NOTES. HERE AND THERE.

A heavy frost last night
Senator Cole, accompanied by Jesse R.
Grant, son of the President, have arrived
at San Francisco.
Governor Booth, of California, and
Saml Bowles, of Springfield, Mass, are
on brief visit to Salt Lake.
The printers of the country press OF
North Alabama, have resolved not to
work for any paper using patent out
sides.
The gilded top of the Davenport Brady
street NJ f. Church spire leans more and
more. To replace it scaffolding will have
to be erected clear to the top.
Several RATS passed down yesterday, all
in tow One managed by the Helen Mars
struck pier Of the new bridge in the fore
noon and was slightly damaged
The lie Claire has had her smoke stacks
cut down so that she can pass under the
bridge. As she passes back and forth
many times day, the ridgetenders are
pleased at the change.
The saltwater is to be the name of
the tow boat now building at the Rock Isl
and boat yard. The hull was made last
winter at I,e Claire and the upper parts
are now being constructed She will be
finished by the LIST of June
The dredge boat engaged in the removal
Of the old bridge was yesterday moved to
the second pier from the Island, the first
being thoroughly cleaned out The spud
boat, which had hoated down the river,
was taken back to its former position.
Piles of boxes barrels, etc, on the side
walks, show that our merchants are doing
something. No one ought to complain Of
this. They must have a chance to do bu-
siness But when they fill the cutters
with ashes, coal, etc, and sweep their
litter, waste paper, straw. etc. into the
streets, than the police should invite them
to call ON Esq. Copper.
Superintendent Boynton is having a
lively time with the broken water mains,
all about town. In some places ON Rock
River street pipes froze and burst when
six feet under ground 1t will be some
time before all the broken pipes are re
placed All the pipes on the dead end,
from Illinois street To the river, in Wash
ingtou, are supposed to be broken, and
viii be replaced with new.

The Sunday Law.

To the Editor Of The Argus:
Did the new society find no fault last
Sunday when all the saloons were closed d?
Did not drinkers get all they wanted =?
Did they not get their lager in the brewery
and something stronger in the drug stores?
Did not business 60 on as usual? Did all
the horses have their rest, as the law re-
quires? Were the barber and butcher 5
shops closed ? Were the milk men required
to obey the Sunday law ? Or was every.
body, except saloon keepers, permitted to
defy that law?
Why does not this new society try to be
consistent and impartial, and give notice to
al Sunday law breakers to obey the law,
as well a. to saloon keepers? Is it not for
hidden to work your man-seryant, maid
servant,ox, horse, mule or ass on Sunday =?
Is 1t not against the law to do any business
whatever on that day | would like to see
fair play, and no one-sided war upon one
class only. Either give us this, or let us
have peace, and say no more about. We
don't want to drive the business over the
river. We need all the money at home, as
much as possible CY.

Log Jams

1t is reported that a very serious log
jam has occurred on the Chippewa River,
several miles above Chippewa Falls The
jam broke away last week, and the logs
above came rolling down with rush and
formed a jam comprising over three hun
bred million feet of logs. This stops the
running Of logs out of the Chippewa above
the Falls for an indefinite period, and as
the river is constantly falling matters real
" look dubious for lumbermen. Another
jam is also reported on the Black river,
although not 50 large as the Chippewa one.
The logs tied up in the Chippewa-about
seventy-fve milEons-are owned by the
Mississippi Logging Co. and large num-
Der Of them are destined for firms in Rock
Island and vicinity. A large number of
logs below the jam on the Chippewa will be
foated out Immediately.

Reputation Ruined,

We feel rather sorry for Bailey Daven-
port. The Union has been trying to use
him up for long time-and now that pa
per has just gone and done it, sure The
Union says he has appointed a man on the
police who was once a rebel soldier This
is shocking. 1t is true that the cruel
war is over the poor misguided man,
long ago, laid down his gun and submit
ted he acknowledged that he was
whipped he even quit the rebelhous coun-
try, and, few years ago, came to Rock
Island and worked hard at his trade-that
Of a carpenter He is a citizen of the L
S.-a citizen of Illinois a citizen of Rock
Island, and entitled to all the privileges of
the former citizens Of Maryland and Iowa
who edit the UaioH-but, says the Union.
he was member of a North Carolina
Rebel regiment during the rebellion
That what's the matter with Hannah
During the war we had a rebel prison
here, and one of the rebs being released
was Immediately appointed turnkey of the
jail by the then sheriff. Not only that,
but the sheriff had him registered and got
him to vote the Republican ticket though
he became citizen by compulsion, while
prisoner in the Bull Pen. No complaint
was made Of this, by the Union.
1t is true that Grant appointed Gen
Longstreet and other ex-rebs to office, and
the Union defended the act-but when
Bailey Davenport appoints poor ex-reb
as a policeman the Union fires great guns
at him We don know whether the man
was ever a rebel or not-and don't care.
But we do want the Union 10 try and be
consistent If it was right for Grant and
for Republican sheriff to appoint ex-rebs,
is it wrong for Bailey Davenport to
follow their example?
We are sorry for the two valiant little
soldiers in the Union office. Both served
on our side. Both got offices, Both were
kicked out of their offices by Grant. Both
praised Grant and our Republican sheriff
for appointing Longstreet and other ex-
rebs to Office Why shouldn't they snap
at Bailey Davenport for following their
eXample2

Street Car Time Table.

The horse railroad company has issued
time card, showing when cars will be at
the following stations
Glass Works,
First National Bank,
Cops, foot of Moline Avenue.
Centre Station
Halfway House.
Moline
The cars are run by Chicago time. This
is wrong. 1t would be just as sensible to
run them by Boston or San Francisco
time. The true way to do business in
Rock Island is by Rock Island time. 1t is
said that the street cars are run by Chi
cago time in order to meet trains. then we
say why not run by the time Of the Peoria
trains (which is Toledo time as well-or
by the time of the other trains. fit is
about time Rock Island got out of the alb
surd notion Of doing of business by the
time Of some distant point. because some
railroad train arrives and departs by that

PROFITABLE FOR THE CITY.
A Quarrel Among LiauOr-ssllsrn.

la SALE, April 22,-The liquor-sellers
in Minonk are having a lively time over
their Sunday liquor law. One prominent
saloon keeper was arrested for violating
the city ordinance in this particular, by
selling liquors on Sunday, and fined 500
and costs He, in revenge, informed on
two others who where also guilty, and they
were also fined something near $2j and
costs each. The latter, to retaliate, per
suaded several young boys to go and drink
at the formers saloon, which they did
when the proprietor was Immediately ar
rested and fined for selling liquor to mi
nors, The city treasury, in the meantime,
is profting out of the saloonists' private
quarrels.
