YOUNG TRAMPs.

1t has become no unusual event for rail-
road men to find the empty box cars occu-
pied with tramps who seek that manner OF
transporting themselves from place to place
Hardly train passes this city without
some of these peripetetic individuals are
board stealing ride. In many instances
they are locked up in the cars, having
secreted themselves while the cars are at
station, and are not liberated until the cars
reach their destination.
This morning freight train from the
west brough in three little boys who were
confined in a car and had been so confined
for over day They attracted the atten-
ton of brakeman while the train was
standing on the track near the depot and
were thus liberated. They managed to
secure something to eat, and then sought
to steal ride on to Chicago.
The little fellows refused TO give their
names, but stated that they were going to
South America to grow up with the coun
try. 1t is probable that they have run
away from home, and have taken cheap
rlan to reach some distant point

0RJTUARY.

A dispatch was received last evening
containing the information that James
Wooden, former resident of this city, had
been killed at Lictsre Lake, California.
The deceased was engaged as conductor
on the California and Arizona railroad, and
while at the station named above, he fell
between the cars, and was fatally injured
by the accident.
James Wooden came to Rock Island
when quite boy with his parents, who
left Auburn. n. Y, for the purpose of To-
eating in this county. He continued to
make this city his home until three years
ago, when he left for California, where he
engaged in the railroad business. He was
thirty-five years of age of age at the time
of his death and was unmarried. Mrs.
Chas. A. Jarvis; of this city and State Sen
ator Wooden, or Auburn, n. Y, are sister
and brother of the deceased.
1t has not yet been decided to bring the
remains to this city for burial, although
such will probably be the case.

hippodrome, the sensational fight of
LII Lu as thrown from catapult, native
Zulus, the Adams family Of midgets,
James and George Melville and Miss
Emma and Katie Stokes; broncho horses
besides Geraldine and q host of other at
fractions.
Some idea of the magnitude of this show
can be formed when one knows that the
canvass, when stretched in position will
cover nearly eight acres of ground, and
gives seating capacity for 1900 people,
There are five center, and seventy quarter
poles unfolding the tent.
1t is without doubt the most extensive
show ever put upon the road, and ii is
probable that no effort viii ever be made
to start out one of greater Dimensions. In
this show the limit has been reached, and
succeeding years will only witness an imi-
tation of the features united in this organ
iZation.

THERE IN SPIRIT.

The chaste and cultured editor of the
little Dispatch, a paper published in Mo
line, allows his ornate style full sway in
the following literary gem:
A batch of Rock Island gumps, whose
unframed noses couldn't distinguish be,
tween arfold cheese and a corpse, called
on ex-Coroner Knox the other day to in
quest the contents of cofin-shaped box
in a freight car at the Peoria depot. A
jury was picked up among the swarming
loafers of that city, the box was opened
and it was found to be-empty.
The item is incorrect in the last particu-
lar, as the class mentioned as composing
the jury was not represented. Perhaps
the writer intended to convey the idea that
he was there in spirit.

NEW INDUSTRY.

The Rock Island architectural iron works
and machine shops are establishments that
have but lately been erected in this CT
ty, but are rapidly proving themselves
valuable additions to the numerous indus
trial works of the city
John Mayer and John Thompson are the
proprietors of the new works, and both
being experienced workmen, their success
is already assured.
The works are located on Gath street,
between 9Th and 18th avenues, and in addi-
ton to making wrought and cast iron fen
cling, spiral stairs, iron shutters, and all
kinds of wrought and custom building
work, they are extensively engaged in the
manufacture of the Rock Island Horse Hay
Fork and Carrier.
This latter is patent which
is found to be very popular as it deserves
to be, with the agricultural community,
and the new firm is now transacting a
large business in this one department alone,
to say nothing of the. work in the other
branches.
The firm is meriting success and in so
doing. it has achieved it.

GOOD WORK.

Good work is always appreciated and
will bring custom. 1t is so with the firm
of Kurth & Scherer. They began business
in wagon, buggy and carriage making at
the old stand of B. Streckfus, at the corner
of Ninth street and Fourth avenue, last
April and have already succeeded in build
ing up a good trade. Both members of
the firm have had years of experience in
their line and thoroughly understand their
business. None but first class material is
used and the workmanship is not excelled
anywhere. Their wagons are calculated to
stand years of hard usage and are giving
general satisfaction. They are also pre-
pared to do all kinds of repairing, varnish-
ing, etc, in first class style.

reasonable to conclude we shall have more
