A clear headed attorney, says an OK
change, writes letter stating that while
it is the duty of the owners of adjoining
land to use proper and ordinary care to
keep sidewalks in reasonably safe condi>
ton, nothing impossible or unreasonable
is required. In our climate it IS at times
in the winter practically impossible to
prevent sidewalks from becoming slip
perry, so as to endanger persons walking
thereon. If clear of snow a slight rain
followed by frost will leave them il this
condition, and no practical degree of care
could make them safe, and snow us it
naturally falls will become smooth from
being trodden and rendered icy by thaw-
ing and freezing. Without referring to
the numerous and not altogether harmo-
NOUS authorities on the subject, he thinks
1t must be held in this state that the city
is not bound to keep sidewalk clear of
ice or snow, the natural results of the
elements and temperature, while it re
mains in an ordinary condition. If snow
be drifted into ridges there may be such
obstruc ions as ought to be removed in a
reasonable time. If snow. not falling
naturally, be thrown upon sidewalk SC
as to form an obstruction, this would be
test for which the wrong doer would be
liable, and the city might be liable if the
snow was allowed to remain beyond 6
reasonable length Of time,

Mr.. P. II. Houlahan, trainmaster of
the G., B. & @ road, was at the Harper
house last evening.
The Rock Island and Peoria trains were
late yesterday on account of the freight
wreck down the road.
The r. |. & P. folks had six freight
trains on the road today between here
and Peoria. Trains will be kept moving
all day tomorrow, and the passenger
crews will be utilized as well as freight
men. Business is booming on the great
short line and no mistake.
The Rock Island and st, Louis division
of the c., B. & @ road is doing a larger
business than ever before, and it was
only this week that four large locomotives
were taken from the main line and put on
this division. Everybody seems to be
emigrating TO Kansas and Nebraska" saif
Agent Harvey Mack this morning. "Thert
is regular exodus of people. This week
as many as twenty applications were made
on the Sterling branch for cars to the fal
west. Ii makes business for the railroad
so we cannot complain, and maybe after
while they will want to return, for there
is no state like Illinois"

A Relief For Operators.

A new telephone invention is being
brought into use, which will be of great
relief to the operators. 1t is known as
the Richards head telephone, and consists
of small telephone attached to two steel
bands forming segment of circle. BY
means of a set screw the shape and length
of these bands can be altered aud made TO
fit the operators head, one band passing
over the top of the head and the other
around the back. The telephone is by
this means held continually to the ear.
The connection to the line wire is made
by flexible wire cord, and the telephone
and attachments weigh but eight ounces.
By using this arrangement the operator
in telephone exchangesis free to use both
hands and sit in any position, great I'M
pr0vement over the present style, where
the telephone is attached to an upright
standard on the operating desk. 1t is in
use in several cities, and is valued highly.

A COMPLAINT.

Ellsworth Spickler, son of Mr.. John
Spickler, of Taylor Ridge, and who was
tried and found mot guilty" of hog steals
ing at the last term of the circuit court,
swore ont complaint yesterday against
Sonny McCarty, Joseph Lemons, and
John Hogan. 1t seems that Spickler met
these men in saloon at Reynolds on
Thursday night and after hurting foul
epthets at him, jumped upon him and
gave him good thrashing. There is no
excuse for the fellows assaulting Spickler,
who was fairly tried by a jury and then
discharged. All lawful citizens should
abide by the decisions of the court.

The railroad blockade during the past
week interfered with our noon edition to
such an extent that it was temporarily
abandoned, but commencing again today,
we hope to meet with no irregularity in
the future, unless the weather again be-
comes unruly. Since the Inauguration of
the noon edition, the outside circulation
of the ARGUS has doubled, and the many
words of encouragement received from
our patrons, is a sufficient guarantee for
its continuance.

A writer for one of the French papers,
from Germany, has analy2ed the reichstag,
and has obtained some curious results, dis
playing the remarkable shrewdness of Bis
marck in playing off one party against
another to gain his ends. There is probably
no national assembly in the world with as
many parties and frequently Bismarck's
hackers fall far below majority. Al
present, for instance, he has only eighty one
out of 307 members, and these eighty-one are
divided into two factions. The other PIG are
divided into Catholics, Liberals, Poles, Par
ticularists, Danes, and sace-LorrafnerS II
is Bismarcl's policy to always keep the fac
tions ut war, and to so manage the quarrels
that when he wants a majority he can get il
from those favorable or unfavorable to him
self, who want TO crush the opposition. As
an illustration of his frankness in his
methods, it is related that once when four
fifths of the members we're united against
the government measure, he remarked t.
the Liberal leader: Il am going into the
smoking room for quarter of an hour, that
is until you all fell to quarreling again"

HENNEPIN CANAL.
1t Genes Up Before the House this
Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA, $3.50 p.
m.-GSpecial There is fight against
the Hennepln canal now being made in
the house. When this paragraph was
reached in the river and harbor bill. Turs
ner, of Georgia, made point of order
against its passage, because the river and
harbor bill has 10 jurisdiction over canal
matters. Henderson, of Illinois and Muir
ply, of Iowa have spoken in reply while
Oates, of Alabama, is speaking in support
of Turner'S point of order. Davis made a
strong speech against striking out the
Hennepin canal section, holding that eli
petitions and communications relating to
the water had been referred to the river
and harbor committee, thus arguing that
it was proper for this committee to han
die this subject.
