The wild mustard in South Cali
fornia is like that spoken of in the New
Testament, in the branches of which
the birds of the air may rest. Coming
up out of the earth SO slender a stem
that dozens can find a starting point in
an inch, it darts up slender, straight
shoot, five, ten, twenty feet, with hum
dreds of fine, feathery branches, lock-
ing and interlocking with all the hum
dreds around it, till it is an inextri-
cable network like lace. Then it bursts
into yellow bloom still finer, more
feathery and lace like. AT times it
looks like golden dust. With a clear
blue sky behind it, as it is often seen,
it looks like a golden snow storm

THE DOOMED KNIGHT.
Blaine Said to be Doing Some Seine
Work" at Washington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan 15-[Speciall
Blaine is getting to be almost as active as
he was during the late campaign. DEM
ocratic senators trace his mischievous in
fluence to two very recent attempts to
embarrass Cleveland They hold him re-
| sponsible for the debate over the Sher,
an>Jeiferson Davis controversy, which
they say he had precipltated with view
of stirring southern democrats up in the
hope that they might say or do some>
| thing which would be offensive to the
people of the north 1t was because they
determined Blaine's purpose that the
leaders of the democratic side cut
the debate off, suffering only two
democrats -Brown and Vance-to vote
against Sherman. The other attempt was
that embodied in the Washington dispatch
published recently, which stated that a
southern advisory board had been ere
ated, composed of southern senators, who
were to distribute the patronage of the
south for Cleveland. This report was
absolutely untrue. 1t is so pronounced by
all the southern senators, including those
who were mentioned as members of the
| board

About Flagmen

1t is pretty evident that there should be
flagman stationed on every railway
crossing in the city. That is the cross
ings that are used almost continually dur
ing the day time There is flagman on
the crossing near where the fatal railroad
accident occurred on Saturday, but it was
impossible for him to see the boy on ac~
count of the escaping steam. and the train
which was between him and the lad. 1t
was not until woman was horribly mans
gled on this crossing two or three years
ago that f1agman was stationed there
There are other crossings in the city which
are dangerous, and they should be sup
piled with tlagmen before some appalling
accident makes it necessary that this
should be done.

prohihitinu IN Inwa

That the attempt to force the prohib-
tory liquor law in Iowa has proved a
signal failure is amply proved by the Dav-
export Democrat. That paper recently
addressed circular letter to the mayors
of the principal cities of the state, asking
about the effect of the law as regards the
sale of intoxicants. The replies received
show that the saloons are, and have been
running at full blast ever since the law
went into effect, with few exceptions,
where some saloonkeepers quit for a
month or so and then started up again.
In many of the cities tine saloons have
increased in number, and it is the general
belief that more liquors are sold in Iowa
at present than at any other period in the
history of the state. The revenue to the
cities in which this traffic is carried on is
now So per year for each saloon, where
last year it was $500, and in some cities
more.

little girl, alighted and hurriedly entered

Wants to see him, and he will get up al

clerk did as he was requested.
In few minutes young man came
down stairs and was greeted with, May
nard where is George?" by the lady who
had been impatiently waiting for the
sleeper to appear.
The young man replied in a low tone and
soon the lady began to insist that he GO
at once and bring George to the hotel
Finally after long conversation carried
on between the two men and the lady in
low tones, an arrangement seemed to have
been perfected and the new arrivals asked
for a room. The clerk was unable to ac'
commodatc them for the reason that al
the rooms in the house were occupied, and
the two men left to seek rooms elsewhere
and reporter who had overheard part o.
the conversation, followed them aud in
quired the cause of the connection. The

Mayor Mott, City Attorney Corbett and
the other members of the council outside
of the committee, visited the sewer to
examine the mooted question whether
the city Of Rock Island or the Rock
Island Lumber & Manufacturing Co. shall
clean out the stopped up sewer? 1t has
been question for some time whether or
not the sewer has an opening where the
outlet ought to be. No doubt the coun-
Gil, the mayor and the city attorney will
get a pretty good idea of the trouble and
the responsibility by this afternoon

The Erisky Brewer.

The thieving tramp brewer, whose ex>
ploits at George Wagner's brewery were
noted in the ARGUS last night has again
been heard from. After securing the S.
and the $40 watch at Mr. Wagners he
went to Davenport. The police over there
were put on his track and last evening an
officer arrested him in a boarding house
The fellow is pretty sharp as subsequent
Developments will prove. He asked
permission to wash his hands, which the
officer granted. and removing his overs
coat he laid it down and went into anoth-
er room to wash. Once out of the off
GERS sight he skipped through a back
door into an alley and was soon out of
sight. The outwitted cop" arrested the
overcoet and took it to the lookup where
it now is But the owner is still at large.
The police are keeping sharp lookout
for him and he will be brought to time
one of these days. Ia the meantime the
laugh is on the Davenport cop"
