SERIOUS CHARGES.
David McDonough, OF Davenport, Ar.
rested In this City for Forgery
1.-The Particulars.

At 10 O'clock last night, Deputy Mar
shall Hull and Officer Breshnahan arrested
David McDenough at the Rock Island
house for forgery. The arrest was made
at the instance of communication
which came to the hands OF Chief
Kcssler across the river yesterday morn
ing from Emery & Schowalter's des
tective agency at Omaha. notifying the
police of Davenport of a forgery cons
mitted at Omaha day or two ago. in
which McDonough was the prime mover,
and stating that he had left Omaha after
committing the deed, and was headed for
Davenport, his old home. The Daven-
port chief soon ascertained that his man
was in Rock Island, and he put the mat
ter in Marshal Eckhart's hands with the
result given above.
McDonough was interviewed in his
cell at the armory this morning by an
ARGUS representative, and he denied the
charges made against him, said that
he was fully acquainted with the facts in
the case, and what led to his arrest, had
telegraphed to Omaha and would receive
an answer in short time, which would
set everything right. The forged note
was for $40, and McDonough says he OBJ
tanned it at poker table in Oma>
ha. 1t was payable to the bearer, and
signed by P. Tread g. Co. The prisoner
says he won it from another player in the
game and endorsed it himself with his
own signature and the note was cashed.
He says he has been in the employ of
James d Allen, prominent hardware
firm, and was enroute to Chicago on
business connected with the house whe n
arrested.
Last night Marshal Eckhart teiegraphed
the particulars of the arrest to Omaha
and asked for instructions. This morn
ing he received the following answer;
Hold him by all means. Will come to-
morrow.
McDonough is young man-probshly
% years of age-has lived in Davenport
the greater part of his life. and until the
past year bore an unstained character.
On December 31st last, he was arrested
across the river for obtaining passes on
many of the railroads in the coun>
try under false pretenses. 1t looked as if
it would go hard with him for awhile, but
he finally succeeded in Strengthening the

ceived letter from Rochester, N. Y.

fortunate brakeman. George L. Klein,
who was drowned at the lower end of the

had answered Mr.. Mack's first telegram
to her, and had received no answer
from him. Further she had sent
him additional messages to which no
answer had came. She desired to know
what disposition had been made of the
body of her brothers, and said she had
communicated the sad intelligence to her
brothers wife, but had heard nothing.
She asked Mr.. Mack to ascertain the
wife's whereabouts If he could. Mr.. Mack
answered the letter this afternoon, and it
is probable that the body will be removed
to the cemetery if such can be done.

Love Opera and OratOrio.
Exchanged
A young author has kindly furnished the
Paris public the following code for the
government of the listeners actions at con-
certs Paste them in your hat and take as
directed:
Beethovea-Bow your head, say nothing
except you desire to be considered a fool)
In an extreme case you may say, with bated
breath; Colossal Giganticl Pyramidicall
Cytlopeanl Titantic Appear collected
Move your head automatically, like q
cuckoo in a cuckoo clock. Above all, ap-
lear composed.
berlioz-Duriny his life no one understood
him; since his death the whole worli COM
prehend, him; mankind have got accus-
toned to him, like they have to the Chinese
war. Listening to his music, calculate:
Boiil Strangel Odd! Bizarrel Lean your
head on your hand; sleep if you can
Chopin-Admired by all, even of diamet-
rically opposed opinions; it is considered the
thing ito be an admirer of Chopin" Gently
whisper, "What exquisite honey-notes!
What poetry of melodyI" Don't forget to
smile Of cry.
Flotow-His music reminds one of art, as
an umbrella does of aesthetics. You can
give utterance to whatever you may think
of. Once in awhile, to be sure, there are
beautiful passages, but they are tunes terri
bly, well known. You will be considered
connoi2 eur Of high order if you take up
the evening paper and study its advertise
ments
Little has this advantage above all
composers-the performer must have four
teen fingers. Remember this and nothing
more. Don't gnash your teeth
Mendelssohn-He wrote every conceivable
style of music. You can safely risk all the
EXPLANATIONS possible as long as they come
in at the right moment You must be in q
serious state Of mind; mediate, therefore.
on death Don't do it during the "Wedding
March," that would be bad taste
Schumann He il the month of April; Just
as much sunshine showers, just as much
harmonies as dissonances. Don't let your
thouphts wander; if you lose the theme you
will never catch it again. Growl in an un-
dertone. This method of applause is appro-
pirate not only to the allegro, but also to the
adagio movements
Mozart-Either intense admiration or an
unmoved mien; but under all circumstances
complete, absolute silence-else you are "a
goner." Do not slumber; do not yawn.
Wagner-Your temperament must decide
your course. Wagner is like unto an ice
cold shower bath; you either get accustomed
to 1t or you 60 crazy.

The Abattoir.

Health Commissioner Craig has invited
all the members of the city council to
meet him at Buford's pillow works at Z
o'clock this evening, in order that visit
may be made to the site chosen for the
location Of the abattoir and general
opinion formed as to whether 1t is the
proper place or not. DR.. Craig says there
has been such an immense amount OF
grumbling on the part of the butchers
concerning the erection of a slaughter
house in that part of town. that he is de-
sirous of convincing the council of the
propriety of the place just agreed upon.

THE STATE IN GENERAL.
Taking the state as a whole the area of
corn is much larger than last season. es-
pecially in the wheat sections of the state.
Insects have damaged the growing corn
quite seriourly in many portions Of the
state. and the cold, dry season has been
unfavorable for the planting and the
growth of corn. Since the first of June
corn has made very satisfactory growth
and has generally received good cultiva-
ton. There is much complaint that seed
corn has failed to terminate. A major,
ity of the farmers have been compelled to
replant corn a second and not infrequent-
ly third time. The stand of corn is very
uneven, and there win probably be an UNI
usual amount of damaged and unstable
corn next fall. The area Of corn planted
In the northern division exceeds 8 1000. 600
