HKaxl. tha paddIer ;,

A fair sized audience assembled in Har-
per's theatre last evening to witness the
performance of Chas A. Gardner in his
new play of "Karl. the Peddler." 1t is
hard to distinguish where the new" play
comes in unless slight change in the
dialogue of the old Karl" with the adds
ton of peddler's pack is called the
new part. The play was creditably
rendered. Mr.. Gardner is the soul and
life of it and without him it would be the
merest bosh. His singing and dancing is
superb, while his dialect business is i'm
mense. He is fairly supported by Mr.. F.
Montague peter Stein, Miss Eff1e Johns
( Katie, land Robert McNair Pedro Gaudi. }
Miss Jennie Dunning, who assumes the
part of the domestic, over does her bust
ness. There is no neccssity,of such tors
turing contortions of the body, or fright
full scrawls of the physiognomy. And a
young lady of Miss Cummings build will
make just as many friends and win as much
applause by less conspicuous display
of her neither extremities. Mr.. Gardner
opened the regular season in Davenport
on Thursday evening. He will, of course,
as usual, have successful season, and
may visit us again before the season
closes.

Uncle Rubc, the old colored man who

day. II was addressed to Hon. Reuben

Rube was informed he presented a

Sand.

A crowd Of despairing republicans got
on rampage last night. About twelve
o'clock they were out painting the town
red and yelling Blaine SO that they could
be heard three or four blocks. They sud
denly got mad at our amiable neighbor,
the Union, and cursed it black and blue,
loud and long, all because our sweet tenn
pered contemporary took its medicine like
a little man and announced the defeat of
the doomed knight in yesterdays issue.
"Thcy hai'nt got no sand in their craw, j
bawled one booty republican. "Let us
give EN- some," cried another. "All
right" chorused the mob, and off they
started, and securing u wagon they went
and got Il load of sand and hauling it W
in front of the Union Office, ,rnloaded it.
and spread some on the steps leading
to the Office, Then they left q
notice posted up saying take q
dose of this before going to press. -
Then there was more hooting and yelling
and bOisterous conduct 1t was wild
demonstration in which the burden of the
cry was d the Union Republicans dc
ridiculous things Especially is this true
when they are in the depths of despair
as they were last night. Whether the sane
which was furnished to our courteous
neighbor will serve to strengthen its craw
or not is questionable We do not believe
there is enough sand in the state to dc
the republicans any good now.

Bogus.

The republican bosses rcsorted to ev.
cry means yesterday and last night to
revive the dropping spirits of their fol-
lowers. Last might at the republican
headquarters some fellow read purport
ed telegram from New York which stated
that a commission had been appointed,
composed of four members of the demo-
cratic national committee four of the re
publican national committee and four
prominent business men of New York, to
canvass the vote in several close counties
and that this had been done and it was
found that Blaine had u majority of
1900. There was a yell of delight when
this announcement was made. No such
telegram was received. The thing was
bogus from beginning to end. 1t i:
thought in the light of this event that 8
good many of the encouraging reports
said to have been received at the repnbli-
can headquarters were also bogus.

o. J. Dimick writes to August Huesing
from Chicago that the democrats of the
Garden city are rejoicing greatly. Last
night Mr.. Dimick says he saw dispatch
to J. Fl. Oberly, chairman of the state
democratic committee, from Col LamOut,
Gov. Cleveland's private secretary, which
stated that the official count in New York
would give Cleveland 1900 plurality.
MIR. Dimick says that he telegraphed his
congratulations to his old friend, Hon.
VIM. NJ. Springer, who was reelected to
congress from the Nineteenth (Springfeld)
district, and added the following: "God
buried Moses where the people could not
find him, but the people buried Blaine
where the devil can't find him"

The Ninth Commandment

what is the ninth commandment? said
teacher to a boy in Sunday school,
Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbOF."
What is bearing false witness against
thy neighbor?"
ut is telling falsehood."
That is partly true; and yet it is not
exactly the right answer-because you
can tell falsehood about yourself.
A little girl then said
ut is when nobody did anything and
somebody went and told of it."
THAT will do, said the teacher with a
smile.
The little girl had given curious an
swer, but underneath her ode language
there was pretty clear conception of the
true meaning.

4 Word TO the Wise.

The near approach of the period when
Rock Island sidewalks makes it oppor>
tune to lay before the public the follow
ing fugitive but of legal lore which we
find floating about in intelligent ex~
changes The supreme court of this
state has decided that it is the duty of
each town and city government through
its street commissioners, to keep all side
walks free from snow or other obstruc>
lions, at corporation expense, the same as
said commissioners would repair or clean
a street az the general expense under the
usual ordinances prescribing their official
duties; and that no citizen can be legally
compelled to clear his sidewalk by the en-
actmcnt Of ordinances in town or city
where the Office of street commissioner
has been created. In other words, all
public ways, being under the control Of
the municipal government, must be kept
clear and passable at public expense,
whether they be streets, alleys, walks or
bridges This indicates, also. that city
council cannot force the owner 10 build a
sidewalk in front of his property. The
sidewalk aud property on which it rests
belongs to the public and not to the Sit
izen who happens to own property ada
cent to it. The decision, however, is very
important to the man who never under
any circumstances shoyels snow from the
sidewalk in front Of his residence, He can
now doze with great serenity"

Foolish Bets.

The extremes to which some men viii
go in betting is illustrated by the bet of
two men in Pittsburgh, Pa. Both con
troll large business establishments. They
bet their entire business houses, goods,
business and all on the result of the presi-
dental election. The man who lost also
had several thousand dollars bet besides,
and now besides losing his business, he is
penniless and in debt. Such Betting as
that is downright foolisbness.

Mr.. Hasselquist Replies.
Rock ISLAND, Nov. s


Editor of the Argus:
In your paper of yesterday you referred
to something | should have said in my
sermon of last Sunday touching the cleo
ton of the fourth Allow me to assure
you that you are entirely mistaken. l am
not and never have been a politician, still
less political preacher. | said not a
word about political matters, not even
thought of them. But after the whole
service was closed, eXhorted my people
to vote and vote conscientiously. | did
not name any party, but said that had
seen one thing in town that | did not re-
gard as good sign for one of the politi
cal parties. | am willing to tell you even
that if it is necessary. l did not talk
about any corruption. What l said
was in very few words. am sorry that
you should have been led to publish an
untruth. T. N. HAssELQUIsT.
All we have to say in regard to the
truthfulntss OF the statement made in
last evenings ARGUS is that we received
it from gentleman whose reputation for
veracity will stand the test with that of
any other citizen in the city Mr. Hassel
quist, as viii be seen above, acknowledges
to have made political exhortation after
the divine services We're closed He says
he exhorted his people to vote, and vote
conscientiously. If politics have so lit
tie interest for him as he infers they do,
why did he mention political matters at
all? Why appeal to the people to vote?
What does he mean by asking them to
vote cOnscientiously? If he takes such
small stock in things political how does
il happen that the idea of admonshing
his flock TO vote and vote conscientiously
ever suggested itself to his mind? We
have not the remotest idci that MIR. Has,
selqnist is either politician or a political
preacher, but to a man up 3 tree it looks
US though some one was bidding for re
publican votes last Sunday.
