A Broken Kew.

When the clerk at Lundy's general
store went to unlock the door this morn
ing, he found it impossible to do so,
from the fact that broken door key was
in the lock- A lock smith was called
upon and he succeeded in extracting the
key. The key was broken in two, the
bent part of it remaining. 1t is new
key, and of late pattern, and looks as
though great deal of filing had been done
on it. The intention of the fellow was to
unlock the door, effect an entrance to the
store, then lock the door again and pro-
eeed to take whatever he fancied in the
store. Chief of Police Miller has the
broken key and is trying to find its owner

1t is not often that the Rock Island 81
Peoria railroad boys can get off, but they
found time to make visit elsewhere Sun
day Passenger Agent Morton spent
Sunday in St. Louis, Chief Clerk Green
ough visited friends-and his grin Des

Press Greenwalt, who is now station agent
at Toulon, came up Saturday evening and
spent Sunday in the city. The Rock
Island & Peoria boys are good natured
and genial set, and deserve the
earth and all that's in it.

The Depots.

We made the rounds of the depots this
morning, as usual, looking for news. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st, Paul boys were
too busy to talk, any more than to say
that the freight business was increasing,
80 much so that they were kept busy max
ing out bills But the good Gray found
time to make the scribe present of note
book, telling us to give 'em a good puff,
and 10 and behold, we have done it. Up
at the Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific
depot great deal of activity was notice
able as is usually the case on Monday
mornings. The depot was filled with
passengers waiting to take trains for their
destination, besides large number of
conductors, engineers and brakesmen were
waiting for their freight trains to 60 out.
At the Rock Island & Peoria depot things
were very quiet A great many passen :
gers got aboard the train for Peoria at this
depot. At the Chicago, Burlington s.
Quincy depot all the boys were busy writ
ing, and making out freight bills. They
say that their passenger business is on the
boom.

Sore.


Fred Dean, who is at present managing
the Dispatch, a paper published in Moline.
feels very bad over the fact that the ARGUS
has been made the official paper of Rock
Island county. Dean labored under the
delusion that because the board elected a
Molineite as chairman, that Moline
would receive all the favors and prestige.
To the credit of Supervisor Cederberg
and Trumble, of Moline, however, we
will state that they acted most fairly, and
voted to give the printing to the ARGUS,
the paper which was entitled to it. But
Dean feels 80 bad over the affair, that
he maliciously lies about the ARGUS.
If he can gain any consolation by misrep-
resenting US, he can go ahead, for we are
willing to soothe his wounded feelings as
much as possible. We don't blame Dean
for being mad, either. If we had been
50 completely sat down on as he was by
the board of supervisors on Saturday, we
would be ready to challenge the whole
board to fight duel. And we wouldn't
want to meet them singly, but would be
in favor of tackling the whole crowd at
once. Poor Dean was entirely ignored.
and if one of the democratic members
had voted for him, he would have
given the member chrome. But no one
voted for the Dispatch, and in fact that
paper was not mentioned in all the con-
troversy Amendments were made in
favor of the Union, Rock Islander, iStaatz
Zeitang, Moline Republican, but the Dis
patch was left out in the cold It is alto
gether probable that the board did not
consider the Dispatchs bid as responsible,
and, in fact, they could not. The paper
is in state of decay, andis advertised to
be sold in few days. The board I'M
doubtsdly thought that if any person was
foolish enough to purchase it. that they
might not be able to hold him to the con
tract of publishing the proceedings, should
they see fit to award that paper the pat
ronage.

Northern Iowa Lands.


Mr.. T. B. Olshausen, agent of the Scot.
fish American Land company, at Daven-
port, is in town Mr.. Olshausen is dea.-
ing extensively in land and the number OF
men from Scott county who have pun
chased land in this locality, speaks well
for his ability as man to show up the
beauties of northwest Iowa. A great
many from Scott county have invested in
Emmett county lands in the last year and
they have invested their money well. Mr..
S. r. Millar, of Davenport has just pur
chased from him 1440 acres of fine land in
the southwestern portion of Emmett coun-
ty. Mr.. Olshausen says that there are q
nmber of Davenporters, among them, MIR
Oliver Davidson, s. r. Miller and JAIME:
Thompson, who are largely interested in
Northwest Iowa. Mr.. Olshausen sold a
few days ago 320 acres to a Davenport
party.

The Turner Hall Concart,

The musical concert, given by the great
Western band OF Davenport in Turner
hall last Saturday night, was one of the
finest concerts, of its kind, ever given in
Rock Island. The music rendered was
all instrumental, and the selections were
varied, and extremely well rendered. The
final wind up, the Dutch Palial' was
delightful to hear, and the mimicry that
went in with the renditions of the piece
provoked everybody in the house to
hearty laughter. The evenings enter
tainment wound up with a dance, and
quite number of couples participated
in tripping the light fantastic. The CON
cert was q success in every way and we
hope to see more Of them.

THE DIAMOND FIELD.
The Rock Island Boys Again do up the
Milwaukees by Score OF
Eleven to Nine.

The attendance of people at'the base
ball park last Saturday afternoon to wit
ness the second game of base ball between
the Milwaukees and the Rock Islands, was
large, some estimating the number of
people in attendance at between eight
hundred and thousand. The
Milwaukee boys won the toss and our
boys went to bat, and by hard batting
complied with couple of errors on the
part of the Milwaukee boys sue
ceeded in making one score. The Mil
waukee boys then followed with score
of two, followed by the Rock Islands who
made another tally, making them even.
From this on up to the sixth inning,
neither one of the clubs succeeded in
making score, but on the seventh inning
the Milwaukee club made three and our
club made two, making the game even
again. When the last half of the ninth
inning commenced, the score stood nine
and nine, with the Milwaukee boys at
the bat. The only hopes the Rock Island
club had TO gain the game was to keep
the visitors from making score. Every
body was watching the game with great
anxiety. 1t was an exciting time. Hudson
and Weber, who were pitching and
catching for the home nine were sent in
the field, and Forrest and Sage were
called in
The game commenced One fellow
made base hit. Hagan tailed TO get
the ball throwed to him. The next
man at the base struck out. Then
| the fellow on first base made sneak and
got to second base. Two strikes were
called on the man at the bat. Forrest
gave him good ball, he hit it, started to
run, but was put out on first base. Two
men were now out and no score made as
yet. The captain of the club went to bat.
He made base hit and went to first and
the man on second base went to third.
The catcher then went to bat He had
two strikes called on him. Then enthusi-
asm in the audience increased to a high
pitch. Forrest gave him good ball, but
he knocked it towards the left field
1t was low ball but hot one. AS it
was going along, Freddy, the short stop,
made flying jump, grabbed 1t and held
it. thus making three men out, and no
score made The tenth inning was watch
ed eagerly by all. In this inning the Wis.
itors tried to do what our boys had done
for them, keep them from scoring, but
they did not succeed, as our boys got il
two scores. 1t was the most interesting
game of ball ever played in this city. The
following is the score:

A Fight.


A fight occurred on Fourth avenue and
Thirteenth street late yesterday afternoon
between young lady and Young man,
whose names are known but are sup
pressed The young lady jumped on the
young man and scratched his face and
pulled his 4air, while he tried, but in vain,
to keep her off of him. The young mans
father came to his rescue and made the
girl go in to her house, in front of which
all parties were standing. We are in
formed that the reason the girl tried to
whip the young man was that he had
been talking scandal about her to some of
her associates. The matter is not at an
end yet. The police may take it into
their heads to inquire into the matter, and
then it will be sifted from top to bottom j..

The Christy cracker factory club are

The Peoria Journal has this to say of the
game played in Peoria Friday:
A complete walk away for the Reds
signalized the opening of the league sea
| son at the park yesterday. The home club
played strong game from the first and it
was evident that Saltwater had no chance
against them. The northern team was
weak in the field and no match for Peoria
with the bat. In addition they were
poorly captained and the score Is to 0
testifies to generally inefficient work. The
Reds played strong game, although
several errors were scored against them.
These attributed to McSorley, Kent and
Powell, did not materially affect the
game. The same clubs play today and a
closer strife is expected.
