LOWERED HIs DAM.

A well-known Rock Islander, with
musical proclivities, was going along Sec
ond avenue on Saturday night when he
stopped to speak with friend in front OF
the Rock Island House. A. horse, whose
fore feet rested in pool of very dirty
water, was hitched near them. A fly
bothered the horse, and as horses usually do
he lifted one foot and set it down spitefully
in the pool aforesaid scattering the r. /.
with muddy water from crown to stomach
ache. Then the r. I. lifted up his voice
very theoretically about dams and things
till he saw some lady friends approaching
when he adjourned in haste to an adjacent
saloon Some horses don't seem to know
anything

TWAS FIVE O'CLOCK I'M THE MORNING

Over in the Third ward might have been
found the LATEST couple in Rock Island;
so lazy were they, for fact, that it was
| said unless they looked sharp they would
get right down to spoon victuals, not
having the ambition to do any chewing to
speak Of They have been married for "a
great length of period" but they don't seem
to catch on to the "early to bed end early
to rise" business worth cent. Last spring
they moved into pretty good sized house
and renting the ground floor thereof pre-
pared to settle down as comfortably as "a
bug in a rug" but, alas. their dreams of
lying abed-in- the morning bliss have been
most shockingly shattered and by Singh
lar twist of fortunes wheel they have been
made to see the folly of playing sluggard
half of the forenoon. When they moved
into the house referred to the rooms over
head were occupied by one of the most in
dustrious families in these parts, the wo-
man doing her own washing, ETC., with
vim that would provoke admiration almost
anywhere. Everything was lovely til
washing day came around and then the air
soas full of feathers The woman overhead
had got up at break O. day and having
partly filled one tub with water was get
ting another one ready, when some of her
young ones, in their play, upset the first
tub and Immediately everything was afioat.
In about two minutes thereswas fearful
uproar down stairs, the door opened into
the hall and femsle voice, Git was that of
an enraged female, too, yelled: Mr.. - Mr..
- come down here right away" The man
having learned most implicit obedience in
the course of his career matrimonial did go
down wondering what allied the folks, any
way. He didn't wonder long, however,
because he was met at the door of the low
er apartments by the maddest woman who
ever wiggled the human tongue. She had
got out of bed in such hurry, evidently,
that she hadn't dressed but had frantically
grabbed skirts, bedguilts, sheets, and pretty
much everything else, and had thrown
them around herself quite promiscuously,
and all she needed to make herself look
like female Camanche was a little paint
on her face and feather or two in her
hair Over in a corner of the room her
once happy husband was Juggling away at
his trousers like mad, and his face, too,
shone with no borrowed light, by large
majority The minute Mr. appeared
the woman pointed tragically to the bed,
and what there was in the line of crockery
and tinware that wasn't on that bed isn't
worth mentioning, and the water running
through the ceiling as if from huge
sprinkler. The chief points of the situa-
ton, so to speak, dawned upon the unhap-
DIV Mr. at once, and expressing the
most profound regret that the carelessness
of 'Ethat Internal hired girl" had produced
such a fearful shower bath, he hustled up
stairs, and if ever two people had hearty
laugh over the misfertunes of two Others,
these up stairs folks were the ones.
The downstairs folks are up with the
lark nowadays, fearing another deluge

HIS CHANCES.
Although the guilt of the prisoner is not
positively known yet the circumstantal
evidence is so strong that there is not the
least doubt in the minds of our citizens
as to his guilt. The tragedy has caused
considerable excitement in this city
where both parties are well known. If the
wounded man dies, the prisoner will
surely stretch hemp as it is indeed
dastardly crime for man to kill his brother
in so cowardly manner.
