A Reduction of Wages.

Col Flagler, commander of Rock
Island arsenal, Saturday evening issued a
notice to the effect that hereafter all the
laborers on the island would be paid 81. 81
q day instead of the former price Of
$3.50. This is probably done to kind Of
even up on the eight hour law, which
was recently enforced. The men were
just congratulating Themselves on the
reduction of time, but the reduction OF
pay was unexpected, and naturally dissat
isfactory There is no doubt but that this
new order will cause trouble, and we hear
that already the men are making prepare
tons for demonstration. $3.50 day is
none too much. The laboring man should
be allowed to live, and the government
can surely afford to pay as much for theiI
employees as can private individuals. The
men shoqld not act hasty in this matter.
Let them continue at work for the present
and use argumentatiye power to bring
about satisfactory settlement of theiI
grievances. The ARGUS wishes TO see the
workingmen fully compensated for theii
labor, and will do what it can in aiding
them to secure their rights.

Dudes.

There was couple of young dudes,
from Peoria, coming over the river on the
ferry boat about sunset last evening. They
were both well dressed, but they were
fuller'n tick. When the boat would
rock a little, one of the fellows would
catch hold of post. thinking that the
boat was about to tip over, and that he
would hold it level. This fellow was
nearly asleep, and his partner would drop
lump of coal on his feet every few min
utes to keep him awake. He finally
blackened his face so he looked like q
negro minstrel. They were put on the
train and sent home to their mamas,

A Big Fire.

There was big fire on the line of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul line road
last Saturday The blaze occurred at
Dakota, small station about half way
between here and Milwaukee. Mr.. Jacob
Williams, an extensive grain dealer of
Freeport, operates large elevator at that
point In some manner fire started in
the engine room, of the elevator about
noon, and before it was discovered, the
flames had gained such Roadway that it
was impossible to check them. From the
elevator the flames were communicated to
the depot. which building was at the
| mercy of the flames in a short time.
There were no facilities for putting on
the fire, and the crowd of people which
had gathered could do nothing but stand
and gaze at the sea of flames, which were
throwing out an intense heat. There were
about 1900 bushels of grain in the ele>
vator, and it was all destroyed, togethe
with the building. All the railroad com
pany's property in the depot was saved,
but the building was soon burned to the
ground.
While the fire was raging at its fiercest,
passenger train No. from Milwaukee
came along, in charge of Conductor
KetChingman. The train was Stacked up
and 'Ketch" went forward to investigate
The track was clear, but the heat from TIT
burning ruins was so great that it was
hardly safe to try to get by, without dam
aging the cars and endangering the live!
of the passengers. The wires were al
down, so the train men could receive NJ
orders, and the conductor had to rely OF
his own judgment as what to do in the
emergency. After waiting about an hou
and a half, "Ketch' decided to pass the
depot at all hazards. So he ordered tn,
engineer TO get 200 pounds of steam, ant
then pull the throttle wide open. Thi.
was done, and the train rushed by TIT
dangerous spot like a whirlwind. Con
sequently the cars were not injured in th'
least, and by a little careful management
the company was saved considerable ex
pense.

It is an excellent thing to have a
well-kept house and finely appointed
table; but, after all, the best cheer
of ever home must come from the
heart and manner of the home moth

the wealth of India cannot make the
home pleasant and inviting. Intelli.
gence, too, must lend its charm if We
would have home IN Eden. The SO
vcre style of house order neatness
seldom leaves much margin for intel

living and house furnishing would
set many bonded slave ut liberty
and add greatly to the comforts OF
all the household. There are cabin
homes that have been and arc re
mcmbercd with pleasure, because OF
the beautiful loving presence there
and stately homes without it are but
dull and cheerless habitations.
