rnR.anrAr MUSIC ~ rYNNr

OF The Present Decade id Wheeling to
N occur Tonight. ~
wheeling's first grand May Musical
Festival concert occurs tonight at shay's
Academy Of Music. So much has been
said and written about this event that
there really remains nothing more TO be
said about 1t until II shall be over and
a thing Of the past. Theodore Thomas,
his orchestra Of sixty pieces and the csle-
brated yocalists accompanying him on
this spring'sto tour viii leave Pittsburgh on
a special train this afternoon after the
matinee in that city, which closes the
Festival there, and arrive here about 9
o'clock. Everyone should be in their
seats at 8 o'clock prompt, for pune
tuality is ono Of Mr.. Thomas most distin-
gushing characteristics. Those that arc
late will have 10 wait until the number
being played Ia concluded before taking
their seats. All the artists are billed to
appear, including Miss Jucli, who was pre-
vented from singing In Pittsburgh Thurs
day night by sickness. II will be noted
event In Wheeling's annals and one that
will probably DO repeated provided the
proper appreciation Is shown tonight, not
only OF the concert but OF the efforts Of
Nessrs. Reister and Banner in bringing
Thomas here.
The demand for seats was quite lively
yesterday, a block Of sixty being marked
OF among the rest for Wellsburg people.
There are still, however, a few good seats
left, but they will probably be gone by
noon to-day.
Aspecial received from Pittsburgh last
night says that the audience was one Of
the most fashionable ever seen in Pits
burgh. Madame Fursch- Madi's glorious
singing created unbonnded enthusiasm
and she was several times recalled. The
other solois.s, this report says, were also
warmly welcomed.

CATION, the boats on the Hooking canal
have all the coal traffic they can handle.
and more; and it materially reduces
the cost of coal to all points on that and
the Ohio canal, of which it is branch.
The men who imagine they have
claims to the land now covered by the
great reservoirs and the smaller one
along the lines.
Men who are waiting i'm the same
way, to lay claim to the abandoned line,
through the numerous towns and viii
lagos along the canals,
Farmers whose lands are intersected
by the canals, who imagine they can
add this ground to their holdings at a
very trivial expense, far less than its real
value.
There are several points that the peo-
pie would like to see settled before a
step is taken toward the abandonment.
First, Can the State sell the rich land
covered by the reservoirs, and give a
title? Second, When q canal passes
through city, town or village, who
owns the street or open space on each
bank? The canal or the abutting prop
erty owners, or the municipal corpora
ton? Third, Will the men who have
capital invested in mills, etc, along the
canals, depending on it for power, have
claim on the State for damages, if the
canals are abandoned?
In conclusion, we reproduce from the
Cleveland Press an interesting state
ment of Rep. Cole, ofStark:
Three-fifths of all taxes paid by the
State for State and local purposes is
paid by the 30 canal counties. The 80
canal counties pay into the State and
county treasures $lS,116, ,1O0.50, while
the 56 no canal counties only Weld a
revenue of ST., ,5lS, 900. The property
along the 1872 miles of canals in Ohio.
dependent on the canals for power and
transportation are practically worth
less II these canals were abandoned,
consisting of mills, warehouses, factor
les, etc., represents S32,00O,O0O. The
taxes paid by this property along the
canals amounts to $275, 600 year, more
than double the amount that the COM
mlttee ON Finance will recommend to
be appropriated for the public works,
Sl2O,OO0. For so years past freight have
peen carried by canal ut less than two
mills per ton per mile, while the best
managed railroad is unable to transport
freight for less than six mills per mile
per ton. The people of Ohio pay to the
railroads 500, ,000, 900 year for freights,
and it can be successfully demonstrated
that the canals save the people of the
State 5 to 10 per cent. on freight rates,
or, in figures, $5,00O,OO to $4,000, 900 a
year. The amount of property along
the line OF the Ohio canal and depend
ent en- on that waterway is estimated at
S6 ,ooo,oOO. There was shipped into
Cleveland over this canal last year 500,-
ooo bushels of coal, which Transportation
by keeping railroad freights down,
saved say the people of that city from $50
900 to 100000.

THE COMING CATTLE QUEEN.
Arrival in Chicago of a Dashing Cele b.
rity from Washington Territory.

CHICAGO, April 16.-Among the dro-
vers who alighted from a cattle-train
caboose at the stock-yards tonight was
a tall, majestic-looking woman ofabout
thirty years. Though not beauty, she
would have commanded attention in u
metropolitan thoroughfare.
"Men are all frauds" she said, with
a laugh. III wouldn't marry the best
one of them that ever lived. prefer
to be their superior by remaining in
such circumstances that [ can always
buy their labor and esteem.n Miss
Mary Meagher was the name to which
the lady answered. In Washington
Territory she is known as the coming
cattle queen, the companion celebrity
to Miss 1liff, of Denver. In the train
she had ten carloads of cattle which
had endured the experiment of $500
mile ride. She values the stock at So
900, and says if the trip is financially
she will return as soon as
practicable from Walla Walla with 400
additional head. She employs num-
ber of cowboys and is the owner of q
large heard of cattle, to the raising of
which she gives her personal attention.

Grant as a FOrager.

Hon. j IN. High, of Napoleon, was a
soldier in the army Of the Tennessee,
and knew Gen. Grant, as every soldier
did. 1t was before Donaldson one

and skirmishing for food was necessary,
that High, and a party of comrades had
some geese, with which they were
making toward camp, when they We're

Building Boom in Napola en-

While thesprospect for the erection
of large number of buildings IN Ma
poleon during the spring and summer
of 1885 is not quite so hattering as IT
might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex.
tensive improvements made on those
which have been in the course of con-
struction. That good times are near
at hand, and better still coming, is
evidenced, not only by the prepara-
tions for extensive improvements in
and around Napoleon, but throughout
the country everywhere. Saur ha
already made all the necessary ar.
rangements and purchases of the dlf-
ferent kinds of materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fail to attract
the attention of all close buyers. The
outside decorations which, within the
last few years have become so very
popular and fashionable, and can only
be made with good paint, can always
be found nice and fresh in all shades
and colors, and in any quantity to suit
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store at lower prices than have ever
been known on some quality of goods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready to tumble down, can, with few
dollars worth OF these colored paints,
be made to look nice and good as new.
For the inside decorations within the
last five OF SIX years paper has largely
taken the place Of paint for several
reasons; the two principle of which are,
first, that 1t is very much cheaper, and
consequently can be changed oftener;
and second, that it can be made to look
more rich and beautiful, and 1t needs
no special artist from Paris or London
to apply 1t. Great Improvements are
constantly being made in these paper
decorations for Walls and Ceilings
The designs for wall paper and window
shades this coming season are a great
improvement over those of the past.
The patterns are smaller and the soft
colors on exquisitely tinted grounds,
are much easier to match with furn-
ishing. Our colors so far have been
too glaring, the hues presenting too
strong a contrast. White grounds
have re-appeared, showing the lighter
tints to perfection. All who appre
ciate the new and beautiful, will be
pleased to look over the grand stock at
Saur's Book and News Depot even
though they may not want to make
any purchases. In the line of all kinds
of brushes for the painter or white
washer, Saur always carries COM
plete stock, which he warrants to give
satisfaction. Making his purchases
direct from the manufacturers, he is
to replace any brush that
may come to pieces before worn out
free of charge. Everybody can always
depend on finding large and com
plete stock Of everything in the line of
Drugs, Medicines and Books, in addi
ton TO the above. No department. or
part Of his stock is ever neglected, but
everything is selected and purchased
with the greatest care with reference

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1885-04-03

The recent accidental crossing of the
electric light and telephone wires, by
which Mrs. Bixby received a severe
shock, and the switch board was dam
aged, has resulted in a new invention be-
ing sent for the Rock Island Office to
obviate the danger of recurrence of a
like accident, and guard both operators
and subscribers from receiving a shock, or
the switch board from being damaged
should the wires become crossed again.
By this arrangement the wires as they
come in are connected with plug. From
this plug a fine wire runs over a button to
another plug connecting with the switch
board. Aspiring wire is attached to the first
plug and extends over the other end of the
button far enough to connect with q
ground wire. Under ordinary circume
stances this spring wire is held
from connection with the ground
the button against it, but should
heavy current, such as lightning, or that
from the electric light machines, come in
it will burn the fine wire and the other
wire springing back will make ground
connection and no harm will be done. II
this is successful in the Rock Island office
it will be put in the Davenport and Mo-
line offices also, and will thus bring into
nse another of the many inventions which
are fast perfecting the system of telepho
mic communication.
The operators at the central station
have had new duties added to their al
ready onerous ones. The new order i
that they shall keep account of all call
for, or from the telegraph Office, the per
sons called to or who call, and the time o
the call. 1t will occasion much writing
and take much time.
