For the past two nights the electric
lights have not shown forth, and all this
was caused because of the illness of Mr..
Clark, the man who takes care of the tow
ers. President Johnston tried hard to get
someone to mount the towers and fix the
carbons, but he was unsuccessful until
yesterday, when young man named
Renfro was induced to make the attempt.
He succeeded in fixing several towers all
right, but he was so chilled and came
near falling SO often that he gave the job
up. Consequently the light could not be
turned on last night Today Mr.. Clark
was well enough to fix the other towers.
and this evening they will be lighted up.

The parors of the First NJ. E. church
presented an animated scene last evening
it being the occasion of the ladies' socia
BILE and art exhibition, The intensely cold
weather deferred some from attending, no
doubt, bat nevertheless the parlors were
comfortably filled all the evening. The
excelency of the supper served from $50
to O'Clock was quite freely commented
upon, and upon arising from the table
one felt more than repaid for facing the
piercing blasts that prevailed outside.
Two fancy tables were laden with articles
isnumcrablc, which to gaze upon was
only to admire. The choice exhibit of
needle work found ready sale, and each
purchaser conceded that ne got more
than his moneys worth Miss Bessie
sCleaveland. the charming little daughter
Of Capt II. c. cleveland, personated
the old weman who lived in shoe, and
she clcverly entertained all who visited
her aomiciie. Her supply of child
rem appeared TO be even more
mul!ifarious than the proverbial
mother, for as soon as enc was consign-
ed to the unmerciful care of some limo
cent young gent or fatherless married
man, another would spring in Its place
The art exhibition was one of the main
features of the evenings entertainment
and was highly creditable tn the commit.
! tee in charge. Mrs, ]. F. Robinson and
MIS-. j. H. Wilson. There were 105
pieces on exhibition and the printed cata-
loguc with which each visitor was fur
nished, made It a most Interesting study
The collections were of the humorous or.
der, and many hearty laugh was heard
Issuing from the sacred precincts of the
gallery" The ladies of the church rcaliz
ed neat little sum. we are glad to say,
and at the same time treated our citizens
to a most enjoyable entertainment.

The fore part Of last night was bitterly
cold. The thermometer marked IS de-

Mr. Aug. lIuesings it registered % de-

the cold would be intense this morning
% to 80 degrees below zero-but about
one O'Clock the weather began to
moderate, and this morning thermome
tiers registered s to 10 degrees below zero.
While that was cold enough, it was much
warmer than The people generally expects

Among the Rock Islanders who will
witness the billiardistic event of the sea
son in Central Music hall, Chicago to
night between VIM Cation, of this city,
and Mclaughlin, of Philadelphia, viii be:
Messrs. II. J. Symes, Major Beardsley,
p OMara Phil Miller, George Lamont,
and Chris Mctch. The match is the talk
of the town in Chicago and the hall will
be crowded from pit TO dome. As has
been before stated in the ARGUS. the
match is for 81 900 a side and will be
bonafde game. Three thousand points
are to be played, 1900 tonight and 1900
tomorrow night. The game viii be a
straight raIl three bail contest, and the
contestants are 50 evenly matched thst it
will be very interesting. Cation has been
trained by Jacob Schaefer, THE wizard, ="
and Mclaughlin by Charles Slosson and
Arson. Both have made wonderful runs
at straight rail
Mr.. H. J. Symes, who is splendid
billiardist, and champion of the tri>cities,
and who has very often played with Cat
ton, was asked this morning what he
thought of the Rock Island boys chances.
Il think he will wn," said Mr.. Symes;
she is the nerviest little player ever
saw. He taxes everything coOlly, and
| never gets ratified as the boys say. He
! doesn't drink, and never has to any ex
tent, so that his nerves are in excellent
| condition, and he can make the most del
| icaie shots you ever saw. Shots that a
man who was excitable would be sure TO
| miss from the simple fact that he would
be afraid in the start that he could not
make them, but Billy will pick up his cue
and make the shot as though it was a
matter of course that he should do 50 !"
IF he wins this match what will he do
| next?"
He will come down to Rock Island
with me to spend the holidays at home
If he does | hope to arrange for an exhi>
bition After the Schafer- Slosson match
Billy and 'the Wizard are going to En-
rope where they will meet some of the
finest players of that country. Among
Others, Vignaux, the famous French bil>
liardist. l tell you want to see Billy win
this match. 1t is not the money he will
win SO much, but the reputation it will
give him. But mark what ] tel you, it
is going TO be close call for the winner
all things being equal. Understand that
Billy has been suffering with severe cold
for some time. He is not strong anyway
and the strain of this game may weaken
him, but we hope for the best At this
juncture the train pulled up and the
wearer of the championship medal of the
tri>cities stepped on board. The hun
dreds of friends of Billy Cation in Rock
Island will hope to see him come off the
victor.

10 be able to fill every demand promptly.
If We should tell you how many we have
already sold you might possibly doubt,
as you no doubt would think, same as we
did, that it would be simply impossible to
sell such an immense lot, but the fact re,
mains the same, and our prices only be-
ing about one>third to one-half of Book
store prices, we naturally conclude this
must be largely the cause of our marvel,

A Tribute

The directors of the First National bank
at meeting held yesterday passed the
following:
James NJ Buford this day retires from
the position of cashier of this bank which
he has faithfully occupied from the time
of its organization twentyone years ago,
And it is, by the directors unanimously
resolved that we receive the resignation
with deep regret, and, though he remains
with us as stakeholder and director, in
view Of his known business ability and
integrity, the bank sustains a loss by the
change;
And in the new business in which lie
now engages he has our best wishes that
he may continue to be as successful as he
has been in the management of the bank.
1t is ordered that this resolution he en-
tered upon the records.

more help, so all those in need of any
thing in their line can be waited upon
without delay. Their business has IN
creased to such an extent that they find
it necessary to hire more help. The cons

they sell clothing, and the polite attention
given to all who are so fortunate as to
call at their place. Their stock is fresh
and Of the very latest styles, and is sold

able to furnish yon tomorrow or next

all our immense orders, now with them,
The extreme low prices we have establish

far and near that has increased our bust,

people are patronizing this department,
