Losing Ground.

1t looks as though Mr.. Murdock's boom
for the mayoralty is fading slowly away,
as the circumambient atmosphere is filed
with hoarse whispers that T. H. Thomas
is to be the Moses selected by the republl-
can party. Mr. Thomas is affiliated with
the young republicans, who are doing
some hard work for him. They claim
that their candidate possesses great Prov
ess, and when once set loose as the party
nominee, he will gather strength from all
sides, and carry of the prize package with
a mighty swoop. They have not yet
claimed he is a man of destiny, but il his
friends make this point in his favor, there
is no doubt that he will be nominated.
The democratic slate, on the other hand,
is still unscratched, and the lucky. man
whose name will be enrolled thereon for
mayor is by no means settled. In adds
ton to the candidates mentioned recently,
Mr.. Arthur Burial is talked of, and still
lower down town there is a small boom
inscribed m. S. ONeil." Any of the
gentlemen named would not only make
a strong race, but what is better, would
make excellent executive officers.

While the city clerkship is the bone of
contention between two prominent repub>

Abel, captain of the Rodman Rifles, are
urging him to accept the democratic NOM
ination for the place. Mr.. Abel is, and
has been for years, bookkeepcr in the
Rock Island plow works, where he has
established an enviable reputation Tor his
business qualities, integrity and trustwor-
thiness. Should he run for the position
he would certainly receive the support of
not only the whole democratic party, but
many who think that he would make the
best city clerk the city ever had He
would make an unexceptionally strong
fight against whomsoever he might be
pitted.

On the Right Track.

Kiner. he of the Geneseo NesOs, thus so~
lloquizes in his last issue;
Geo. L. Nynes, erstwhile merchant
in the boot and shoe line in Geneseo, lats
terly for several years of the city of Rock
Island, was in town on Monday. Mrs.
Wynes with two of the children was going
to Pontiac to visit relatives; George and
the other two came to Geneseo, and re-
turned to Rock Island in the afternoon.
George says that he and his brother are
doing notably well in Rock Island. He is
a firm believer in advertising. He keeps
his name prominently before the reading
public of Rock Island aud Moline. and
finds that it pays big. Though his is not
the largest boot and shoe house in Rock
Island by any means, his goods are con-
stantly going out to his customers and
coming in from the factory, while the de>
luded owners of big stores that don't ad-
vertise sit gloomily around, and the dust
gathers on their goods, and there are no
sales So it is so all the country over.

An appointment by the new administra-

ton to the democratic party, is that of
NJ. NJ. Ham, editor of the Dubuque Her
aid, to the position of postmaster OF Du-
buque. Editor Ham has adhered stead

racy and through his advocacy of that
faith in the columns of the Herald has
accomplished wonders in making Du-
buque the solid democratic stronghold
which it has now become. The Herald
is one of the strongest democratic papers
in the northwest and has been rendered
so through the efforts of Mr.. Ham. His
ability and prominence in the democratic
party in Iowa made him a member of the

The following method of collecting bad
debts as described in Chicago paper,
would not be ont of the way in Rock
Island where dead beats are not at all
scarce:
A debt>collecting firm styled the RE
tail Merchants Protective Collection as
sOciation,' has started BLACK Maria"
collectors wagon in Chicago. This will
ill long felt want. Other cities east and
west could boast their black wagon sys-
tenn and promptly bring defaulting debt
ors to time by sending Maria to visit
them.
The Maria" is large, four wheeled
vehicle, something of cross between
grocer's wagon and hearse. 1t partakes
largely of the characteristics of the fas
nous "Black Maria" prison vans of Eng
land, and also of the dime museum adj
vertising wagons of this country. The
purpose of the wagon is to attract atten,
ton. and thereby shame the debtor into
paying, consequently it is necessary to
have something unique. The Maria
recently started here is a large, black box,
with openings at the front and sides. At
each side on the back the following lie,
gend is displayed in large white letters:
cold Bills Collected Promptly by this
Association"
Inside the box there are seats for the
driver and collector. The plan of opera
ton is simply to keep the wagon standing
before the debtors house a certain time
every day until the debt is paid. The
head of the association says this system
brings debtors to time when all others
Fail. Some debtors don't care if a judg-
ment is rendered against them, but when
the Maria" gets after them and pursues
them from one lodging house to another
they generally capitulate. The manager
speaks proudly of the success of his firm
in Cleveland and other cities. He saws
Cleveland is able to keep two "Marias"
constantly employed, and he does not see
why Chicago should not have half doz>
en-. He intends building a splendid new
'Maria" for this city in very short time
He says it will have grand mirrors on
the side and back, and plumes or wax
works on the roof, just like circus wag
on, and will be such contrivance as any
landlady or housekeeper will be proud to
see at the door.

his experience thus: He became acquaint-

went with him through a back alley, and
into back door. The room which they
entered was devoid of any signs of bar,
bartender, beer, whisky, or liquor of any
kind. There was no one in the room and
he was at loss to know what to make of
the proceedings. His companion seemed
at home, and simply uttered the word

A Rumor.

The quietus which has been placed
upon the Murdoch boom, seems to be
trqceable TO the subtle influences of the
willy Robinson, who, it is said, asked Mr..
Murdoch to make a written pledge, that
if in case of an election, he would do all
in his power, as mayor, against the inter
ests of the bridge railway company. 1t is
said that Mr.. Murdoch refused to comply
with the request, and that Robinson
straightway sharpened the rings political
axe, and Mr. Murdoch has been vertically
cremated. Of course this is only ru>
mor--one of the many weird stories that
are floating around the corners. Maybe
only business with Murdoch
was to offer him free pass on the ferry
boat.
