MOLINE.

Four boys were arrested yesterday after
noon, by Officers Olsen and Wells, under
what they considered suspicious circum-
stances. They were taken before Magis-
trate Swander, who gave them severe
lecture and ordered them to return home.
They claimed to be runaways from home,
and gave their names as Robert Bailey,
Daniel Kelly, James Kerrigan and Cary
Allen, of La Sale. They were a hard
looking set.

USING MAsoNRYroR ELECTION.
EERINQ PURPOSES.
None But Rascals DO It.

It will be sorry day for this country |
when the people generally come to believe
that the influence of secret societies is o |
can be used in politics, in the courts. or in
business to aid member of such society |
When mems votes at elections, or action
on juries, or on the bench, or in business
transactions are governed by their secret
order preferences there is danger to So
ciety, danger to the perpetuity of govern
ment. We we'll remember the whirlwind
of excitement and the powerful political
revolution which swept over all the east
ern states in the days of Anti-masonry.
People generally believed that Masons
were bound by their oath to stick by one
another right or wrong, and that, in the
jury box or at the ballot box. they stood
by one another anyhow. So powerful was
the torrent of indignation that every Ma
sonic lodge in Vermont surrendered its
charter There was much of ill-founded
prejudice in the action of the people--but
there was enough in the action of some
oYer-zealous or corrupt members to give
cause for the beginning, and when the fire
was set it had to burn over the whole
land. It made VIM. H. Seward governor.
and it swept away all old party organiza-
tons,
Some of Cleavelands friends are at
tempting to use Masonry to help him, not
withstanding they know Sam Porter IS
also q Mason We have heard of the eff
forts they are making, in various quarters,
among the brotherhood, attempting to
combine all Masons on Cleaveland. They
can not do tin fact their efforts seem
to be having an effect quite contrary to
their expectations. Every Mason knows
that the attempt to use Masonry to aid
any man politically, is positively and in
the strongest terms forbidden, and all good
and honorable Masons say that any broth
er who attempts to use Masonry in aid o.
a brother, in the courts, in business. or in
politics, is rascal. The fact that they
are trying to use it for Cleavelands bene
fit shows that he does not disapprove of it
and therefore all Masons, who have thu
good of the order at heart, will take gool
care to put stop to any such base use o
their order.
Cleaveland is a kind of parade Masol
who makes show of his membership
and his friends hope to catch Masoni
votes for him in that way.
Porter IS also Mason, but quiet, I'm
obtrusive, conscientious member VIII
would scorn to speak Of or allude to tn
fact that he is Mason for the purpose O
securing aid or sympathy in anything for
eign to the objects of the order, of whicl
he is most exemplary member. Mason
ry shonld cut no figure in the contest-bu
since Cleaveland's friends have attempte
to use it for his benefit it is quite probabl
they will be rebuked for it in a way littl

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 'Decalcomauie. u
When the method was first discovered
high prices were CHARGED for the transfer
pictures, and also for teac hing the art. SC
that few could afford to purchase. Recent

rates so that now these ictures may be
obtained at comparatively low cost j. L.

The Stage.

The fate of even brilliant actors is often
extremely sad The world will never tire
of reading of how poor Mrs. Siddons,
driven from the London boards by a failure
that was not her fault, tramped about over
the country for years, till at last she had
another chance at Drury Lane; and then,
supported by Smith, Palmer, and Farren,
she won the most brilliant success, and
then went home to plain supper. her old
father shedding tears of joy as he sat at
the table too delighted to eat Edmund
Keane, an unknown youth, acted at Dor
chester one rainy night to house almost
empty, but reused himself to the utmost

men 10 the boxes listened in silence, but
when the play was over invited him to
breakfast the next morning, and staggered
him by saying: MY name is Arnold;
am the manager of the Drury Lane Thea
tre" On the boards at London he was
ridiculed by all the actors because he was
so small; but he put so much genius into
his performance that before he finished
the first act he had triumphed Garrick
acted in an unlicensed theatre at the East
End of London one night. He was short
of stature. and his name was not given.
When he came on the stage the sight of
the audience disconnected him, In few
minutes he recovered and was Richard
himself All the tremendous passions of
the lusty, savage monarch swayed his
body and appeared in his face; but the
audience hestated till when after dismis-
sing the deputation, he flung away the
prayer-book; then the whole house burst
into rapturous applause. From that mo-
ment his star suffered no eclipse.

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

The arrest of Adolph Cartel, jewelry
peddler, for alleged attempted rape upon
the person of Mrs. Mary Thurman. wife
of August Fl. Thurman, was noticed in
last evenings ARGUS. After our paper
was published the examination took place.
Fearing that he could not be held on the
charge of rape, Deputy Marshal Kimball
made two other charges -one for peddling
without liceuse, the lowest fine for which
is $40; and one for disorderly conduct, the
lowest fine for which is SIN order that
the fellow should not get off without some
kind of punishment.
Cartel employed Maj. Connolly, of the
law firm of Connolly & McNeal, to defend
him, and States Atty Parmenter appear
ed for the people, on the rape charge.
Maj. Connolly claimed that the charge
of rape or attempted rape could not be
sustained as no preteEse Of force could be
shown. MIR. Parmenter therefore withdrew
the charge and that vas the end of that
matter.
Maj. Connolly then claimed that he
could not be fined for pedd!ing without
license, as no evidence could be produced
that he had sold anything; and that the
disorderiy conduct charge could not be sus-
tanned because there was no disorder or
disturbance whatever. According to Mrs.
Fuhrman's testimony they went into the
house together; she sat in his lap; he
kissed and Rugged her and made improper
proposals to her. She was alarmed, and
to get rid of him, told him to come at 10
o'clock next day After he had gone she
followed and had him arrested 1t was
not attempted rape because there was no
force used. Nor was it disorderly conduct
because there was no disorder or disturb
ance.
Maj Connolly said he felt confident, il
the case was contested. that his client
would be aquitted, but for his improper con-
duct he, perhaps, ought to receive some pun
ishment, and he was willing the city should
select one of the two charges against him
and they would plead guilty on it and the
other should be withdrawn. Mr., Kimbal
then selected the one for peddling without
license as the lowest fine on that was $40,
while the lowest on the other was only S.
And thus the matter ended by fine OIL
$40 and costs, which was paid.

Forty-Eight;Years ago.

The Galena Gazette publishes an inter
esting letter, dated at "Galena, Fever
River, Lead Mines. Upper Mississippi,
supposed to be in Illinois," Nov. Goth
1927. 1t was written by the late DR.. II.
Fl. Newhall, who is remembered by the
old settlers of this region. He travelled
on the river from New Orleans to Galena,
that year, and he says: ''Of all the
places in the United States which l have
seen, Rock Island. at the upper rapids Of
the Mississippi, is, by far the most beauti-
full. Fort Armstrong is on this island. ?"
Speaking Of the Galena region, he says:
1.-THE appearance of the country would
convince any one that it must be healthy,
yet the last season it was more sickly than
Havana or New Orleans. There is no
civil law here, nor has the gospel been yet
introduced, or, to make use of a common
phrase here, neither law nor gospel can
pass the rapids of the Mississippi!' The
country is one immense prairie, from the
Rock river on the south to the Ouiskonsir
on the north, and from the Mississippi on
the west to Lake Michigan on the east. y
The upper rapids had bad reputation il
those days. Here is postscript of the
letter:
DECEMBER, Z, 1927,
