Unlawful Use of Fire Works. Etc

Rock Island has escaped confagration,
this year, from the fire works nuisance
probably because of the heavy rain Satur-
day morning. But, not year has passed
in century but has been marked by fire
or shocking accident somewhere, from the
use of powder on the anniversary of Am
erlcan Independence. Everybody who
violated the following section of an ordin-
ance in regard to offences affecting public
safety is liable to fine. The section is
found on page 26S, of ordinances, as fol-
lows:
SECTION l. No person shall, within the
limits of this city. fire or discharge any
cannon, gun, fowling piece, pistol or fire.
arms of any description, nor any air gun,
except in the performance of public or
lawful act or duty; or fire, explode or set
off any squib. cracker or any other thing
containing powder or other combustible or
explosive material, without permission
had in writing from the mayor, or lin his
absences) from some two members of the
Icity council; which permission shall limit
the time of said firing, and shall be subject
to be revoked by the mayor OF
city council at any time after it has been
granted. Any violation of this section
shall subject the party offending, upon
conviction, to fine of not more than
twenty. five dollars nor less than five dol
lars for each and every offense.
The mayors of many cities issued pro
CARNATIONS beforehand, notifying the PEG
pie that their ordinances on that subjec
would be strictly enforced. 1t was no
necessary to do SO, as their ordinances arr
in force, at all times, but it was we'll to d.
so, as a matter of notice. We hope tn,
future mayors of Rock Island will issu,
such notice every year, in the future, ant
thus cut off one chance ofconAagration ant
accident.

1.-THE Fourth of July Nuisance, .

Under the above heading will be found,
in this paper, an article from the N. Y.
World, published just before our late In.
dependence Day, deprecating the absurd
manner in which the American people con.
tinue to celebrate the Fourth of July.
We copy the article in the hope that il
may aid in arresting the usual crop of
murders, manning and fires another year
That the American people should con-
tinue to celebrate the establishment of q
Republican government by the firing Of
cannon, the explosion Of fire works, the
banging of drums and the blowing Of
horns is not creditable to our civilization
For grown up men and women there are
more sensible and intellectual modes Of
rejoicing or commemorating the event; and
for children there are more innocent and
happy modes of recreation. Lectures
orations, study of our history, instruc
ton in the principles of home government
joined with pleasant pic MICS in the groves
excursions, social meetings, dances, anG
such innocent games and plays as make
all happy without danger to life and limb
or the chances Of conAagrations. Banisl
powder in all its forms-have no cannon
no guns, no pistols, fire crackers, or bray
ing horns or banging drums. This would
certainly be evidence of higher ant
more useful civilization.

The 4th in Andalusia.
TO the Editors of The Argus;

TO the Editors of The Argus;
For nearly two weeks past enthusiasm
has run high in our usually very quiet lit
tie village, over the prospect of a grand
celebration ofthe anniversary of our ma
tional birthday, which was to be observed
on the Sd. as we are Sabbath keeping
people. For several days committees
have been hard at work and everything
was in order to have good time" But
that storm! 0 how it..did rain! The morn
ing saw long faces on our streets, and ex-
pectation had hid behind the cloud.
Our citizens had, happily, secured the SER
vices of the Davenport Light Guard Band.
They are boys of pluck, and regardless of
the rain, they made their way to our vii
lage, and with their advent the sun began
to look around the edges of the clouds to
see what Andalusia was about to do. Noon
found the sky clear, and the ground rapid
| ly drying. Teams from the country be-
gan to arrive, and hope began to revive.
The new flag foated graudly from the lib
erty pole. The news few, well have a
celebration yet. At 100 P. NJ. the band
led the way to the beautiful little grove in
the west part of town. and the people were
not slow to follow the patriotic strains. An
invocation was offered by Rev. Mr.. Camp
bell. Mr.. j. Buffman presided. The
Declaration OF Independence was read by
Prof Ayers, principal of our public school.
Mr.. j. J. Parks, of Rock Island, the
elected orator Of the day, then appeared
on the platform and, in well chosen words
ftly spoken. sketched the ahistory of our
country ab ovo, Mr. Parks urged the
necessity of more thorough political edu-
cation Of the masses. | shall not attempt
even an epitome Of his speech, -suffce it
to say it was worthy the occasion, and |
venture to predict that this is not the last
independence Grafton that Mr., Parks will
be solicited to deliver unless life is cut
short.
After the patriotism of the listening as
sembly had been stirred afresh by the
clear notes of the band, several impromptu
speeches were made, at the call of the
people. Among them was l.. Rabbit,
aged so years, who fought in the battles
of 1912, and is willing to fight for his
country and the flag now" if needed.
Fire works was the excitement of the
evening. Very prudently, the committee
had arranged stand upon the river
, which enabled them to make safe, and
brilliant display. The band was stationed
upon another float. The large concourse
Of people on the bank looked and listened
Notwithstanding the youthtulness O.
Light Guard Band" the music was wei
discoursed, and the people say Its ;
good thing we had the band" With al
the excitement of the day, proper decorun
was neither forgotten, nor laid aside. ",

Among the many guests at the Harper
House, over Sunday, was Hon. Joseph
Ristine, of CovingtoD, Indiana. Judge
Ristine was elected state auditor of Indi-
ana in 1862, on the Democratic ticket, and
has since been circuit Judge of the district
where he resides. He has been a leading
man in the state for many years. A
brother of his. who served in the Black
Hawk war, died of cholera on the Island of
Rock Island in 1882 Judge Ristine took
drive over the Arsenal grounds and was
greatly pleased with what he saw, and he
hopes that congress will adhere to and full.

Serious Stabbing Affair in Henry
County.

Last. Saturday, at the celebration at
Cleveland, Henry county, young man
named John Smith stabbed another named
Oscar Hamberstone, twice, in the lett
breast near the heart and once in the hand,
inhicting wounds from which it is thought
he will die. Smith was with difficulty
saved from being lynched, but was at last
placed in the calaboose at Cleveland. Sum
day his uncle, VIM. Smith, we'll known
in this country and Henry as a large stock
dealer, signed bond for $1,000 for the
appearance of John at the examination.
The ARRAY is said to have grown out of g
love affair. Hamberstone was waiting on
sister ln-law of Smith, which displeased
the latter, and he had threatened to kill
Hamberstone if he did not cease his atten-
tons to the lady, They met at the cele
bration, H. being with the young lady
when Smith dared him to fight, and on H
refusing, said ''I'll cut your id heart
out them" and stabbed him, as stated.
The examination of Smith will not take
place until the result of HIS injuries are
learned. Both men were sober.

SeVerai pic mes. puOnc ana private, and
a firemens' dance, comprise the Fourth of
July observances in Rock Island. The
banks and very few business houses
closed on Saturday. A very few flags
were hoisted: good many FIRE crackers
exploded. and on Saturday evening there
was cheap display Of fire works. chiefly
distinguished for firing squibs into back
yards and places where, except for the
wet state Of the ground, fire might easily
have been produced. Strong drink was
freely imbibed, and several saloon rows
and some blows were the result.
