An Expert Locksmith,

The most expert locksmith in this re-
gion is Charley Fiebig. formerly of Steers
hardware store but now in business for
himself as will be seen by his card in this
paper. He can open any combination lock,
with reasonable time.
Some weeks ago VIM Clayford,a clerk in
Sunderlands -four mill, at Burlington
Iowa, went bathing IN the Mississippi river
and was drowned. He was the sole pos.
SCISSOR of the knowledge of the combination
on which the safe was locked. They Sent
for Fiebig, and he opened the safe IN about
an hour after he commenced on the com
binations. 1t was one Of Halls safes
Charley has an order to. go to Rocl
Rock Falls, Whiteside county, to open
Macneale & Urban safe.
Any orders in the way of repairing key
or locks or opening locks the keys to which
have been lost, he will execute promptl
and well.

Plain as a Pike staff.

The question as to whether the mayor
is to be counted in making up the number
of which two-thirds must be obtained de-
ponds wholly on the phraseology of the
charter and state laws. That the mayor
is a member of the city council authorized
by law to be elected, does not admit of
question. Wherever, in the charter or
laws, the phrase ''two-thirds of all the al
dermen" is used, then the mayor is not to
be counted, because he is not an alderman.
But wherever, in the charter or state laws,
the phrase two-thirds Of all the members
Of the city council, authorized by law to be
elected" occurs, then the mayor must be
counted in making up the number of which
two-thirds must be obtained, because he
is member of the city council, authorized
by law to be elected.
That covers the whole ground, and is
really all there is of the question,

Picnic and a Riot.

The Swiss population of this city had
picnic on Credit Island Sunday, and when
the ferry-boat, owned by Mr.. John Offer
man, was bringing the party back in the
evening, a couple ofroughs wanted to have
their skiff towed and free ride. Mr..
Offerman objected, and they were elected
from the boat. When they were in their
skiff and at safe distance from shore the
roughs made threats that they would
make it hot for Offerman and his party when
they arrived at the water works, where
the boat generally lands When the ferry
arrived party of about 90 of Rock Island
candidates for the penitentiary were in
waiting, aud, after the passengers had been
landed and the boat was about to return,
began throwing rocks and boarded the
boat. Mr. Offerman was beaten and
bruised badly. and his SOD, young man,
was thrown from the boat into the water
and cut with knife and also with rocks
Both have been confined to their beds
since the row. L. c. Klng,of the Western
Brewery, was hit on the side of the face
and knocked insensible. Two boys nam
ed Buncher and Streckfus were also in
jured by being struck with rocks. It's no
known who threw the rocks, as Mr.. Offer
man did not know their names, and it beinl
pretty dark, people who were near coul'
not recognize the parties. If they wer
known it would be good chance for tn
police to do some very useful work.

DON'T GO!
A new trap By Williams to Invei
gle People into Alleys and Lone
Places for Purposes of
Robbery.

If, when you are walking along a side
walk in the evening-or in daytime either
fer that matter-and man should come run
ming out of an alley as you are passing it,
and. all excited and nervous in voice and
action say: "A man is in here badly hurt
and dying, come and hell me moment,
and then please run for a doctorI' don 7
go with him. As you value your gold
watch, your wallet, your life, keep him at
a respectful distance, and walk away as fast
as you can. He has a trap scoundrels
have set to get you in lonely place and
rob you.
The game was tried with a young man
on Perry street below Second last evening.
He was stranger, visiting some. relatives
here-and was on his way to the levee, q
steamboat having just arrived. As he
was passing the alley in the rear of Kuh.
men, cigar works, large man cane run
ming towards him in the alley and hailed
him. He stopped, and the fellow said
Come here quick-a man is dying here
Help me and then run for assistance, do!
How many men would have refused to &c
with him?-not many, we believe. The
young man thought he looked like villain
and his reply was: Haven't time-go
to hurry to the boat" and walked on
He hadn't got ten feet when he heard ;
man say, lets bring him in, anyhow,
and three men came running out of thu
alley towards him. The scoundre
who had called him was in advance of thu
others, and when he got within reach, tht
young man gave him a stunning blow in tn,
jaw, and then made motion to his poke
as if about to pull revolver, and turned
to hasten away, The two chaps in tn
rear came no farther, but the fellow who hat
the hit jaw ran out in the street, picked w
stone, threw it at the gent who strucI
him, and then joined his pals
The game that these villains tried t.
play has never been attempted here before
we believe, 1t is simple enough, appeal
to man desire to help people in distress
and when successful will permit atrociou
deeds where no help can be had, and in
way to prevent the detection of the perpe
traitors. Don't heed such call from
stranger.-Dav. Gaz.

chaise top buggies, wide and luxurious

The Great Show.

Barnum great show will be in Daven
export tomorrow, and in Rock Island the
next day, Following it will be an innum-
cradle throng of thieves of all sorts, and
for which the show company is in no man
ner responsible. 1t will be utterly impos-
sibe for the police force to be everywhere
at the same time, and people may as we'll
make up their minds to watch their own
property. People who rush to the front of
their premises and leave the back doors
and windows unfastened need not be sur
prised if they are robbed. And people
who leave their premises unprotected at
night should not complain if they are rob-
bed. Beware Of any conversation with
strangers; don't carry valuahles about
your person, and don't 20 alone or with
strangers IN unfrequented places.

The Chicago Journal saws:

At the last session Of the legislature that (regis-
tryaw was SO amended so as to apply only to state
elections, which term az interpreted by Hon. s. B.
Hurd therevsor Of the statutes, and by other able
lawyers, means those only at which state officers
were chosen.
The Journal is mistaken The registry
law was not amended at the last session of
the legislature, 1.-THE Twenty ninth Gener-
al Assembly, but bill for the repeal of
the law came within very few votes of
passage. 1t was the Twenty-elghth, Gen
eral Assembly, dominated by Republicans,
which passed the revised statutes, among
which is the registry law now on the books.
as to the meaning of which the best law
yers differ.-Stdte Register.
We hope the legal Interpretation will be
that no registry is required except at ar
election of state officer, That will dc
away with all registration at municipal and
county elections, and save thousands o.
dollars to the people, The idea that the
registry law prevents frauds is sham anG
pretense. 1t is easier to commit frauds
on the ballot box under our registry Law
than with none at all.
Another wrong feature about it is thu
numbering of ballots, thus putting i
IN the power of an unscrupu!ous county O
city clerk to learn how every man in tn
county or city voted, report it to his RIM
and thus mark their men, and destroy tn
secrecy of the ballot.
The law ought to be wholly repealed
it has been so changed that no registry
required except at state elections, goo
deal has been gained towards abolishin
) the iniquity entirely.

POLICE COURT.
Before E. c. Chopper, Police Magistrate

John Carr, a Chicago rough and driver
for Hartzell's stable, being full of bad
whisky, Saturday evening, thought he
would clean out" the town--and he begun
with his fellow hack men and express
drivers. First it was with VIM. Ramp,
runner for the Bellows House, then Mr.
ColclaZure, an innocent express wagon
man, came in for share, and then he in
suited two or three others. He was very
noisy and insulting at the Bellows House,
and Mr.. Charles Jarvis, the proprietor, re-
quested Deputy Marshal Kimball to arrest
him. Kimball "gobbled" him, land started.
When outside, Carr demanded to know
what he was arrested for. Come right
along" says Kimball, you'll be informed
in due time, and tie procession moved
on. In moment more Carr said "he'
be id if he'd GO Yes you will go, y
says Kimball, and that blacksmith's grip
moved ON with him. Policeman Ohrt,
who happened to be near, joined the pro
cession, and afterwards German came in
and did some pushing behind Carr
was locked up and had a good opportunity
for reflection over Sunday. He is the
same fellow who took possession of the U
5. Express wagons position at the upper
depot some days ago, and had fight about
that.
This morning he was very penitent, and
said he was drunk and didn't know what
be was doing. He was fined SIS and costs
for fighting, and $25 and costs for resisting
an officer, "a just sentence and one which
shows that Magistrate Chopper believes
that man should be accountable, when
sober, for what he does when drunk. W,
trust that that $50 job will have salutar,
influence, not only upon Carr but upon al
others who feel bclligerently inclined. -
John Mclaughlin was arrested by Pc
licemen Brennan and Mitsch for being al
accomplice of Smith, who stole the Goa
from AID. Woodruff. Nothing could b.
proved that could duplicate him but h
was fined so and costs under the vagran
act Sent to Jail.

REASONS WHY.-The reasons why Dr.
Prices True Flavoring Extracts, Lemon.
Vanilla, etc., are superior to all others is
because they are prepared from the
choicest selected fruits and aromatics,
without coloring or poisonous oils; that
all the havoring principles are retained un-
changed by chemical action, highly con
centrated, requiring less to flavor; that
there is no deception in bottles as they
hold one-half more than those sold for the
same size; that they are in every par
ticular like his celebrated Cream Baking

The reign of terror that exists in Viii

ton throughout the STATE, and the state
authorities will have to take some action
to exterminate the outlaws and muir
derers that infest that region. The repu-

mands that something be done at
once by the higher authorities, as it is
very evident the local powers are unable
to stop the murder and outIawry that tx
