When We entered upon the per

ing indebtedness OF the Town OF
GreenvilloF TO the amount Of
s1,656.93.
To provide for paying this out
standing indebtedness, We had an
act passed by the Legislature at
our earliest convenience, author.
iEing the issuance of Town bonds
to the amount of $4,000; as well
as other acts we had passed for
the necessary government, and
advancement of our town inter-

Daring the present administra-

limits on all sides, thus lighting up
our whole town. The term of our
public schools has during your

his wise course in the selection OF

Maynard Girls.

From time to time in these columns we
have alluded to the fact that Geneseo is a
wicked town-not only wicked, but most
awful wicked. Notwithstanding the fact
that Kiner and his Neaos are there, Gene
SEQ still continues to be ungodly. Yes
terday afternoon a citizen of that town
named Keller was here looking for his
daughter Mand, who he said had run off
from Geneseo with another girl named
Ella Peters The first thing" said Mr.
Keller that | noticed wrong about my
girl was the day Barretts show was in
our town. My girl stayed out all nigt.
that night, and I don't know where she
was. She was in the company of the
Peters girl. The only trace of the fugi-
tives that could be obtained here was that
they were seen on Fourth avenue late on
Wednesday night with couple of young
men

The ARGUS is now vindicated. For
the past weeks we have been laboring
with the powers that be, trying to get
them to arrest Simon Schooner for cruelty
to animals. Simon, by profession is rag
picker He also deals in iron and copper
but not brass. He has superabundance
of the latter He has been driving horse
forty or fifty years old, who was lop sided.
blind, deaf and dumb, and had sprained
leg besides. This animal Simon would
attach to load of iron and drive through
the streets. Yesterday Chief Miller
arrested Simon and brought him before
Chopper. Chopper, when he heard the
complaint was mad. He ordered the
horse taken away from the fellow, and
fined him $5 besides. Simon paid the fine,
and the police took the horse outside Of
the city limits and killed it. Simon Will
soon have to get another horse or pull
the wagon himself.

The Big Trot.

D. L. Hall has our renewed obligations
or tickets of ad mission to the
great trotting meeting at the
Chicago Driving park July Sd
to It'll. The incidental fact that we never
attended trotting meeting in Chicago
in our life, nor anywhere else for that
matter, does not appear to danpen the
fond Halls ardor at all. Hall is the secs
rotary of the Chicago Driving park
Every spring, as regular as the buds and
blossoms, Hall comes forth fresh and
vigorous with his gaudy red tickets to
the spring or summer meeting at his park
We never go, but he keeps up the meet
ings just the same as il we did.

Chips.

The famous e. p base ball club arrived
in the city on the cannon ball train going
east yesterday, and put up at the Harper
house. They are fine looking set OF
men, away above the average ball play
ers They are also clever set of gentle-
men, being courteous aud gentlemanly in
their department, aid in very striking
contrast to two or three clubs which hsve
been in the city in days past Yesterday
afternoon they played their first game
with our boys. The game, taking it all
in all was one of the finest, if not the
finest ever played in Rock Island. The
only game ever played here that would be
any way equal it was the last game the
Milwaukee boys played here, taking the
tenth inning TO decide the game. There
was some complaint, or in parlanee plain,
kicking, done by our boys in regard to
one or two decisions of the umpire, Mr.
Eanus, of Chicago. In the first inning
the visitors succeeded in making four
runs. and that was all they got during the
whole game, seven whitewashes being
counted against them. Some fine playing
was done on both sides Hudson and
Cavanaugh formed the battery for the
home nine, and Rockwell and Bandle
formed the battery for the visitors. Hud
son and Forrest, of the home nine made
two base hits, and Goggin and Hagar
made fine double play. putting ou

1t is laughable to see how the competi-
tors of the Golden Eagle follow in their
wake. The SO cashmere suits scare them
so they have had their clerks busy for
several days hunting up their old shelf
worn clothing and this morning they come
out with prices. One advertises Globe
suits 81; another says Scotch suits s.,
and still another says Globe. Harris and
Rock suits for S.; but mind you, they
omit the word cashmere, which is very
important. This attempt to deceive the
public will not win. Remember that these
suits are all wool cashmere, are made in
the latest style and are sold at 90. The
Golden Eagle leads but does not follow.

Tonight is the night for holding the
democratic primaries. Let every demo
crat be on hand at his respective ward
caucus. This is year of years, and
everything points to grand old demo
cratic triumph. 1t is the paramount duty
of every true and good democrat to have
the interest of the party at heart, and
there is no better way of showing an
interest than in attending the primaries,
and selecting good representative men as
delegates.

of woe poured into his ear. The girls

it, the police should ferret out the young
men and make them pay fine.
