subsidized For while it seemed as though
the whole country would 60 to the dem
milton bow vows, but by tiding over the
storm calm was brought about, and
now things are serene again. Like the
furry created on Wall street, is the bust
mess now being done by the great Golden
Eagle clothing store creating a furry in
the ranks of its competitors, whose light
grows dim when compared with ;that of
the Golden Eagles. Since starting in to
make everybody happy by selling them
better goods for less money than any of
their competitors. and throwing in a
present, besides. the Golden Eagle has
taken the very cream of the clothing
trade, as any who know anything, very
well knows. The goods sold at the Col
den Eagle are just rs represented. They
are reliable and cheap. There is another
thug that shows wisdom on Manager
Loeb's part He advertises in the ARGUS,
paper that everybody takes and reads
The ARGUS circulates in the homes of the
best people, and especially has this paper
large circulation among the working
men, and by advertising in the ARGUS
the Golden Eagle receives all this trade
1t amounts to thousands and thousand:
of dollars. Long may the Golden Eagle
continue to scream for low prices ant
quick sales.

A Denial.

Harry Padfield came down to the ARGUS
office last evening and stated that We
were very much mistaken in regard to
the cause of the ruction yesterday. Harry
says he did not follow the coon in the
barber shop. but on the contrary the coon
came into the Rock Island house and
acted in very insulting manner. He
ordered the coon to leave the house but
he wouldn't 90, so he turned him on his
head, and would have used poker on
him had he been left alone. The ARGUS
does not wish to Islander or misrepresent
any one, but means TO give the news, lei
the parties be who they may. This is
what u newspaper is expected to do, and
in a manner that is straightforward, truth
full and in such way that no spite OIL
malice is held towards anyone.

A Pleasant Surprise.

\ There was considerable running around
noticeable among the young people in
the upper end of town Sunday and Mon
day, and many wondered what it all
meant The fact was that the young
people were planning surprise on well
known gentleman, and he didn't know
anything about it. Monday evening
about ten couples got together and went
and made call on Mr.. Charles Anderson,
on Twentysecond street and Fifth avenue.
He was not only surprised, but astonished
to see so many of his friends all at one
time, but accepted the situation in a
business as well as a social point of view.
The young people enjoyed themselves
playing games, listening to some excel
lent music and dancing, until supper was
announced. and then all hands turned 10
and enjoyed the delieacies prepared fol
them. At a late hour the surprisers
adjourned for home, voting the evening
having been pleasantly spent, and the
surprise complete one.

Koch.

Mr.. Koch, the merchant tailor, came
into the ARGUS Office with blood in his
eye yesterday, vowing vengeance against
everybody. He said it was all q lie about
him making coats, whose collars come
away above ones ears. This he regarded
as SANDER most vile, on him and hi;
skill as a tailor. We confess that We
don't know anything about it, Koct
may be good man, no doubt he is. VIZ
promised him that we would put little
piece in the paper about HIM and now WI
have done it. Mr. Marschall wanted an
explanation, and We gave it to him, kocf
wanted another which is hereby given
and the next thing We expect is that the
arbitrator will want an explanation too.
