Saturday there will be special election
at the engine house, to vote for or against
granting our board Of education authority
! for issuing bonds, to the amount of 81 500
for building new school house in the Eas
, Ward. The board proposes to erect Two
story building 26x34, that can be convert
ed into q dwelling house at any time it may
} become too small for school purposes. TIL,
| necessity for the new school house is al
established fact, and inasmuch as the at
tendance at the public schools will be lar
ger next year than for some time it il
d hoped that all will unite and vot
in favor of the plan proposed
by the board of education. There is n
subject Of such vital Importance as tn
D proper education of the young, and any
!, thing looking to the furtheranoe of educa
tional interests should be fully sustained
q At present the board have to rent a build
ing for the accommodation Of pupils in tn
east ward who next year will number near
= ly 200 children between and IA years
There is no room for them unless the boar,
rent some building, and the yearly renta
would go towards paying for the new schoo
7 house, This project is one that every citize
should cheerfully support and it is hope
that the election will result in a decide
majority for the plan proposed by tn
r board Of education.

Lecture by Reecher,

The Gazette says: REV. Henry Ward
Beecher will visit Davenport in September
next, Mr.. Charles E. Locke has engaged
the Burtis Opera House for two evenings
for him in that month at any rate-and he
assures DR.. Burtis that he has entered in
to a written contract with Mr.. Beecher for
certain number of lectures, to be deliv-
cred in the principal cities of the country.
He believes that two lectures can be deliv-
cred in Davenport, and that the Opera
House will be filed on each occasion. He
is right in this estimate. We doubt if the
Opera House, spacious as it is, will accom-
modate the people in this city who will
want to hear lectures by Henry Ward Bee
cher The Opera House will seat 1880
people. Mr.. Beecher could draw full
houses for a week-at SOC for gallery, 75c
for general admission, and 81 for reserved
seats, as is proposed"

Judge Drummond Wants to see Treas
urer Porter.

County Treasurer Porter has received
notice to appear before Judge Drummond
at Chicago on next Thursday to show
cause why he should not be fined for con-
tempt of court for selling the r., R. I. &
St. l.. r, R. for taxes. Mr.. Porter placed
the papers in the hands of State Attorney
Parmenter, who will send them to Atty
Gen'l Edsall, and the State will take care
of the matter. We shall probably yet find
out whether the Federal government can
interfere with the State in the collection of
local taxes. We are anxious for the issue
to come. The State of linois..wili assert
her right to Home Rule.
A notice was also sent to Mr.. E. W.
Smith, of Des Moines, the purchaser of
the road, to appear at the same time.

follows:
What is there for Him to Do!

The Union says Boynton's duties keep
him fully occupied, without essaying the
additional charge of relaying the water
pipes.
Inasmuch as the council took away from
him the making out and collecting bills
for water rents; and appointed another
man to superintend the rebuilding of the
water works; and iDasmuch as the engi-
neer is supposed to be capable of running
the pumping works, and blowing the whis-
tie, just exactly how Boynton's duties
kept him fully occupied the people who
pay him are not able to perceive
On the contrary they are very generally
of the opinion that Mayor Davenport is
right in insisting that they shall not pay
two superintendent. Let the water
board say which they want-and not ex,
pect that the people will pay two.

Fined $50 90 and Sentenced to 80
Days Imprisonment.

Friday July 9th.-On the 9Th of May
last two indictments were found against
Frederick Boston, Lying opposite Musca-
tine, for selling liquor without a license,
and for selling to minors. Yesterday
morning Deputy Sheriff Silvis went down
to Boston's place and arrested him, return
ing this morning. He was taken before
the county judge and plead guilty to five
counts for selling liquor without license,
and was fined $40 on each count Zone hun
dred dollars) and sentenced to so days in
the county Jail.
Boston also pleaded guilty to three
counts for selling to minors, for which he
was fined $50 and sentenced to 80 days in
Jail. He was semitic Jail.
States Attorney Parmenter appeared
for the people.
A reporter for THE ARGUS called at the
court room this morning to learn the facts
in relation to this or any other
cases, He found the Honorable
Court with its feet on a table
among county papers and reading the
Police Neacs, or some other paper, The
reporter politely asked the court if it had
had any cases this morning. The court
looked up from its paper and answered
snappishly: eyes did," Pause for two
minutes, the reporter expecting the court
would go on and give an account of the
the case,-but he was disappointed. The
reporter then asked if the court would
give him the name, charge, and sentence
in the case. The court replied: Il DOM
propose to give you any news for that pa
per" The reporter then asked for thu
record and the clerk brought it out, from
which the facts were learned.
For some time there has been an at
tempt, by our Republican ofice-holders a
the county Offices, to keep back informa
ton from this paper until it had appeared
in some other paper. They are thus lay
ing up sorrow for themselves, for days
come. THE ARGUS is really the best frien
they have in the world, for it tells then
their faults, exposes their weaknesses, an
gives them an opportunity to improve, bot
| in knowledge and in manners,
They will probably yet learn that tn
ARGUS has the same right to informatio
from their Offices that other papers have
and will get it, too. Keep your temperi
Messrs. Office holders, for THE ARGU
will hold you up in its mirror before tn
people exactly as you are-no fault exteI
uating, nor aught set down in malice.

A Revengeful Organ.

The stomach is a revcngeful organ. If we assign
it indigestible food, Ii not only refuses perform
its Office, but infiicts upon unspeakabe tortures
such those of iyestion, collie cholera morbus
&C. Not content NTH giving pain, it frequently
inaugurates an excessive and wasting diarrhpa,
called dysentery, which carries to our graves.
With view to prevent these consequences, as soon
as the stomach gives notice by premonitory winges
that its cargo is not to is liking, wineglassfu or
two Of Hostetter's Stomach Bi:ters should be
swalloed. This admirable digestive cordial will
promptly reconcile the refractory organ to its con.
siby fatal results which the presence Of indgetihe
food in the stomach is liable to sroduce. The
Btters also superb tonic, restorative and ap-
petizer.

g are uluCU ullSldkGu Ill OUT eStIIOdt6
of the III en- if special meeting is not held
before many days for the purpose of show
ing who runs the city. The aldermen owe
it to themselves and their constituents,
who are with them almost unanimously,
to reassert and enforce their authority
Union.
How liable some people are to be mis-
taken, 1t has probably not yet occurred
to our amiable contemporary that the
Carse-Butler set were wofully beaten and
repudiated by the people last March, that
the people decided against their acts and
their policy, and called Bailey Davenport,
for the seventh time, to the head of and
management of their affairs, and expect
that the aldermen elected on his ticket
will sustain him.
We hear that Aid. Davis says they are
going to impeach the Mayor! Aud that
Aid. Butler says our taxes are not high
enough; that more money must be raised
by taxation than we have been In the habit
of raising.
Would it not be we'll for Aldermen
Butler. Woodruff, Bailey, Carse and Davis
to remember that, last March, the people
of Rock Island repudiated them and their
policy? Would it not become them to
pay some Difference to the will of the peo-
pie as expressed last spring? They have
legal right to vote in the council for the
balance of the year, but it would at least
be modest and proper in them to recollect
they are not very fresh from the people,
and that the persons elected last spring
are supposed to more nearly represent
the views of the people now, than these
hold-overs do.
There is no politics in this matter. A
good many Democrats in this city neve
voted for Bailey Davenport, but always
opposed him, When any excitement oc-
ours they always float to the surface and
do good deal of heavy standing around
and indulge in their peculiar gable. May
or Davenport never expected any support
from them. His support is from the great
body of the Democrats and from large
portion of the Republicans. No party feel
ing enters into his action. He works fol-
the good of the whole, and there lies his
greatest strength.
These people who talk of impeachment
and high taxes should recollect that the
people impeached them in the ballot box,
last spring, and preferred Bailey Daven'
port and his friends to the management Of
Butler, Carse 4 Co., and their incompe.
tent water board. Nothing, that we car
think of, warrants them in putting on any
airs of superiority over men who have just
been called by the people to pursue diff
ferent line of policy. Let them roost q
'istle lower and they will appear better.

The Implication in THE ARGUS that the
Water Commissioners ever desired Mr..
Riley to be superintendent instead of Mr..
Boynton, is unqualiGedly false Union.
Nothing ever appeared in THE ARGUS
from which any such implication can prop
erly be drawn.
The water board wanted Riley to super
intend the digging of the trenches and
laying Of the pipes.
The Mayer thought Sup't Boynton ought
to do that, instead of employingsan extra
superintendent at S4a day expense to the
people.
The water board answered that Boynton
wouldn't do.
In practice, therefore, the water board
wanted two superintendent. The board
did not object to keeping Boynton in Office
at 81 900 year, but wanted another super
intendent at a rate of about $500 a
year.
The Mayor thought one man could do the
work, and if the water board preferred Ri
ley for part of the work, he 1.-THE Mayor
thought he had best do it all, and thus
save the people the expense of two.
That's all there is of the case
Personally, the Mayor never did care
and don't now care fig which ofthe men
holds the Office, but he don't mean that
the people shall be compelled to pay both
for work which one can do.
Officially. he was willing to defer to the
judgement of the water board, that Riley
was the best man for the place all things
considered, and therefore, and for the rea-
son that the water board seemed SO to
think, he removed Boynton, in order to
save expense. IF the board think Boynton
can fill the whole bill as superintendent,
let them say so, and we presume he vii!
remove Riley.
The Mayor, while anxious to secure the
services of capable men, is also anxious to
Icut of all unnecessary expenses,

what purpose-probably among others, to
choose chairman in his place, as he no
longer considers himself a member of the

Mr.. Mitchell stated that Mr.. Boyuton
called on him this morning and asked if he
had anything to do, and ne told him that
there didn't seem to be much of anything
for him to do, as matters stood, but per-
