Aquatic Sports, Boat Clubs, &c.

Those Of our citizens who feel an inter-
est in boating, yachting, and regattas will
fnd an excellent article on that subject in
the August number of Ha,per's Weekly.
Ofall out Of door, hardy, summer exer-
else, we know of none more exciting, or
agreeable, than rowing or sailing a small
craft upon the silvery waters of our lakes
and rivers, and the only surprise is that it
has not received more public attention aud
been more generally pursued by pleasure
seekers, than up to the present time, is
the case.
The subject is rapidly growing in popu-
lar favor in various portions of the country,
and We know Of no raeson why Rock Island
spirit and enterprise should lag behind.
Some steps have been already taken in
this direction, and it is TO be hoped that
these efforts may result 10 a permanent
organization, and prove both pleasureable
to the parties interested and creditable to
the good name of our city. Once more we
commend persual Of the article on this
subject in Harper's Weekly, August

The "Boss" Wagon.

B. D. Buford & Co. have the ''boss"
wagon ever seen in this meek of the

the company's shops-and every piece of

The Republican Nominee for Circuit
Judge,


The Republicans held regular party
convention at Galya yesterday and made a
regular party nomination for Judge in this
Judicial Circuit. j. j. Glenn of Warren,
is their nominee, becoming such on the
third formal ballot.
The Un,oD says: The wisdom of the
selection made,cannot be questioned, and
the nominee of the convention will be
supported, not only by Republicans
generally in every county in the district,
but by all fair minded, intelligent men
who are interested in an able and up
right judiciary"
If the Union had said that the wisdom
of the selection IN a party sense could not
be questioned, no one would have OBJ
jected 10 the remark, or at least no one
outside of the Republican party would
have questioned that party's wisdom,
power, intelligence, or greatness.
If intelligent and fair minded men of all
parties and without regard to party had
been gathered together at Galva and made
a nomination, then it would have been
reasonable to suppose their choice would
receive the support of the intelligent
class whom they had represented, but to
say that strictly party nomination will
command not only the hearty support of
the party, but of all fair minded intelli-
gent men who are interested in an able
and upright judiciary, is. to say the least,
not creditable to the writer's judgment or
common sense. Noinconsiderable portion
of the Republicans of the district have
denied the wisdom of making party
nomination at all for Circuit Judge: in the
face of this, to say the wisdom of the
choice cannot be questioned, and that
strictly party nomination will command
the support of all the intelligence Of the
district is but another and a disguised
form of the old pretension that the Re-
publican party has all the intelligence,
virtue and decency there is in the country,
Call the proceeding at Galva just what it
is, namely, a strict party nomination. as
much 80 as any ever made, and then say
that it has claims to support from the
party the same as any other Of its NOM
nations. and no one will care to controvert
the point; but to say that the nomination
Of this one political party is 80 superior to
any other that can be made that it will
draw to it, not only a full party support,
but also all the intelligence outside, is
cheek and assumption par excellence.

INSURANCE swINpLE.
The Universal Life Insurance Comp,

The auditor has received the detailed re-
port OF the superintendent of the New York
Insurance department of the examination
of the Universal Life Insurance COMPANY.
and it furnishes curious reading for those
interested in the management of such
institutions. Where the company in their
sworn statement show they have a surplus
as regards policy-holders Of half million
the examiner fnds there is deficiency of
more than a million; while the rerort
shows some $4,000 on hand, the exami-
ner failed to find a penny, but on the
contrary the cash book showed the com
pany Indebted for money borrowed to paw
officers salaries to the extent of $50, 900.
There we're unpaid losses amounting to
SlSl ,257.5O, instead of $4,000, as given.
The character OF the assets is shown by the
fact that the cash book shows but $50, 900
Tor interest received on that amazing array
OF bonds, stocks and mortgages aggresa-
ting $3,0O0,000," and which the sworn
statement says produced an income of
SOO'OVO and some odd dollars. The re-
port ali the way the examiner thought
shows that but little, if any, dependence
can be placed upon the sworn; statement
OF insurance reports.

Failure of the State Bank at Des

closed that morning. While the announce.
ment will probably cause surprise among
many, it is said business men were gener-

1t further says that the failure of B. F.
Allen the former great banker OF Des

tion of the State Bank, 10 which it changed
from national bank to a private bank,
with Capt. f. r. West and son S as owners.
At an interview with one of the firm the
statement was made that is was a plain
faiIure. They decline to state any particu
lars, saying that they meant to make no
promises whatever, but that every dollar
o! private property with the assets of the
bank would be turned over to meet the
liabilities

element had spread; he learned that there
were no indications of distruSt at all else.
