They Whooped 1t up at Milan.

MILAN, Oct. 1.-THE republicans of
this town have always been III the habit
of throwing the slnr in the teeth of the
democrats that every time there was a
democratic mass meeting here the dem
ocrats raised merry hades. Since Satur-
day night the republicans of Milan have
evaporated into the ambient air and pulled
the atmosphere up after them. They
have been trying to keep the disgraceful
performance of the hosts O. at Milan
Saturday night secret, but republican
misdeeds, like murder, will get out. As
is generally known, crowd of big black
"cOons' came out with the Rock Island
ers. Soon after the crowd arrived,
one of the "coons" opened the ball
by jumping on to white man, but he
soon got enough of the fight and gave it
up. Then number of kids from Coal
Valley got into racket among themselves
and spilled some gore. They had hardly
got silenced before number Of the
p!umed beer guzzlers from Bowling got
into a jangle and more gore flowed, but
to cap the climax a Rock Island man
with military title got mad at an old
soldier, who told him that he had never
made speech without waving the bloody
shirt, and the military person was about
to engage in tisticuff, when an ex>alder-
man from the city stepped into the crowd
to stop the impending fight. Some one
struck the ex-alderman on the Uranium,
and down went that parsonage all in a
heap. Then the eloquent military poll
tiCian and the ex>alderman got into their
buggy and returned to the city.

TAYLOR Ridge TOpiCs,

The democratic meeting at Taylor
Ridge last night was great success, as all
democratic meetings are. The big town
hall was crowded to its utmost capacity
by an interested audience Mr.. John
Forgy presided and introduced as the
first speaker Mr.. E. W. Hurst, of this
city, democratic candidate for states at
torney. Mr.. Hurst made one of his char
acteristic addresses, full of sound dem
ocratlc logic delivered with convincing
force. His address was received with
frequent applause. City Attorney Corbett
was next introduced and for more than
an hour he held the audience while ht
spoke in that interesting way of his. Hi:
speech was a fine effort from beginning
to end. He is finely posted politician
and he has the language always at com
mand to tell what he knows, and he il
not afraid to tell it either. The meeting
was very successful and good will result
from it three weeks from today.
Tonight there will be a mass meeting
at Edgington, four miles west of Taylor
Ridge, at which Messrs. Hurst and Ken
worthy are booked to speak. 1t will bt
held in Stoddard's hall and will be lively
meeting.

Not Married.

The ARGUS some time ago intimated
that it was probable that Cora Jackson,
alias Cora Wyatt, had not been married tc
jackson, the "coon," who had her before
Justice Halves for bigamy She was
bound over, however, and is now in the
county Jail, 1t transpires that the Rev
George Chambers, who was for a time
pastor of the African church here, and
who is now in Keokuk, did not marry the
couple as Jackson has asserted. Mr.
Chambers writes that he married jackson
to the mother of Cora in Burlington,
Iowa He further says that Jackson
became smitten with Cora's charms and
followed her to Missouri, where by threats
Of killing her he compelled her to live
with him. After he was sent up the girl
embraced the first opportunity to get
married, hoping in that way to get ont OF
the clutches of the fellow, but as soon as
he got back from the penitentiary he be-
gan pursuit of her again. 1t is probable
that the girl will get rid of him now if
she can positively prove that she never
was his legal wife, and she can do so by
getting Chambers to come here from
Kpokuk.

Sueclal Meeting.

A special meeting of the city council
has been called for tomorrow evening fol
the purpose of passing an emergency or
dinanCe for street and alley work, also fol
some necessary work on sewers. Itmus
be apparent to everybody that this is &
necessary thing to do, for the simple rea'
son that many OF the streets and alleys
must receive official attention and work
before the next municipal appropriation
for them is made. There may be a few
technical objections to this emergency
fund.- but at the same time it can not be
denied that something must be done. Il
is probable that an emergency ordinance
will be passed.

the foundation for match between Nc
Laughlin and Cation has been laid. These
twoiplayers are well matched, and ought
to meet if they can compromise on a
game. Cation is willing to concede a
great deal in order to bring match
about. From what I bear Mr.. Mussey
