His Teeth Vouched for Him

A short, small fellow began to talking
base ball on Rock Island suburban
train. Nothing will gather a crowd
quicker on suburban train than base
ball discussion. The short. small man
did most of the talking. He seemed to
know all about base ball. What he didn't
know wasn't worth looking for. Would
the Chicagos win the penantH Certainly
not. Within two weeks the New Yorks
would be three games ahead, and would
hold their lead to the end.
"But object to that sort of an ar
rangement," said an admirer of the Chr
cago team; what right have you to as,
sumo to know so much more about base
ball than the rest of usS'
what rightH" exclaimed the small
short man. do you see those two front
teethf Well, they're not my own. My
name is Warner and was short stop oil
the Philadelphia two years ago"
The crowd look admiring at the two
front teeth transplanted from another
mans head and listened admiringly and
without question during the remainder of
the trip.

THE LAND OF REBELLION.
Interesting Interview With Captain
Davis ON the Scene of the North.
ern Insurrecti0n---RiePs
Position.

Capt. John B. Davis, superintendent of
the Winnipeg & Western Transportation
company, arrived from the northwest last
evening, and an ARGUS reporter was ac-
corded an interesting interview with him
this morning. When questioned con
corning the outlook of continuance of
the rebellion in the northwest, Mr.. Davis
said at present everything is quiet, al
though considerable dissatisfaction is still
manifested among certain of the Indian
tribes. There is good deal of diversi-
ty of opinion on the rebellion question, "
said Capt. Davis, ''but look for no fur
ther trouble now until next spring, at the
outside"
What are Riel's prospects, Capt. Da>
vis?" said the scribe.
well, that is difficult matter to de>
eide You know he is sentenced to be
hung September 10Th, but believe his
sentence will be committed to imprisonN
ment for life
How do the people of that region feel
about Riel?"
There is a diversity of opinion A
large portion of the population is French
and this class of people desire
the sentence committed. You see party
politics is a good deal there as it is here.
Both parties want the French route and
if the party in power can gain favor
among the French by changing Riels sen
tence. it is likely that a move will lie
made"
How do the halfbreeds feel towards
the rebel leader?"
Not very kindly. There is prevail
ing opinion among the halfbreeds that
Riel has got them into trouble and ther
deserted them. Consequently they dc
not feel particularly friendly to him.
think though that they would like his
sentence committed Whether there will
be any further instruction up there oil
not is difficult to determine The whole
trouble arises over land grants, and if The
Indians and halfbreeds feel that they ar,
imposed upon or in any way defrauded
they will rise up and rebel. As | saiC
before. there is no looked for trouble JUS
now"
Capt. DAVIS will probably return to thu
northwest in few days and then conn
back to Rock Island and settle down 70
the winter.
