II Spell of Cold Heather.

The "open winter" closed last Wednes-
day and all theories regarding soft and
mild weather throughout the season have
since been abandoned by the prophets
and their relations. Thursday dawned
upon us with the thermometer 16 degrees
below zero, Friday 90, Saturday 80, Sun
day 26, Monday %, Tuesday 16 and
this morning 10. Friday there was
a fierce wind blowing all day, the
mercury at no time between daylight
and dark rising TO less than "a degrees
below zero. 1t is the general opinion
that Friday was the coolest day for 2
years, since the memorable New Years
day in 1868. The intense cold we have
just experienced has extended over vast
area of country and was the seVerest ever
known in the South. % degrees below
zero at st. jLouis and Is at Louisville,
is without parallel in meteorological
annals, south OF Mason and Dixon'slline.
Dire disaster has overtaken house plants
and great destruction to vegetables &C.

The Failures of 1883.

R. G, Dun's mercantile agency gives
an interesting summary of the failures
which have occurred in the United
States in 1883. The failures number
9,184 against 6,738 in 1882 an increase
for 1883 of 2, 446, or equal to SO per cent.
AS compared with 1880 when the failures
were only 4,975 the increase in 1888
shows difference of over 100 per cent.
AS in 1880 the failures reached the low
est point, so in 1873 they reached the
highest, the number attaining 1O,478.
The liabilities of the past year amount
to 173 millions as against 101 millions n
1882, showing that the increase in fail
ures has been greater in number than in
the amount of Indebtedness. Compared
with 1880, when the liabilities were only
60 millions, this shows a great advance
But they are far less than in 1878, when
the Indebtedness Of the 10000 parties
falling amounted to 234 millions.

Woe in Moline.

Moline, proud Moline is all ''tore up"
Some time ago the saints ef that city. at
least so called, assembled together in one
grand pow WOW, and vowed and swore
by the eternal living God, that the sale of
liquor must stop on Sunday. They ap
pointed special policemen, and these
spoilers were instructed to keep their
eyes and ears open. Sunday came, and
not a saloon opened. The back doors
were all shut and the click click of the
beer or the whisky glasses was not heard.
The people of Moline, proud Moline, etc.
were not used to being deprived of the
luxury of drinking. There is one party
in our bucolic suburb, Moline, who say
that the ordinance is q good one, and
another party who think it is ''d-mned
barren ideally and fraud" just how it
will end no one can tell. Both factions
are bitter towards each other.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-05-22
No Schemars.

The Golden Eagle clothing store is
called "scheming establishment" by
some of its competitors. This is mis-
nomor. The Golden Eagle does fair and
square business, sells goods at the lowest
figures, and throws in present besides.
This is what causes a ruction in the ranks
of their opponents. That majestic bird,
the eagle, which is the king of birds, still
fiys high, and were it so moved could
devour all the carrion, but its aim is
higher. The people cannot be fooled by
bean pot, nor the honeyed sweet coated
words of others. Business is business, and
the tallest pole always knocks the per
simmon, hence the rush of people al the
great Golden Eagle clothing store.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-05-22
Fame Abroad.

Rock Island has number of wicked
hackmen, and is also infested by immoral
drummers. The drummers stand on the
street corners and wink at the girls. If
any of the giddy things respond, they get
into hacks and ride all over the city,
drinking at saloons and raising thunder
Now, all of this is to be reformed, and the
hackmen who are parties to it are to be
arrested; likewise the drummers Rock
Island is to be purged, if it kills the whole
hack business.-Peorid Journal.
Part of this is true and part is not true.
Be it true or not it serves Bro. Baldwin q
chance to give Rock Island another slap,
something that he never fails to do when
ever an opportunity presents itself.
While it is true that the chief of police
here is ''forninst" any of this hack riding
around with young girls, it is not true
that the wicked drummers stand on the
street corners and make mashes on any of
our girls; and neither do our girls wink
back" at these designing, and of course
very guileless commercial men. Perish
the thought. The Rock Island girl is a
modest creature and does not, as a general
rule, take to MASKING" to any great ex-
tent. Bro. Baldwin should not judge our
girls by the young ladies who reside in
that cess pool of sin and wickedness.
The girls here are as different from the
girls in Peoria as day is from night The
comparison would be odious. We have
no Adams street here, Bro. Baldwin.
Our young men do not gather in great
groups on the street corners as your
Peoria bloods do on every street that runs
east and west of Adams. A lady can walk
the streets here at any time of night and
not be lnsulted, but we will wager you a
years subscription that she couldn't do il
in Peoria Your people are frisky set,
Baldwin, and though some of them
wouldn't fake a red hot stove. they might
wait until it cooled down.
