Long Lost Bonds.

The finance committee of the Daven.
port city council yesterday closed the set
tlement of the five long lost Davenport
bonds of the issue of June /, 1857, for
which negotiations have been pending for
nearly year. They were discovered in
an old box, in the attic of house in AL
exandria, Va, by the heirs of the pur-
chaser. He bought them in go, when he
was living in Lynchburg. Va, and slowed
them away. The heirs claimed principal
and interest-to the amount of $l3, 900
for all the years that have elapsed since
sixteen of the so coupons originally at
tached were paid. They were ten per
cent bonds, interest payable semi~an-
nually, redeemable in 1877. There has
been great deal Of correspondence on
the subject, principally by Hon. W NJ.
Grant, Of Davenport, who it was that
paved the way to final settlement. The
result is that the council across the river
has authorized the drawing of $5,51S u
for the five bonds, which will be de,
stroyed at the next meeting of the mum,
cipal body.

Many have been the expressions of
surprise that have come to the ears of the
ARGUS scribes because of the appearance
of SO many of the visiting firemen at Dav-
export, in state of intoxication upon the
streets of Rock Island. The reason is
simple enough. Many of the firemen in
attendance upon the tournament are from
the rural towns of the Hawkeye state-dis-
trlct where the prohibitory law is strictly
enforced. They came to Daven-
port, with the idea that it was a prohibi-
ton town also, and therefore crossed the
creek to the free. soil of Illinois; in order
that their appetite for the fiery fluid SO
long denied them-might be grati6ed.
The majority of them have, no doubt,
found out by this time, however, there
ale towns where prohibition is more
strictly carried out than in Davenport.

Quite an amusing little episode oc-
Cured last evening on west Seventeenth
street, near the postoffice entrance. Two
maidens fair were in conversation with
two young gents-ah, excuse US. one was
dude, regular heart~smashing, cigar
ette dude. just as the reporter noticed
the "too, too" air of the aforesaid youth,
an express wagon drove up and the driver
alighted. As his eyes fell upon the quar-
tette near the postoffice, his face assumed
a darkness. and scowl which fairly dis
counted the angry clouds which were roll
ing up from the northwest. The eyes of
the dude and express driver met at the
same moment, and the former beat hasty
retreat with the latter in hot pursuit.
What was the trouble did you sayG Why.
the dude was talking with the drivers best
girl, and the expressman's soul was sur
charged with jealousy, besides being a
perfect dude-hater.
The dude kept his antagonist off with
cane, which he fourished in wild
manner, while the other fellow made
him target for all the vile
words in his vocabulary. The
driver then demonstrated with his girl,
and again made dash for the dude. The
circus was kept up for some time, and
the dude finally departed claiming be
would have his rival arrested. Oh, wom-
an, woman, you are the cause of much
trouble, but you cannot be held RESPONSE
BILE for the antics of senseless youths.

A Foolhardy Trick.

This morning Willie Krusse, of Dav-
export, was riding to this city in lum-
Der wagon, and when crossing the rail-
road track at this end of the bridge, the
horses took fright at the passing cars and
began acting badly. The boy was fright
ened too. and, leaping over the front of
the wagon, his foot caught in the spokes
of the wheel and be was dragged con,
dsierable distance before the team was
brought to halt by the driver. The boy
was carried to Dr. Barth's honse on
Fourth avenue, and an examination made
of the wounded member, which was
found to be only bruised and cut. Had
the boy remained in the wagon he would
not have been hurt.

Not q Ripple.

Not a ripple of excitement permeated
the atmosphere that brooded over the
county buildings today. On the contrary
there was deep>seated silence which
was most oppressive. The cause of all
this solemnity is traceable to the fact that
the powers tn at be are still holding high
carnival in the neighborhood of Milan.
The only signs of life at the sheriff's Of
fee was the good Flanagan, who was
pacing the floor to keep awake. Deputies
Kohler and Gamble were at the
clerks Offices, while the tax sale
held monotonous sway at the
treasurer's Office. The heads of de-
partments are taking a long needed
rest, and together with the judge and q
goodly sprinkling of the bar, are enjoy
ing themselves, we trust. This holiday
of the officials causes the poor newspaper
man to ruminate sadly on the servitude
of his lot, and sigh for the quiet of &
Fourth of July.

River Records.

A great many organs in the upper Mis-
sissippi valley are boasting of record
recently made by the War Eagle, of the
ST. Louis & st. Paul Packet company:
leaving st. Louis at s o'clock last Satur-
day evening, and arriving at Rock Island
at p. m. the following Monday. This
they claim is the fastest time ever made
on the upper river, The ARGUS does not
desire to show any partiality in this res
gard. On the contrary it desires to do
justice to all boats on the river, and hav-
ing full acquaintance with the facts in
the case, it desires to give them. The War
Eagle made good record, but it is not
by any means the best time ever
made on the upper Mississippi. The
steamers on the Diamond Jo line do
equally rs well, on nearly every up trip,
and keep on doing it without uttering
word of self praise. Maybe this is be-
cause they are accustomed to doing it,
and if they were to surprise themselves
by exceeding their customary record once
in while they would be little loud
about it, too.
Now as to the War Eagles great feat
in lieu of which she thinks she Is entitled
to the Mary Morton's title, as the race
horse of the upper Mississippi, we might
say that horse that might run good
distance in a short length of time, if the
animal did not stop much until the desti>
nation was reached. The War Eagle
skipped a number of important landings
on her up trip in order to accomplish
what she did. And when she went down
on the trip before, she gave Rock Island
the go by, in order to beat the Josie
into Muscatine-buts she did not quite make
it, however But when it comes to talking
about good records. the Mary Morton,
which arrived here about noon Thursday,
eclipsed them all. She left st. Louis at
5 o'clock Tuesday evening, loaded to the
guards to start with, made every landing,
and five extra ones; and was here by
noon. She made money as well as time
by the trip, too. Why, it is nothing un-
usual for the Diamond 10 to make good
time. The Libbie Conger on her last trip
down left ST. Paul at a. m. and was
here before sundown on the following ev-
ening, and nothing was heard about it.
either, the ARGUS man having got on to
it accidentally. The Diamond Jo can't be
beaten on records that is when the busi>
ness along the river is properly attended
to.
