POLICE COURT
Before E.c.Cropper.,--Police Magistrate

Michael Curry, hailing from Iowa City,
but lately working near Milan, came to
town yesterday to spend esome $40. which
he had laid up. Late in the afternoon he
was so under the influence of benzine that
he fell into the river twice, but was pulled
out by the crowd that had collected. His
ducking didn't seem to sober him off very
much. for last evening he was on Illinois
street proclaiming his unadulterated De-
mocracy and telling everybody he met
about the corruption of the Republican
party, etc. ETC. Marshal HAYES thought
he could do more good among the Repub-
lican set now in jail-Rev. Ike Haley, Jim
Buckley and Honest Tim Riley-by telling
them how their Office holding friends de-
serted them in time of trouble, so, with
the assistance Of Charley Coyne, Mike
being overcome by what the marshal had
told him of Republican gratitude, he was
taken into their presence This morning
Magistrate Chopper thought he ought to
pay 50 and costs for the privileges he had
enjoyed. He paid up like a man, and
left.
The trial of John Cameron, who was ar.
rested yesterday afternoon for fighting at
Geo. Adler's saloon. was ended about 6
o'clock last evening. From the evidence
it was shown that he struck Healey on the
head with slung shot, inficting two ugly
cuts. He was fined IS for being drunk
and $40 for carrying concealed weapons.
No money. Sent back to jail

Hurricane and Hail Storm in Pleasant
Valley.


About or miles above this city and
on the Iowa side of the river is the town
ship of Pleasant Valley, where, on Satur-
day evening last, occurred fearful hurri-
cane and hail storm, over strip Of land
nearly mile wide and extending over a
mile northward from the river. 1t was at
the sunset hour. The clouds in the west
ern heavens, from horizon to zenith, were
made to present scene of splendor rarely
equalled in this region of magnificent sun
sets. But in the southeast a heavy cloud
was observed to rise from beyond the hills
back of Moline. Il moved with the rapid
ity of whirlwind, and as it came to a
point over the river, it was seen to drop
or rather it took the form of water spout,
large at the cloud and small over the river.
1t sent gale with a terrific hail storm
before it. And when it struck the Iowa
shore it had the fury of a hurricane. 1t
swept across the eastern portion of the
farm OF Mr.. Wright, the we'll known
gardener, bent some trees, levelled others,
played havoc with beds of vegetables, laid
fences low. and did much other damages
1t transformed barn on Judge Grants
place into large lumber pile, and threw
over his fences, and felled trees, and laid
fences low. Over the hills it sped, and for
half mile, threw over four barns on as
many farms, and played havoc in orchards.
1t spared the farm houses, and nobody
was hurt by it; but it injured growing
grain, fruit trees, and tracts of vegetables
to a large extent, The work of wind aad
hail was especially noticeable in vineyards
The vine supports were thrown down, and
the vine leaves and the grapes, knocked of
by hail. The grain in score of fields was
lodged and tangled in every way. In the
aggregate the storm wrought damage tc
the extent of thousands of dollars in Pleas
ant Valley township.

County Treasurer Porter sold. to-day, for
the state and local taxes due on the prop
erty, all that portion of the Rockford, Rock

1898 and the money was paid down and

We learn from the books that the taxes
were never so closely collected as this
year-a fact which speaks well for the ad-
ministration of Treasurer Porter. Ex-
cept appeals and personal property tax,
and only about $500 is left unsold, or with
out bidders, and this, of course, is knock
ed down to the state, and carried forward

onr colorsd Churches.


1t is manifestly to the interest of Rock
Island to encourage our colored people in
securing suitable places for religious SER
vices; to encourage their Sunday schools
and do everything necessary to help them
in their moral and educational efforts, in
order that they may lead reputable lives,
and become good members of society. If
Rock Island feels no interest in their
happiness in the future world, it is certain
ly to the interest Of every property holder
and every citizen that our colored popula-
ton should be reared to habits of industry
and morality-the good of society demands
that. Aud there is no way that this can
be so effectually done as by encouraging
their religious organizations.
There are two colored religious societies
in the city-the Christian,o or Complexities,
as they are sometimes called. They have
house of worship, on Deer street, be-
tween Illinois street and the river. Rev.
jackson Blackburn is their pastor.
The other society, and the one we want
to call especial attention TO. now, is the
Second Baptist, of which Rev. Ben. R,
Hawkins is pastor. Many of our people
seem not to be aware that we have two
societies and we want to impress them with
this fact, and that it is public duty to
encourage the society organizations of
these people.
Mr.. Hawkins and his society have pur-
chased lot of ground of Mr. Gest, on the
corner of Exchange and Canal streets, 70
by 80 in size, for $500, and have paid $25
towards it. On the lot is frame build
ing, erected for carpenters shop, which
they propose to finish into church, and
MIR. Hawkins is now soliciting aid from
our citizens to he p them pay for the lot
and put the frame building in condition tc
use for church purposes.
The trustees of the society are as fol
lows: Charles Wilson, who lives on the
Milan road; Thomas Clark, who lives OF
Orleans street, near the glass works; an(
James Lane, who lives with Sandy Terry
a deacon Of the same church, on Orlean
street. Mr.. Hawkins resides in one of Mr.
Streckfus's houses, on Rock River street
between Exchange and Ohio. We ar
thus particular In this statement in orde
to show our people that there seems to b
no doubt about the commences of the SC
ciety.
MIR. Hawkins says they have oyer 2
communicate members and quite larg
attendance on their meetings, which ar
now held in the Mission House, corner o
Ohio and Canal streets. He is now goin
about town with his book asking aid, an
we hope he may be successful in raisin
enough to pay for the lot and put tn
J house in condition to use.

will show that the society deserves all tn

Patent Insides,

A lot of impecunious dead-heads, who
publish patent insides at various unneces-

having formed mutual admiration society
called the illinois Press Association y
having had their usual annual free lunch
and free ride, the country dead-beats of
other states are following suit. From a
letter dated at Milwaukee and published
in Chicago paper, we clip the following:
A LOT OF EDITORIAL DEAD-BEATs.
A band OF organized dead-beats under the name
Of the Wisconsin Editorial Association met In this
city on Tuesda last for the annual blowout and
to psrtake of the free lunches and the other free
things that generous city might provide for them.
As far as numbers are concerned the meeting was a
dead failure, only 43 of the $50 editors Of the
state outside of Milwaukee present. and those
that did come, with few exceptions, the little
pig headed fellowship thin spaces-iu the bust
ness The RALLY able men in the profession like
Col. Robinson Gen. Utley, Gen, Allen, Sam Ryan,
Hon. A. j. Turner, Col. Watrous, j. U. Culver and
kins, Of the Nsl0s, and Cramer, Of the Wisconsin,.
gave 1t the cold shoulder from first TO last.
This is the class of editors who, when
they 60 to hotel, register their names as
editor, publisher, or in some manner connec
ted with some newspaper. In every such
case it is safe to say that the man is q
dead-beat and wants to sponge his bill.
Intelligent landlords and transportation
men know that this sort of people can dc
them or their business no good or hurt, and
they are looked upon everywhere as dead
beats. Editors Of reputable or Influential
newspapers never resort to this sort o.
