He Wants to Know, You Know.

Jacob irish, of the Third Ohio Caval
ry, applied for pension, his claim be-
ing that he had hand-to-hand fight
with his sabre for five miles on the Sd
of July, 1868, during which he was Sc
verely hacked, also shot in the leg. The
application fell into the hands of very
critical examiner, who returned it with
the following Endorsement; The claim
ant is required to state under oath,
what caused him to get into fight with
his sabre; what kind of sabre was it
he got into a fight with; how he hap
pened to have hand-to-hand fight with
it; whether it had hands; whether there
were any witnesses present during the
fight how he managed to get shot while
fighting with his sabre; whether it was
a shooting sabre; whether he believes
the sabre shot him; whether it shot any
body else; whether he shot it, how ma
ny shots were fired; who fired the first
shot; whether the soldier was in the
habit of lighting his sabre; how long a
time he fought it, and whether he had
ever fought any other sabre. 1t should
be shown by competent testimony
whether the soldier shot the sabre or
the sabre shot the soldier.

wicked II we stayed there any longer,
so we left. Half an hour afterward,
when the foreman came into the editor
ial room we asked him if he could I'M
derstand how the young man conle
stand all that scathing sarcasm tha-
we had poured out on him.
Understand it?'' Then the foreman
laughed loud and long. Il should say
so; don't you know hime"
We confessed that we knew all we
cared to know of him.
ssWhy, he is that deaf and dumb
tramp printer from Tennessee, and he
didn't hear blamed word you said.
He could have stood it all evening.
We have come TO the conclusion that
there is not such power in sarcasm as
is claimed for it-when it is used on a
leaf mute. Ie1aS StftiagS.

The moral of the foregoing is obvious.
Either our real estate owners mnst come to

heretofore manifested or the town will go

spoken but they have remained unspoken

WILL OUR CAPITALISTS TAKE HEED!

As the spring season advances the cry
comes more apparent. 1t is in the form
of general demand for houses or cottages
of moderate size and eorrespondingly
moderate rent The ARGUS has heretofore
endeavored to point out to the capital
lists of Rock Island that no quicker, larger
| or surer returns could not be realized upon
the money invested than those obtained
| in the erecting of conveniently located
houses renting for from S. to
S12 a month. There is plenty
of desirable ground within the
corporate limits of this city which could
be devoted to this purpose, which is now
yielding absolutely nothing to its owners
and there is plenty of unused capital
which could find its way into substantial
and convenient cottages for mechanics,
clerks etc.
The ARGUS has most excellent text
for this article, in the presence in Rock
Island to-day, of two gentlemen from
Monticello. Iowa, whom an ARGUS re
porter met this morning while they were
in quest oe houses of modest proportions.
easily accessible from tire business centre
of the city, aud which would be
rented at reasonable figures.
Should they succeed in finding
such they will embark in the grocery
business here, if not they will go else
II 10 hot of
nature come properly within the purview
of the Business Mems Association and it
is to be hoped that the subject of enlist
ing the attention of Rock Island capital
lists in the direction of making invest
ments in low priced houses and lots in
this city will be brought up at the regu
lar meeting to night with tangible results.
There is no reason for the adoption Of
dog in the Manager" policy in Rock
Island policy which would drive bust
ness and business men into other
and perhaps more enterprising
communities And. it is within bounds
to say, policy which would in a. few
wears result in excellent pasturage for
cattle in most of our principal thorough
fares. To more clearly illustrate this
point, (and it is no breach of confidence
to do SOL the ARGUS would reproduce
part of private conversation held a few
weeks ago with one of our principal
manufacturers. Said he: I'VE are seri
eusly hampered in our business for more

adjoining ours has given us permission to
occupy it for a specified term but he viii
not sell foot of it to us. If ne did not
occupy it, no income, whatever, would be
received from it and yet be might keep on
paying taxes indefinitely. Now this
would all be very well during his lifetime
but in the event of his death we might be
compelled to sell our own property and
remove to some other point where we
, could purchase all of the ground required
in our growing business. / tell you, sir.
that such men as the one I have named
have been positive detriment to Rock Isl
! and and to such men is directly attribut-

ceptible in the growth of the city" This
S gentleman then referred at length to an
other manufacturer who wanted to estab
t lish a big business here but was forced to
