had been paid off in San Francisco after
long cruise to Brazil on the full ship
Mary, on which he had been engaged as
butcher
On reaching his destination he concluded
to remain on land. He travelled over the
country and reached Rock Island night be-
fore last. He put up at Bucks boarding
house, and had about $50 in his posses
sion.
Friday he visited several establishments
seeking employment. but failed to secure a
position.
He had about decided to move on to
Chicago, and was seated on First avenue,
waiting for a train, when he was accosted
by an individual who claimed to be sailor
also. The new friend asked the stranger
visited several saloons, and had as many
drinks as either desired, and then the two
proceeded to the malt house near the cor
ner of Twenty third street and Second ave-
nue.. The Rock Island was claimed to
own the place, and asked the stranger to
come IN and see it. While in the building
three other men came in, and the sailor lad
was made acquainted with all of them.
Several buckets of beer were drank, and
the party became very merry. Finally
they asked the sailor to stand his share OF
the expense, which he refused to do.
They then had some mock hangings of
the rope which they had induced the sailor
to adjust in different kinds of moose knots.
The sailor was asked to pull the rope at
tached to one of the men, but refusing, he
was swung up himself and when let down
was badly confused. When he came to he
found that his money was missing. He
started out on the street and met the gang
who had been with him. They. told him
that if he told on them they would shoot
him, as they were cousins of the James
boys, and had come to Rock Island to lib
crate one of their number from the county
jail.
The police incidentally learned of the
affair, and arrested the sailor, w. Doyle,
Kit Atkinson, Jack Wheelan, and Buck
O'Brien The sailor identified the men,
and made out warrant against them,
charging them with robbery.
The case will come up before Justice
Chopper this morning,

ences has gained an advantage of position that
makes of him better citizen and more devoted
admirer of God 3 goodness. 1t does not tend to
make him Goddess. His igfuence in interpreting

This audience is not uncharitable TO attrib-
ute to you the thought that you consider yourselves
educated They well know that nothing developes
Christian humility with the swiftness and certainty
that attends the growth of the true student.
During these twelve years of school life you have
had line upon line of this uuquestioned orthodoxy
that the accrued strength of each years efforts gave
YOU higher advantages of position in lifes conflict
but that these advantages would be surely and sad
y forfeited If not ntrenched and fortified with stu
dious habits and unbending integrity.
Cherish this counse! as genuine passport to pros
perity To you and former graduates of the Rock
Island High school, let me urge you to continue
true to yOur Alma Mater. We need your warm,
practical friendship. Remember thst this cause is
humanity's and Gods cause.
And finally may the advantage of position which
you have fairly be held and elevated until it
merges into the possibilities of happy eternity.

House OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, June 6, 1882.
Hon. John w. Green,

Hon. John W. Green: 9
DEAR SIR:-Your telegram in relation
to the action of Secretary of War recon-
mending the passage of the toll bill was
received while the Hennepin canal bill was
under consideration, and / could not OBJ
tain the information asked for Until to-day
have called upon Mr.. Lincoln and been
informed by him that he had recommended
the passage of the toll bill with some
amendments. He stated further that the
use of the bridge by the public was con
slant source of annoyance to the war de
partment-that they had to decide what
articles and vehicles should be allowed t.
cross the bridge without infringing upon
the rights of the railroad company, but
the principal reason urged was the com
plant made by the Ferry cempany-that
their business was injured and in danger
of being ruined by the use of the govern
ment bridge by the public, and the secre
tary feared that the ferry would be aban
doned if the government continued &c
maintain a free bridge. He also stated
that he was being constantly appealed to
prevent the free use of the bridge and
there had been no expression TO the depart
ment in behalf of its free use. | told the
secretary that an expression could be fur
nished him in behalf of its use by the pub
lie, signed by thousands.
| found among the papers filed in the
war department letter written by prom
inent attorney of Rock Island asking that
the use of the bridge by the public be re
stricted, letter dated July IS, 1881, in
which there are such expressions as the
following: The bridges have been divert
ed from legitimate and proper use and
made an almost public highway to the in-
jury of the Rock Island ferry
company. It's business has been
nearly ruined"
The effort at the present time to make
the bridge a toll bridge seems to have been
melted by the attempt to put line OF
Herdic coaches on the route from Daven-
port to Rock Island over the bridge Gen.
Chalmers introduced the bill providing that
the secretary of war should establish rates
of toll, and Mr.. Sypher. formerly mem
Der of congress from Louisiana, is acting
as an attorney and trying to push the bill
through. The bill was referred to the com
mittee on commerce. and is now in the
hands of Mr.. Wash5urne, of Minnesota, as
a subcommittee, who assures me that he
will give it careful consideration, and there
shall be no attempt to have it slipped
through without notice.
Yours Respectfully,
S. S. FARwEEI

Mr. Alexander Grunnell, of Albany, n.
Y, says: 81 had been for years troubled
with great weakness of my digestive or
gans, which seemed to be always out of
fix. Most usually | suffered from consti
patton, and at other times a severe run
ming off of the bowels would set in. No
remedy | ever tried would regulate this
function until tried Browns Iron Bitters.
1t really benefited me from the first day |
used it. My habits are now perfectly regu-
lar, and as a strengthened of the digestive
organs, think Browns Iron Bitters worth

RING RULE.
How the Republicans are un-
der its Dominion.
The Ringsters still Maintain
Their Position.

A call was issued to those republicans
of this city that were in favor of good gov
eminent and opposed to rings to meet at
Turn Halle last night for the purpose OF
forming a young Mems Republican
Club" The meeting was called in good
faith and for an honest purpose, but when
the meeting gathered together it was
plainly to be seen that the ring had mus
tered its clans, and the result was a
PACKED CONVENTION.
On motion of Mr.. Wilcox, of the postal
service Mr.. Oliver Olsen was chosen chair
man and Mr.. Guyer secretary, and the pre-
tended convention proceeded to organize.
A protest was at one made by Mr.. Louis
May, who stated in forcible language that
such a convention was farce; that it was
packed in favor of the interests it was
called to oppose, and he would ask for a
time of waiting. Mr.. May then introduced
the following resolutions;
ResoIoed, That this organization shall be
known as the Independent Republican
Club of the city of Rock Island.
Resot0ed, That we adopt for our plat
form the principles for which Garfield
died, viz; That this is government of
the people, by the people and for the Reo
pie, and we pledge ourselves to oppose by
all fair means within our power every
species of ring, clique or boss rule.
At this point

COMMITTEE OF REFoFM { p

y
appointed in the name of opposition to
ring rule and in favor of honest politics,
were instructed to report when they got
ready and call meeting for that purpose.
POSTMASTER BEARDsLEY,
that living example of civil service reform,
then spoke. He did not suppose for an
instant but that he was addressing a re-
publican meeting. There might be rings
in the republican party, but his hands were
innocent of such an offense It was true
he had recommended men to office, but he
had always had the best interest of the
county, the republican party and himself
at heart. He then spoke of the ingrati-
tude of men who had come to him for
political favors, and then were not willing
to be his tools forever more in conse-
quence. He seemed TO be impressed with
the idea that if man procured position
through his influence, or by his sufferance,
that forever more that man must support
of his talk was a melange in eulogy of the
spoils system and a unanimous offer to
give up his office. if anyone wanted it,
with probably mental reservation.
He made the point that Mr.. May had
been asking for Office himself. which last
drew an indignant denial from Mr. May,
who would pot call the postmaster
A LIAR
but would rather infer that there was
mistake somewhere which the postmaster
was responsible for. He explained the
circumstances of the proposed appoint
ment, and Judge Lynde corroborated his
statements. He could not understand why
he should be attacked, but he would state
that although the ring had captured the
meeting to-night, yet it would be worse for
the republican party in the end.
| Mr.. Sturgeon here interrupted with a
question, whether Mr.. May had not once
asked to be postmaster, which Mr.. May
tossed aside as too trivial to answer and
sffectually set down upon the legal gentle
man.
The meeting then adjourned.
