A Kissing Matinee.

The bystanders at the G. Il. |. & p.
depot had holy picnic watching the
cooling of a newly welded pair this morn
ing. They came in on the cannon ball
train, and were going to Peoria. They
were tony looking The young fellow
wore light suit, and had red hair The
lady was dressed in the height Of fashion,
and wore a sealskin cloak. They were
accompanied by the father and mother of
the bride. When they landed they did not
go into the waiting room, but remained
on the platform. The fellow took a notion
he wanted somes kisses, and kisses he
was going to have, and kisses he got He
throWed his arms around his wifes neck,
she thrOWed her arms around his neck,
and the way they kissed and kissed was
enough to astonish one into fits. 1t was
a holy picnic for the crowd When the
Peoria train pulled in the young fellow
took one, long lingering kiss from the
ruby lips of his blushing bride, before he
assisted her into the coech. When they
| got in the coach the twain entwineG their
arms around each other, and when last
seen were keeping up their oscuIatory
exercise,

Ex.MAYOR CARSE.
He is interviewed by an Argus Report.
er--.What He has to Say in Re-
gard to the Canal.

About two weeks ago at a meeting held
in the city, ex Mayor Carse and ex -Alder-
man Lundy were appointed as a commit
tee to go to Washington and aid, all in
their power, the Hennepin canal bill
The gentlemen packed their grips and
departed. Last evening ex- Mayor Carse
arrived home, and this morning was seen
by an ARGUS reporter.
well, Mr.. Carse, the ARGUS would like
to know how the Hennerin canal is get
ting along. So it can, in turn, inform its
numerous readers.
There is nothing new to tell How
ever, will say that am not so despond
ent as Mr. Lundy appers to be. A meet
ing of the Illinois and Iowa congressman
was held last week, and i'll that meeting a
great many plans were suggested and
discussed, pro and con. Three
methods of procedure were de

of the regular order; to expedite time, and
to offer the bill as an amendment to the
river and harbor bill A committee was
appointed, consisting OF Gen. Henderson
and Thomas of Illinois, and Murphy of
Iowa, to act as they thought best in the
matter. These gentlemen had decided to
offer motion under the call of states on
Monday but the call was suspended be
fore Iowa was reached. There is another
thing which gives me hope. Even if the
river and harbor bill is passed in the house,
it will have to go to the senate There
the canal bill will be passed, attached to
the river and harbor bill
so, il your opinion, Mr.. Carse, there
is yet hope for the canal?"
"Indeed, yes Its prospects are quite
bright. We have enough votes pledged
to carry it through, and the only thing
now is to get the bill before the house, so
it can be voted on. believe this will
soon be done"

mary arrangements, such as sending out
circulars, etc, getting things in order for
the great day. To act under the main
committee various subordinate committees
have been appointed to do their special
work, and of these none have been more
busily engaged up to this time than the
committee on decoration. They have
made extensive preparations for decorating
with cvergrcens and otherwise the various
buildings which have been chosen as the
different places of rendezvous for lodges,
encampments, committees, etc, etc.
The following call has been issued to
the citizens by committee of Odd Eel
l ,ws:
On Saturday, April Goth, the Odd Eel

thousands of Odd Fellows who will gather
here to commemorate the establishment of
its beloved principles, we cordially request
the citizens to assist us in appropriately
beautifying our city with such decorations
as they may choose to display upon their
places Of business and dwellings.

TranpB,

The tramps are getting too numerous to
mention in this city here lately. They are
a sorry looking lot. Two of the hardest
looking specimens of tramps seen in this
city for long time, were given lodging
at the station house last night, The
police always furnish them place to
sleep, but never give them anything to
eat. 1t would be good idea to Put some
of these Arabs at work on the stone pile.
If this was done they would soon learn
that this was a poor place to come and
would give the city wide berth.

4 Presentation

The boys in the Chicago, Milwaukee &
81. Paul depot are just as good as the day
is long The milk Of human kindness
flows through their veins in one perennial
stream. But to digrcss The boys have
been soliciting among the railroad boys
employed on the great Chicago, Milwau-
kce & St Paul road for few days,
money to buy a present as a token of
their esteem for another railroad man. Mr.
Mark Thomas, the gcntlemanly car ac-
countant of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy rail road Having secured the
boys contributions an elegant silver
headed cane was purchased, and word
was sent this morning over the wire for
Mr.. Thomas to come 10 the Chicago,
Milwaukee 4 st. Paul depot When he
arrived there he was surprised to find a
large number of railroad men assembled.
At first he thought there had been an
accident of some kind, but when the cane
Was presented to him, and he was told
that Il was presented on account of the
high esteem they had for him, he broke
completely down, but recovered sufficient
ly to thank the boys for their gift, and said
he always hoped that he would prove
worthy of their kindness and friendship.
Mike Yeargin, of the ARGUS staff, made
the presentation speech, by request of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul boys,

Cancelled Their Dates

The Union Pacific base ball club tele-
graphed here that they could not possibly
play ball in the city next Thurday and
Friday. They have also cancelled their
dates with the Peoria Reds on Saturday
and Sunday of this week. No reasons
were assigned, but they say that all will
be explained in letter they will write
This being so, arrangements have been
made for the Peoria Reds to fill the two
dates, and also play Saturday. There is
no club in the Northwestern league that
will draw larger crow in Rock Island
than the Peoria Reds.

KOzlik has been black listed by our
nine. There is only one league he can
play with now-the Union league.
How thankful we ought to feel that
Peoria allowed our club to get even one
score yesterday.
The Peoria Reds will play here Thurs.
day, Friday and Saturday
Harry Glenn acts as scorer in the games
played here.
The ARGUS is the only paper that pub
fishes the score as whole.
The U. P.'s had engaged rooms at the

dates here.

selves upon an outraged public.
Cox, the new Grand Rapids short stop
in game with the Cincinnatis, fell on tc
the famous Whites delivery for foul
bases. The Grand Rapids were defeated
however, by score of to 5.
The Peoria Reds gave the Rock Island:

standing Is to in the formers favor

labored under great disadvantage. A mar
named Windemuth pitches for the Rock
Islands in the game today, and Cavanaugl

it warm for the Peorias today.

and a change for the better The sun is

pray that it will continue to shine. When

feel good, and also makes trade better

past weather, but if the weather will re-
main nice and warm, they will again take
heart and get in their crop with rush

observed in the various churches in this

be, for the children are the hope of this
country With glad faces they will as
semble in the churches and listen to a
beautiful sermon delivered by their pastor
Their eyes will behold an array of sweet
spring flowers, the gift of an all wise
Creator. 1t has been determined by
nearly all the churches to make the ser
vices on Childrens day an event to be
remembered for long time this year.

Passing Away Time.

These are dull times with the haCkmen,
and as they are but mortal, being compos-
ed of flesh and blood, like other men,
they have to find something in which to
while away their idle time. Accordingly
q number of the hackies have procured
skates, and practice on the sidewalk be-
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets
on Second avenue. Some of them are
becoming quite expert. One or two of
them propose to enter race at the rink
with some Of the dudes ia few short
days. If agility and muscle go to count
for anything, we will bet o. the hackmen.

Ducks.

If sqr sportsmen want some sport why
don't they get out their guns and go to

ducks that 50 plentifully abound there
There isn't day but there are great gangs
of the feathery tribe to be seen there.
They are quite tame-not too tame. but
just tame enough. There was a gang of
ducks this morning only about thirty
yards from the banks, in good cunning
distance.

this fact can be found than the fellow who

track when An engine was backing down
in Moline yesterday The mule whacker
saw the engine coming, but thought he
would drive on anyhow He did 50, and
the engine just missed the car by hail' s

car, "Oh, what a narrow escape" The

couldn't speak The fellow ought 10 he

Late yesterday afternoon teamster got
his feeling all stirred up by little mis-
hap. He had loaded on his wagon lot
of sacks which contained rags. These
sacks had been piled up as high ~ he
could stack them. In turning from
Seventeenth street to Second avenue
about dozen of the sacks tumbled off,
and he lit in to cursing. Seeing cursing
wouldn't get them back on again, he got
of, put them back on, and started on his
road again, rejoicing.
