ent, whose dancing days are over,
and whose limbs are not elastic, Is

his nights in spite Of bis difficulty in
sleepiag. Very few persons over six
ty wears old care b sit up after eleven
O'clock in the evening, and would
rather be invisible at an earlier hour.

than youth, but it is more eOvetOus Of

THE WAR CLOUD.
Important Order Received at Rock Island Ar
senal-An serviceable Ammunition to
be sent to the sea-Board.

The Government is evidently deeply ex-
ercised over the attitude of Spain, and is
preparing for the worst Possibly to her
the war cloud is larger in form and blacker
in hue than is deemed probable by the
people generally At any rate, the Gov
eminent is making war-like preparations
and is giving signs of life in the arsenals.
Yesterday afternoon, Col. Flagler, com
mandant of Rock Island arsenal, received
a peremptory order from the Secretary Of
War and Chief Of the Ordnance Depart
ment, to forward as soon as possible all
serviceable ammunition and other war ma
terial in the arsenal, to Fortress Monroe
OF course the order will be complied with
and the shot and shell and powder on the
Island will be loaded on cars, the work
commencing to-day most likely, and sent
eastward.
The quantity of powder, bullets, cannon
balls of all sizes, from the three pound to
the fcrty-twO pound, and grape canister
and shell of all sizes, is very large. In the
spring some three hundred car loads Of
| these projectiles were sent to the arsenal
/ from various posts in the country, espe-
cially those on the southern coast, for safe
keeping. 1t was housed, and then came
the work of selecting condemned portions
and relieving the shells OF their fuses anC
powder. Scores of tons of the balls, etc
were melted in the foundry and used in thu
construction of machinery for the work
shops Some forty car loads of the ma
terial is lying out doors near the foundr!
now. Probably there are two hundred anC
fifty ear loads of serviceable material on tn
island-to say nothing of the guns of al
descriptions, brass and iron from the it'll
mountain howitzer to the largest piec
that is mounted for field service.
So the Arsenal here now enters upon it
first service in war preparation. Shoul'
war really be declared, il viii be bus
place The shops completed will Probabl
be furnished with requisite machiner
forthwith aud arsenal and armory bushes
proper commence. And whether war wit
Spain ensues or not, there is no doubt tina
the result of the excitement over the pros
pect, with the plight the government is il
having but the single armory at Spring
field to depend upon, will be the hurryin
forward of the buildings contemplated i
the plan of the arsenal, to completion q
soon as possible This war furry ha
opened the eyes Of the government to il
needs in this egard-DareRport Gdzett

Shovel OFF Your Walks.

The law requires somebody, either ten
ants or landlords, to keep the sidewalks
free from snowor distractions and it is the
business of the police to enforce the ordi-
nance. We hope the police will make it
lively for the delinquents. A few fines will
have an excellent effect upon delinquents
all over town.
We are particularly interestedin having
the snow cleaned away from the west side
OF Bufurds Block the length of John
Bengstons store. 1t is the business OF
somebody, either tenant or proprietor, to
have this walk kept clean, and we call on
the City Marshal TO fix the responsibility
somewhere and enforce the law,

Thanksgiving.

To the editor Of The Argus:
] desire to call attention to the re-organ-
ization Of the Ladies Industrial Society of
Trinity church. You are aware this So
ciety did some effective work among the
poor of the city last winter and they in-
tend to work as faithfully this coming sea
SON but of course, must have means to
carry GU. their plans. At present they
have only such funds as the ladies them
selves contribute 1t is proposed in order
tn aid this work to make our approaching
Thanksgiving service genuine one in
which all persons so disposed may give a
Misunderstanding this offering to consist
of money or any kind of provisions, flannel,
muslins, comforts, clothing, (new or old, and
| in fact any article which can be used for
the poor. A pound Of sugar, coffee or tea,
| peck of potatoes, a sack of flour, any
thing--no matter how small the Offering
it will afford relief and comfort to some
one of the many who will need assistance
this winter. All benevolent persons car
help us in this work, as we relieve without
respect TO creed or church.
The ladies meet in the rect0ry every
Thursday from TO 8. clock, for work, anC
will gladly welcome any who may be dis
posed to help them.
The offerings referred to may be sent t.
the rectory Wednesday before Thanksgiv
ing Day, where they will be taken by
; committee and properly distributed. Eacl
package should be marked with article AM
name of donor
| would also mention another attraction
which our Thanksgiving service will offe
this year, viz. The rendering of the mus
ical portion of it, antiphonaIly, by a choi
of young ladies in connection with the reg
ular choir. We hope with these two fea
lures to have hearty, genuine, Thanks
giving service which will aid us all in tn
formation of generous resolutions in whic
self is forgotten and we learn how muc
, more blessed it is to give than to receive

Wants a River Detective Force

Somebody in Clinton who has probably
suffered considerably from the depreda-
tons of river thieves, suggests the organ
ization Of a detective force along the river
from St Louis to st. Paul, and says it is a
necessity for the protection Of property and
life. The above named cities and all other
ports are interested, as well as the steam
boats on the river" He gives the Clinton
Herald the following startling statement ::
'dHhe bands of thieves, robbers, gamblers
and confidence operators have wonderfully
increased, They have become perfect ex-
perts in their profession, 4 large class of
young men are being schOoled in this rob
bling and gambling band. They seem to
crop out from all the large cities and from
those engaged in rafting or from vessels
navigating the river.
IF they continue 10 increase in the next
few years as they have for the last number
of years, they will be masters of the situa
ton They travel privately, collectively
and in schools like blood suckers. VITA
town or city at or between these points ha'
not been inflicted with them this season
In all these cities they have their places o
resort where they are always protected ant
duly advised of places to rob, etc | an
credibly informed they have two sucl
places in this city-men who 60 their bal
when wanted.
Now, why not all the cities, towns ant
steamers organize in one great effort t
have all these thieves and gamblers regis
tered in every place on the river; to hay
