We give our hearty endorsement tc
the suggestion Of the New Orleans Plea.
yunc that fund be raised to establish
Il nome for manned and disabled Con.
Tolerate soldiers. These men met with
their misIOrtunes in cause they held
to be just, and no matter whether, after
an intervention Of fifteen years we be-
lieve they were in the right or in the
wrong, we cannot forget that they de-
serve our sympathy and assistance. In
the North there are many such institu-
tons such as the one proposed by our
New Orleans contemporary, where ex-
Union soldiers SCARED by the sabre and
the bullet, receive every comfort and
kindness. Why should not the soldiers
who followed Lee, Johnston, Jackson
and other noble leaders in the dark days
Of TIE rebellion be accorded the same
privileges enjoyed by thousands of
those who fought them ON many bloody
battlc-helds? Let the subject receive
immediate attention, for the needs of
these brave men are pressing. In the
days Of our peace, prosperity and hap
pincss, let us not forget those who bat
tied for us at Chickamauga, Shiloh, Ma
nassas, Lookout Mountain and other
scenes Of carnage that will live in his
tory forever and aye Nashville Ban

THE MINsTRELs.

This evening Leavitts Gigantean Min.
strels will give one of their novel and high
ly amusing entertainments at Harper's
theatre. The same troupe appeared In
Davenport last night, and gave the most
unbounded satisfaction to the audience in
attendance. The performance is replete
with good features. and it is well worth
double the price of admission.
Prominent among the comedians are
Harry Armstrong, Dave Reed, Lew Bene-
dict and James Corners. They are among
the best in the profession, and the special
ties and comicalities never fail to provoke
laughter. and their frequent recalls come
as matter of course.
A novel, and at the same time attractive
feature of the entertainment, is an imita
ton of the old time minstrelsy, as pro-
duced by Dan Emmett in 1910. In this
act Dan Emmett, the father of minstrelsy
in this country, will make his appearance.
The vocal department of the troupe is
excellent, as such well-known singers as
Robt. T. Tyrrell, Earnest St. Claire. Arthur
Cook and William kellogg constitute few
of the performers. The concerted selec-
tions of this quartette should fill Harper's
theatre this evening.
The female impersonations of Burton
Stanley, and the burlesque ON the asthetlc
craze, introducing duets and chorus from
all the late operas, under the name OF
Patients, or the snake charmer, constitute
prominent attractions of the performance.
1t is seldom that so many good artists
are gathered together in one company, as
is the case with the Gigantean Minstrels
that appear at Harper's theatre this even
ing and those who desire an evening OF
solid fun and amusement would do well to
attend the theatre tonight.

the amount needed to meet current ex-
penses for the coming year would be two
cents per member of all scholars in the
schools.

gave brief address on the subject. What
benefits has the church received from the
Sunday school in the past, and how may
she secure the greatest benefit from the
Sunday school in the future?''
The Rev. Irving A. Searles then ad-
dressed the convention ON the subject

remarks to the point and illustrated the
same by many happy incidents.

work" The latter subject was nicely
handled by Rev. Ell. d. Clark of Port By

THE RIVER.

This morning the river was compare
enabled to make regular trips in better
time than has been the case for the past
week.
Yesterday the Arkansas and White Eagle
arrived from above. They are making
their final trips of the present season. One
is taking all the freight on one side of the
river and the other clears the freight on
the opposite shore.
The Dubuque Herald says: Sixteen
colored deck hands on the steamer White
Eagle quit the boat here yesterday morn
ing after she had received the shipping
and demanded their money. This was
refused them by the clelk, and they ap-
piled to United States Commissioner Hobbs
for redress. The latter as vet has taken no
action in the matter. The river was pretty
well filed with ice yesterday, especially on
the eastern shore. If the cold snap which
has set in continues as severe for few
days longer an end may be expected to all
river navigation. The Josie has laid up
for the winter. as previously mentioned.
The Arkansas and white Eagle were in
port yesterday Both went to East Dubuque
to coal up, and after preparing for an
Arctic voyage, the White Eagle hesitated
whether to venture up the river until next
season. She wants to make La Crosse,
and may venture on the trip. The Arkan-
sas was heavily loaded bound for ST. Louis,
but will remain here for the winter unless
the weather is milder this morning. She
may attempt the journey minus barges,
which she showed in the slough yesterday.
Last nights advices state that the river is
frozen over at La Crosse, and that Specht's
ferry has been laid up. Captain Yates is
still running the Key City, and will con-
tinue to do so until compelled to lay up
by running ice. The Diamond 10 office
was crowded with roustabouts yesterday
receiving tickets for passage on the Arkan-
sas for their respective homes.

MARATrME MATTERS.

This morning the suit of the Viola verses
the White Eagle for $40 came up before
Justice Cook in this city. 1t appears that
on the 18th of last October, the White
Eagle backed into the Viola injuring the
latter to some extent Capt. Pierce OF the
Viola had the damage repaired and the
carpenters bill amounted to $50. This bill
the officers of White Eagle refused to pay,
and the carpenter attached the Viola and
received his pay. Capt. Pierce thereupon
attached the White Eagle for the amount
and the trial commenced this morning as
above noted. During the morning Capt.
Pierce; J. H. Speaker. agent of the White
Eagle and ]. J. Kalhe, of the boat yard
were examined.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Oscar Wiley is an inmate of the Jail,
and the cause of his imprisonment is the
fact that he is awaiting the next meeting
of the Grand Jury to answer charge OF
rape which will be investigated. 1t would
appear that Wiley is becoming Disguised
with life, in the dungeon cell, for last night
he attempted to quit the ills of this life
and try new deal on future exis-
tence
During Yesterday afternoon, Sheriff
Ankrum was notified that Wiley was play
ing the Crank act; in short, Wiley by his
actions tried to convey tie impression that
he was temporarily insane. He was
prancing around his cell and otherwise
initiating the actions of an insane individ-
ual. His rendition of the non compos
mentes being however was not sigma
success, as the Sheriff and his deputies
were not mislead by them. They locked
Wiley up as usual at bed time. and left
him to enjoy his own reflections.
One of of the prisoners noticed that
he had a species of rope in his cell,
and was making preparations to hang
himself The deputy in charge was inform
ed of the fact, and he and the sheriff made
an examination of the premises. They
found that Wiley had cut up his blanket
into strips, and had made rope of them.
When found he was still pretending to be
insane. The improyised rope was taken
away from him, and he was placed in his
cell without his usual clothing.

work of connecting the inlet pipe at the
building can be accomplished. It viii not
be done however, until next week. The
new mains from the water works to con-
meet with the old system will be placed in
position during the present week. This
includes the laying of pipe from the water
works building south on Twenty fourth

by the latter part of the week, when the
other work will be pushed forward in a

A GOOD MOVE.

There is every prospect that next fall
will witness an exposition and speed meet
ing in this city under the auspices of the
exposition association.
Yesterday j. w. Green and ]. e. Le-
Claire, secretary and president respectively
of the Scott County Agricultural Society
were visiting the leading manufacturing
institutions of this city and Moline with a
view of arranging for such an exposition.
In Moline Mr.. Charles Deere and Stewart
Els gave the proposed affair their sanction
and cooperation and in this city B. d.
Buford was visited.
The exact location of the buildings has
not been fully decided, as the Davenport
men naturally claim that they should be
situated across the river. The Rock Island
people maintain that this city should be
selected, as its central location between
Moline and Davenport, renders it best
adapted for the proposed exhibition.
A site for the buildings could be selected
to the south of the bridge and on the line
of the street cars between this city and
Moline. Such location would be acces-
sible to the three cities, while in Daven-
port it would be inconvenient for the Mo-
line people and not over convenient for the
residents of this city. If the exposition is
ever started. it win never be financial
success without it attracts from the three
cities, and it viii not draw crowds from all
of them, unless it is centrally located, The
business men of Rock Island feel that this
city should be selected, and viii work hard
to that end.
