Welcomed Home.

A crowd of between eight and ten hum
dred people collected at the Perry street
depot in Davenport last night, awaiting
the Rock Island passenger train from the
east, bearing homeward the victorious
Davenport turner's, who have covered
themselves with homer and glory at the
Newark national funniest. 1t was a rous-
ing reception that was fully mcrited. The
turner's were met at the depot by Strass-
er's second regiment band; Company B in
full dress uniform, over one hundred
members of the Turner society, fifty little
girls attired in blue carrying wreaths and
garlands in their hands, and an equal
number of young boys, in addition to the
large crowd of spectators. The members
ofthe turning class carried brooms in their
hands, indicative of their sweeping vic>
tories. A procession was formed and pros
ceeded to Turner hall where an informal
reception was held, addresses Of welcome
delivered and congratulations exchanged.
The Davenport class won more prizes,
and made the best record generally Of
any class at the tournament.

NEW POSTAL LAWS.

go Into Effect T0day-..lmp0rtant
Changes In Rates.

The new postal law passed by congress
which contemplates the establishment OF
speedy letter delivery in each city of
over 1000 inhabitants win not go into
effect today, though the other provisions
of the law will. Postmaster Halves in>
formed an ARGUS reporter that he res
ceived no instructions from the depart
ment concerning this innovation in the
postal service and in fact no provision
has been made for carrying it into execu-
ton because there has been no appropria>
ton and the ten cent stamp has not yet
been made. This delivery will ultimately
be established, because the law institute
ing it passed. 1t provides that ten cent
stamp when attached to letter, in addi-
ton to the lawful postage thereon, shall
entitle the letter to immediate delivery
at any place containing 1000 population
or over according to the federal census, or
within one mile of the postofflce coming
within the provisions of the law, which
may in like manner be designated as a
special delivery office; that such specially
stamped letter shall be delivered between
a. m. and midnight; that book shall
be provided in which the person to whom
the letter addressed shall acknowledge its
receipt; that messengers for this special
delivery are to be paid 80 per cent of the
face value of all the stamps received and
recorded in a month provided that the ag-
gregate compensation paid to any person
for such service shall not exceed $50 per
month, and provided further that the reg
ulations of the delivery of these specially
stamped letters shall in no way interfere
with the prompt delivery of letters as pro-
vided by existing laws or regulations.
The following important changes in
postal rates go into effect today:
| /. Any article in newspaper or other
publication may be marked for observa'
ton, except by written or printed words,
without the increase of postage
2. All newspapers from the Office Of
publication, including sample copies, OIL
when sent from news agency to actual
subscribers thereto, or to other news
agents, shall be entitled to transmission
at the rate of one cent per pound or frac'
ton thereof, the postage to be prepaid.
3. The rate of all single rate letters il
or fraction thereof to one ounce. Tit
same increase of weight is allowed t.
drop letters, whether mailed at stations
where there is free delivery or WHERE
carrier service is not established.

A Joke.

Phil Cook played a good joke on one
or two of his young lady acquaintances
last week 1t seems that Phil had been
telling the girls of his friend Charlie
Wheaton, of Rock Island, and Dragging
him up as one of the best boys in the
wide world, all of which is true. Last
Friday, commercial man, who resembles
Wheaton. struck town, and Phil palmed
him off on the girls as his friend Whea>
ton. Last night Cook informed the girls
of the farce he had instigated on them.
To say that they were real, downright
angry, is putting it mildly Frseport

mourns the loss of an old friend, one that
has been his constant companion for
nearly quarter of century. A few days
