SANDWICH, ONT, June l7.-Luke
Phlpps, the wife murderer, captured in
Chicago and extradited last April, was
hanged at ten O'Clock this morning.
Phipps assembled the scaffold at 1905
with firm step and very calm. Before
leaving his cell he expressed great sor-
row now for the crime. During the night
his spiritual adviser was with him the
greater part of the time. He talked
freely with the officers on watch. He
slept several hours and arose early rest
less and nervous, and ate light break
fast. When the drop fell his neck was
broken and he died instantly. He left a
long autobiography for publication. He
said he was born in England and was
aged forty.four; came to New York in
1885, was in business at Elmira and
Rochester; served four years in the
Thirty-third New York Volunteers and
and Eighth New York Cavalry. On the
scaffold Phipps thanked the Jail officials
and said the religious efforts of the
clorgymen had done him much good and
that he died reconclled.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
A few Reasons Why the Democratic
Party Should Rejoice with Ex-
cecdingly Great joy.

One of the strongest, and CT course the
best ticket put in the field by the demo
cratic party of Rock Island city and town
ship for years past, is the present ticket.
Every man on the ticket is a representa-
tive man, strong i'll every way. There
was an unanimity in their selection. Every
thing was done openly. The ward eau
cuscs were free from bosses or bossism
Every man in the caucuses voted for the
man of his choice If he didn't succeed
in securing the nomination of his man,
he quietly acquiesced in the choice of the
majority This looks well-and is well.
There is, as a result, no kicking or back
biting. And another thing that We con-
graduate the democracy on, is that the
caucusos were more largely attended this
year than was ever known before. We
have the word Of a number of prominent
democrats of this city to this effect. We
are glad to note this. 1t shows that there
is energy in the grand old party. 1t
shows that the party mean bust
ess-straight out from the han
die. There is no question but
that we can elect five out of the seven
men nominated and possibly every one of
them. Men who in past years, deserted
the party in the city, are coming forward
every day. and renewing their allegiance.
They believe, as we do, that under dem
ocratic rule, the city of Rock Island will
boom We have not iand will not have,
any words of disparagement to urge
against hecandidates of the other parties.
| They may he good men. All men who
desire to do right are good Neither shall
we, or do we intend to, find fault with
| anybody for voting the ticket they like
| best The right to vote as one pleases is
vouchsafed by the magma charter OF
human liberty and damned be the man who
will gainsay this But we do claim thai
no better, ADLER or more representative
men can be selected as candidates
| than the men that have been nominated
by the democratic party this year. AND
we also claim that the principles and Tho
tenents of the party, which our candidate:
SO ably represent, are the best, the noblest
the grandest of any party now in exist
ence. OF course the ARGUS IS demo
cratic papcr-a democratic organ if yol
are mind to call it so-and we are gla(
to say that it is. We believe in thu
! principles Of the democratic party, and fo
that party, and for its nominees the ARGUS
will ever BATTLE but it will never stoop 81
low as to vilify its opponents becaus,
they do not agree with US. Our candi
dates are too good men to need any peff-
ing and we are willing to 60 into til,
campaign with clean hands and clear
thoughts. knowing that the swift rune
always wins the race.

Our Ball Grounds.

The base ball association have decided
to locate their grounds between this city
and Moline. Captain Hagan superinten
ded the laying of the grounds yesterday
The grounds are about a block from the
Moline street car track in Brooks pasture
The grounds are 400 feet square and will
be fenced with plank six feet high. The
grand stand will consist of four rows of
seats, raised eight inches from the ground
A restaurant or more properly refresh
ment stand will be put behind this row Of
seats. An amphitheatre will be
built to the left of these seats.
The grounds are conveniently located for
all the three cities, and the management
of the association are to be congratulated
for the wisdom shown in their choice
There is only one thing that is needed to
complete the arrangements, and tina: will
probably be added. We have reference
to means of short communication between
the grounds and the city--a telephone
wire. 1t is hoped that wire will be
stretched, so that each inning, as fast as
it is played, can be known in the city.

Our Boat Yard.

An ARGUS reporter paid short visit to
the boat yard in the lower part of the
city, yesterday, where he found large
force of men busy at work, repairing a
number Of boats in the yards. We con
versed with number of the men, in
Gliding the bosses. Most of the men have
followed ship carpentering nearly all their
lives. There are over a dozen boats in
all in the yards. The boats are all sizes
and shapes. There are several large
boats in the yards. Nearly every
one of the boats are being repaired. The
general impression of the boatmen was
that navigation would open up about the
first of April possibly sooner, but it was
hard telling that The river traffic this
year, especially freight, would far exceed
that of last year, Passenger travel would
be better, they thought, also. The RATS
this year will be more numerous too.
Taking it all in all, it is evident that
things on the river are going to be on a
grand boom this year

The River

There is nothing that is new in regard
to the river today The ice still remains,
yet it appears to be going 1t is said that
the river at Moline is clear The ice gave
way late last evening. The water at the
Moline waterworks rose 8 feet in less than
half an hour yesterday. The ice in Rock
river at Milan is reported to be ready to
60. 1t is hoped it will, also the ice in
the river here.
