went over to Davenport. He returned
towards this city about o'clock. When
he arrived on the bridge near the water
works. the guard hollered TO him to stop
but young Harris either didn't hear him
or paid no attention to the warning for be
drove on. The buggy had got nearly ovel
the railroad track there, when the C. r
l. & P. engine, which was backing down
struck it, throwing all the boys out on the
ground and demolishing the buggy. Or
picking themselves up it was found thai
Harris had received very severe cut OF
the face, and the other boys were badly
bruised. 1t was quite fortunate that il
was no worse, for had the engine struck
them little sooner, the boys might have
been soaring with the angels, harp in
hand, today.

Indiana

The Indian race is becoming more and
more indistinct every year. As civiliza-
ton increases, the Indian race becomes
less and beautifully less every year The
Indian will soon cease to exist only in
history, and in the time to come our
successors will regard poor Lo as most
unfortunate individual, as indeed he is
regarded to certain extent by the civil
lied race today. At least, as the Widow
Bedott would say, 'the's poor critter
While the widows observation is, in the
main, correct, there is something more
worthy of our observation at the present
time than the past, present, or the future
condition of the Indian race. Our eyes
were given us to see, Just as our ears were
given to hear. This being so let every
man woman or child see for himself Oh
herself, and likewise hear with their ears
II you want feast for your eyes, go to
the great Golden Eagle clothing store and
take look at the vast array of presents
which are given away to their customers.
See the vast array of good goods on their
shelves also. This firm does not fill its
shelves with old shelf worn goods, as Other
Arms do that we might name. Neither
to they have to depend upon poor rooster
to crow for them. when they get so sick
that they can't do their own growing.
Neither do they have to got pot and fill
it with little beans to attract customers.
These poor devices they leave to the little
cheap John concerns to do The Golden
Eagle is an institution of almost national
repute, as the American Eagle is an en-
blem of national sovereignty. When you
want good goods always go to the Golden
Eagle. You will always get your moneys
worth there. They do not misrepresent
goods, but tell you just what they are.
It is the place to trade, and not the other
cheap trap, catch and fool 'em if you can

the Turner's of this city yesterday, as had
been advertised. In the morning, when
the time for the excursion TO start, had

to have the excursion. The Turner's that
are there now will return by tomorrow

SUNDAYS GAME.
The game of ball yesterday, was, with
out doubt the finest game ever played
in Rock Island and no exceptions, The
attendance was very large and exceedingly
orderly, although great deal of enthusi
asm was manifested by the crowd present.
1t is estimated tnat there were about
1000 people on the ground, and about
fifty of this number were ladies, who
uttered their appreciation of the fine plays
made in rapturous manner. The WIS.,
itors went to bat first, but had to retire
with neat. clean, whitewash The home
nine followed and scored three runs
amidst deafening applause From this
time on up to the ninth inning the visits
ors never succeeded in making run,
while the Rock Islands made three more
making six in all. During one of the
time that the home nine was at the bat
Hagan again astonished both himself
and the crowd by making two Dagger.
This makes the second time he has done
so this season. Brown, the new St.
Louis man. made a three Dagger off q
clean straight hit to the right field, the ball
going along against the fence. Hunger,
the other new st, Louis man, with prac-
tice will make good second baseman. il
he will only quit fumbling the ball Hud
son distinguished himself on the pitch
batting besides, while Cavanaugh never
let bali pass him. The Z Mon Pacifics
seemed to get ratified after the first inning
had been played. 1t looked as though
they were goingto get goose egg to take
home in their hat mp to the ninth inning
In the ninth inning when they were al
the bat for the last time, they had two
men out, but succeeded in getting a man
in because Billy" Walsh made a wild
throw, McHenry umpired the game and
gave the very best satisfaction to both
clubs. The following is the score:
