A Paid Fire Department.
To the Editors of The Argus.

To the Editors of The Argus.
As citizen feeling deep interest 10
the security and prosperity of our growing
city am prompted By the occurrence of
three iucendiary fires within the last week
to make suggestion to our city council,
which is deemed by many citizens as
worthy serious consideration. Won Id it
not add much to our advantage and securi-
ty to have a paid fire department? |
make the suggestion without the slightest
disparagement to our present efficient fire
department. because do not believe there
is more efficient volunteer fire depart
ment anywhere. took occasion recently
to examine into the system and working of
a small paid fire department in Covington,
KY, where they have our system of water
works. The record shows that no fire has
ever gotten ahead of them. The depart
ment was complete with FIVE hose houses,
with the usual hose carts and hose, and
sixteen men and six horses, with a system
of fire alarm boxes located in various
parts of the city, which, by a siugle touch
would give the alarm at all of the hose
houses and locate the fire at the same mo
ment A delay of more than one minute
after any alarm in getting out the hose
cart was sufficient cause tor the removal
of the firemeu. Surely if l6 men and
horses are sufficient for a city of 10000
inhabitants. would not the same number
do for Rock Island? OF course there are
always plenty of men standing around, at
fire, and the chief of the department
shon!d have police authority to require
their and and direct and control their ac-
ton. FIRE.

No Corrections Made.

In our issue of the 9th Of September,
the lie, of the Rock Island Union, that
Gov. Dorsheimer, had made no explana
ton of his mileage account, was fully and
triumphantly exposed and refuted The
Union has not made any correction CT its
falsehood
In our issue of Oct. I'd, the slur cast
uDon Wade Hampton, by the Moline Re
vteso, was answered by a quotation from
Gen. Hampton's speech which does honor
to him as good Union man. The RevieU
has not permitted its readers to see what
Gen. Hampton really did say.
And in our issue of Oct Sd, we fully
exposed, refuted and put down another OF
the Rock Island Union's lies this time
about Gov Vance, OF North Carolina,
showing that the language imputed to Gov.
Vance, by the Union, was the language OF
Bob IngersoIl, quoted by Vance in order
to show the animus of northern Radicals
towards the people of the south. The
Union has made no correction of its false
hoods.

Our people will have a rare treat to-
morrow evening at Darts hall, Miss
Lucille Western, one of tie most attrac-

will appear here as Lady Isabel Vane il

utal of Sept. Goth had the following con.
corning Miss Western:
Those who are familiar with the fas
cinating drama OF East Lynne, cannot
but connect Lucille Western with Its best
representations in this city. 1t was at the
old Pixies Opera House that she won her
first triumph as Lady Isabel Vane, and it
will not be forgotten that after long and
most successful engagement on one occas
ion she was honored with benefit by the
most critical theater goers of the city.
The play was East Lynne. and meyer was
the character of loving. doubling, erring
and repenting wife more forcibly depicted.
Miss Western has not lost her power for
the delineation of this powerful character
but in the play makes the audience her
own from the opening of the plot"

venien;ly located tn the Grand Central

An indisputable Recommendation OF this

there once become regular patrons there
after. Persons concentrating visiting or
passing through New York, or 10 attend
the centennial, will DO well to give the

THE Word "SoZoDoNT," which is
fast becoming household word. is derived
from the Greek. aud composed of two
words, Sozo and Odontes. ''Sozo" trans
lated, means to preserve, and "Odontes'

its name. For identifying and preserv-
