THE LAPSE OF YEARS.

ssnUT of sight, out of mind is an ancient
" proverb that has lost none of its truth
with the lapse Of years. 1t is as true to-day as
when it was uttered by the old philosopher whose
bones have long since become an undistinguish-
able part of earth. In view of the force Of this
adage, we wish to keep before the eyes ard in the
minds of our people, the fact that we keep con-
tinually that is to say, every day, in the week,
month and year, a large stock of pure White
comitants; that wesell pure White Lead and Oil
at the jobbing or wholesale prices of Charlotte,
N. c.. that we are selling Wadsworth, Martinez
g. Longman's Pure Paints at retail cheaper than
they are sold anywhere that we know of and that
we fervidly desire to communicate with every
man or woman, who wishes to purchase bill Of
Paints.

1t was but few days ago that the
ARGUS chronicled the fact that one of
Moline's citizens, Sam Carey, by name,
got drunk and was now domiciled in our
Jail. Another fond soul from the town of
smoke now keeps his fellow citizen in sin
company. His name is John Helene, for
a living he presses brick. Yesterday
he got full and made himself gen
eral nuisance, for which he was arrested
and had his trial before Mapes, the wisest,
to say nothing of being the handsomest
justice in Moline. Mapes heard the com,
plant, listened to the evidence, pro and
con, and then rendered his manifesto that
Helene be bound over TO court in the sum
of $15. Helene didn't have any money
likewise none Of his friends, or If they did
they wouldn't go on his bond, so he was
sent down here to board until spring time,

meals day, and occupy place where
none of his enemies can get into, to modest

Had EN- Bad

Yesterday morning about eight o'clock
the attention of few people onSecond
avenue was attracted to a man in second
story window of one of the buildings, who
was about to jump to the ground. The
man looked decidedly wild, and it looked
as though his mangied form would soon
be seen on the pavement below, when an
arm reached out, and drew him back Just
as he was about to leap. Thus the re-
porter was cheated out of genuine sen
sation by the cruel hand of fate. The
cause of all this strange action was that
the fellow had snakes IN his boots" and
thought the Shiny monsters were
crawling up through his pantaloons.
1t must be terrible sensation
or else the man would not have thought
of attempting the acrobatic feat The
man clerks in drug store, and it is pro
bable that when the proprietor is out, he
taps the demijohn too frequently But it
is not whiskey that he drinks, but some
adulterated bitters, that at once ruins a
mans reason, and makes him imagine all
sorts of things.

The article in last Saturdays ARGUS in
regard to the proposed new bridge caused
considerable comment, and many thought
the news was too good to be true. Moth
ing has since been made public in regard
to the scheme, but the question has been
quite freely discussed. We stated that if
permission was granted to the company
by congress to build the bridge, work
would be at once commenced, and the
structure erected. The ARGUS is still
confident that such is the case, and the
people may rest assured that the men in
terested mean business. In fact we hear
that soundings have been made through
the ice, and the number of piers, etc.,
necessary for its construction, have been
ascertained. Another bridge across the
Mississippi at this point would be hailed

besides being crank, was fool, and

and pinned it to the fellows coat. When

to get out of the way. 1t is safe to say
that they will not try to take care of theiI

Fire.

A few nights ago one of the editorial
fraternity of this city got full of forty rod
whisky, and proceeded to paint the town
red. He went all the grand rounds, visit
ing the saloons, and at late hour in the
night started for his sleeping apartments,
having lighted cigar in his mouth, but
too drunk to smoke it, He entered his
room, got his clothes off and tumbled into
bed with the cigar in his mouth. 1t was
not long until the bed clothes caught fire,
and the room filling with smoke caused the
editor to awake. By this time he was
nearly sober, and by strenuous exer-
lions, aided by another gentleman, sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames. 1t
was narrow escape from being big
fire, and we would advise the newsman to
be more careful in the future.

The Peoria Journal of yesterday states
that cyclone struck Rock Island, and
caused considerable destruction to proper
ty. The journal is a good paper, but it
was slightly "off'' in regard to the cyclone.
The snow fell thick and fast, and stiff
breeze famed our cheeks, but it didn't
quite touch the cyclone notch. Peoria is
protected from the wind by her dlstilleries,
but Rock Island is not so fortunate, hence
the definition of cyclone has probably a
different meaning in the two places.

Grief for Appolntaes.

Peoria Freeman: The government
guagers and storekeepers in Peoria are
beginning to feel up for the grass since
the civil service reformers have begun to
put their pet theories into practice at
Washington. 1t is the boast of the re.
formers who wear blue stockings and nc
garters, that under the new regulations
merit wins, and those who pass examira-
ton and obtain positions, get to the front
on their certificates and not ON their cheek
No favoritism. We anticipate the music
of the day when board of civil service
reformers will spend a month in Peoria
examining five hundred applicants fol
places in the distilleries. We see the
chumps and mudlarks cuffed aside. We
see the bright and burning genius of the
American people for measuring alcoholic
spirits and keeping tally on it that none
may escape taxation fully indicated. The
men who have spent years at the mill had
better be furnishing up. The civil service
reformer is coming. +.
