Going Away.

Rock Island is to lose one of its best
and most thriving industries. After
eleven years of successful business In
Rock Island Mr. Geo Downing, Jr., has
decided to cast his lot in the west and
will remove his foundry to either Lincoln,
Neb., or Horton, Kan. In both places,
especially Lincoln, he HIS found good
openings and tempting inducements to
remove to either place have been EXTEND
ed. Mr. Downing therefore has not ar
rived at his determination through any
business dissatisfaction here, but he sees
prospect to do better elsewhere. and
natural enough has decided to go.

ening manner. whereupOn the latter
picked up a beer bottle and hurled 1t full
in smiths face. The two men
were standing but short
distance apart yet the missive was
thrown with such terrific force that it
was smashed TO atoms as it came in con
tact with the face of the victim at which
it was aimed. The assaulted man, at first
stunned by the blow, staggered and then
made lunge at his assailant, striking
him with his fist, and then hurried out of
the saloon and up to DR. Pauls office in
Masonic Temple, leaving trail of blood
in his tracks
DR.. Paul made an examination and
found two severe and very dangerous
looking cuts on the left side of the fore
head. One was an irregular cut three
inches long--a deep and ugly cash, sew
ering several superficial arteries. The
other cut was at right angles with that
described. and was not so bad. The nose
also bore several smaller cuts. DR. Paul
says he cannot yet tell how serious the
injuries may result, but that they are OF
such nature as may develop into dams
gerous wounds.
Renfro was arrested after the affair bv |
Marshal Brennan and officer Cary ana |
taken before SQUIRE Halves, where Smith.
after his wounds were dressed, was also
taken.

The rumor that A. r. Vanhorn had

The political pot now begins to boil,
and before November the hot, seething
mass will undoubtedly slop over with
the accumulated filth and corruption of
bygone years. The manner in which
political campaigns are conducted of
late years is well calculated to cause
every honest man to shrink from pass
ing through the fearful ordeal, or per-
hitting his name to go before the peO-
pie for any Office, and undoubtedly de-
prlveS the public OF the services OF many
an honest and efficient man. It was
our-well, our an ything but pleasure
to listen, a few evenings ago, to what
most of the audience pronounced bril-
liant speech by one of those smart AL
icks who go about the country cracking
course, rough jokes, at the expense of
the other fellow, without advancing
single idea for or against any given pol
icy or party. Such times as these de-
mand that every citizen of the United
States should calmly and carefully con-
slider the situation; study well the diff
ferent party platforms, and acquaint
themselves as far as possible with the
public acts of the candidates in the field
and then coolly and candidly Judge for
himself and cast his ballot accordingly.
Therefore, the political mountebanks
and jngglers who go about the country
trifiing with the best interests of our
people should be relegated to the shades
of barbariSm.
