Radically Wrong.

The ARGUS has, on several occasions,
called the public's attention to the man.
ncr in which the Rock Island poor farm is
conducted 1t has claimed and now
does more strongly than ever, that the
expenses are altogether too heavy, and
that the peoples money was being squan-
dered in reckless manner. In the keep
ing Of paupers, alone, there is a great
overcharge by the stewart, comparing
what is paid here, with the charge in
other counties. We learned from Super
visor Taylor, today, that at Bloomington,
the county only pays S1.35 per
week for, the boarding of pau
pers.. The question then naturally
arises What does Rock Island county
pay?" 1t pays S205 for the same length
of time, or 70 cents per person more than
Bloomington. What do the tax payers
of the county think of this? No wonder
Rock Island county is in debt, and if it
allows such mismanagemant to continue,
it will never be free from.
Think of the exOrbitant price We are
paying. Seventy cents a week would
make $50 40 year more than Blooming.
ton pays. This is only on one person, SO
it can readily be seen that we are annu-
ally expending thousands of dollars too
much for the boarding of our paupers.
This is matter for the people to consider
and one that should receive more than a
passing thought.

Rays From the Headlight
ENGINEER BLISS ESCAPE.

The Freeport Daily Bulletin of Thurs
day contains the following account of an
accident in which Engineer Bliss, of this
city, came near being hurt:
On Christmas day, Engineer Bliss, of
Rock Island, was going to the shops of
the G. NJ. s. st. Paul road, at Racine
with crippled engine, and was following
the passenger train which is due here from
the west at 1925. At Western Union
Junction the passenger train had just gone
over the track from Chicago to Milwaukee
and Mr. Bliss with his engine had started
to go across, but before the other side had
been reached, a passenger train from Mil
waukee came along and crashed against
the lone engine, making a wreck of it,
Engineer Bliss was fortunately not injured
to amount to anything, nor was any one
else. 1t is supposed that the engineer of
the Milwaukee train thought the track was
clear after the passenger from Rock Is
land had crossed over, and did not look
closely for anything else.
ROCK ISLAND AND PEORIA ROAD.
The Peoria Freeman has the following
to say of the Rock Island & Peoria road:
The semi annual meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Rock Island and
Peoria railroad was held in Rock Island
the fore part of the week, and a dividend
of q per cent was declared, payable De
cember 31st. A few years ago the Peoria
& Rock Island, as the road was then call
ed, was in bankrupt condition and was
not paying expenses The track was worn
out, the bridges and trestleS were rotten,
and the road bid fair to go to decay. AT
this juncture, Mr. Gable of Rock Island,
got hold of the road, the name was chang
ed to Rock Island & Peoria, the bridges
were rebuilt, new ties were put in, and
the road laid with steel rails. A change
was made in the officers of the road, and
young, energetic men took hold of it.
The result is wonderful. The road is one
of the smoothest and safest that runs out
of Peoria, and has had few or no accidents
during the past year. A. n Morton,
the general passenger agent, has built
up fine trade, and last summer made ar.
rangements to connect with boats for
upper Mississippi river points. The Rock
Island & Peoria is one of our most impor
tant feeders, and we are pleased TO chron
icle the success Of the new management

Rice's Surprise Party.

Next Friday evening at Harpers
theatre, Rlces Surprise Party will present
pop, or "the Fortunes of a Dramatic
Author" The Boston Post says of the
play:
Pop" WAS presented last evening for
the first time in this city by Rice's Sur
prise Party Pop" as play, IS not
entitled to serious criticism. The first act
bears very slight resemblance to a play,
but the entire second act is given up to
songs, dances and sketches, having no
bearing whatever upon the situations Of
the opening act, The performance fur
nishes a very lively and cnjoyal entertain
ment. Mr.. Fitzgerald is delightfully."-
unctiOus. His clever limitations are up
roariously applauded. Miss Dempsey 5
performance is dainty and pretty. Miss
Became and Miss Vincent sing and act
charmingly. The costumes are new and
elegant and the scenery is fine. Pop" is
assuredly success with the public.

The HindOO Cow.

A riot that recently occurred at Delhi
between the Hindoo and Mohammedan
residents of that famous city strikes a
strange note in the usual routine of a
DAYS news In the midst of the usual
intelligence of accident and crime, po-
litical complications and social events,
the telegraph informs Us that our fellow
subjects in the Old-World capital of the
Moguls have been fighting about a cow.
The Mohammedans had been celebrat-
ing their Fed festival, and parties Of
them, as usual, had combined for the
purchase of animals for the evenings
feast. One of the kline thus obtained,
however, was claimed by the Hindoos
as dependent of temple devoted to
their god, and therefore itself sacred.
Moreover, they gave certain degree of
evidence to prove the sincerity of their
statement by offering to buy back the
COW for the sum of a hundred pounds
probably twenty times the value of the
animal Nevertheless the Mohamme-
dams refused to part with it, and per-
sisted in dragging the COW off to the
slaughter-house. The Hindoos thereon
attempted a rescue, and the result was
a serious ARRAY, which was only quelled
by the appearance of the chief European
officials and strong force of police. A
few years ago the same cause of quar-
rel might have suficed to raise gen.
eral tumult, or even to kindle in the
city blaze, both literally and meta.
phorically. In all India probably nc
single act could be perpetrated more
likely to lead at once to bloodshed ant
disaster than an insult by Mohamme
dams to the sacred presence of a temple
COW.
No animal in all the range of zoolatry
has ever arrived at such diguities as the
Hindoo COW. The monkey is sufficient
