TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

Some members of your honorable body
seem to be very DESTROYS that the ARGUS
should publish among the official accoun.
of your proceedings the list of water con-
sumers. and action looking to that end
was taken by you at your last meeting.
In regard to this the ARGUS would state
that when it contracted to publish the
proceedings of your honorable body, it had
in view what has always been considered
as the proceedings of the council, and the
list of water consumers has never been so
considered Such list is part of the
public records of the citv, and as such is
open to inspection, but as regards publica-
ton, it holds the same place which q list
OF delinquent taxes would. which last has
never been considered part of the pro-
proceedings of the Board of Supervisors.

srIRK SENSATION.

The male and female members of the
Stirk family. whose bicycle exersise at the
theatre last evening was striking feature
of the Pat Rooney show, had little I'M
pleasantness at the conclusion of the per
| romance which caused some excitement
at the Harper house where the troupe was
quartered 1t was impossible to give any
information as to the cause of the row, as
the parties most interested pretended that
the disturbance was due to hysteria.
It appears that when the bicycle riders
had concluded their performance on the
stage, they retired to their rooms at the
hotel, and one of the performers and his
wife got into very animated conversation.
It may have been about the weather, or
the husband may have imagined that his
better half was too reckless with her smiles
and attentions to some Lothario of Rock
Island. 1t may possibly have been engen
dered by discussion as to the proper
mode of handling a bicycle, but there is no
doubt but that it had beginning cause as
its termination was better understood
From loud words the domestic dis
cussin grew bitter and finally the
occupants of the holel corridor IN
which the room was located were
Mortified to hear woman agonizing screams
for help. The assistance was promptly
at hand and when the door was opened
the man was holding his wife by the wrists
as if to prevent her from striking him,
while she was unable to- accomplish any
harm with her hands made the best of the
situation by testing her lung power.
The affair was turned off by the forced
explanation to the effect that the female
was subject to Mysteries and her last nights
performance was but sample exhibition
of what was very common in the Stirk
family.
There are others who claim to know that
the affair last night was not one of those
Gifts" but was simple exhibition of what
jealousy and accusation viii accomplish
even among the favorites of the foot
lights.

THE WRECK.
morning.

This morning the wind having subsidized
and the floats being in proper position,
Capt. Wall, the diver descended from one
of the barges and made hasty examina
ton of the hull of the steamer Jennie Gil
christ He states that the hull is in about
eighteen feet of water. The hull is lying
with the stern down facing the bridge. 1t
has clear surface and the diver hardly
thinks it probable that any bodies could
have become lodged in this portion of the
wreck, although a careful examination may
reveal the fact that one or more victims of
that disaster have become entangled in
the ropes or iron work in the rear.
The diver experienced some difficulty in
making close examination of the hull on
account of the chill in the water. He
states that even with the warm clothing
which he wears, the submarine gloves and
other protection against the cold, that he
is fairly benumbed when he gets down at
the bottom of the river. On this account
he finds it almost impossible TO pass into
the huh as he would do under ordinary
circumstances.
The water is represented to be
very cloudy and the diver
is unable to see even 8
short distance ahead of him. He is oblig
ed to feel about and thus place the chains
and ropes in position for elevating the hull
to the surface of the water. As far as his
examination goes, he found the hull to be
in good order and thinks that it will be
found to be in general good condition.
During the morning one rope was passed
under the bow, and this afternoon it is
hoped that two more ropes can be placed
in position, so that the hosting of the hull
can be accomplished tomorrow morning.
As soon as the hull is raised so that it
can be f1oated, it will be conveyed between
the two barges to the boat yard below this
city, where it viii be repaired. 1t is
thought that the hull will be at the boat
yard by tomorrow afternoon.

only one teacher was found to be absent,
and the proceedings proved both interest

voted to an informal discussion by the

the school room.
Then followed short exercise on pro

and Mrs. L. NJ. Copp read essays on the
subject ''How shall we advise our pupils
AS the title would indicate, the essays
were devoted to consideration of the

evening at Harpers Theatre, and by their
hearty and frequent applause testified Their
approval of the performance.
The entertainment was of the variety
ORDER and included some very attractive
features, among which were the sketches
of Crandal S Eastwood, Sharpley 81 West,
and Lamont 81 DuCrow.
The appearance of Pat Rooney pro-
voked deserved applause. and his vocalism
and acting were in keeping with his well
earned reputation as one of the leading
Irish comedians of the day. Little Katie
Rooney also appeared to give satisfaction
in her vocal efforts.
The show as whole is far above the
average, and as such deserved the liberal
patronage bestowed last evening.
