The Tailors,

The tailors have not as yet made public
what action they took at their meeting IN
Turner hall yesterday afternoon In fact
it is rumored that they did not arrive at
any very definite conclusion as to what
their future course would be further than
that they would hold out until their de =
mand of uniform price for all kinds of
work be established in the tri-cities. The
merchant tailors had a meeting in the
Harper house last evening, at which 1t
was understood that those who are pay
ing the highest prices at present expressed
willingness to sign the paper of the
strikers. 1t is up to this standard that the
striking tailors desire the merchant tail
ors who are not paying high prices to
come. Tailors with whom the ARGUS re-
porter has talked claim that they do
not ask for raise in wages, but merely
for uniformity in prices in the tri-cities.
Whether the merchant tailors will accede
to the demand remains to be seen. 1t is
understood that another meeting is TO be
held in this city this evening.

The Dog Show,

The opera house was packed last night
to witness the performance of Prof Nor
ris trained dogs and trick pony Roma
The show was wonderful exhibition Of
what may be accomplished by patience
and tact in training animals. The Cog
Major, the clown of the company, is g
clever little rascal, and kept the audience
in roar by his antics. Shellbark, another
clownish canine, did many clever acts
also. The trick pony Roma came in fol
its share of the applause. The pyramids
and flying leaps were among the most
pleasing features OF the entertainment
The applause was at times almost deaf
ening. To say that everybody was pleased
is putting it mild. Prof Morris will give
a matinee next Saturday afternoon, and
there is no doubt the theatre will again be
packed. The show is in every way worthy
of patronage.

Saved by a Bunch of Keys.

Jim Wafer, II Davenport police officer,
owes his life to bunch of keys. Satur>
day night about 10 O'Clock he attempted
to arrest fellow named Robert Pelton,
who was creating disturbance at the
Pennsylvania house, when another hard
character named Jack McGee, lnterfered
and made several desperate slashes at the
officer with knife One thrust took effect.
The knife blade entered the officers leg
near one of his pantaloons pockets, and
as McGee gave the knife an upward
thrust to bury it in the officers groin, the
blade struck bunch of keys in the Off
GERS pocket, and was thrown out of its
course. The two men then ran away
Subsequently the officer espied MCGEE
near the latter's house and made an at.
tempt to capture him when the fellow
ran. Wafer pulled his revolver and fired
at the fleeing desperate and the bal
struck him beneath the right shoulder
blade, passing clear through his body and
coming out below the right nipple. Nc
Gee wos then captured and taken to thu
lookup, Pelton was afterward captured
and today Justice Kramer fined him $25
Strange to say MCGEE does not appear tc
be seriously hurt, and will be tried to,
morrow.

Important and True

A question of the greatest importance
to all is where to get the most goods for
the least money. The question as regards
clothing, can be answered very easily by
call and inspection of the mammoth
stock at the Golden Eagle, where you will
find an extensive line of mems furnishing
goods. Besides buying your clothing at
the lowest possible prices, you will re-
ceive present of Waterbury watch or
clock if your purchase amounts to SIS or
more. They are as plain as an old shoe,
and always glad to see you; treat you
just as well if you turn the brake on a
street car as if you were bank president
travelling for your health in Canada.
They have one price for all who come,
and that the lowest in the states; perfectly
willing to let you carry some of your
money back home with you; can show
right now the largest and most com Dlete
stock of first class business and dress
suits for men and boys ever seen in the
wild west, and if anybody can beat them
on prices they will make him present of
Barnum's Jumbo Now come and see US.
The front door is always open at the
Golden Eagle

The Holland DIRECTORY.

Tothe Editor of the Argus.
We have begun work on our fifth di-
rectory for Rock Island and Moline, and
during our progress have casually heard
of some party or parties having been in
various parts of the city, assuming to be
getting up directory. Not only this, but
to the question, where is Holland, our
regular publisher, have represented that
che was in England or Europe" that "he
was not coming" etc, etc. To this we
have to say that as for many years past
we are here according to promise and
hard at work and in due time shall issue
the finest work we have ever published.
We intend that it shall contain an entire>
ly new map of the two cities and fully
show up to outsiders the importance and
advantages of Rock Island and Moline.
Our authorized agents are furnished with
proper credentials in order to prove they
are in our employ and that our friends
and the public generally may not be de
ceived or imposed upon. Very respect
fully, JOHN HOLLAND,

A. j. Hill, the man who so recklessly
fired three shots at j. E. Bailey in court
house square last Decoration day, is 10 be
tried before Judge Adams and sent to
Jacksonville for treatment. His insanity
is now of a mild form, and has been ever
since the shooting. In fact that was the
only time he ever exhibited any violence.
1t is probable that his reason will be re-
stored with proper treatment.

Death has stolen into the household of
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris T. Stafford, and
plucked one of the tender flowers of the
family. On Saturday evening Mary H.,
their two months old daughter passed
away. Although the stay of the little one
was brief, the parents learned to love her
dearly, and her death is deeply mourned.
The afflicted family have the sympathy of
all who know them.

Logs.

1t is wonderful the number of log RATS
that are now coming down the river.
Daily large numbers of raft boats may be
seen on the river towing large RATS of
logs. The sudden and unexpected rise in
the river has caused large number OF
logs To be set afioat which it was feared
could not be got at until the regular
spring rise. Lumbermen are jubilant over
the rise in the river, and are making the
best possible use of the time in getting in
big supply of logs.

A Hnavv Ram.

Mr.. Thornton Snider, of South Rock
Island, went out to Presumption on horse
back yesterday and returned on the Mer>
Ger county train this morning. He re-
ports very heavy rain storm in the
vicinity of Presumption and as far north
as Taylor Ridge He was afraid to risk
riding his horse into the city, so he left
it at Presumption aud came in on the
train. The storm will probably deter
hundred of farmers from coming in to the
democratic rally this evening.
