The REYNOLDS Rink.

The Reynolds skating rink was formal
ly opened last evening. The rink is 40
XS0 feet in size, and has one of the finest
floors of any rink in the west. The sur
face is perfectly even and smooth The
Reynolds rink is owned and managed by
Messrs. Walker & HolIister, two well
known and popular young men. At the
opening last evening there were $50 to
300people present. Twenty couples from
AledO, aud Milan and Rock Island were
well represented Gus Knittle, OF Rock
Island, the rising young fancy skater gave
very fine exhibition of skatorial skill.
Everyone present were delighted with Mr..
Knittle's performance and applauded him
heartily. He is making fine reputation
as fancy skater. The Reynolds rink
will furnish lots of amusement for the
people of that town and vicinity this win
fer, and is sure to become a popular re-
sort under the management.

Danies the Statement.

M Gilpln Moore denies the statement
made in the ARGUS the other day that he
was about to dispose of his interest in the
Gilpin sulky pillow to Deere & Co. The
statement made by the ARGUS was made
upon what we considered perfectly rclia>
bic authority. One thing is sure; Mr..
Moores name is prominently connected
with the new Rock Island Plow Co, and
If, as is commonly reported, he is to be
the superintendent of the new pillow
works, he will necessarily have to sever
his connection with Deere & Co.

Fire Bugs.

Geneseo is just now considerably agi-
tated over the work of incendiaries. A
man named Backiston had his barn burned
the other night and lost his COW and calf
and much other property. This is the
seventeenth case of mysterious burn burn,
ing in that city in the past year, and no
clue to the source Of these extraordinary
and somewhat disagrceable freaks has yet
been discovered. 1t can hardly be sup
posed that personal malice could be the
cause of so many, and the probable solu>
ton is that the incendiary is crank, "
of some description; but the successful
avoidance of discovery shows a marked
degree of cunning. The end of the rope,
however, will be reached some time.

Forepaugh's alleged white elephant,
THE Light of Asia" which appeared in
Rock Island last summer, died on Saturs
day at the winter quarters of the Snowman
in Philadelphia. The body has been
shipped to Chicago, where it will be ar
ticulated and placed in the academy of
sciences. The death of the alleged sacred
beast is attributed to cold which he con
tracted through the carelessness of an at,
tendant leaving window open all night.

A Seasons Cut

The J. S Keator Lumber Co. have fin
ishcd their lumber cut at the old Paige,
Dixon & Co. saw mill for the season of
1884. Saving begun April 10th and closed
November 10Th, thus running 1872 working
days. In that time total cut of Is, AL,
366 feet was made, which is an average
for each day of S4,S44 feet. Last year the
average per day was SO, 739, the marked
increase showing how things have been
pushed. We understand the mill was
never made to cut so large a daily aver
age under its former operators. In addi-
ton to the lumber cut the mill made 4, :
306,50O lath and 1896, 900 shingles dur
ing the season.

A Fatal Accident,

An unknown man was instantly killed
at Hickory Grove. ON the c., NJ. & st. P.
road, last night. He got on Conductor
Campbell's train at Mt. Carroll, and hav>
ing no money he was compelled to get off
at Hickory Grove. The train had been
side tracked there to permit the Chicago
train TO pass, and the fellow went up to
the ireman's window to inquire about the
size of the town. He stepped back on the
main track and was struck by the engine
of the incoming train and cut in two.

Jay Gamble, the Moline champion roll
er skater, went to Maquoketa, Iowa, on
Wednesday and skated five mile race
with Thos. McCabc, the champion of that
city for $50 a side. McCabe defeated
the Moline boy easily. This made Gam>
bic mad and he challenged McCabe to
skate another five mile race in Davenport
for a $50 purse. This McCabe promptly
accepted and the race took place last
night in the Davenport rink Gamble
won by two laps-1S laps to the mile
his time being 1881. He had his hands
full to get away from the plucky little
Iowa chap. McCabc is evidently the bet
ter and faster skater of the two and after
he has had as much practice as Gamble
has he will distance the latter. The
woods are full of so called champion
roller skaters who are dubbed with the
ever rcGdy prefix professor
