A JOLLY CROWD.

The semi weekly meeting of the Rock
Island Turner'S was held last evening, at
Turner Hal. The Moline Turner's came
down in two omnibuses, some thirty
strong, and had gala time with their
Rock Island brothers After the gymnas
tic exercises were over, the company re
paired to the dining room and partook of
a collation. such as only Gus Herkets can
get up. About 10 o'clock the fun was a:
its height. The president, Mr. John
Ohlweiier, aOtth his bald headed hat perched
on his head, was master of ceremonies,
assisted by Mr.. A. Greosweld, their cap
tain. and we'll did they carry out their
parts. Some good singing was rendered
by the company and speeches were made
by those present The party broke up
about IL 30 after enjoying one of those
good times that only Germans can enjoy.
The Rock Island members intend Wis
iting their Moline friends one of these
days. and it is safe to say the Molineites
(who are regular nail drigers) stand ready
to reciprocate. Then look out for another
jolly good time.

again, and by so doing, viii become the
owner of it. The second and third prizes
are on exhibition at Will Johnson's jew
elry store. 1t will be friendly contest,
and the great interest manifested in it is
evidence that the lucky persons who carry
of the laurels will have to work hard for
them. Capt. Abel takes great pride in
his company, which is one of the best

THE BRIDGEPORT (Ct.) STANDARD
says "the recent election in Utah
shows the weak places in the new
law" and urges that these weak
places be maze strong by the enact
ment of another Law. The weakest
places, according to the Standard
are the permitting of Mormons TO
vote AMI hold office. Those are
weak places that will hardly
ever be made strong. No
party viii ever dare sug
gest that q man be disGrar chised
on account of his religious belief,
his conduct and practices being up
right. circumspect and lawful. Be-
longing to a church can never be
made a crime in this country while
our present form of government
lasts, and as there is a fair prospect
that 1t will outIast the churches,
nobody need feel alarmed over the
suggestions of cranks like the editor

Elk SENATOR DORSEY, in a spirit
Of revenge, continues his exposures
of the corrupt ways and methods of
his late political associates, and is
making it uncomfortabIy warm for
his party. Republican editors are
retOrting that Dorsey is q liar and
star route thief, and SO he is. 1t
does not seem to occurto these par
tisar editors that Mr.. Dorsey did
his star route stealing before 1880,
and in that year he was the trusted
leader and adviser of the Republic
ans. and the acknowledged friend
of their standsrd-bearer. What
ever crimes he has been guilty Of
were committed while he was a
conspicuous light among the lead
ing men of his party. He is no
worse to-day than he was three
years ago, when Republicans were
accepting his advice and using his
money for corrupt purposes. In
calling Dorsey thief and3liar Re
publieans only make matters worse
for themselves, by admitting they
are followers Of thieves and liars,
and maintain their position by the
expenditure Of money stolen from
the people.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT is made that
Noah's ark, which has been miss
ing for some time, has been discov-
cred, and very naturally it is located
on Mount Ararat. That is the
longitude and latitude of the craft
at the latest authentic account,
and it seems strange enough that
during all these years Of apprehen~
sion and anxiety, no one should
have thought of going there to
search for the boat. The story is that
some Turkish commissioners APP,
pointed to investigate che question CT
aValanches or Mount Araras sud :
denly came upon 8 gigantic strue-
ture of very dark wood protruding
from a glacier. This they ascer-
tanned to be the ark. There WAS an
Englishman among them who had
presumably read his Bible, and saw
it was made Of the ancient gopher
wood of Scripture. Efecting an
entrance into the structure, which
was painted brown, they found
that the interior Was divided into
partitions fifteen feet high. Into
three of these only could they get,
the others being full Of ice, and how
far the ark extended into the glacier
they could not tell. In closing it's
account of the discovery the Pull
Mall Gazett3 remarks: e" 1t is need
less to say an American was soon
on the spot, and negotiations have
been entered into with tie local
pacha for its speedy transfer to the
United States" Barnum must be
the man who is after the ark. He
needs it in his business, and Jumbo
needs it also, as modern boats have
failed TO inspire confidence in the
boss pachyderm.
