Fair and honorable
treatment will accomplish a great deal
with him. But ne is hard to drive, and he
don't scare worth cent. Let assessors do
their work fairly and according to law and
there will be less trouble. And let the
Little Blonde chatter away-nobody cares
anything about that

Terribly Crushed.

Thursday night freight No. II coming
into Davenport from the west, run over a
man lying on the track, in the curve near
st. Mary's cemetery. One leg was cut
entirely off, and he was otherwise terribly
crushed. lie was brought to Mercy Hos
pital, in Davenport, and still had his
senses and manifested no signs Of faiuting.
He gave his name as Thomas Redmond, a
harvest hand, lately arrived from South
ern Illinois, age 20, born in Kilkenny, Ire
land, and was only one year in this coun
try, He didn' know how he came to b,
on the track-no recollection of going
there. He said he had drank a good dea
Of beer during the day, but no whisky II,
probably was drunk when he wandered
out on the fill, and threw himself dowr
across the rail without knowing where h,
was. The Gazette SAYS Both legs will
have to be amputated above the knee
1t is possible he may survive, but tn,
probability is against him.
