Ward caucuses ana convsnt,on

The democratic city township commit
tee meeting Saturday evening at Tegeler's
hall was largely attended and harmonious.
Mr.. W. IL Lundy called the meeting to
order, Mr. j. II. Yore was made chairman,
and Mr.. J. N. Reticker was elected scores
tary. The business to come before the
meeting was the setting Of the dates and
places of holding the ward caucuses and
the city township convention. Ii was de-
cidcd to hold the ward caucuses on the
evening of Saturday, March 2Sth, at the
voting places of the different wards, as
given in the call printed elsewhere. The
city township convention was set for
Tuesday, March 3lst, at the court house.
So let every democrat turn out next Sat-
urday night and make known his prefer
ences for good and true men who will
carry the day at the next election, and
then manage the city affairs to the best
advantage of the greatest number so that
none can be otherwise than satisfied that
they acted wisely in making the selections
they did in caucus. There are strong
men IN each ward who will make a strong
fight and give US a healthy majority.
Hunt them out and give them the nomi.
nation and then elect them. There never
was better chance to do so than just
now

A Great Battle.


A gentleman in this city received let
ter this morning from an old war comrade
whom he has known ever since they
camped together in the COS. lie says
that the incident Of the war which he re-
members most wildly about this comrade,
is one of great activity, although no fire
arms were used. 1t was in camp down in
Missouri when one morning his comrade
awoke suddenly and began tearing around
like mad. He was wild and frantic, and
endowed with the strength of several
men. Something had got into his ear
and was moving around on the drum.
Half dozen men took hold of him and
threw him to the ground, and the surgeon
was called. 1t was Just as much as SIX
men could do to manage him while the
surgeon operated on his ear. 1t last the
thing which had caused all the trouble
was brought forth alive and kicking. Il
was member of the species known a:
elmer lectuldrius, well known to mankind
as an inhabitant of the place where peo'
pie with clear consciences are supposed Il
rest peacefully eight hours out of thu
twenty-four, but which reporters neve
know. After the animal had been gent!
pressed to his soul, the soldier said tina
the sensation was as though hundreds Of
sledge hammers were pounding on hi:
head. The sensitive nerves of the ca
drum had conveyed the unusual distur
bance of that membrane to the brain witt
terrible shocks.

Work Under DimcpIfles.

Supt. Kerr has been busy having two
breaks in the watcrpipes repaired. One on
Elm street near Seventh avenue was dug
down to with great difficulty, when it was
found that service pipe had broken in
stead of the main. 1t was cold work
there, where the frigid March wind had
full sweep. The other was a split in the
main on Fourteenth street between Eighth
and Ninth avenues, which was fixed after
much hard digging.

The weather which has been prevailing
was death on politics l. was the man
who had the warmest ovcrcoat who had
the best chance to knock the persimmons
and he was actively hunting up polls to
do it with, while his opponent, perhaps,
was hugging the stove to keep warm.
Until today street politics were slightly
out of market The weather forcing the
mercury about zero has rather troubled
them, and it was hard to get up heat
enough to make the political pot boil

New Stables.

We understand the Davenport & Rock
Island Street Railway company contem>
plate the establishment of their stables in
Rock Island. As this is especially de
signed to benefit our city in the building
or repairing of cars, buying horses and
feed for the same, giving employment 10
blacksmiths, makers in wood and other
branches Of trade, the ferry company will
be expected to fight the location of the
stables here and do all it can to prevent
them from being established in Rock Isl
and. Anything that will bring trade or
traffic to Rock Island we favor. And if
our people. with one united voice, would
follow out this line ofpolicy Rock Island
would increase and multiply. Instead Of
trying to Gu, each others threats and
damn the town, our leading men ought
to rank together for the good of all inn
provcments and public enterprises. When
that happy day comes, if it ever comes.
Rock Island will take an advance, boom
and flourish in a way that will make our
citizens joyous and happy.

The Langham House Burned

CHICAGO, March % AT s o'clock Sat
urday evening fourteen fire engines
poured water into the Langham hotel,
which was mass of flame from cellar to
garnet. The fire originated in one of the
lower rooms, from kerosene lamp, which
was accidentally overturned. At the time
the restaurant of the house contained 100
guests at supper, and as many more were
in the rooms The people in the restaur>
ant had no trouble in getting out, but
several persons in the upper rooms had a
very narrow escape. The flames spread
with marvellous rapidity, and before the
second alarm was turned in, the flames
were bursting through the roof. The
general alarm was given half an hour af-
ter the flames broke out, but all the en-
gines which could be brought to play on
the flames could not get the fire under
control. Mrs. Belknap, an elderly lady,
was killed in jumping from the fourth
story into the alley. Subsequently the
cry was raised that the walls were falling
and that the Bullwinkles fire patrolmen
were inside the building Portions of the
south wall were seen to totter, and then
it came down with a crash. Six patrol
men and two truckmen have since been
taken out Many of them are horribly
mangled.
Two members of the fire insurance pa
troll barely escaped the tumbling bricks
and timbers Two others were pinned
fast, but after long strenuous efforts were
finally extricated. The legs of both were
severely bruised. Patrolmen A. Jones
and John Walsh are believed to have been
suffocated beneath the wall, no trace of
them having been found up TO late hour
Policeman Marks saw two domestics at
one of the windows after it was supposed
all the inmates had been rescued, he rushed
up the burning staircase and few mo-
ments later appeared dragging out both wo-
men who were rendered unconscious by
the smoke. The hotel which is a total
loss, was erected Immediately after the
great fire, and while substantial looking
outside, has been called fire trap. 1t
was formerly known as the Burdick
house, then as the Crawford, and recently
as the Langham, Cummings & Howard,
owners. Shaw & Son leased the estab-
lishment. The latter's loss is 10000; in>
surance $4,000. The building was val.
ued at $4,000; insured for half. Kietz
g. Son, picture frames, and Harden's hand
grenade agency suffered a total loss; in>
surance unknown.

Improve the Sheep.

N Y. Times.
1t has been a "house cleaning" time
with sheep keepers. They have sac
riiiced good many poor sheep, and
the experience of two years past
should be utilized as valuable les
son. When wool is low, the sheep
whose fleeces are the heaviest are still
profitable. 1t is the light, low grade
fleece which makes the shepherd I'M
happy. This fact just now applies to
every farmer whose products are sell
ing at low prices. One hundred
pounds at fifty cents a pound Just
equals 200 poundsat twenty-tivecents;
and the farmer who can produce 200
pounds of product from the same out
lay of material and labor as another
can produce 100 pounds from, can af-
ford to sell it for one-half the price
which the other may sell at. TO i'm
prove the flock, by producing larger
fleeces and better wool and heavier
and better carcasses, which will make
good mutton, should now be the
shepherds business. To rear sheep
for wool alone is exactly akin to rear
ing cattle for the hides and hair, or
poultry for feathers alone. Moreover,
by and by shepherds will not he sat
istied with tieeces which lose seventy
five or eighty per cent. in the scour-
ing. This, too, is point for consid-
Grafton.

Some of the Advantages of the South.

Arkansas Forest and Farm.
In agriculture, the South has the
advantage of the North, for the rea-
son that whatever may be produced
there may also be produced here, and
many and most valuable things be-
sides notably cotton, which all the
world wants. And we have, more
over, large supplies of natural fertili-
zers, such as mari, phosphate rocks,
gypsum, lime, etc.
In manufactures, the South also has
the advantage, as for example:
In leather, because weare nearer to
the great plains and pampas where
cattle abound, and whence the hides
come.
In wood, because the main source
of supply in the North, of the woods
that enter chiefly into the industries,
and arts have been practically ex-
hausted, while in the South leagues
upon leagues of the original forests of
the finest timber still remain.
In iron and steel, because here the
crude material of which they are
made lie in such propinquity that
they may be produced much more
cheaply than in the North.
In textiles, because here the chief
staples, cotton, jute, ramie, may be
produced in sighto of the factory that
is to convert them into the woven fab
ric, and they 60 upon the loom I'M
damaged by compression, with the
gloss-giving oil and natural fibre I'M
impaired.
The climate, because the laborer
heremay work in theopenair through
all the seasons, and at less expense
for fuel and clothing than in the
North, and cattle and sheep will
thrive unsheltered and almost unfed
the year round.
In sufficiency for everything, be-
cause the South has within hersel
the means Of producing and making
everything necessary to the comfort
prosperity and happiness Of a people
and is therefore totally Independent
of the rest of the world.
But the South does not propose t.
monopolize the blessings she so rich
ly enjoys. She throws her gate
wide open to the deserving of less ia
vored lands, and will welcome t.
''liberty-equality, and fraternity" al
who come in the spirit of good citi
zenship.
With these natural advantages
time and the application of the neces
sary capital, what may we not rea
sonably hope for and expect as a flu
ture of the South? With an area s.
great and resources so immense I'm
der conditions so excellent, we hav
the opportunity and the means 70
producing an empire whichfOr all tn
elements which constitute true pow
er and greatness shall far transcen
anything of the past. Even now tn
forces are at work which at no grea
distance in the future will bring it t
pass.

The South Iron Shod.
ottsville Penn. Chronicle.

Pottsvlle PENN Chronicle.
Mast has a suggestive cartoon in
Harper's Weekly. The South ''in the
saddle" has just ridden up to the
depot in Birmingham, Ala, where the
North has just alighted from the cars
and is gazing in bewilderment at the
furnaces, rolling mills and all sorts of
manufactures which surround him.
Pointing to the development of the
"neW South" the man in the saddle
remarks: "You whipped us, now we
intend to whip YOU" This remark
has greater significance than the
casual reader will be inclined to at
tach to it. Pig-iron from the South
has recently been offered for sale in
Pennsylvania at terms for which our
iron manufacturers cannot afford to
make it. The average cost Ofmaking
ton of iron in Alabama is $40, while
in the most favored localities in Pen
nsylvania it is $lS a ton. The coal
or coke, oar and limestone required to
make ton of ore cost, in Pennsylva-
mia, $l5, while the cost of the same
items to the Southern furnaces is only
81. Here is a difference in favor OF
the Southern manufacturer of So a ton
to start with. While this cheap iron
is playing hob with the furnaces, it is
certainly an advantage to the manu-.
facturers Of higher grades of iron to
be able to procure their material at
less cost. The way to keep up with
the South is to take her cheap pigs
and convert our furnaces into rolling
mills and establishments for the
higher grades of manufactured iron
