speaking of breakfast, it's Gu
nous how our tastes changed
the first week of our travel we
wanted fruits, oatmeal, sirloin
stakes, eggs, chocolate and such
things and insisted on napkins and
niger bowls. Alter we got into
Georgia aud the Carolinas we had
forgotten there ever was such n
thing as napkins, and a quart of
DIack coffee each, a piece of ham as
large as the crown of this straw
hat and a hunk OF corn bread was
as good a breakfast as we ever
hoped for. At Perdido, Ala, we
round the country under water and
had to take the train for a few
miles. When we got over into the
eastern part of the State, the roads
were better comparatively, but very
sandy. But in such places we
usually found a little foot.patb bv

A transaction occurred Friday evening,
By which the old mill property at the
corner of Eighteenth street and Fifth
avenue, passed from David Stephens
into the hands of the Rock Island
Silver Plating works. and the company
is today moving its plant and machinery
from the Gas building on First avenue
and Seventeenth street to the new loca-
ton. The demand for increased capacity
has necessitated the change. The fran
building on the premises will be used
for the present, and in the spring &
new structure will be erected on the site
of the old mill. The company also ill.,
creased its capital stock from So, 800 to
s., 200 which certainly reflects a healthy
condition.

FRAUD.
Look Out for Bogus Tickets.

A number of bogus tickets were dis
tributed throughout the county yesterday,
purpOrting to be democratic tickets, but
bearing the names of W. H. Gest for
congress aud John T. Piatt for represen
tatiFe. These are frauds, aud democrats
should see that the ticket they cast is
straight, and that there are none other
than democratic nominees upon it. Read
it carefully before voting it, and the
whole ticket will then be elected.
The issuing of these bogus tickets has
been nnjustly credited to the democrats,
but this is false The ARGUS has traced
it down, and finds that John Huntoou is
the probable guilty one, as that gentle
man asked a friend of the peoples party
to go to the ARGUS office Saturday for
regular democratic tickets on which he
desired to place the name of Piatt.

| AT a joint meeting of the knights o
Labor assemblies at Moline Friday night
the following resolutions were adopted
| WHEREAS, Late developments prove

sembled, that we deprecate the fact, and
hereby demand the resignation of the
present incumbent of that office.
The Moline assemblies are to be com
mended for their resentment of the con.
duct of the state master workman, who
has used sacred trust imposed upon him
by them, to gain political prominence,
and the action thus taken will probably be
followed by other assemblies throughout
the state.
The following letter has been addressed
to the editor of the Moline Chimes:
