probabilities now are that he will be ar

the father. There is an ordinance against
cows running at large at night, but none
in the day time. This not as it should be,
as they are an intolerable nuisance, iitic-

By this they displayed good taste and ex-

Conundrum for the Union: If Boss
Morris is such truly good man as you
would have your readers believe, why was
he dismissed as your Moline representative
'once upon a time, " and why were all
manner of insinuations thrown out respect
ing irregularities etc. II you give this
up" the ARGUS will PROFOUND an easier
one next time.
The Union most lamentaily failed to
su5stantiate its charge that Judge Pleas
ants, the grand jury and the supreme
court of Illinois were in active collision
with Matchmaking fiends in trying to extort
money unlawfully from Captain William
g. Morris who ran 'tippling house" as
charged in the indictment

Central Presbyterian church was well at
tended and was quite meritorious. The

ETY. to obtain money faster than Legitimate
business would accumulate, and there
is a weakness in the humun system
in that direction that sometimes
extends to men ordinarily honest and
honorable. We have seen it extend to one
such man in Office as sheriff in this coun-
ty, and we know that few positions Offer
greater inducements In his respect. Then
If this was Morris weakness in 1871, to
such an extent that for the money he hoped
to make from the sale of whisky, he had
not sufficient stability of purpose to be
able to resist the temptation, but besrayed
the temperance people of whom he claimed
to be one, and violated the temperance
laws which he. as professedly temper
ance man had assisted in causing to be
enacted, what assurance have we that he
has grown stronger in that respect since
1871 at that time he was ostensibly in the
drug business. he is ostensibiy in the drug
business yet, he has the reputation of
having accumulated large amount OF
money and property from his business;
what other man in Moline has got rich out
of the drug business? Morris was, in fact,
in 1871 keeping .ttippling house Is it
true that he is still keeping 'tipphng
house" and that that is the source OF his
income and wealth? 1 wonder if he would
not be as frank with the public as he was
with Col Mock provided the same induce
ments were held out to him. The Uasaon
SAYS Col. Mock thought it was best for
him to confess to the extent of nominal
fine land let the matter be dropped" The
Union, by its ominous silence on the sub
iect in yesterdays issue, seems to echo the
words, And let the matter be dropped,
but know of no reason why he should
not now be given an opportunity to con-
TESS the whole truth, and if he says that he
has been running tipping house for
the past twelve years and got rich in that
business, don't blacken his character by
again referring to his confessions but
Let the matter be dropped. "
But there are other good and sub
stantial reasons why the temperance people
cannot vote for Morris. one of which is, as
is charged, that he is patronizing very lib
orally those now doing the same business
legally which he has done Illegally, to the
extent of five or ten dollars in place in
various saloons where it will do the most
good on election day. Is the editor or the
Union such a very bad man as to do as
did in taking the chances of blackening his
character by asking what proof there is of
this charger Again, it seems to be beyond
dispute that Morris has bartered and sold
the office of deputy to one Louis V. Eek
hardt. So, also, the office of
turnkey is understood to be no longer in
the market. having been recently contract
ed by w. e. Morris, who is supposed by
some to have all these good things to give
away, to Mr. Geo. e. Brown, of Buffalo
Prairie, whose eyes and countenance are
enough to convince any one as to which
side Of the temperance question he prac-
tees. If the temperance people can't find
a more desirable candidate than VIM. G.
Morris to vote for, they can deposit their
votes in the Mississippi river, which would
be far better.

"A BEAUTIFUL PONY.

we have ha0 AsWOOulounuS, Gon-
keys and other animals introduced
in drama of late years, but the
very latest novelty is the use of a
beautiful pony, who knows his cues as well
as any of the other performers, and who
receives nightly his fun share of applause.
This is only one of the many special at
fractions presented by Anthony 81 Eiiis's
Double Mammoth Uncle Toms Cabin
Company, which appears here at Harpers
theatre this evening, previous to its depar-
ture for London, England, where it opens
at the Alexandra Palace, when new YER

company has honestly won the title of

WONDERFUL HAILsroRM

This afternoon, between and o'clock,
one of the severest hail storms visited this
city that was ever known here. The de-
seen ling stones were all larger than an
average sized hickory nut, and most of
them were two or three inches in circum-
ference. Jonas Bear brought one to the
ARGUS Office weighing an ounce and three
quarters. Great damage must have been
received by Conservatives and window
glass generally.

VISIT THE SCHOOLS,

Said a prominent Rock Island educator TO
an ARaUs scribe ON Saturday evening: 81
wonder why the people of Rock Island
don't visit the schools oftener." There's a
wealth of meaning in this quoted sen
tence, which the ARGUS would briefly en-
phasize. It seems almost incredible that
parents, who have enough time at their
disposal. do not take greater interest in the
progress their children are making at
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-10-30

ARGUS would suggest. however, that If the
Sabbath school children participated Gas in
New York and other states) with song,
recitation, etc, the popular interest in them
would increase in wonderful ratio.

school. An interest which would find
vent in an occasional visit which would
alike cheer the heart of both teacher and
pupil. It is a fact that our schools are be-
ing managed splendidly, but of this large
majority of parents have no practical
knowledge. Visit the schools and see for
yourselves what our self denying. earnest
teachers are doing.

ALL QUIET.

The neighboring village of Cable is all
serene at the present time, the excitement
over the actions of r. B. Ellis of that place
having subsidized, 1t is stated that Ellis has
opposed quarantine regulations from the
commencement of the smallpox scare in
that place, and was therefore disposed to
resist the health authorities when they
sought to retain him and his family in their
residence. This action was caused by the
fact that certain members of the household
had been exposed to the disease.
He came to Rock Island, was taken care
of by policeman and escorted back to
Gable without delay. On his arrival the
health authorities gave him the choice
either to remain in his house or else in the
city lookup. He preferred the former. and
has since given the authorities ne trouble.

CATTLE CAR.

The Humane Association of the United
States some two years ago offered a prize
OF $4,000 to be awarded for the patent of
cattle car which should be so constructed
as to do away with the sufferings of live
stock while in transit.
Among the five judges appointed to
award the prize was General Superintend-
ant Kimball Of the G. R. L & p. This
commission recently made their report
which was in effect, that the desired i'm
provement had not been secured:
The committee state that the number of
plans and models of cars have been sub
mitted to them since their appointment is
no less than TO, presented by 636 different
competitors. Besides number of plans
were submitted which were not included
in the aggregate. with the distinct proviso
that they were not in competition, their
owners holding them ut Q higher figure
than $5, 900. The judges decided that
none of the designs offered in competition
met the conditions of the reward and so
no prize was given; and so the fund sub
scribed remains in the hands of She frus-
tees, with accrued interest, to be used in
aiding the introduction OF improved stock

THE MURDER.

The inquest held at Davenport, on the
remains of J. F. SchnoSr, who was muir
dered last Wednesday night, about three
miles from that city, did not develop any
thing new or startling. i
The principal witness was Charles Cow
derry, resident of Davenport, who testi-
fed that he heard the fatal shot, and also
the conversation Immediately preceding
the murder. He was returning to Davsn-
port with load Of hay, and when near
the spot where the murder was committed,
discovered wagon standing near the eul-
vert. He stopped, and heard one man say
'tgive up your money" and the reply,
which was to the effect that the person
had no money. A few other words passed,
when the shot was fired, and in an instant
afterwards, second shot was fired The
witness thought there were two men en-
gagged in the murder judging by the diff
ferent voices which he heard.
He went to farm house near by and
secured help and then went to Davenport
and notified the proper authorities.
The investigation will be continued this
afternoon.
