IT being so near election time the argus
man concluded to tickle the Celt little, and
so wrote the following: eat the reassem-
bling of the British Parliament in October
Daniel O'Connell. the Great Liberator, will
take up the cudgels for home rule. O'Con-
nelps great heart always beats"-"O' Con-
nelps heart ceased beating some time ago
He's dead you know" hastily calculated the
neurology boy. The Argus man got mad at
first, and wanted to know if the boy thought
his memory was barren ideality; but he
soon calmed down, and fell to weaving a ro-
nance about agricultural scrip.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cleveland Lead
er claims to have overheard conversation
between Senator Thurman and another man,
in the course of which Mr.. Thurman de-
nounced Cary as political adventurer, per-
fectly unprincipled, and Communist at
heart. He also thought that the Catholic
question would lose Ohio to the Democrats,
and described the arrogance of the priests
as insufferable. Mr.. Thurman declares the
statement of this correspondent to be "a
tissue of falsehoods." The denial was scarce
ly called for. The correspondent, from his
own showing, must have been an eaves-drop-
per, and a sneak, and his word is entitled to
little belief. But it is a pity that the state
ment is not true, for the views attributed to
Mr.. Thurman do him IN inite credit.

VISORS.
mo Dutch need Apply"

Will the very observation-disclosures is
had, as matter of course, to the great?
Board of Supervisors, on whose shoulders
rests the wisdom of the county, more re-
sponsible than the British Parliament in
bestowing regency-will they never learn
that, when there is little FIVE cent patron
age to give, such as painting court house,
or digging drain, or building sidewalk
around public property, that their self
sacrificing Committee on Public Expendi-
lures is ever ready to attend to such mat
tiers? Of course this Committee would
not think of giving those little jobs to those
who vote just right! They are to high
minded for that kind of business, and
would not let such considerations influence
them to vote against SO laudable an object
as repainting that dingy old edifce, called
the court house Yet it is little curious
that, as long as the Sheriff has always
had charge of the public buildings, and
been instructed to attend to these unim-
portant matters. as the proper person SO
to do, the Committee on Public Expendi,
lures should so eagerly crave the job Is
it possible any of that committee have a
sneaking idea of running after some Office,
that they want these little crumbs to feed
caucus trimmers? Yet why, when they
all agreed that the court house should be
painted, did they refuse to let Sheriff
Huesing boss the job? mo Dutch need
apply" to the very honorable, the Board
of Supervisors. 1t is gratifying to know
that the high minded Feaster took strong
grounds against such small action as the
Board took this forenoon.

indorsed his action and that he will soon
return with funds to comply with the or

The Wide Awake Hose House.

The hose house of Wide Awake Hose
Co., No. 2,(corner of Court Square, which
has lately been undergoing considerable
repairs, is now completed. The front of
the building, being in an unsafe condition,
was removed and strong brick front plac-
ed in its stead, at the cost of the city.
The Wide Awake boys, 90 in number,
thought they could afford to spend little
money in fixing up their meeting room, in
the second story, and employed men to do
the work which is now completed. The
walls and ceiling of the room are hand
somely papered and calsomined and the
walls are hung with pictures incident to
the life Of fireman. In the front part Of
the room is a platform on which is a desk
and chairs, for the use Of the officers OF
the company, Above the desk is a fine
picture of the father of his country, and
on each side of this are the pictures ofAlder.
mem Y ates and Wollenhaupt, members OF
the company who have held the position Of
chief engineer of the entire fire depart
ment. Opposite these pictures, at the
other end of the room, is the Wide Awake
boys motto: "The eye that never winks
and the wing that never tires" The com
pany has expended considerable money il
fitting up the room, and the boys feel tha
they have as nice hall as any in the city
They intend giving dance in their hall il
week or two. or as soou as the weathe
becomes cooler. The officers of the com
pany are: james johnson, foreman; DAME

How is This2

Immediately after I bad bought the
road, offers came to me from several rail.
road companies to buy the road from the
bondholders. Adaptation from the cities
of Rock Island, Davenport, and Moline
also came to Chicago to invite me to attend
= meeting at Davenport of some moneyed
men who wished to have the road recon
structed and managed in the interest of
the people living along the line of the road.
|-Osterberg, an the Ne,o York Tribune.
Inasmuch as the recent meeting of
capitalists held in the Burtis House in this
city was convened at the request of Mr..
Osterberg, and the action taken there was
suggested by him, it would seem as if the
plans and project there considered haye
prospects of consummation.
We noticed Mr.. Trumbull, of Chicago,
legal adviser of Mr.. Osterberg and Capt.
Robinson, in our city yesterday afternoon,
for consultation, probably with the capt.
alists that were interested in the formation
of the new mpany.-Davenport Gazette,
14th
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-09-14

Information was received, yesterday, that
o meeting of the German owners of the r.
r. |. & st. L. bonds was held at Frankfort
on the 9th and 10th inst, and that the re-
suit was a cordial Endorsement of the ac-
ton taken by Mr., Osterberg, with instruc-
ton for him to return to America forthwith
with full power to organize the new COM
pany formed in Davenport last month, or
lease, sell, or operate the road himself in
the bondholders' interest, as he may think
most advantageous, they to furnish the
means necessary for the purpose.-Daven
port Gazette, 18th.
The closing words of the above may be
taken cum grano sails. There need be nc
doubt that the bondhold 3rs represented by
Osterberg would readily indorse plan tc
have somebody besides themselves put
some more money into that ''hole in the
ground" but whether they will themselves
put any more in the hole remains to b.
seen. That they would authorize him tt
sell, lease or do something to get the ele
plant off their hands is also quite proba

The Billy Swami Case.

About August 2Oth, a horse belonging
to Mr.. Philip Van Horn, foreman in J. D.
Taylor's carpenter shop, was stolen from
Bailey Davenport's pasture. When Mr..
Van Horn read in THE ARGUS that Alex
Steel had recovered his horse stolen from
the same pasture, he Immediately started
for Lower livery stable and was rewarded
by finding his horse, which is valued at$9O,
and which had been sold by Swami. This
morning he made complaint before Magis-
trate Chopper charging Swami with steal
ing the horse.
AT 9 o'clock this morning Swami was
brought before Magistrate Cropper, but
having had no time to prepare for the ex.
animation, his attorney, P. 7. McElherne,
asked for postponement until this after
ECON, at o'clock. Swann's mother, a
young sister, and brother were presen t.
and it was pititul sight to see their sor.
row. Swami was as cool and unconcerned
as usual
1t seems that Swann's rascalities com
menced some time ago. Last fall horse
belonging to John Ohlweiler was stoler
from Bailey Davenport's pasture. Mr.O
instituted what he thought was vigor
Gus search for it, but didn't get the leas
trace of it until last spring, when he dis
covered it hitched to little wagon which
lnoff, stone mason, was in the habit o.
driving about town, He claimed it a
once. Mr.. /. said he had purchased
from Jacob Keiser; Mr.. K, when ques
toned, said he had bought it of Gus Tie
man for $50; Mr.. I. said he had trade,
for it with Hartzell; Mr.. Ell. said he got i
from Brown in trade; Brown said he 60
! it from Billy Swami in trade; s. said
traded for it with stranger at Walcot
Iowa. There Mr.. Ohlweiler dropped tn
matter and concluded that he never woal
know who stole his horse. This all OF
CURED before Swann's rascality was re
vealed, and his story about getting tn
horse from Walcott was believed. Now
i appears to be the opinion that he got til
, horse directly from Dayenport's pastur,
} How much more thieving he has done tim
will doubtless tell. -
