THE REPUBLICANS.

The republican congressional committee

purpose of deciding upon time and place
for holding the congressional convention
for this, the nth district.
Among those in attendance were Judge
Lynde of this city; w. Baird of Hancock,
j. B. Chandler, Mercer, J. e. Chandler,
Mercer John Porter, Warren, and ]. Peter
son from Henderson.
All the counties with the exception OF
Schuyler, were represented.
W. Baird, of Hancock, was chosen chair
man, and J. Peterson. of Henderson, act
ed as secretary.
The basis of representation for delegates
IN the congressional convention was decid-
ed to be one for every 200 voters. and for
a fraction over 100 votes cast for the pres
idential candidate in 1880.
On this basis Rock Island county will be
entitled to 90 delegates. Hancock 18,
Warren ID, Mercer 10, Schuyler s, Hender.

THE SMALLPOX.

The disease in this city has been confn
ed to four houses, wherein as many pa
tients have been afflicted Two of then
are about convalescent, leaving but two
actual cases now in Rock Island
Davenport had seven new cases on
Thursday, which augments the total mum
Der to some twenty cases. In fact it has
become an epidemic in the city over the
river, although all efforts are strained to
confine it to certain centers
The commandant at the arsenal, Col
Flagler has issued orders to allow all the
Davenport workmen who live in the ex-
posed districts to quit work on the Island
until it is considered safe for them to re-
sumo their labors.
The soldiers also have instructions not
to visit certain portions of Davenport,
showing that the danger of contagion is
being duly recognized and acted upon.

weeks, and finally commenced his labors
in the Reporter Office. His peculiarities
were to get-on "big drunk when most
needed; and notwithstanding this the pro-
prietors of the office would try him again
on probation, and worked with him until
finally they could place some confidence
in him. About a week ago his old peculi-
aritv took another start, and he skipped.
He went over to Geneseo in the hack, tell
ing Mr.. Fullerton that an uncle of his had
left him considerable money, and that he
was going over to buy out the Genoseo
San. He staid with Mr.. Fullerton three
days, and then left. never to come again.
When asked where "that printer" was,
Mr.. Fullerton replied, Gone to HI, or
some other seaport. He left snndry un-
paid bills amounting to about $40 Said
bills can be purchased at great discount
by any person wishing to invest in stock
that will pay uncertain dividends.

Dared shell, one cedar double
shell, two single shells and
single gig have been disposed of. The
last boat to go was the four cared shell,
which was shipped to Creston. Iowa, two
or three days ago. The remaining three
are also for sale. The local club having
paid its dues for year, is still connected
with the NJ V. A. r. A., but only in name.
As soon as the year expires the space oc-
cupied by the Peoria but club, on the
records of the association, viii be edged
in black as a token of respect for the
memory of the deceased, while, though so
promising at its birth and fondly cherished
in its infancy, nevertheless died young.
The club accomplished one good during
its existence: Itwas the means of widely
advertising this city on two distinct oc-
casions, it treated its visitors royalty, and
succeeded in fully impressing them with
Peoria's grandeur. There was much in its
life to ridicule, and much to commend. Its
demise, therefore, implores the passing
tribute of sigh, which we freely heave.
The good that it wrought lives after it;
the EVIL is inferred with its bones. Fele

MEETINGS.

The street and alley committee of the
city council met last night to consider the
various matters referred to them at the last
meeting of the council.
The ordinance committee OF the council
likewise held a session last evening for the
purpose of discussing some new ordinances
that will be submitted to a future meeting
of the aldermen.
The council will meet in extra session on
Monday night when some very important
business will be transacted. Among other
matters that will come up for consideration
are the petitions of the r. l. & Milan, and
the r. [. & Moline Street Railways. the
former asking for the right of way through
this city and the latter for an extension.
In addition thereto the aldermen
will grapple with the illumination of the
city, for which contract the Gas Company
and the Electric Light Company are both
bidders

A FAIR FRAUD.

The Quincy Neaos tells the following
story of fair fraud who victimized some
of the susceptible business men of thai
place. For the benefit of Rock Island the
the tale is printed, in order to pre-
vent them from being swindled, also,
pearance here. The Neaos says that several
days ago very handsome and vivacious
young lady appeared on the streets and
visited number of business houses and
residences in the guise of an agent for a
book in the form of an album.
The album, according to sample, was
deliberately gotten up, and included fine
views of scenery interpersed with which
were to be advertisements of firms subscrib-
ing for same, copies of the books to be
left at hotels and other public place.. She
told to several young business men woful
story of her failure to make decent sal
airy. She excited deep sympathy in the
minds of gallant young merchants and she
secured from several advance payments,
aggregating a considerable amount. One
young dry goods merchant, who has a
caution bump of considerable area, inves-
tigated the matter, and found that the fair
and sorrowful young lady had made false
representations. The books were to have
been delivered IN day, but since the first
visit the young woman has been missing.
She is fraud.

IMAGINARY RICHES.

There are two individuals who cal
Rock Island their home, who have suffered
a very good joke to be played upon them
They both occupy offices on Second ave
nue., and have number of friends who
united in making the joke a success. They
have both entertained the idea that il
would be most enjoyable to have an ex-
tensive bank account to draw on in their
old age, and while working hard at their
respective employment they imagined
that it would be an easy thing to catch on
to fortune by investing in one of the
lottery schemes. They did so, and at the
time of the monthly drawing of such in
stitution, their several friends came in
and congratulated them on drawing the
capital prize, some $4,000 The friends
stated that they had seen certain number
printed as drawing the prize, taking the
precaution to learn the exact figures of the
ticket Jointly owned by the Rock Island in.
vestors.
The congratulations continued until the
two men actually believed that their ticket
had drawn the lucky prize. They finally
acknowledged that the whole affair was a
joke, and they also appreciated the fact
that it was not their duty to laugh at the
result.

ton But for the rainy weather, which
has retarded its progress more than week
altogether, it would have been finished
some time ago. Once fitted up in its new
capacity as club house, the Ingersoll

most enterprising building in Peoria, in a
historical sense. Originally built by the
Hon Washington Cookie as a residence,
at a cost of over $50, 900, it was fer years
the largest and finest dwelling house in the
city Afterwards, as residence of Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll, it possesses a peculiar
interest. Its later history as a hotel and
the considerations which led to its removal
to the lot north of the corner on which it
was originally located are too well known
to need repetition here. AS it is the first
brick b:ilding ever moved in this city, the
operation has been watched not only with
interest but curiosity.
Quite sensation was created at the
Union depot in Bloomington, the other

ing in charge her fveweeks old triplets.

BOATING CLUBS.

For some reason the interest in boating
affairs is gradually dying out, and tho
several clubs that once existed in different
parts of the state are disbanding and going
out of the business.
The Athletic club of this city went out
of business year ago, disposing of its
boats, and is now social organization.
The Davenport club likewise is in de-
moralized condition, and the Sylvans Of
Moline are also on their last legs.
Down in Peoria the same apathy in such
matters is manifesting itself; and the club
that once had its crews and boats has now
disbanded
In noting the fact the Peoria Journal
says:
The disintegration of the Peoria Boat
club is now an assured fact. The Peoria
club has absorbed all the supporting mem
bers of the aquatic institution, and the
latter, to all inients and purposes, il
among the things that were. OF the feet
