AT an early hour on the morning
of the Sth, the militia and the
home guards marched to the Ocean
Dock and took charge of the China
men. Previously the work of arrest
ing the leading agitators had begun,
and before daylight many of them
had been placed in Jail, but only to
be bailed out Immediately. All
Cinnamon on board the Queen were
marched to the Court House by the
militia in answer to the writs of
habeas corpus sworn out the
previous day. No opposition was
made to this move. Judge Greene
Informed each Chinaman that he
was at perfect liberty to go or stay
as he chose. A vast majority chose
to leave. They were accordingly
escorted to the steamer and those
who wished to stay were escorted to
their homes.
Up to that time there had been no
bloodshed, although the streets were
crowded. At noon, however, an
attack was made on the home guards
by few hotheads. The guards
were finally ordered to fire, and re-
sponded with volley. Five persons
received the effect of the fire:
George Smith, aged thirty, shot
through the right arm; Bernard
Mulraine, twenty-five, shot through
the lung, probably fatal; Charles
Stewart, thirty, body, right arm and
head, fatal; Christian Schrieber,
left shoulder; James Murphy, spe-
cial policeman, shot through the
forearm. Many others were dubbed
or received other slight injuries.
Sheriff McGraw received shot
through his coat, within half an inch
of the body.
Gov. Squire issued another pro-
clamation, placing the city under
martial law, which stopped all legal
proceedings, and afterward issued q
general order, calling for enlistments
in the military service of the Terri
tory. Citizens responded in large
numbers, being organized into COM
panies as soon as enrolled. AT
about 9:45 p. NJ. on the Sth, the
authorities seemed to have gained
control of the city, but there were
uneasy apprehensions of further
trouble.

stems as beef cattle, we cali attention

Syracuse and Little Wonder had not
been fattened for beef, and Signet we
had fed for some time, but she was not
what beef men would regard fat.
Taking everything into consideration,
we think this shows decidedly to the
advantage of Holsteins as beef animals.
The butchers that purchased and cut
| up the carcasses of Signet and Little
| Wonder' send us the following strong
testimonial as to the quality of these
two cows:

STATEMENT.

INHE undersigned, "A Committee of Di-
L rectors of the Equitable Life As.
surance Society of the United States :,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
lst-The Society issues all the approT-
ed forms OF assurance, including Ordi-
nary Life, Ei dowment and 'Tontinc no.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
Of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums ON a Tontine po-
licy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event OF death, the holder of
the Tontne policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine DO.
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR
tality is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind OF assurances, which is q consider
able source of profit.
7th-TOntine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of The
State, if so desired at the time the as.
surance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kent
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and improy
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly apportioned.
9th-The Society has since its Organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the irst half
of the present year is $1,750O0O larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,000,000; over $l4 OOO,-
600 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
TO Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

Last Visit of Barnum.

The Barnum and London shows are es-
sentially an American institution, aud
have been compared to great travelling
school. where more instruction may be
gained in an hour than in month from
books. The show P. 7. Barnum brings
here in Thursday, August IL, is great
national affair, and in the fall will visit
Europe to astonish the people equally as
much as it has done in this country; so
this is positively the last chance TO see
this enormously large exhibition. No
event creates the same sensation as the
advent of these combined nine shows in
one into a town, and it is gravely to be
doubted if anywhere on the face of the
globe there exists so grand and TRULY
overwhelming an exhibition. When one
really considers that it requires three
rings, each 45 feet in diameter, an eleva>
ted stage 60xS0 feet, and huge hippo
drome track 40 feet wide and nearly half
a mile around, in which to entertain and
delight the audience with 100 marvellous
acts of various kinds, it ceases to be a
wonder that an ovation is rendered them
everywhere An elephant pavilion 800
feet long contains the largest herd of
these animals ever collected together at
one time, besides the wonderful repro
duction of the wOrld-famed Jumbo, the
biggest terrestrial animal that ever lived;
the big ivory boned skeleton, and the
dwarf elephant clown. A museum con,
tanning living wonders and curiosities
from all parts of the known world, an
International Congress of tremendous
giants, and two enormously large menag-
cries of wild and trained animals are
among the principal added attractions
this year. There can be no question but
that P. T. Barnum has gotten together
this season the biggest and grsndest exhi>
bition he ever had, which is sufficient
guarantee to all that it is the best in the
world 1t will be here on Thursday next
and the great parade will take place IN
the morning at s o'clock.

There is to be new steamboat for this

mer. continuing in operation until the
latter part of November, when she was
tied up at Cordova, where she burned to
the waters edge, nothing being left of her
except the hull. This hull has remained
at Cordova until Thursday, when it was
purchased of Van SAINT s. Edwards, of
LeClaire, by A. J. Beach, of Moline, and
others. 1t is now landed on the river
bank short distance above Dimock,
Gould & Cos. In conversation with Mr..
Beach, the Dispatch learned that this
RebstOck hull will be torn to pieces. The
plank therein that is yet sound and good
is to be used in the construction of new
boat. The new boat will be constructed
on ways built for the purpose
Just above the steamboat landing.
The bull will be 10 feet in
length, well equipped with boilers, en-
giues, etc, and constructed on the latest
and best plans. The work of constIuc>
ton is placed under the general super
vision of Mr.. Beach, who has had life
experience with boats upon the Mississ
slppi Mr.. Beach formerly resided at
Cordova, but later lived in Rock Island.
He is now living in Moline, and will re-
main to do the work he has been engaged
to do. He Is a practical boat builder
In 1881 he built and operated packet
upon the Mississippi, called the Nellie
Beach, which few years afterward was
sunk IN the Illinois river.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the new boat will be used as regular
packet, or just what use it will be put to,
but it is promised she will be beauty,
and coed river craft Other Moline
parties are interested with Mr.. Beach in
the enterprise. their names not being

through the city limits with too much
speed. He was allowed to go on with
his train to Chicago. The police over

too much fast running iI the corporation

The last spike on the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Northern railroad was driven at 6
o'clock last evening near Prairie du
Chen. This completes the track laying
from Oregon to st. Paul, and gives the
road an unbroken line from ST. Louis to
St. Paul. 1t will require several weeks
before the line will be balasted and the
line placed in condition to run trains.
However, it is expected that on Monday
next a train will be running from Prairie

How the Country Folks Feel.

Port Byron seems to be regarded as the
fifth wheel to the wagon" in county pol
tiles. In the republican county conven-
ton Tuesday, our candidate for county
judge was coolly laid aside, as was the
one for county clerk. However, A. E.
Lyford, after being beaten on the nomi>
nation for clerk, was taken up by the
Moline delegation for county treasurer,
and had things been managed properly
from the start, would, without doubt,
have received the nomination, having on
two ballots plurality, and on another,
which was rejected, a majority.-Porl
Byron Globe
The expression above made is but the
sentiment of the entire county outside OF
Rock Island. The country folks are JUS
tilted in their denunciation of the ring
business which has been carried on in
the republican cause in county politics
for years. The democrats have nomina-
ted county ticket, and all points of the
county are represented on the ticket. Ii
it is successful at the polls, it will be be-
cause the people are tired of the ring
and DESTROYS of giving the people all
over the county an opportunity to be
represented in the county government.

The Parsons Plen.

1t might be u source of enlightenment
to some TO know that the shrievalty Of
Rock Island county is not a recruiting of
fee, aud that the plea of failing health
will prove anything but a winning card
when presented by the Moline parson in
his endeavors to secure the Office. The
voters of Rock Island county are not re-
sponsible for Mr.. Morgan's physical, OIL
vocal infrmities His decline in health
WAS not brought about by labor in the
service of the people. and he is no more
justified in appealing to the suffrages OF
the people of Rock Island county under
the circumstances, than he had to the
republican party which nominated him
If any organization is under obligations
to him. it is the church in the service of
which be has lost his health, and to that
he should appeal for assistance. If the
office of sheriff is to be given to man
because he is not fit TO attend to the
duties of his profession, it will find plenty
of applicants in the future.
