FIRE I!
Dicksons Saloon Damaged.

On Wednesday night, about 81
o'clock, Mr.. Dickson's saloon, on
Lawrence street, in rear of Barrett
& Reid store, was discovered to be
on FIRE. A crowd assembled, forced
the doors open, and by steady ap"
plication Of water soon eXtinguished
the flames. A back window was
entirely consumed and the house to
some extent damaged. The fire ac>
cidentally originated in a box of
straw, near the fire place. If the
fire had occurred several hours later,
we would without doubt have had a
huge contlagration and several stores
laid in ashes.

TRANSFER PICTURES. The decorations
on carriages, buggies, sleighs, furniture.
boxes, &C., and other painted surfaces,
often show the most delicate artistic skill,
aud the question arises, how are such
views and ornaments placed there without
great expense The cheapest articles are
frequently covered with bits OF landscape
or floral decorations that could not be
painted by hand without increasing the
value of the articles. The secret is, these
paintings are transferred to the articles
adorned by Process called Decalcomanie.
When the method was first discovered
high prices were Charged for the transfer
pictures, and also for teac hing the art. 81
that few could afford to purchase. Recent
ly. however, dealers have reduced thu
rates so that now these pictures may b
obtained at comparatively low cost j. L
Patteu g. Co. 1852 William Street, New
York, are large dealers in these goods
For the small sum of ten cents they vii
send complete instructions with catalogue
and ten specimen pictures, to any one whit
wishes to learn this beautiful art.

Union Square.

The Ua5Oas newspaper is still anxious
that the city should be defeated in the
trumped-up, shyster law suit for portion
of Union square, and says the plaintiff will
quit claim if the city will only pay his law
yers. Here are its words:
Two Of the heirs of Jonah Case are, we are told,
willing to Qut-caim any reversionary interest, and
the third Ruch, the plaintiff in the action, is will
ing TO do the same on the payment OF sum suti-
cient to cover his lawyers fees. This would give
the city perfect title in fee simple to the square,
| and 1t is we'll worth the money,
o. yes, of course lit: is we'll worth the
money" but where is the sense in buying
it when We already own it?
Tho heirs of Jonah have no ''reversion-
airy interest" any more than Charley Pet
tifer has, and deed from them would be
of no more impo rtance. The city's title is
perfect to the square, now. The Union
thinks, if the Case heirs and Ruch quit
claim, then the city could sell the ground.
This is a mistake. They have no legal
claim whatever. And if they had they
could not give the city title that would
enable the city to sell the ground, for the
reason that all the people who own prop
erty fronting on the square have proper
ty interest in the square. They purchased
their lots, originally, with the agreement
that the square was to be used for public
purposes, and sales, since the original
purchase. have been made with the same
understanding, It was part of the con-
sideration of the purchase, and no mode
can be devised to sell the prop erty without
the consent of every sowner of property
fronting the square.
Aud even if such consent could be OBJ
tanned there is still question whether ev-
cry citizen of the place has not a legal
claim that the square shall remain open
for public use. -.....
Is the Union under pay from those who
wish to defeat the city in her rights? We
hope not.

to-day:
Jewish Synagogue.

Al meeting of our Jewish citizens,
recently held in the hall over May Bros.
store. an organization was effected and a
constitution adopted for society to enable
all believing in the Hebrew faith to receive
religious instruction. The following OF:
6cers were elected. Joseph Rosenfeld
President; Abe May. Vice President
Henry Burgower. Treasurer; Ed. Lazare
Secretary; and L. J. Levy, J. Epsten anc
J, f. Goldsmith, Trustees. The society
now numbers twenty-seven members. A
meeting will be held on Sunday Afternoon
Nov. 7th, at o'clock to adopt bylaws
and to take steps for the organization of ;
Sabbath school. We believe it is the in
tention of our Israelite citizens to emplo!
a Rabbi who shall be citizen here ant
have regular religious services.

"Calumny."

The Union thinks it "calumny" to ex-
pose the robbery of public funds and
says
''The people are so used to the calum'
MES of THE ARGUS, which no Republican
official or Republican candidate ever es-
capped" &C., &c.
Is this true? By no means, The peo-
pie know 1t is not true. The Ua,on knows
it is no: true. The Union has published
the evidence of its untruth by stating that
THE ARGUS supports Daniel Gordon and
can find no fault With him. Two years
ago The ARGUS recommended the sup
port of Mr. Gordon, and commended him
as an upright, honest man, and faithful
and impartial public officer. If The AR
GUS should discover any official act of Mr..
Gordon which, in its estimation, deserves
censure it will not hesitate to say so
But it knows of no such act, and it urges
everybody to vote for him.
Many other instances, in the course O
the life of The ARGUS, can be named il
which it has never had occasion to cen
sure Republican officers, and in which i
has sometimes supported them,ev wher
Democrat was running for the same of
fee Notably was this the case once whe1
Judge Wilkinson was a candidate for re
election, and when a Democrat, who wa
not competent to fill the position, was
candidate also.
THE ARGUS claims to be Independent
It wears no party collar and is controlle
by no ring. 1t supports the men it bt
lieves best suited for the place they ar
running for, no matter what their politics
!, 1t does this when it supports Porter an
Gordon.
T The Union cannot withdraw public a
tention from the disreputable course {
Cleaveland by screaming ''calumny
That wont do. The people want to kno
why ne kept $l68.O7 of their money, ar
, why he still keeps it when it should go
1 reduce their taxes. Cleaveland cam
give any satisfactory reason for keepir
the peoples money, and the people W
not trust him with any more of their none

UNCLE SAM SELLS THE CIGARS
An Outrage an Honest Citizens.

The readers of THE ARGUS are famill-
lar with the fact that. some time ago, the
e. s. revenue officers. on mere technical
ity, siezed lot of cigars from various man
nfacturers and dealers, here, simply be-
cause the brand on the bottom of the box
was pressed in, instead Of burned in. The
manner of branding was fully as efectual
and much palmer than by burning. and
could not be effaced without cutting away
the box. No pretense was set up, of fraud,
or that there was any attempt at fraud.
No pretense was set up that the revenue
had not been fully paid.
In exactly similar cases, over the river.
the revenue officers simply notified the
makers that they must burn in the brand
and they all complied. Here they grabbed
our citizens property, even when all the
taxes had been paid, 1t was an outrage
for which no justification can be offered.
The following is the result of the SALE
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-10-27
a Big Salary,

Everybody knows that 500 a year
is big pay tor collecting the taxes in this
town-but the law authorizes the collector
to retain per cent on all collections up to
,0O0-thus giving him $500. But
the same law provides that all commissions
in excess of 500 shall 60 into the town
treasury, Cleaveland wasn't satisfied
with 81 500 bat took all over that sum, and
has keptit.
The county treasurer gets only $500 a
year, with vastly greater responsibility,
and duties to perform every day in the
year, That is what Mr., Porter has re-
ceived, and all that he has received. He
was satisfied with that. But the ring
made large hole into that sum by getting
up spiteful contest in the courts over his
election.
The town collector gets the same
pay, and, although elected for a whole
year, generally does all his work in three
months. Cleaveland was not satisfied TO
serve the people year for 1900 but
gObbled all over that SUM, and has kept
it, contrary to law. He was told, at the
time,that it belonged to the town. and that
if he was found out it would hurt him if
he ever came up for Office.
ltwas big salary Isl 500 for the work
to be done-but he took money belonging
to the people and added it to the $1,000.
No man who wants to see expenses and
taxes reduced can approve of his course,
! or will vote for him,

read an article in THE DAILY ARGUS of

Of Saturday.-or else turn to CROSS Stat
utes of Illinois, pages 1856 Vol II, and he
will find that under law passed in pur-
suance of the new constitution, Cleave-
land was required to pay all fees over
81, 800 into the town treasury for services
rendered after July l. 1872, and as all SER
ices rendered by Cleaveland were after
that date, he took $l68.O7 which did not
belong to him; and he knew it did not
belong 20 him; he was told so at the time
and also told that if he was ever found
out in taking it it would hurt him badly il
