A Bad Adviser,

1.-THE responsible editor with seven
years experience is a bad adviser, He
appears just now to be engaged in an at
tempt TO induce men to invest their money
where they will be sure to lose it. THE
ARGUS predicts that any nun who invests
money in the Rockford road at anything
more than nominal value for the road,
and without favorable arrangement for
Chicago business, will lose 1t. The road
never made cent in the world, as an in
dependent line, relying on southern bust
ness, and it never can. Any attempt &c
make it an independent, competing line
relying on st, Louis business for support
will cCd in failure and another funeral a
a very early day. THE ARGUS puts Thu
prediction on record for future reference

a Prediction About Lulu

An exchange says: Lulu has burst on
the horse world as star of the first magni-
tude, What may be her further capacity
remains to be seen. The history of trotting
has shown that these great trots have
always in successive races been beaten by
the same horses, and that generally the
speed can be increased from two to three
seconds. If so, and Lulu retains the turf
without accident, we may, before another
season, see her down to PIP before she
steps out as beaten by some other favorite
at 2:ll!."

NOTES HERE AND THERE

Special meeting of the city ossnoif to-
night at o'clock.
Forty eight arrests have been made by
the police force, SO far, this month.
From the estimates of C. III. Stod-
dard, city engineer the city now owes
Cowell 4 Co., $7702O-not counting their
bill of extras.
One Of the horses of Mr.. Robert John
son which run away yesterday was found
to have broken its left-fcre leg. 1t is in
charge by Geo. Langdell, who thinks he
can bring it out all right
Last evening Policeman Ankrum ar
rested and locked up man named Jane s
Magrue, from Peoria, on complaint OF
John Shields, who said the fellow had Of
ferred to sell him three brass castings, and
he believed they had been stolen. The
man acknowledged that he had stolen
them in Peoria and brought them to this
city to sell. The castings probably be-
long to the Peoria & Rock Island road
Magrue is still in Jail, and will remain
there until the prosecution is ready.
MIR. Tegeler is finding soft foundation
ground for his building on the corner OF
Washington and Orleans streets, and has
concluded to go down to the bed rock.
This will involve an expense of some $500
to $4,000 more than expected, and will
sink his foundation walls some six feet be-
low the bottom of his cellar 1t is per.
picking job, as the water fills the trenches
every night, That place was on the Dor:
ders of the old Turtle Harbor" region
and has been filled above the original bee
of the slough.
Yesterday afternoon mule team be
longing to Krack 4 Wohlenberg, of Dav
export, ran in that city, for the ferry land
ing, and as they were going down to tie
beat the driver slipped off in front, Oh tt,
tongue of the wagon, where he caugh
each mule by the tail and sailed IN to thu
boat, crashing into the delivery wagon o
Beiderbecke & Miller breaking the hin(
axle. Luckily this stopped the mules, o.
they would probably have run into thu
river on the outside of the ferry boat

Personal.

It will be source of painful regret to
the many friends of Capt. T. G. Martin
dale, of the Western Union Railroad, to
know that he is confined to his bed by
sickness, at his residence in Racine. His
health has been failing for the past six
months, his complaint being disorder of
the liver. For some time he has been
urged by his superintendent, Mr.. DIN, to
take a rest and recuperate, but he contin-
ued at his post until Saturday the 18th,
when he was obliged to give up. We hope
he may find relief from his malady.

Their Losses,

Messrs. Cowell & Co. publish half col
umn letter in the Union showing the err
rors committed by that paper, etc. They
state their loss on the job of lowering our
water pipes to be 81, 200-besides their bill
for extra work.
In connection with this matter we
would state that, this morning, we receiy-
ed, through the post Office. an anonymous
letter saying
Watch Stoddard on his measuring the
pipes. A divyy might shorten his chain. F."
Whether Engineer Charles II. Stoddard
could be Induced to favor Cowell & Co.,
or whether Cowell & Co. would resort to
bribery to make good their losses, we have
no evidence. If anybody has, or has rea-
sonable suspicious of that sort, it is their
duty to go before the city council and ask
for another measurement, to be publicly
made BY q committee.

Il Malicious Prosecution,

there is none now. The prosecution of r.

county,wa pure piece Of malice and pro-
fessional spite, having no foundation, and
was not actuated by any desire to promote
public. morals or public good The people S
taxes will be increased to pay the bills.
Capt. Peppers argument for the defense
is spoken of as one of his most brilliant
aud mastery efforts. He is distinguish
ed lawyer, in every sense of the word-a
wise counselor, profound lawyer ami a
brilliant and effective advocate. A letter
from our Alcdo correspondent will be
found in this paper, in regard to this case,
as we'll as other matters of interest.

Takes It Back.

Yesterday, the Gazette said the c. r. l.
Il ?, r. R. wasn't going to take any more
cars over the bridge for the Rockford road.
To day the Gazette takes it back, thusly:
The Rockford road is not prohibited
from the use of the railroad bridge, as
might have been inferred from the item
in the issue of yesterday. Under the for
mer management the Rockford freight
cars were transferred by the G. r. !. & P.
at so much per Jumped" as it
were but now they will be allowed the use
of the bridge at the rate of s. per car.
And any other line that wishes the use of
the railroad bridge can have itop the same
terms,

The Victory of Lula.
From ne v. Y. W0rlH.

The Wet ~ Of the young mare, Lulu, on
Saturday, over Goldsmith Maid. alter
struggle recalling the races some fifteen
years ago between Flora Temple ard Prin-
cess or Patchen, is gratifying to everybody
who takes any honest interest in the trot-
ting turf A few days before. the victor
had in a genuine race made time almost as
fast as that Of her rival when the latter
had enjoyed all the aids given to the Sc
lected winner in 'hippodroming" exhib-
ition. 1t is to the advantage of the trot-
ting turf that the combination which has
controlled for some years all very fast and
famous horses in the country should be
brokenlup. "Hippodroming" has had quite
as much as fraud to do with the decadence
of trotting IN the metropolitan district and
at the great cities outside. With such
horses as Lulu, Bodine, Red Cloud and
dozen others that night be mentioned on
the track, there is no reason why there
should not oe as keen and honest contests
among trotters as among runners, with
varying results and fast time legitinrately
made, The "hippodrouing" ring has for
some years pas: been enormously paid to
disgust the trotting associations and deceive
the public,

he is Detected, Arrested and Re-
leased.
The People think He should have been
Held.

Late yesterday afternoon a young man
entered the store Of Mrs McGreggor, on
Illinois street, and selected small shell box,
price 80 cents, and wallet, price IS cents,
looked at them awhile and then passed out.
He then went into Jenny McCorkindale's
store. where young girl was in charge, and
selected lady's hat, price $l.75, offering in
payment U. s. treasury note-a green
back-but it was declined, the young lady
having been instructed not to change any
money during the absence of Miss No
Corkindale. He then returned to Mrs Nc
GreggOr's and said he would take the box
and wallet, offering the $40 greenback. A
little boy IN attendance was sent to Blan-
chard & BaiIey's grocery store to get it
changed and returned with the announce
ment that the note was counterfeit
The mau seized the note and darted off in
great haste. DR.. Mason happened to be
along at Mrs McGregor's at that NOM
ent and learning the excitement he follow
ed the man up to Star block where he re-
manned sometime. After awhile he came
out and went down to the levee and around
to the post office; then started down to-
wards the ferry boat, but was arrested by
Policeman Ankrum and DIR. Mason and
taken to the city marshaps office and
searched. He gave his name as j. W. S.
Horne, dry goods dealer in Moline The
500 counterfeit greenback was found on
his person, also 40 cents in change. He
admitted that he knew the note was coun-
terfeit; said he took i. the day previous,
from lady who said she lived in Rock
Island; that he afterwards offered it in
the First National Bank. in Moline, and
Mr.. Gilmore the cashier. told him it was
counterfeit; that he then came to Rock
Island to fnd the woman who passed it on
him, but failing to do so he thought he
would try and get rid of it. He admitted
having offeredit at Miss McCorkindales and
at Mrs McGreggor's; said he knew it was
wrong; was greatly alarmed; sweat pro
fusely; asked if he couldn't be admitted
to ball. said he would never do SO again
and wanted them to send for Mr.. Hart
zell, at the livery stable. Mr.. Hartzel
was sent for, and only said that he indenii
fed the man as doing business in Molin
and his name was said TO be Horne. Jus
then Marshal Halves came in. and on hear
ing the facts, said he would retain tn
counterfeit note and he could 60, for III
present; if any one wished him prescott
ed they could make formal complaint ant
he would be called for.
After the admission that he knew the not

do not think he should go UNPUBLISHED. An
