Van Hoeck had tried to escape the way

Van Hoeck let the rifle slip from his

DODGES THE QUESTION
Boss Wells Beats Another IEnomin

Ross Wells Beats Another Ignomin-

Howard Wells, ESQ.,, Chairman Republican Coun-
ty Committee:
MOLINE, Oct. SIR: Your commun-
icatiop published in the Rock Island I'm
ion of this date. in reply to the challenge
of the Tariff Reform League, is not ger>
main to the issue therein contained. You
assign various assumed reasons in
stump editorial. Our proposition is very
fair and liberal; we simply ask the Iepub
lican party to discuss fairly and squarely
the great issues that divide the parties.
that the people may fully understand, in
diligently and honestly, the position of
both parties on these questions, and ask
you to meet US in joint debate, the peo-
pie to be the jury. You refuse to grant
the information the people desire in joint
debate, but simply evade the issue by
such sophistry as your reply contains and
your bugabOo cry, free trade" The
democratic party asks for wise and ju-
dicious revision of the tariff, and propose
to lesson the burden of taxation upon the
necessities of life, such as are used in
every household, the taxes upon which
adds to their value, and to tax luxnries
which present no features of hardship.
You refuse to go before the people on
this issue, and they can best judge your
reasons why by reading your communica
ton. Their decision will be satisfactory
to US. Resp'y, GEO W. VINToN.

Mr.. James Cozstt, who has been superS

Wednesday, and will probably devote

street to Moline avenue. where it strikes
the old Moline and Rock Island line.
The motors have been abandoned entirely,
but will be kept BY the syndicate until
next spring, with the expectation,
it is understood, of having use
for them in Davenport, the in
tention being to extend the present
terminus of the old Third street line
around to the gate of Scbuetzen park, a
distance of about mile, and operate that
portion of it by motor power. 1t will be

fondly entertained that none of the stock
of the old Third street line be transferred
to Rock Island in return, for 1t has the
reputation of being the most diabolically
equipped road in the country. There are
probably not half dozen cars alike on
the entire road. and with the exception OF
few new ones they are daubed up with
all the colors of the rainbow. The carr

A Guilty Conscience Is Likely TO Mis-
it.
The Union seems to have a particular
spite against Mr.. H. E. Casteel, the DEM
ocratic nominee for circuit clerk, and 1t
is not without the range of possibility
that such enmity is we'll founded. In
this mornings issue it makes this crack:
Business must be rushing around the
county treasurer's Office lately, as Deputy
Casteel, the democratic nominee for Cir
cult clerk, is just now devoting most of
his time and what little energy he has to
running around soliciting funds for the
democratic campaign. The people are
taxed to pay him to attend to the duties
of the Office where he is employed, and
not to scallahoot about over the country
on such errands. Union.
In order that the ARGUS might accu
ratelv advise its innocent n morning con-
temporary as to how much of SAL
airy the tax payers pay for the services of
the deputy county treasurer. and how
much of his time he is expected to de-
vote to his duties as such, the county
clerks office was called up by telephone
this morning and Deputy Kohler-who
by the way is secretary of the republican
county committee, too-responded:
Col" said the man at the ARGUS end
of the wire, how much of a salary does
the county pay for deputy treasurer"
Il think it is $500. You know there
is only work for such an officer about
four or five months in the year"
The ARGUS thanked the colonel for
the information which it considered of
a sufficiently reliable nature to convince
the Union, and rung of. 1t may be fur
ther interesting and convincing proof for
the Union of the fact that Mr.. Casteel is
neglectiDg none of his duties to remind
it that during the four years of Mr.
Fleming's incumbency his deputy found
ample time each year to devote severa
months to work on the city collector:
