The Growth of Eyenlng Panars.

The following is well worth perusal by
every business man who cares TO put his
money for advertising where it will do
the most good. 1t is from the New York
Ndi5 and Express:
The people are reading evening news.
papers much more than formerly, and the
growth of evening journalism has been
very rapid during recent years. 1t was
thought that a journal published by day
light could be great neither in circulation
nor in advertising patronage, but that
notion has now departed from the minds
of intelligent persons.
Comparisons in our own city might
seem invidious, but the rank of the Pal
Mall Gdzette in London and the E'gcEiRg
Herald in Boston, not to mention a long
list OF other conspiCuously successful ev-
ening contemporaries, is sufficient to at
test the power of the evening press The
morning daily is hurriedly inspected at
the breakfast table or in the elevated rail-
way train, and is then flung aside and
forgotten in the turmoil of business
hours; but when the weary workers turn
their faces homeward after the toll of day
is done they take with them the evening
newspaper to in crest and instruct each
member of the family at home, as well as
to beguile their thoughts during their
| ride
Not only are evening newspapers very
widely circulated, but they are very thor
oughly read, and the appreciation of these
facts by advertisers is evident from the
increasing patronage given by them to
journals of that class For certain kinds
of advertisements. and especially for such
as relate to the household aud its needs,
the columns sf evening journals have a
peculiar value, and the recognition of this
efficiency as medium between buyer and
| seller has been one of the most impor-
tant factors in the rapid development of
evening journalism

A Pointer.

The committee appointed to locate the
state home for aged soldiers and sailors
appears to be springing surprises on the
towns already visited. Its members de-
scend like the wolf on the fold, so to
speak, when least expected and at a mos
menls warning We mention this fact
merely to warn our city fathers that they
be not caught like the foolish virgins in
the parable with their lamps out and no
refreshments in their dinner pals. 1t is
generally understood that the entertain>
ment of the committee is to be of plain,
businesslike, sensible order. No scol-
lops or fiounces will be put on. But even
the simplest of receptions requires prepa>
ration, and we advise the brethren, there
fore, to look out--Peoria journal.
The Journal is right; there is no telling
when the committee will swoop down
upon Peoria. Shortly before it arrived
in Rock Island, telegram was received
announcing its coming, and as the mems
bers followed the dispatch at the rate of
80 miles an hour, and as they had less than
80 miles to cover, the telegram did not
arrive very far ahead of the members
themselves. But they happily struck
us towards evening on Saturday, and the
brethren had the holy Sabbath in which
to collect their thoughts

A srARosUMMER RESORT.
What Add Weaver Thin ks Of Rock Isl.
and as Place for Recreation.

That Mortimer s. Weaver were favora>
bly, impressed with Rock Island, its peo>
pie and the general locality, upon their
first visit to the city with their troupe last
June, was shown by their return trip last
week, Although this troupe did not re-
ceive the patronage here that it should,
it succeeded in awakening an interest IN
dramatic productions that has not been
shown here for some time. Although as
stated above, Mortimer & Weaver made
no money out of Rock Island. they lost
none. and they were satisfied if the the
atre goers were; they hope to come again
some day, and it is hoped they will. But
to the reason of this article and the par
ticular reason of the company being so
kindly disposed to this locality.
While the troupe was at the Harper
house last week, an ARGUS reporter had
several pleasant conversations with the
members and with the proprietors, par>
ticularly with the junior member Of
the firm, MIR. Weaver-and from
several of that gentleman's ideas and
plans which if carried into prosecution.
will prove of infinite advantage to Rock
Island. Add Weaver is deeply impressed
with the imposing scenery around and
about Black Hawks watch tower. and it
meets his idea exactly of place of rec
reation for his troupe during the
summer season 1t is not an idle
thought with Mr.. Weaver, and if nego>
tiations can be made for the purchase of
the old Milan paper mill it will be cons
verted into summer resort for the Nor
timer Il Weaver troupe.
1T is our desire, said Mr.. Weaver,
speaking of the scheme, "to keep the
members of our troupe together as much
as possible; it is better for us and better
for them. We have endeavored as you
will see, to get good class of people and
fortunately many married couples are
members. As it ls, we have a good time
socially when on the road We endeav-
or to keep up our moral standard as well
as theatrical Now if Mr.. Mortimer and
myself succeed in getting that property,
here is where we will spend our summer
months together. There will be no dis
solution of the troupe. We can all enjoy
ourselves out there together; there will
not be the expense of going to one
of those eastern summer resorts L
put in several months in extravaganza
and derive no benefit whatever. Blu
there on those beautiful bluffs there i!
just as much novelty and just as mucl
rest and recreation"
! The scribe made up his mind that Mr.
Weaver was in earnest in the matter, AM
Mr.. Mortimer seems to join with his part
ner in opinion and intentions. TIL,
troupe is at Davenport this week; goe
farther west through Iowa until Omahi
is reached, after which an eastern circui
will be taken. running up into Canada
Next summer the troupe will probably
rest in its own resort on Rock river.

veterans will be held at the Commercial
house, in Monmouth, on Monday, Sep
TENDER 14th, 1885, to which all comrades

ried out:
To Kill the Blues.

Generally speaking, if you are troubled
with the blues" and can not tell why,
you may be certain that 1t springs from
physical weakness Instead of lying on
q sofa and counting painful ideas, if you
are despairing lover, hypochondriac,
or valetudinarian, you should be up and
stirring yourself. The blood of melans
choly man is thick and slow, creeping
sluggishly through his veins like muddy
waters in a canal; the blood of your mer
ry, chirping philosopher is clear and
quick, brisk as newly preached cham
payne Try, therefore, to set your blood
in motion. To effect this, don't go to
guzzling down brandy smashes, gin cock
tails or any of the other juggling COM
pounds in which alcohol is disguised; for
every artificial stimulant will drag you
down two degrees for every one it lifts
you up. The devil always beats us at
barter. Try. rather, what smart walk
will do for you set your pegs in motion
on rough, rocky ground, or hurry them
up a steep, cragged hill; build stone
wall; swing an axe over pile of hickory
or rock maple; turn grindstone; dig
bitches; practice ground or lofty tum-
bling; pour water into sleeves with the
Danaides, or, with Sisyphus. up in the
high hill heave huge round stone" in
short, do anything that will start the per-
spiration, and you will soon cease to have
your brains lined with black, as Burton
expresses it, or to rise in the morning. as
Cowper did, ''like an internal frog out of
Acheron, crowned with the ooze and mud
Of melancholy"

Home From Europe.

Mr. Thomas Lees, of Coal Valley, was
in the city this morning on his way home
from trip to Europe. He left Coal Val
ley on the 25th day of last April, and
sailed from New York on the 2d of May
for Liverpool on the steamer Aurania.
The greater part of his visiting was done
at Oldham, near Manchester England,
the home of his birth. 1t is needless to
say that he had thoroughly enjoyable
trip, which is the second one he has made
to Europe since his residence in the
United States.

Consistency.

The Union refused to publish DR.. Bow
man letter because it contained "peppery
personalities. but when windy Dimick
sent in an efrusion few days later they
readily gave it space, and this, too, when
the former production twitted on facts
and the latter was senseless attack
This shows the Unions consistency in its
true light 1t has taken sides with the ex-
purser to crush the ARGUS, but we are
glad to say that the crushing" is all on
the other side. As far as Dimick is con-
cerned, we will continue to publish the
news in an impartial manner, notwith>
standing his threats and hourishes. We
would advise him to bottle up his wrath
and act sensible.

A Magazine Swlndler.

Not long since book agent carrying a
list of the standard periodical magazines
of the day, visited number of houses in
the central and eastern part of the city,
representing himself as general travelling
agent for Godey's Lady's Book, Harper's
Monthly, The Century, Frank Leslie, and
in fact all standard magazines. He stated
from house to house that owing TO the
extreme dull times, it had become
necessary to reduce the regular
price of these magazines and with a
view of increasing subscriptions, the
various publishing houses had decided to
offer inducements, the chrome which he
carried being one. He represented that
he had been told to offer these reduced
subscription rates on condition that half
be paid him in advance, and the other
half payable at the expiration of six
months Many ladies We're forgetful
enough to believe his yarns. and he co.'s
lected several dollars before leaving the
city, giving in each instance a receipt in
the name of the publishing house from
which the magazine subscribed for is is
sued A business man, whose wife was
led into the trap by the smooth tongued
rascal, wrote to the various publishing
houses in New York, and was promptly
answered that no such person was aus
thorized to canvass for them. The rogue

County Fairs,

The season for county fairs is upon lis,
and the mellow pumpkin and fatted steer
will be arrayed for inspection. 4 fair is
in progress at Albany, Whiteside county.
this week, and next week comes the
Hillsdale and following that the Coe fair.
Mr.. N. J. Blackburn. of Joslin, secretary
of the Hillsdale Fair association. was in
the city today. in the interest of the com
ing exhibition at his place. He feels san
guine that the fair is going to be huge
success. as he with the other brethren,
have girded up their loins and besides in
tending to have grand exhibit, propose
to drum up big crowd and make every
body enjoy themselves. Having kindly
feeling towards the association and desir-
ing to give the fair a friendly boost,
we agreed to Offer two yearly
subscriptions to the Weekly ARGUS as
special premiums, and gave Blackburn
and his cohorts the liberty of offering
them on any article they may wish. We
look for large exhibit of the article for
which it is offered. Although we wish
the democrats no hard luck, we trust some
modest republican will draw the prize,
so that we could be the means of benefit
ing him morally as well as intellectually.
A man who reads nothing but republican
papers nowadays is sadly deficient in the
ways of the world, and it will be quite a
treat to peruse good, live democratic
paper. Who will be the happy man?

The Butler wing of the republican par
ty in this city appears at the present
time to be taking a decidedly lively in
terest in the affairs of the democracy
especially in the matter Of appointments
They not only make known who they
would like to have appointed for the diff
ferent positions, but actually seek to
control the federal patronage. The old
reprobate of the Rock Islander, of course
is the main mover in the project to rob
the democrats of their dues, and he is
very assidiOus in his efforts 1t is said
that he even went so far as to cenSure
Congressman Neece on Monday evening,
for not making certain appointment.
If Mr.. Neece was as thoroughly ac>
quainted with this blatant shyster as
the people of this county, he would
have little to do with him. 1t was the
votes of good, honest democrats that es,
tablished the present administration, and
now that we have achieved a victory, we
do not propose to let our enemies dictate
to us in any manner. Danforth was the
tool of the republicans last fall anC
spring, and he should not now be allowed
to use the democratic party to further hii
ends.
