nership with John Wixon.
p4rThere is an universal query about
that Rodman avenue switch.
10~The talk of the town-the great
Democratic meeting of Tuesday evening.
H4~ The ARGUS can be had at Glen
denim d Martins post Office drug store
every evening.
HaH Durham made many votes here by
his clear, candid and argumentative hand

ahead OF his ticket in this town.
B9The boy (Dow) who was injured by
falling from shed on Sunday last. dis
| locating his arm and otherwise iniuring
himself, is better. DR.. G. Piper is in at
tendance.
| 1ar The work of re-arranging the streets
and numbering the houses, as sug-
ges'ed by The ARGUS and ordered
| by the council, has already begun. Mo
line is fast becoming metropolitanized.
H9~ Maroni Wheeler says he did not
draw pistol but that he put his hand in
his pocket as If to draw one and Harwood
SAID " ou carry arms do you?" to which
Wheeler replied yes, and intenu to
use them" This, with the side blow, and

there was to the affair. Next!
gsas@ Alternately" in the Union, evi-
IDENTIFY feels sore over the work accom-
plished by Capt Eric johnson. Altogeth-
er, the meeting on Tuesday last worries
The Repu blicans amazingly fhey feel
discouraged and those who were 50 anxious,
you know" to bet on 6O0 majority ale

Sas> The Pleasant Valley road is not
likely to be opened this fall. Yesterday
the damages due the Hunt heirs were
paid and deed of the land through which
the road will pass duly transferred to the
highway commissioners, but this don't set
tie the matter, for now comes the Matte
lson heirs and give notice of an appeal
which practically kills the measure for tht
present ANYHOW. What next?
H9~The Freja band will give grand
ball at Freja hall, Saturday, Oct.
l4th. This is one of the finest organiza
tions in the three cities and should be en-
) couraged by all who desire to have goo(
band sustained Prof. Skogh. the abl,
leader, has labored hard to bring bis bauC
up to his it's present high standard an,
should be literally aided by the citizen
: generally.
q BaFThe Union does not attempt to den
the charges m~de in THE ARGUS las
night of the outrageous conduct of som
parties here who tried to interfere with tn
, Democratic meeting on Tuesday evening
but, instead, seeks to attract attention frou
= them by miserable attempt at ridicule.
. is,of course. perfectly natural for that shee
= to endorse anv and all acts of an indecen
!, nature, and when it attempts to de end tn
h creatures who perpetrated the despicabl
tricks it is only following a we'll establishe
4, rule with the Anti Hawley- Haverstir
- clique. Calumny is the Unions best hole
= and although, secretly, the Republican
: here are feeling the effects of the rapi
inroads into their already thinned ranks
they hope to deceive the people by playiu
l. the game of bluff Ii wont work, hov
i" ever; the people who read wont be decei'
= ed, and fair minded Republicans acknow
d edge that the demonstration cn Tuesds
{ night was a grand success.
BgThe following extract from the CT
cago Times, written by one of the mo
|
shows how the Union will lie about Dem
cratic meetirgs 1t B. F. Tillinghast,
the Reuieao. who is the correspondent
. the Times, will place such a rept
~ before the people, there must be go
AZ grou cd back of it, for he would not publ
