Where did they all come from?" was
the question you could hear asked on

to get out on the streets for their usual
moonlight stroll. Its pay night at the

women folks have got money and they
have come up town to spend 1t. This
was true, but there were lots and lots of
people on the streets besides the saw mill
people People from all parts of the city
seemed to gravitate to Second avenue and
in short time the pavements along this
avenue were packed and jammed. Such
mass of people has not been on ouI
streets at any one time this year. Every
body and his girl was out. The best of
feeling was manifested and so far as we
know there wasn't a thing occurred to maj
the good feeling of anybody. 1t was a
gala time, and we hope to see it repeated,
mot once more, but often

Cholera

1t is now the time of year when the
good citizen is scared into fits by rulnors
of cholera in the east Whether there is
any cholera in the east or not the papers
are full of warnings of what may happen.
The good DR.. Rauch, the great CASTOR
omist, high muck muck, heap big Indian,
great medicine man of the Illinois State
Board of Health, who resides in Spring
field, has sent a circular to Mayor Mott
suggesting the idea that it would be we'll
to give this city a severe securing. oh, we
mean cleaning, which is is about the same,
on tie principle that rose by any other
name would smell as sweet The mayor
will give heed to Bro. Rauch's suggestion
The only place in the city that cholera is
likely to break out is in the lower end
slough. The water standing there is
already attaining a sickening look Even
the bull frogs who have been making their
homes there are getting disguised and are
leaving as fast as they can. We don't
want any cholera in this city, and We will

going to have any if we can help it,

Fish.


There be suckers and suckers. There
are other kinds of fish besides suckers,
also. A sucker, properly speaking, is
fish that has lots of bones, and bites at
everything that comes along. 1t is this
species of fish that certain clothing
houses in this city are trying to catch by
their f1imsy advertisements in the papers,
and their hand bills scattered all over the
town. They say don't you buy any
goods of the gift concern, because you
have to pay two prices for all you buy,
and then you get auction offscourings ="
But the people of this city are not such
suckers as to believe the insinuatiops
thrown out by the bean pot false pretend
ers, or the other clap trap concern. The
people know that the Golden
Eagles goods always prove TO be what
they are represented. They also know
that they can buy better goods at lower
prices at the Golden Eagle, and yet a
present besides, than they can at any of
the catch penny concerns, The proof of
the pudding is chewing the string. and
all WHO doubt what the Golden Eagle can
do, should go there and purchase goods,
and see what bargains they can secure. II
you want anything in the way of summer
wear you can always find it at the Golden
Eagle, and Manager Loeb is giving DIS
count of ten per cent off on all summer
goods, in order to make room for the
largest stock of fall goods ever brought
to Rock Island Go there to get good
bargains.

Reardsley Talks.

We published last week communica>
ton from Mr.. II. A. Ainsworth. of Mo
line, who took Maj. Beardley to task for
certain things. Beardsley took up his
pen yesterday, and this is the way he
goes back at Ainsworth:
Henry A Ainsworth, Moline, Ill.
Rock ISLAND, ILL, July IA Sir: Your
open letter, dated Moline, July :. 1884
addressed to me and published IN the
newspapers, was called to my attention
on my return from Chicago, on the even>
ing of the 9th inst.
It is the first open act of yours to-
me since you have attained political po
sition, in which you have seemingly
sought to make yourself eminent by Sc
crctly and stealthily pulling others down.
If have spoken freely of your public
character, it was not until you had per :
sistently, coyertly, and causelessly sought,
by sneaking acts and slanderous speech
to undermine and destroy both my private
and public reputation and influence.
Whatever | have said of you has been
open, and not covert, to your personal
associates and friends. and not to
strangers, and upon as good authority as
that which communicated the statement
thereof to you; and I have had no occa>
sion to write roundabout letters under
legal advice or otherwise. respecting it.
Ifyou have been aggrieved by what
have said, the time that has elapsed and the
able legal counsel you have had have
doubtless been sufficient to apprise you
of the proper redress.
While / should not decline to enter
with you upon competitive examina-
of character as soldier, citizen, or
public officer, I am not inclinedto engage in
a Newspaper controversy with you.
JAMES NJ BEARDsLEY.
