A Piece OF Strategy.

Ferdinand Dlbbern, of Moline, paint
er by occupation, is victim of connubi-
atty. Gu, to the heart and mortified in
spirit in ascertaining that his wife hank
cred after the flesh pots of Egypt, and
was following strange gods, Ferdinand
closed his arms and shut out his wayward
spouse, and rounded off this appropriate
proceeding by filing bill for divorce
with the circuit clerk. The grounds CIV
en- were full and sufficient, but it was not
all smooth sailing with Ferdinand, even
then. His spouse hied herself to the un-
..podly- shores Of Davenport, and the sher-
if could not serve the necessary papers
to notify her OF her husbands action ia q
legal way. In order to gain his point,
Ferdinand was compelled to resort to
strategy.
Six years ago the couple buried their
child, but no marble slab was erected to
mark its resting place. Dibbern pleaded
with his Maynard wife to come over to
this side and select a headstOne for their
dead child. Finally the woman cons
sented, and the couple repaired to Nc
Gees marble and granite works. Mean
while Bailiff Miller appeared and notified
Mrs. Dibbern of the divorce proceedings.
1t was peculiar and certainly sad
method of securing service. but Dibbern
probably used it as last resort to free
himself from the woman who had made
his life bowling misery.

"Irishman' Replies to Cid Joe.

ROCK ISLAND, April "A, 1886.
EDITOR ARGUs:-It does not always
rain when you hear a jackass bray. Old
Joe lies when he says IL was you, Mr..
Editor, that wrote the letter which he al
ludes to. In the first place, you did not
know anything about Joe fishing, and
catching those three black bass, nor you
don't know what they mean, yet But
the man that helped him to take them of
the hooks knows all about it.. The old
imbecile should learn something before
he undertakes to keep the people posted
in regard to the Irish league through his
dirty sheet. Let old Joe watch the next
national convention of the league and the
report of its officers, and he can get some
information. He tried to steal march
on our branch, when he sent one of his
spies to the secretary of the league to get
the use of tie books, but the secretary
knew his duty and would not allow
the spy to have the books He lies when
he says he has always been friend to
the Irish people 1t is the same cause
they were struggling for in 1866 What
was Joe's sympathy with them them He
had better keep mum or will let the Irish
people know the friendship he has for
them. Old Joe also lies when he says
that the intelligent Irish people do not
allow the ARGUS to be read in their FAM.
lies. know myself of over twenty of
them thai have stopped his dirty sheet
and are now taking the ARGUS, because
they can rely on it. Allow me to ask old
Joe what he thought to make of the Irish
IN the Fifth ward. when he endeavored
to turn them against one of the best
aldermen that ever represented the war d
in the council. Joe lies when he says
that Alderman Cavanaughs action with
the Priest caused the Irish of the ward to
vote against him. Now Joe, they did
not, but voted to man for him and
would today if he were up before them.
And now, Mr.. Editor.lold Joe prevari-
Gates again when he says he never said or
did anything against the ARGUS. He
caused me to be one of its greatest enc
mics in Rock Island. until found out
that was mistaken, and did not feel
safe in old Joe's company. l am not the
only one. There are many of us who
have had their eyes opened. FRESHMAN.

Soda

The good Marshall of the Harper house
drug store, adjusted the man spring of
his soda fountain yesterday, and is now
prepared to furnish the sizzling, airy
sweetness to the awaiting multitude.
But, 10, the weather cuts caper and is
more suggestive of giagercocktail than
anything else. Thus does Marshall find
himself rushing the season, when he
meant to steal march on lis unsophis-

No Boast, But rse.s.

Since DR.. Nichols came to Davenport
some seven months ago, he has treated
1878 patients. Ont of that number he
has yet to hear of one who has not heen
benefited or been permanently cured.
Those doubling the truth of this states
ment can examine the doctors books al
his Office. ST. Brady street. where the
learned physician has every name. street
and number of all the patients treated by
him. We very much doubt if ever a
professional man who has had such
merited success in so short a space of time
as DR.. Nichols.

the strikers. This is not the case. The

not from the strikers alone, but from

which does not believe in work, to be

RuMORs OF A CHANGE.

Railroad circles are rife with rumors as
to coming important changes on the c.,
B. Il @. upon the commencement of the
use of the c., B. & N, about the middle
of July. Prominent among the rumors
is one to the effect that p II. Houlahan,
trainmaster of the St. Louis & Rock Isl
and division Of the c., B. & @, is to be
appointed assistant superintendent of
the c., B. s. N, with head
quarters at Savanna, and that
his chief clerk. s. W. McCune. is to go
with him. Again it is said that Division
Superintendent Brown is to be superin>
tendent of the new road. If either or
both of these changes are made, it virtu>
ally means promotion, as the c., B. & N.
is a branch OF the Burlington system.
The above may be idle gosslp--Division

its readers the benefit Of what it hears.
NO DANGER NOW.
S. W. Raines, local yard master of the
c., r. |. & p. returned last night from
Chicago, where he went on business. To
an ARGUS reporter this morning. he said
there was not the least danger now of a
strike OF c., R. l and p. switchmen in
Rock Island, or Chicago. If there ever
had been any talk of trouble, it was all
set at rest now by the settlement of the
Lake Shore difficulties, which opened
through traffic to the east as before, and
be anticipated no impeachment to travel
on his road IN fact he had entertained no
fears from the first.

track that the passenger train had all the
steps on the right hand side carried away,
and the rear trucks of the last car were
turned completely around. The coaches
on reaching Dubuque, went into the
