That License.

How often is the old saying illustrated,
that fools rush in where angels fear to
tread" City Clerk Reed seems to fad a
ready apoloGist for his ignorance and in
capacity in Sunday mornings Union. In
the first place City Clerk Reed has no
authority for issuing licenses; but, sup.
posing that next to the mayor he was the
biggest man in town, and having assumed
the functions of mayor and issued license
to Mr.. Creigh to sell carriages at public
cutlery, he should have protected that
gentleman against the Vaccinations of
other auctioneers who seek their little
commissions:off these strange dealers. as is
their right. When Mr.. Creigh applied
for his license he told the city clerk that
he wanted license to sell at public
auction. The city clerk hunted about
the Office, and finally made out peddler's
license. Mr.. Creigh told him that would
not do-that he wanted to sell at public
auction, that he did not peddle. The city
clerk looked again and then wrote across
the face of the license, with permission
to sell carriages for one day at public out
cry" Mr.. Creigh paid all that was de-
manded and went his way. 1t was not bis
business to read ordinances or question
the price; he asked for what he wanted
and supposed he had got it; and, what
makes it more binding on the city clerk,
Mr.. Creigh can prove all his transactions
as above stated. Furthermore, as some Of
the city clerks wise apologists, on Saturday
seemed to know so much about the English
language, The ARGUS will suggest to them
that the oKly definition given to public
outcry." when applied to the selling of ar
ticles, is "a public auction" 10 view o.
these facts. Mr.. Creigh was justified il
saying he was robbed. Won't some one
else come to the rescue of the gentleman
who is more oficious than wise?

Health ON q sura Basis.

In order to establish health on a sure
basis, the enfeebled system must acquire
additional vigor. And yet, patent as this
fact is, and widely known as it is, too many
people neglect this vital point in the self
treatment Of disease. and physicians are
very often equally remiss, resorting to the
use of palliatives which affect symptoms
only. and fail to accomplish the chief end
in view, which is, or should be, inuigora.
ton. The main reason why Hostetters
Stomach Bitters are so successful in over
coming disease is that they impart vitality
where it is deficient, and thus build up
superstructure for exhausted nature to
recuperate upon. The Bitters also i'm
prove the appetite, soothe the nervous
system when ver-strained, and are
genial and agreeable medicinal stimulapt,
with basis of pure spirits holding in So
luton botanic elements of the greatest
efficacy.

Father Roles to be Transferred to
Chicago.

The many friends and acquaintance of
Rev. Joseph P, Roles, of st. Joseph's
church, of all denominations, will regret to
learn that he has been transferred by his
Bishopto st. Mary's church, en- Wabash
avenue, Chicago. Although our citizens,
and especially his Pensioners, will regret
this change, still all will be pleased to know
that his rare culture and ability, second to
none 10 the state, has been recognized by
the bishop. and that he will take charge of
one of the largest congregations and finest
churches in Chicago. During his eight
years labor in this city he has endeared
himself to all who came in contact with
him. Leaving out any mention of the
simplicity of his life or the Christian gen.
erosities of the man, we have simply to
refer to the fact that he has performed more
for his church and given greater evidence
of his financial ability than any priest who
has heretofore lived in Rock Island. At
first, the pastor of St. Mary's, he pur-
chased larger church and established the
present parsonage aud house of worship of
St. Joseph. Besides this, he established
churches at Moline. Presumption, EdgiDg-
ton and other places, all of which are 10 a
hourishing condition.
Father Roles was born in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. His early experience would seem
to have designed him for a sea- faring life,
his people, for generations, being all
engaged in traffic upon the high seas. A
strong religious bias, derived. probably,
from his mother, determined him to the
church. He was educated for the ministry
in France, and returning to our western
| frontier spent some gears endeavoriDg, like
the Fathers of old, to reclaim the northern
savages from their original condition Of
barbarism. The church, recognizing bis
rare ability, translated him to Chicago, q
sphere where his experience and large
capabilities soon recommended him to g
very prominent position, making him one
OF the leading clergymen in that city before
the great fire there. 1t is said some diff.
ference of opinion between him and BishoE
Duggan relegated him to the rustic prov
ince of Rock Island. In Christian spill
he accepted this arrangement, aud sine,
his arrival here he has raised his churcl
from one of second Importance to that o
the greatest in our community.
In parting with Father Roles we ar
F conscious that we lose a cultured gentle
man, generous friend of all who are IN
, fortunate. and man who, were he il
secular life, would not want for the highes
{ compliment a grateful people could rende
him,

An Elevator falls and a boy Has His
Right Leg Broken

Last evening, while John Cahl, boy
about u years of age, and son of Alfred
Gail, was playing abont the new school
house, on the sunny side of the slough, the
platform of an elevator, used 10 carrying
brick and mortar up to the workmen, sud

was knocked down, and in some manner
one of the timbers of the platform struck
and broke his right leg between the ankle
and knee. He was carried hone. and DR..
Craig called, who reduced the fracture.
He says the boy is also injured internally,
but thinks he will recover. 1t was a very

THE OUTRAGEOUS swINDLIHG OF
THE OFFICERS OF THE STATE
SAVINGS BANK.
Brigha1nIY oung's Funeral.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2,-The deeper the in
vestigators go into the accounts of the
State Savings institution, the more patent
does it become that Its officers have system
tematically plundered its Is, 900 depositors,
and left them 100000 instead of less
than $3,O00,O0O, and that sum not really
convertible into cash. Neither Spencer,
Guild nor Bulkley have been heard from,
bat rumor comes from New York appa-
rently well authenticated, that Spencer
Wisconsin, of the Guion Line, for Liver
pool on the same Tuesday that the bank
passed into the hands OF an assignee.
Spencer's strange acts are worthy of brief
record He formally held stock in the
Cook County National Bank and was con-
nected with it before its failure. He got
out of that bank, borrowed money and
gave in lieu thereof his note to the bank
and with the proceeds bought enough
shares in the State Savings to become the
principal stakeholder. He then borrowed
nearly 100000 from the State Savings to
| liquidate his matured notes of the Cook
county bank and gave his note to the
State Savings for that amount. Finally he
gave the State enough shares of stock to
| liquidate his matured note to that institu-
tition and called himself square with the
world, The books are full of crooked
transactions and there is hardly a day
when the assistant cashier did not force q
balance to indicate that the bank had
more money than it really had. Yet in al
dealings the form of law seems to have
been observed and it is doubtful if the
offense is an indictable crime. All Other
banks are doing about their usual amount
OF business to-day,
CHICAGO, Sept. 2-The advisory com
mlttee in the state Savings Bank matter
had consultation to-day with reference
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of sending a detective
after Spencer. No conclusion was arrived
at. though it is thought they will make ar
effort to get him back.

The Proposed New Camp Meeting
Ground,

Ground.
On Saturday evening, accepting an in
vitation from Mr.. P. l.. Gable, party of
about 20 gentlemen from this city and
Milan, went out by special train to take a
look at the proposed site of the new camp
meeting ground near Black Hawk station,
on the Mercer county road. The pro-
posed ground comprises 90 acres-l0 of
which arein Turkey Hollow and would make
an excellent place for teams, etc., while
the other 10 acres are on the bluff to the
west, which is covered by a grove Of
young, growing oak timber. The land be-
longs to Mr.. Vim. Miller. All the gentle
men expressed themselves as being highly
pleased with the appearance of the place.
on account of its spring of neYer-failing
water. its shade, and the convenience
by which it could be reached,
While returning home Mr.. Gable made
a proposition to the party, through Mr.. G..
Fl. Stoddard, Offering to carry a picnic
party from the three cities to and from the
grounds. free. at any time they choose, as
he wishes the persons interested in the old
grounds and people generally to visit and
inspect the new site.
There is no doubt but what, if the
grounds were moved, it would be grea
accommodation not only to the people
generally but to the tent-holders at thu
old ground, who would, in the long run
save money by the change.
