A peculiar type of the tramp species fire.
quently found in the larger cities, but sci
dom seen in the smaller places, made his
appearance in this city last Thursday.
He is what is known as 'the oyster can

that he is always seen wandering about
the streets with tin can in his possess

1t would appear from the presence of
this character in Rock Island, that the
class was increasing in numbers, and that
certain members thereof were seeking new
fields and pastures. -
As rule they are not given to thieving
or other criminal practices, as their drink
ing proclivities make them loggy and
heavy. They are stupid and thoroughly
worthless and have NO higher aim thansto
secure all the beer they can drink.
The naturalzresult of their love for the
amber colored beverage, is that sooner or
later they are found dead in some coal
shead or barn, and the coroner is called in
to inquest and pass upon their demise.
The member of the brigade who visited
this city yesterday was run in by the po
lice. but as no charge but vagrancy could
be preferred against him. he was dis
charged.
The existance of city reck pile in this
city where such cases could be put to
work would drive them from the place at
once, as work is not part of their aim in
lite.

competitor, Col Marsh, he succeeded in
making things very lively. The county
convention was not unit on instructing
the delegates. Many preferred Col. Marsh
while large number were outspoken for
Col. McClaughry. The result of this disa-
greement was that the county convention
ended in row. and zswo sets of delegates
were named. One set favors the present
incumbent, and the other being in the in
terest of the aspirant from Warren coun-
ty.
1t is not stated what Major McClaugh
RVS qualifications to the Office are, but it is
assumed that since he is an office-holder II
is but republican doctrine to keep him in
official position.
His experience as warden of the peni-
Tertiary May render him well qualified to
take seat in congress IN case the re-
publicans secure control of that branch OF
the federal government at the next cleo
ton.
He has many friends in this county who
prefer him to any of the candidates yei
named, including w. Fl. Gest of this city,
who is figuring for the nomination. They
claim that Maj Nc Ciaughry viii win the
race.
The Gest followers are of the opinion
that the fight between Nc Claughry and
Marsh will make it easy to run in com
premise candidate from this county, and
ON this they base their hopes that GEES
will be nominated.
The district is quite close, and the dem
ocrats are strong in the belief that the re
publican fight win be of such a character
that no matter what man may be selected
dissatisfaction will follow, as has been the
case in the nominations of this county, and
the democratic nominee viii secure an easy
victory.

buggy was coveted with broken eggs
Those who captured the horse found q
piece of dress skirt tangled in the forward
wheel of the buggy, and mans straw hat
with fresh perspiration on the band inside.
The policeman who came up said trag-
edy had been enacted, and the crowd went
| up the road where the buggy came from,
expecting to find the CORY corpse strewn
along the highway. About mile out of
town they found a young man and girl
sitting beside the road, on a stump, and he
had pulled off his coat and thrown it over
her lap, and she was hystericky and would
| not be comforted, and the young fellow
acted as though he would take it kindly If
some one would blow his brains out.
The policeman took him one
side, and after considerable pump
ing found out that the girl had jumped
out of the buggy one way and he had
jumped out the other, and that her dress
| had caught On the wheel and torn half the
skirt off 1t seems that they lived about
eight mikes in the country, and were out
/ for little ride. The buggy had been
under the shed for a week or two, and a

eggs, and concluded to set. When the
| young fellow hitehed up the horse the hen
remained on the nest and for few miles

jumped out, when the hen began to walk
/ up the young mans trousers and he jump
ed out too, leaving the hen to drive the
runaway horse. The girl did not know
what it was under the seat foeling with
her stockings and when she thought it
might be snake or highway robber, she
LIST control of herself and jumped. When
! they both found out what it was that had

to say they will never go riding again

A very disgusting sight was presented
on Third avenue yesterday afternoon, in
the shape of drunken man and woman,
accompanied by two little children. The
intoxicated couple were from the country,
and when last seen they had entered a
wagon and were on their way out of the
city.
The man was gloriously full of the in
toxicating beverage, and staggered along
the street to his wagon.
The woman was also sadly under the
influence of the ardent liquid, and made
her way with some difficulty.
The presence of two little children in
the family group made the sight distress.
ing in the extreme.
The two Intoxicated members were quiet
and peaceful, and seemed TO be intent on
reaching the wagon and driving home as
rapidly as possible.
