Last evening Officer Cary arrested four
young men for bathing in Sylvan water

turn trip her horse was frightened by q
flock of sheep scampering across the

threw the ladies to the ground. Both

quite seriously. She was unconscious
for some time.
Mr.. Thos. Quick and wife, of Hills
dale, were subjected TO like treatment on
Saturday. They were returning home
from Hillsdale, when passing the resi-,
dence Of Mr.. James Camp, the horses
they were driving became imbued with a
git up and git" spirit, and it was only a
few seconds before Mr. and Mrs. Quick
were lying PROSTATE on the ground. Their
injuries were more painful than severe.

d. Fl. LoUDERBAcK,
Vice President
The ARGUS presents both sides of the
telephone number system, matter which
has been subject of common discussion
for some time past. In replying to state,
ment in this paper, the vice president as
serts that secret communication might be
carried on in the presence of Others by
means of the number system, without it
being possible for those present to know
to whom the conversation Is addressed,
and in order to ascertain with whom COM
munication was had, IF the party pres
emit was disposed to know he would be
obliged to look through the list. Ii per-
son had the curiosity or a reason fol
knowing the name of the person or insti
tuition connected with, he might readily
find out by calling up the central
station and ascertaining who or what
such number is" This is not given
however, as an incident to sustain the op-
position to the number system; it is sim
ply reply to the assertions made by the
vice president. As to the advantage OF
the telephone as system of fire protec'
ton, no one will doubt its usefulness ia
that direction, ordinarily. AT the same
time every second is good iea. of time
when fire is under way, and house
might burn down while the number of al
engine or hose house is being hunted uE
in the directory.

MIGHTY DEATH.
To Albert j. and Arthur L. Asquith.

BY COLE MAxoN.
Written for the ARGUS.
Oh mighty, mighty death so bold,
With hands SO grim and gray,
Why didst thou, in this hour OF grief
Take this our hope away
We know thy might on earth is great
BY other deeds you've done:
But think You not your strength is shown,
BY leaving us but one!
You, in your dreadful work on earth,
Took from our Preside
Our mother-yes, that angel dear,
Who was our joy and pride.
You took that dear one from our home,
And gave US grief instead;
You took her soul far, far away,
And left us but the dead.
And yet, Oh, yet, You come again
10 bring more grief and care;
To take away out father, dear,
And leave us in despair.
Oh, angels. who in mercy stand
On Jordan's shining shore,
Take there, our lear ones, in thy care;
oh, meet them at the door.
Prepare for them home with God;
In glory let them stand
And beckon TO us here al home,
From yonder holy land.
Let them be angels of the band
That plays unto the ng.
TIE music that's SO loud and strong,
That Heavens fair portals ring
And too. oh angels, let us be
So pure and free from vice,
That we may enter at the gate
And see our Lord and Christ.

EDITOR ARGUs:-I have just seen

think if you will take any number in your
head and undertake to find this number
in the directory without knowing the
name of the subscriber, you will find that
it is a pretty difficult task to do so, and
that it would not be such an easy thing
for the party who was present and heard
you call for the number to ascertain who
it was, and it would necessitate his rum
ming his finger down every number in the
book until he came to it., as they do not
run consecutively, but are in all parts of
the directory, according to the alphabeti'
cal list of the subscribers.
You should bear IN mind in agitating
such a subject as you are now on. that
the company is now giving the cities OF
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline facil-
tiles which are not enjoyed by any other
similarly situated cities in the United
States, viz. Free service between the three
places and at very low rate for ex'
change service. All hasty and i'll advised
actions cen have but one result, viz: to
react on the subscribers who use the in
struments, as the company is at present
running its business on the lowest possi>
BILE margin.
You should also not forget the fact
that in furnishing telephone service to
very small portion OF the citizens of Rock
Island, the telephone company at the
same time is protecting the entire busi,
ness interests of the city by a better fire
alarm system than could be furnished by
the expenditure of thousands of dollars
on the part of the city in obtaining it,
and an annual expenditure of from $4,000

Disastrous Earthquake Il, india,

News has reached Bombay of disastrous
earthquake in Cashmere, India The shocks
began Sunday the 3lst and have continued at
intervals of ten minutes ever since
The shocks we're very serious at Ser
inagur, the capital Of Cashmere The bar
IA ;ks, in which several hundred soldiers were
CHARTERED, were destroyed, collapsing SO sud
denly that nearly half the men were imprison-
Ell IN the debris. Fifty are known to have been
killed, while 100 were more or less injured A
portion of the city has been demolished. while
very few of the remaining buildings escaped
injury many having large rents made in them.
Serinagur is near the center of the vale of
Cashmere, and the whole territory expert
enced the terrible earthquake shocks. The
damage caused throughout the vale is enor-
nous The loss in cattle alone is very great
The affrighted people seem to be utterly help
less, and succor is being sent them as rapidly
as the Indian authorities can organize relief.
Many Of the houses, on account of the large
rents in the walls, must be RACED The
shocks have not yet ceased, which greatly re-
tards the work of rescuing the people pinned
down in the debris, end it is feared that many
of these must perish before they can be
reached. The Mohammendan mosque, in the
little town of Sopur: twenty miles north of

Cancer Like Grants Is Fatal.

Gustave De Paetz, a German actor, died
in New York, recently of a cancer at the
root of the tongue similar to that which
aft1icts General Grant. sThere was a
marked similarity in the two cases." said the
physician, seven to the apparent partial re-
covsry Of the actor. He was first taken sick
about a year ago, with feeling OF irritation,
as though a fly had lodged in his throat He
gradually grew weak, and had every
symptom which the physicians of Cen
eral Grant say he had He sank
rapidly, and three months ago I thought
he could not live 48 hours. He rallied, how
ever, and in a fortnight he could walk 1t was
necessary then for me to see him only once a
week. His strength was kept up on the yolks
of raw eggs beaten. He took also small GUAM
titles of wine and beer.
sHe took the greatest interest in General
Grants sickness, and on awaking every
morning he wanted his morning newspaper
brought to him, that he might learn how his
disease was progressing. When General Grant
was recovering from his severe attack, M De
Paetz was sinking
esAh,' he said, General Grant cannot get
well; know he can't, if can't"
"Hemorrhages from the throat gradually
weakened him. He remained for days in a
dying condition, and finally died of exhaus-
ton"
