the pains and trouble that are being TAX
en- to make the FESTIVAL OF the Season"
which opens tonight, one of the most at-
tractive and pleasureable affairs that has
been held in Rock Island for some time.
1t will be the aim to make it the 'festi-
val Of the season" in all that the term
implies. The floor has been tranformed
into series of lovely booths, decorated
according to the month they respectively
represent. A stage with proper settings
has been erected in the rear Of the hall,
where it Is promised fine amateur ems
tertaiDment will be given. As heretofore
stated, the ladies of the Central church
have been unsparing in their efforts to
make the festival worthy of all the patro'
mage it should receive, The ARGUS makes
the promise that the public shall not be
disappointed, and the ladies should not

The Union makes frank confession of
the fact that it did not get onto the
Nebergall suicide sensation until
$50 in the morning. and that it trusted
wholly to the telephone for information
and its understanding then being that the
occurrence was less than two blocks away
from its door. If the Union would pay
more attention to enterprise and accur-
acy in the gathering of Its local news,
it might have more funds to pay those
enormous telegraph bills 1t brags so much
about and which it only uses because it
must or forfeit the franchise. Not very
long ago an attempt was made to discard
the telegraph, but finding that the dis
patches would be charged up anyway, it
resumed publishing them. The Union
has repeatedly attempted to dispose Of
one of its worthless franchises to the
Argos at almost any figure for a sale,
but failing in these schemes it feels much
like man with a white elephant on his
hands. The Unions confession would
be good for its soul, if it had one. But
! soul, like brains and the other organi
of healthy body, are among the missing
elements there

PUSHING THINGS.
Mr. Fred Haas Returns from Chicago
With Interesting Information Con-
corning Progressive Projects.

Mr.. Fred Has, president of the Rock
Island Citizens Improvement association,
returned from Chicago this morning,
where be has been in the interests OF the
viaduct and other questions concerning
the city's advancement. Mr.. Hass went
to Chicago as consequence of an inter-
view had BY himself and Major Connolly
with Col. Baylor the first of the week and
BY whom they were assured that he
would make his estimates this week, but
that he would be enabled to form better
ideas, had he knowledge Of what might
be expected of the railroads. Mr.. Hass had
long conference with President Cable and
Vice President Kimbsll, from whom g
received the gratifying assurance that the
Rock Island road would grant any rea-
sonsble rights to the government, and
would lower its tracks at the viaduct
crossing as low as practicable and keep
| them above high water mark. Mr. Hass
| also had an audience with the Burlington
officials, who agreed likewise TO lower
| their tracks to high water mark. Mr..
Hsss placed the officials of both roads in
communication with Col. Baylor before
leaving Chicago.
He Furthermore had an interview with
| President Holmes, of the street car syn
dicate, who gave expression to his hearty
| sympathy with the rIsduct project, anC
said that while the track laying across tn
bridges and island would be commenced
at once and that cars would be running
this winter, he entered his promise tina
he would tear up his tracks over tn
crossing and approaching it at his owi
expense and relay it over the yiaduct
should it be built Mr.. Holmes furthe
remarked that he proposed to have tn
double track down Second avenue bui
as rapidly as possible and, discussed wit
Mr.. Hass the propriety of paving betwee
the tracks with Ottawa thing.
Having accomplished this much good
Mr., Hsss called upon Judge Green, col
+ porstion counsel of Chicago, and OF
tanned the necessary blanks for speci
, assessment work, etc, and was drive

and accomplishments of the syste

not only governor possessed of nearly
absolute power. but also prophet. who
at any time may receive revelation re.
versing all past revelations.
If YOU could smite away the hierarchi-
cal organization of Mormonism in its low
er ranges, it would still have power as
long as the belief of the average Mormon
in his prophet should continue. Pulvsrize
that keystone and the whole arch tum>
bles. Let the average Mormon be con.
WINGED that his prophet is no more IN
communion with the Divine than any
other man. Let the pretensions of the
Mormon hierarchy to enlightenment by
revelation be once discarded and Nor
mouism, so far as it is a system of
thought, becomes heap of nonsense. In
shifting at this keystone we must use ed
vocational weapons. 1t takes but little
education to convince Mormon that he
has been misled by prophets who cover
their own sins by pretended revelations.
Another strong support of Mormonism
| is its political self rule. This root has
been often fed with blood. Mormonism
has been on the borders and has been able
to do as it pleased because it was SO far
away from civilization. The larger part
of the stories of their cruelty to Gentiles
is correct. believe if Brigham Young
had had his just deserts, he would have
passed into the next world much sooner
than he did. So far away Oh the border
behind the Rocky mountains the power
of the United States was so weak that
Brigham Young once drove out every
/ United States officer from the territory
and said: Il am governor and shall con
tinue to be until God Almighty shall say,
Brigham, you need be governor no long
err" God Almighty has said that, but
the United States has not said it yet
This Is the Mormon ulcer fattening itself
in the basin between the Rocky noun
tains and the Sierras--an institution that
seeks to undermine the family relation
the basis of all good government. L
seeks to turn this nation of ours into {
great Turkish harem. Place before
Mormonism the broad shield OF stat,
rights and its defence will be vulnerable
only by the baynet. Congress is right il
keeping ont of the union this twin reli,
Of barbarism. We are not ready to TAX
into the senate of the United States d
successors to the men who glorided it
Mormonism with six or eight wives.

The Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury
Unfortunate Girls Relatives Their

The Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury
Does Not Explain It---Arrivai OF the
Unfortunate Girls Relatives Their
story.
Coroner Halves was not long in COM
pleting the inquest on the body of the
girl Amanda Nebergall, an account of
whose suicide appeared in yesterdays
ARGUS. By 4:sO yesterday afternoon
the jury composed of Messrs. Saville
Johnston. Qoreman). L. V. Eekhart,
John Taylor, Chas. Haberlah. John Sul>
livan and Robert Bennett, had heard the
evidence and rendered verdict embody-
ing the simple fact that the girl came
to her death by poison administered by
her own hand" The inquisitstion failed
to elicit or deyelope any testimony bear
ing upon the real facts in the case further
than the immediate cause of death.
This morning Mr.. VIM. H. Nebergall and
wife and Henry Nebergall. father, mother
and brother respectively of the gil, ar
rived from their home at Adair. They
were shocked and grieved upon learning
of the young girls fate. but were unable
to throw any light upon the cause of the
affair, other than to assert their belief
that the tragedy was the result of evil
companionshIp and betrayal.
They stated, though, that the dead girl
had once been greatly disappointed in q
love affair and had never fully recovered
from it. She had expected to be married
TO cousin of the same name as her own,
and the hour for the wedding was set, bu,
at the appointed time the groom failed to
appear and the ceremony was never per
formed. The bride ODE became almost
distracted over her disappointment, ant
was never like herself afterward. Hel
boy is an illegitimate child, the cousir
who betrayed her being the father. Thu
girls relatives say she did not visit then
last Sunday, as she told Mr.. Wage sh'
did. The revelation of her whereabout
and companion during that time nigh
tend to explain her suicide.
The girl was buried 10 Chippiannocl
this morning, and this afternoon her pa
, rents and brother returned to Adair, tax
!, ing the motherless child with them. The
are country people, living few miles gu
