Twenty men are engaged in putting in
new telephone wires from Davenport to
Rock Island and Moline via the govern
ment bridge, and have been since the 30th
ult. The old wires Were ten in number
and of iron. The SCOT and smoke from
locomotives constantly passing beneath
corroded them rs badly rs though acid
was poured on them. The new wires
will be of copper and twenty-fOur in num-
Der, with three times the talking capacity
OF the old system. Sixteen OF the wires
will run into the Rock Island city ex-
change and efyht into the Moline ex>
change. Manager Griffith says that the
new telephone communication with our
sister cities will be so much better than
the old, that patrons will be glad of this

SHATTERED HOMES.

Mr., samuel =. Knox Seeks Legal
Separation from His wife. and Mrs.
Alfred TItcomb from Her Husband.
Two bills for divorce were filed in the
office of Circuit Clerk Bowman last even
iny, in one Mr. Samuel p. Knox is the
complainant and his wife, Matte L. Knox,
the defendant; in the other Mrs. Alfred
TitcOmb is the complainant and her hus-
band the defendant. Both compliments
allege deserton and marital intideiity
The facts leading to these unfortunate
proceedings are doubtless still fresh in
the minds OF the readers of the ARGUS,
who will remember that on June 2
domestic trouble led 5. L. Knox
and his wife into the police court, and
how this man Titcomb appearing there in
Mrs KnOx's behalf as against her
husband in case which had
grown out of shattered home,
which he had succeeded in destroying;
how Mrs Titcomb, after tracing her de
ceptive and fai,hless husband from their
home in Chicago, entrapped him IN the
police court with his paramOur, and how,
when the case was continued which con
cOrned Matte Knox, she fed with Tit
comb. the pertidious pair leaving sor>
row-stricken husband and broken
hearted wife. .Titcomb and Mrs. Knox
are now living in Colorado.
The case is on a parallel with the re-
cent sensational elopement of H. W.
Moore and Mrs J. W. Norton. of st.
Louis it is a betrayal equally as base
and deplorable, though not quite in such
hi0h life

Grafton was whether or not one of the
five clubs was willing to step out, so a
ballot was taken, which resulted in Du-
buque being dropped, owing to the geo
graphical situation. The Inter-s state
league as now constituted comprises Dav.
export, Peoria, Bloomington and Tcrre
Hautc, all good live cities To insure
against further disarmament, each club is
compelled to deposit within two DAYS
with Secretary SPHINX a cash certificate OF
$500, us forfeit to play out its sChed>
ules. From the manner in which the
representatives. expressed themselves it is
safe to say that the present clubs will
play out the season. The schedule as ar
ranged and approved calls for thirty three
games in each city, the season to close

A German Opinion.

The Illinois Slaafs-Zeitung, the lead
ing German newspaper of Chicago, al
though claimed by the Democrats. enter
tains the sound Republican idea On the
tariff question and sPurns the Mills bill.
The following is the close of an editorial
on the subject in its issue of July 27:
A true, genuine and just tariff consists.
first, in the introduction of absolute free
trade for all such stuffs and articles which
are not raised in the United States at all
or in small measure only (say one-tenth
OF the total sale, such as sugar.; secondly,
in the adjustment of the productive pow
ers OF all such evidences of human labor
which our own country produces in a raw
state in such richness and large quanti-
ties. Every duty that is higher than is
necessary for the adjustment or equaliza-
ton of such producing powers is an evil,
and must be cut down to the proper
standard.
This is the tariff reform that appeals to
every sensible, liberal-minded and un-
prejudiced man as the only desirable one.
IL 80 hOt 0CHuOIidtiC, uOt AeCpUUlICdu, UuI
simple and sensible. But the swindle-
reform, such as the Mills bill "Tarif for
the South" would, if it became law,
have no other effect than to
l. Destroy a number of the industries
of the North;
2. Reduce the price Of labor at least
one-ha!f in industries that Uere not des-
trsyed,
8. DriUe hundreds Of thousands Of Ia
borers and a0orkmen to farming and
catt1e-r0ising, and
4. Thereby reduce the price Of bread
stuf:s o. meats, aohich Europe wiU not
buy, to Uery low figure, and destroy
the prices on all agricultural produc-
tions, such as grain and cattle, thereby
impoverishing the farmers, aoho are bad
1y enough off Nth the present prices, to
the state Of the peasants In Roumani0,
