The Official Printing.

The Union still continues to harp about
the official printing of the county. It
evidently feels 30 tickled over being rec
ognized by the board of supervisors that
it cannot contain itself. But it says that
the ARGUS should not receive as much
compensation for the work as it does.
This is the worst kind of bosh and
twaddle. The board was almost unani-
nous in favor of giving the printing to
the ARGUS, recognizing it to be the lead
ing paper of Rock Island county. There
was no objection to the ARGUS, and the
dispute arose over the selection of a sec>
ond paper. The Moline Republican had
the most friends, but the fact of the Un-
ion being printed at the county seat, gave
it an advantage over its Moline competi,
tor. The time which the Union claims
the board wasted in deciding the printing
question, can be charged to the fight
made for that paper, and it is very poor
policy for its editors to raise q cry over
mischief created by themselves.

Laid Away.

The funeral of the unfortunate young
man, George H. Stahlberg. was held at
Rapids City yesterday afternoon. The
deceased was an orphan, and being of
simple mind, II. II. Dow was appointed
administrator of the estate at the time of
the death OF his parents. He left home
the latter part of the week for Butler
county, Nebraska, and had got as far as
Omaha. 1t has since been learned that

how to turn down the gas, and warned
him about it. and he must have turned

Lucky Escape.

Mr.. Richard Bait ersby, of Coal Valley,
tells of an almost miraculous escape of a
lad who was struck by the engine of a
freight train on the Rock Island & Peo>
ria road yesterday. The twelve year old
son of Mike Quinn was walking on the
railroad track, when the way freight was
coming this way. When about 100 feet
from him, the engineer sounded the whis-
tie several times, but the lad being deaf
and dumb, of course did not hear it. The
train was slowing up for the station. The
COW catcher of the engine struck young
Quinn, tossing him in the air, and land
ing him several feet from the track.
After the train had passed, the little fell
low got up, shrugged his shoulders, and
went his way. His only injury was a
slight cuton the back of his head

An Eccantric.

An anonymous correspondent, whose
egotism and eccentricity are evidently on
an equal balance, writing from this city

MAKING ICE.
A New Industry In Rock Island...A
Leading Brewers Experiment,
and the Probable Outcome.

A new industry has been introduced in
Rock Island, one which. while novelty
in itself, promises also to prove OF great
value to the enterprising manufacturer
who has adopted it. Some time ago
the well known brewer. George
Wagner, contracted with Theodore
Krauch, of North Evanston. H.. pat
entee and manufacturer of Krauch's pat,
ent refrigerator machine and apparatus,
to furnish his brewery with one of his
arrangements, and last night the machine
was put in action for the first time.
An ARGUS reporter visited the Atlantic
brewery this morning, and was given a
view and description of the machine and
its manner of working.
The main portion of the apparatus is
an immense pump from which amonia
gas is forced into large tank above,
called condenser, from which it passes
through series of pipes, where it forms
the frigid substances and then enters the
coils in the cellar
Twelve of these cellars are thus sup
piled with the cold air process, after
which the gas accumulates and passes back
to the pump, and goes through the same
method again and again and so on.
1t is forty ton machine, and $1,000
feet of pipe are used in the entire work.
The outfit cost Mr.. Wagner about $25,
600. but it is introduced with view
not only of lessening expense in the fu-
ture, but of securing gain in the capac-
ity of his building. The space formerly
used for storing ice, will increase the
extent and number of the cellars, and Mr.
Wagner therefore expects to triple his
accommodating facilities and business as
well
An annual ice bill of S5, 900 is dispensed
with, and the cellars are furnished with a
pure and easily regulated temperature,
which can be made to vary from -four
above freezing to four below. The tenn
perature in the cellar ranges from one to
three below the freezing point. Another
advantage is that the cellars are kept dry
and the same rate of temperature can be
given hop extract the year around.
Theodore Stoelzle, engineer for the
Krauch Manufacturing company. is IN the
city. showing the workings of the new
machine and training man to regulate
it hereafter. The company have Just COM
pleted putting apparatus at Omaha anG
st. Joe, Mo-. and Mr. Krauch left las,
night for Pennsylvania to superintend the
construction of one there. 1t is grea
invention and will prove of invaluable
service to Mr.. Wagner in his great man,
ufacturing industry

THE FROSTS WORK.
Last Nights Weather Destructive to
Vegetation.

Although the atmos phere all day yes>
terday was anything but summerlike, it
was not at all thought probable that last
night would prove as cold and Obstructive
to vegetation as it did. Those who arose
early this morning beheld the sidewalks,
housetops and shrub5ery covered with a
heavy coating Of frost. while on the low
lands, and along the small creeks on the
outskirts of town, ice was discovered.
One well posted in the matter said this
morning, that tomato vines and all other
vegetables above the ground, are ruined,
while house plants. which have been put
in the ground. and were not covered last
night, have Jared badly. 1t is also feared
that the buds which have begun to show
signs of appearing on certain trees and
vines. have been injured, though to what
extent can not be ascertained as yet.
Today the weather out of doors is
again keen, and overcoats and other win
ter wraps are not at all out of place,
while indoors, fires are comfortable.

The Tornado Season.

The weatherist of the New York Her.
aid feels il incumbent upon him and
timely to sound a note of warning, and
therefore discusses learnedly as follows:
THE meteorological condition in the
west and south for the past few days,
for the first time this season, very nearly
approached those favorable to the genes
sis of tornadoes. Various theories of
the birth of the tornado have been ad-
vanced. Mr.. Silas Bent, of St. Louis.
holds that when the cold, heavy, north>
erly wind of the Mississippi valley en-.
counters the warm southerly current,
the former, owing to its greater specific
gravity. wedges under or under runs the
light south wind, and is thus placed be-
tween the warm earth below and the
still warmer south wind shove, and, feel
ing the impulse Of its increasing tens
perature, begins to expand; but. being

the rear, at last finds weak spot in the
stratum above, when the fatal whirl
originates in the breach thus made. This
theory is undoubtedly in accordance with
ply steal laws and observation. The death
dealing storm Of the central valleys is
formed only when great thermal contacts
exist within limited areas. Fortunately,
so far this spring, but few if any, severe
whirlwinds have been reported in the
south and west. But from present indi,
cations the truce between the tornado
breeding elements cannot long be main
tanned. The western meteorologists
should be on the lookout for the periodic
development of tornadoes, and renew
their efforts to forewarn threatened dis
tricts of their approach"
